Linux Is Best

I think the one thing I am not happy concerning NixOS is the lack of a GUI VPN (not Flatpak).

I, know how to use the terminal, but I can repeat how to use it until I am blue in the face, and pass out, but that knowledge and wisdom will wash over the other person who needs it. They'll hear me, but forget the moment I walk out of the room. If it is not graphical, they're not learning it.

Linux Is Best

There are a lot of people who tend to share their NixOS Configuration files. I think they mean to be helpful, but usually, they filled with so much bloat and random customization, without any documentation on what is optional.

So let's change that and share something simple.

This is pretty much the stock KDE install with the media codecs included, Mesa, Vulkan, Flatpak, and Bluetooth enabled. That's it. The "bonus" was the few OpenVPN packages and iVPN packages (which you can remove if you don't need).

Welp turns out this RNG trick doesn't actually work in #Nix pure eval mode since in that mode, you can only access a path using a string with context for that path, but that causes Nix to materialize that path. Hmm back to the drawing board I guess

cool, i now get push notifications via #ntfy when any #systemd service fails and it will include the logs as well! this is a lot better than manually checking the status and logs every morning.

i thought this would be impossible in #nix due to infinite recursion and that i would have to manually set OnFailure= for every service, but i found a blog post with an easy workaround instead:

@joat @dylancode I've been using NixOS for years, and I'm afraid I agree.

NixOS still is the best general usecase distro I've used, but I got vendorlocked into a technology that has largely been developed by awful people. And I hate being vendorlocked into such a thing, because now I can't quit, and I have no hope of it ever getting better.

I tried to fix it, but I just can't. I don't have the mental to force people to do the right thing when their salary depends on doing the wrong thing.

Any way to trigger a command in #NixOnDroid with the press of a button on the home screen?

For #termux there is the widget app but it doesn't appear to work with #nix-on-droid.

I really don't want to have to install and maintain #gitAnnex using some install script and some prebuilt global FHS binaries when I could simply get it from #nixpkgs.
