Thanks, this claim is bogus. I had a branch that chmod 0600 the file, but even this doesn't really count as "secure".

Tired of hitting rate limits when running `nix flake update`? Trying to fetch a private repository in your flake inputs or builtin fetchers?

Here is a new tool for you (still early, looking for feedback):

Introducing NixOS Mediation: A New Conflict Resolution Service Hey everyone, I’m excited to introduce a new service to the NixOS community: NixOS Mediation. Mediation is a valuable tool for resolving disputes and conflicts in a structured and constructive way. ...

Something I have been working on for the past month.

I'm excited to see what improved communication can bring to the NixOS ecosystem.

Prediction: one or more languages will emerge, optimised for LLMs to talk to each other.

We'll start seeing Tweets that humans don't understand.

Do you remember the OOP gang of four? Or how UML was going to replace programmers? When REST or Semantic Web was the new hotness? Or Unix systems full of security holes?

Stuggling to build good software isn't something new I feel.

Every few years I run into it, and it has this intriguing set of features and vibe. BBS for the Web.

I'm curious if any businesses are using it.

Nix: structuring Flakes with Blueprint I’m sitting here, in an Airbnb in Brussels, after a long weekend of talking tech and drinking beer during my first FOSSDEM. Seems like as good a time as any then to try and restart my regular posting ...

The project is coming along quite nicely.

nice, looks good. it's going to be good for the ecosystem to reduce the amount of input "follows" and flake.lock file sizes.

End of life for the free tier of the Magic Nix Cache Some unfortunate decisions by GitHub have forced us to wind down free caching with the Magic Nix Cache by 1 February 2025

Is anybody using determinate.systems/posts/magic-... ?

Kinda wondering if it's worth rewriting it in TypeScript.

Nix 2.26 released Hi, I’m pleased to announce the availability of Nix 2.26. It is available from https://releases.nixos.org/?prefix=nix/nix-2.26.0/ . Support for relative path inputs #10089 Flakes can now refer to...

discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-2-26-r...

Nix 2.26 is out!

The biggest change is how path sub-flakes are handled. Previously, their input was locked by a hash which led to confusion from users.

With that change, having a `./dev` sub-flake now becomes practical.

Sometimes I have the impression that most users are copy-pasting nix code between projects and banging on it until it works. It's just a tool they use for their $dayjob that solves a devenv problem.

If you try it out and get stuck, let me know. The project code is in a good shape but what's missing now is better documentation. Getting feedback from new users is what motivates me to write those docs.

it's ok, I forgive you :-p

flake-utils is a weekend hack that came out at the right time. It's interesting to see how much inertia it still has when better things came out since.
