I use xmonad and won’t switch until there’s a viable alternative (probably never).

I have MPV setup to play any YouTube link when I press ctrl cmd m with a YouTube video url in my clipboard.

I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.

This glitch is annoying. This link/project is dead in so many different ways.

• It’s not open source.

• The site is down.

• NodeRed actually does what this non-working app says it does.

I use NixOS with Home Manager and flakes.

thanks so much for sharing. I’ll give it a look.

It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕

rebuild_intelTower_withUpdate() { ./home/scripts/pullrelease.sh nix flake update sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#intelTower --impure --show-trace nix build .#homeConfigurations.bismuth-edp.activationPackage --impure --show-trace activateHM }

😂😂😂😂I saw that too and left it because I also found it hilarious.

Fair enough.

It really isn’t that bad, though, IMO. Here’s my super-customized xmonad tiling window manager NixOS config fully realized in a github repo. Feel free to fork it if it helps tame some of the intimidation factor.

I recommend NixOS. ;)

Glad to help! I’m merely standing on the shoulders of the giants before me.

I use xmonad/polybar/rofi/alacritty/fish with Home Manager and flakes. You could just use my whole config and have it up and running in a day, deleting lines and adding others. Fork it and modify it to meet your preferences (as I did when I forked this amazingly slick config). I even made a custom typeface to add my favorite crypto logos to my Polybar.

I know it’s a strange place for this conversation but the facts remain: docker images don’t do this and nix flakes actually do. As the video I linked demonstrates and you allude to, Docker files aren’t 100% hermetic (which means they’re not reproducible) while Nix flakes actually do achieve this. Watch the video I linked for more explanation which directly talks about how nix works with the goals of Docker that you mentioned in the head of your last comment. I hope my non-confrontational tone comes across somehow. This is all said with respect and in the spirit of science.

No offense but it sounds like you don’t actually understand nix flakes if you think they’re 1:1 equivalent to Docker.

They simply are not containers. They allow the declarative BUILD of any derivation at any time in the future. They hermetically lock all dependencies and build instructions which allows you to archive and reproduce the EXACT content-addressed dependency graph of the software. You can rebuild using a flake while Docker doesn’t actually allow that same hermetic reproducible guarantee whatsoever.

See here for a much better explanation of the glaring differences between the two: https://youtu.be/0uixRE8xlbY

You could even build a container with a flake though I’d recommend OCI instead because they’re an open standard…

How long until nix flakes go mainstream and fix this problem?
