Commits Β· nix-community/crate2nix crate2nix builds your cargo-based rust project crate-by-crate with nix - Commits Β· nix-community/crate2nix

So crate2nix has a new maintainer after being dead for roughly two years, but it's all Co-Authored-By Claude Code now.

We do get per-crate granular caching in crate2nix (which is its main advantage over, e.g., crane or nixpkgs' buildRustPackage). Unfortunately it doesn't yet support LTO.

Happily using Nix for that in a polyglot monorepo of Rust, Go, Node and Python (through crate2nix, gomod2nix, yarnpnp2nix and uv2nix)

OVH Cloud summit email stating the "event will gather an international audience and is to be held entirely in English"

When #OVH states their event is held entirely in English but then you come to the two hour keynote and it's entirely in French without any bullet points or subtitles. So that was a damn lie. Hardest listening comprehension exercise of this year.

Very […]

There are a few things I'd really like to see (refs/pr/, git-lfs) but other than that it's *perfect* for nixpkgs development.

You're not alone. 😭 Wish we had a European alternative that comes close. There were some suggestions on Mastodon but I yet have to check them out properly.

Do you know that we have Steam curators to list games #MadeWithGodot?

The first one reached max capacity (2000 games), so we opened a second one.

You can follow both to see Godot games right in their Steam page.

Fifty people feels like a lot when they are tweeting about how awful someone is but when
you actually see them in a list and realize "oh this is all of them, this is everyone who gives
a shit about this", all the power disappears. Huge self-own.

It's such a terrible mental tax on builders that divisive clowns just ride in and spew these bullshit terms that they clearly don't understand themselves in bad faith.

Ignore & keep building

Just in case you were wondering, Mr. Tailwind CSS himself is all cool with the fashy vibe. (This comes as no surprise to anyone paying any attention for the last several years…he's always palling around with best buddy DHH.)

If you don’t install macOS 26 they will know you didn’t install it and it might make them think about what they’ve done.

1/3 I’m currently writing a little story set in the Arcpunk universe. It’s really fun right now, though I’m only at about 13,600 words. Here’s a shot from the story :D

Highly appreciate that you took the time to write all of this down in such a thorough and clear-headed manner. For us outsiders it was very hard to judge what exactly is going on, precisely for the points laid out.

I added a hover mode to the spacecraft controller! It tries to keep the craft level at a fixed altitude so that the player can precisely maneuver across the ground.

Oh and also it's now possible to load in any 3D scene with colliders, like this makeshift landing pad.
