Shahar "Dawn" Or

NovaCustom, a computer manufacter, announced recently; they support NixOS on their laptops and mini PCs. I got the founder on a recording, had a chat, what does it mean for NovaCustom to support NixOS? What is NixOS support for a computer? How did they achieve this?

Nix Freaks 18 with toastal and kiara. I was also there. We talked about input pinning, some mad workarounds, Nixtamal, flake-parts and the dendritic pattern.
fulltimenix.com/episodes/nix...

Nixtamal; Fulfilling input pinning for Nix without flakes. A conversation with the author, toastal, & the author of niv (to ask smart questions). Host, forge & VCS agnostic. Eval-time & build-time fetchers. Supports mirrors! Custom freshness commands. And more.

Slippery slop

What do we have in Nix Freaks 17?
forks and the health of the ecosystem, scalability of flakes, the potential for introducing Rust into OG Nix, evaluation, dynamic derivations, overlays and more.

I think the dendritic pattern is most worth studying. And it's probably the most well documented.

See the various links in there.

Congrats! Well, my own infra repo does not have any abstractions with regards to configurations. It's just flake-parts.

I'm convinced that code should be authored as a team in the first place.
