If you're only going to read one thread about the constant ongoing shitshow with #NixOS governance, let it be this one. Because all the finer details just don't actually matter.

After almost a year of full time using #nixos today was the day I realized, I don't need to `ssh` to the other computer, `git pull` and switch.
If `ssh` is there, #nix can connect to the other computer, build and deploy all from my main computer.
I was aware of nix's ability to connect and deploy to other computers, I don't know why it took me so long to realize how simple it is.
Merry Christmas 🎉
Here's the command I'm using `nh` instead of `nixos-rebuild`:

Whew. Biggest donation to date!
15 upcycled Dell Latitudes with 10th gen i7, 16 gigs of ram, and NVMe drives.
We partnered with a local program that helps families with Christmas presents, and they always want laptops.
This year, The Computer Upcycle Project was able to deliver.
Freaking love this work!

I'm currently editing a terrific conversation with @codemonkeymike about how he's using #NixOS and his free time to make a huge impact on peoples lives.
Tomorrow I'm reuniting with @thelinuxEXP, @gamingonlinux and @gardiner_bryant to record "Games For Everyone..."
And on Thursday, the wonderful @vkc to chat music production on Linux!

TIL that in Nix, if you have a multi-line string of code, you can simply prefix it with a comment stating the name of the language and Tree-sitter will highlight it for you!
{
# The TOML string below will be highlighted!
programs.foo.extraConfig = /* toml */ ''
bar = "baz"
'';
}

Today I finally release #PKGMGR 1.0.0 🎉
A multi-distro workflow & package manager built on #Python + #Nix. It unifies repo management, builds & releases and now stabilizes and future-proofs @infinito development and deployment.

It finally happened... I got my hands on a infamous trash can!
I love it so much, even though it's the most ridiculous thing.
It mostly works great on #linux though! Wifi is normal broadcom nonsense but easy. It's the weird and graphics that cause headaches. Wayland is a problem. So x11 it is. And #nixos seems to be nothing but headaches too.
Soo I'm using this opportunity to reconnect with my #ubuntu #mintxMint #docker roots.
Hard to believe this gorgeous 27" iMac, with a 6 core i5-8500, 16 gigs of ram and a solid state drive was on its way to the dump.
Apparently, it's not "good enough" to run the new MacOS, so it was discarded.
Thankfully, #linux is here to save the day and make this a perfect computer for someone that will last YEARS into the future.

The ifstate 2.2 release - a tool for declarative network configuration for Linux - is available in the most recent stable releases of Alpine Linux 3.23 and NixOS 25.11. 🥳
Fun fact: this is the first NixOS release where you can use a declarative network configuration out of the box 😉
