Instead of Condorcet and the SC, make #ThaigerSprint / #OceanSprint last three months and vote for elimination every half week. Other #Survivor rules apply as is. The Sole Survivor becomes #NixOS BDFL but for two years rather than FL.
Ok fixed that. I had to remove the cargoLock block and add cargoHash = "" and after that the fix.1 was useful.
But now I'm back at it not building because one dep present in the workspace is missing. How to you build a single #rust executable package from a workspace with #nix ? I don't want the dep to be it's own nix package so far.
Back at it; in the end my problem is that cargo build fails because it can't find openssl (and pkg-config). I've tried to add:
buildInputs = [ pkgs.openssl pkgs.pkg-config ];
I've also tried with nativeBuildInputs, changed nothing.
The doc I've found ( https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#compiling-rust-applications-with-cargo ) was not very helpful. Where can I find the full description of all the configuration options of buildRustPackage ? Surely there's something I'm doing wrong, but what?
Hey! We are looking for a new Team Lead for IT Operations!
We are bevuta, a tech company working from all over Europe. Together we develop and operate projects such as nora, Germany’s official emergency call app system.
In this role, you will lead our IT Operations team to ensure availability and security of our infrastructure.

So we now have DHH, Lunduke, Palmer Luckey (the Anduril guy), and Jon Ringer (Anduril employee and instigator) publicly chatting about taking over the NixOS project: https://xcancel.com/PalmerLuckey/status/1972037286192992320 - with at least one of the NixOS Steering Committee members being on Anduril's payroll. That's several wealthy and influential overt fascists.
I'm not sure how much more clear anyone can make it that NixOS has a fascist problem, that leadership is either failing or refusing to address (and the distinction between the two doesn't really matter anymore by this point).
Think very, very carefully whether this is a project that you want to put your limited time on this Earth into.
You're not going to 'fix' it; many went before you and failed. The broader userbase does not have shared values and continues to staunchly believe in it all somehow magically working out if we just do enough electoral 'democracy' LARPing. The leadership is unwilling to take more radical actions and eject the fascists. There is no path to a solution, no matter how hard you campaign.
Seriously. If you want something like NixOS, put your time into working with people who actually care about opposing fascism. Make a fork, make your own thing, whatever. Anything other than continuing to pour free labour and plausible deniability into the fascists' coffers.

#NixOS
The NixOS situation is not just 'drama', it's something much worse. Much of the recent conflict has revolved around Anduril, an arms dealer in the US. They use NixOS, and the project has repeatedly made space for them - allowing them to sponsor conferences, allowing their employees on the governance committee(!), and so on.
Anduril makes suicide drones that explode near people. They make missiles and many other offensive weapons. They also supply the surveillance towers for the US border, the ones that are used to track down and murder immigrants. And more recently, the Trump regime handed them a contract for autonomous border towers: https://archive.is/e2NcN
Anduril are Trump's buddies, there is a direct relationship there. They are also using NixOS. Space is repeatedly made for them in the project. It doesn't really get any more direct; every bit of work and praise that you put into NixOS goes directly into the murder machines that they manufacture for Trump's regime. A significant part of the community knows this and is okay with it, even trivializes it.
You're not going to elect your way out of this. NixOS is very directly fascist tech now. It's used by fascists, and governed by fascists. And I think that to a lot of people it has never become quite clear just how direct this connection is.
Do you want to be using a fascist OS? Do you want to be working on a fascist OS?
The guy running the "Full Time Nix" podcast who goes by the names "mightyiam" or Shahar "Dawn" Or joined the SC election room last night to ask this.
This is bona fide bigotry, and he should be removed from this community.
But at the very least people representing the community should stop appearing on his platform.
I'll add another receipt to drive the point home. His profile on hachyderm was swiftly banned after this exchange.

#NixOS
The only way this is ever going to stop is by piercing that veil of plausible deniability, so hereby:
#NixOS has become a fascist project. Do not contribute to it.
