Ever built a "minimal" NixOS image and been shocked to find it's over 1.5GB? 🤯
Bloated images are a headache, but it doesn't have to be that way. The second article in our NixOS appliance image series is a deep dive into shrinking a NixOS appliance, taking it from 1.5GB all the way down to relatively lean ~360MB.
The new post shares practical, step-by-step "tricks" for hunting down and eliminating unnecessary dependencies. You'll learn how to use tools like `nix-store --query` and `nix why-depends` to find out why things like Perl, Python, or even speech synthesizers are ending up in your build.
If you're looking to optimize your NixOS systems, this is a must-read.

In this FreeBSD Journal article, Vanja Cvelbar combines FreeBSD, Home Assistant, and rtl_433 to build a smart home weather & sensor integration system.
It’s a great example of how FreeBSD supports real-world embedded and automation use cases.
