Maybe I was just living under a rock, but in case you missed it, too: As an EU Citizen, you can use your eID on Linux, for example I used the following #NixOS config:

programs.ausweisapp = {
enable = true;
openFirewall = true;
};

…and then started “AusweisApp” to use my smartphone as a card reader in order to log my desktop into https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/ to make my voice heard regarding animal welfare regulation in the EU. Cool!

It’s release time! We’re happy to announce #Lix 2.94 “Açaí na tigela” is now available.

With this release, you’re getting bug fixes, performance tweaks and quality of life improvements, as well as our first steps towards Cap’n’proto based RPC.

An important note: Flakes turn even colder, as our implementation of them enters the freeze period.

As we are locked out of the #nixos binary cache ( #cloudflare related), making an emergency one just rose in my todo list.

What should I use?
nix-serve or Attic, or other?

Upgrading to Iocaine 3, and got a persistent exit code 216 from Caddy. It seems that the iocaine.service must be started before caddy.service, which is not true of other services I reverse proxy with Caddy. Curious.

Anyone know why #UPnP appears to be broken on #NixOS?

So far I only found one forum post attributing it to a "beyond repair" broken Multicast in #NixOS

#Multicast

It is the year 2035. The #NixOS project has been taken over by centrist bureaucrats, who by now have successfully reinvented a complete judicial system from first principles. All new code being written is some GitHub Action for yet another process tracking bot. The last person working on Nixpkgs has been banned for self-merging too much years ago. The governance only governs about how the governance enforcement should be developed.

Managed to fix it.
Here the solution to the supposedly "broken beyond repair" multicast in nixos:

```
networking.nftables.enable = true;
networking.firewall.extraInputRules = "pkttype { broadcast,multicast } accept";
```

Nix Derivation Madness

I'm preparing a NixOS config for a new computer. It blows my mind (once again) that you can test and polish your config in a VM, so that when your computer arrives you just import the hardware-config, and boom, you're good to go! In theory. But for me, theory ≅ practice with #nixos so far.

Time to refurbishe my #nixos command line!

- List your generations
"nixos generations list"

- Switch to n generation
"nixos generation switch 43"

- Automatic rollback on failure.

And a lot more features!! 😍
