What is Nix.Camp? What happened at Nix.Camp 2023? I wrote a blog post about it. Share it and come next time! nix.how/blog/nixcamp-2… #nixos #nixcamp #functionalprogramming #nix #weeknotes @nixos_org

Using the @XREAL_Global eyes and beam gives near real time performance in a small package. Next step is to get this running in a container @MatthewCroughan suggested Nix + Waydroid

@Minionflo420 GPD Pocket 4

@MatthewCroughan And may i ask what computing device that is?

Flying home from Zurich and working on porting qcm6490 to #nixos

Enjoyed learning more about the #scion network protocol and integrating it deeper into #NixOS at the #scionhackathon 2025 in #zurich, thanks @Adrian_Perrig for making something so interesting that I can't stop trying to figure it out. #weeknotes

@whitegavriel can you please play at futureyard.org? Been thinking of making the Windows 96 Appreciation Society at my local hackspace, Birkenhack. You should get on the Fediverse too.

nix.camp 2025 is on 27th August - 3rd of September @ birkenhack.org & astralship.org. An opportunity to hack on things before flying out to #nixcon! Read more @ nix.camp #nixcamp #nixos #nix #reproducibility

@fmzakari @ProgrammerDude @jonringer117 Yes, that's what Grace Hopper suggests. Move unused stuff to slower archive storage.

@MatthewCroughan @ProgrammerDude @jonringer117 We can move older releases to Glacier which are cached but really slow ? 🤔

Sovereign Tech Agency of the German Government just invested 230,000 euros into Nix/Nixpkgs/NixOS This is *amazing* news discourse.nixos.org/t/transforming…

@ProgrammerDude @jonringer117 Feels like the reason the cache costs so much is because we keep all paths online because of prestige and not because we need them. Hard truth. Grace Hopper points out this contention in her talk. youtu.be/si9iqF5uTFk?t=…

@jonringer117 The cache currently costs around 16k per month

@SeungheonO @locallycompact Is xmonad overloaded now?

@locallycompact @MatthewCroughan runX :: MonadX m => m ()

I just want my computer to boot into a haskell unikernel and a shell with fifty different effect interpreters all very neatly labelled is that too much to ask?

@grhmc @DeterminateSys I tried github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/…

Would folks like it if @DeterminateSys published a NixOS ISO which had flakes enabled and the default configuration.nix was a flake instead?

Would be good if someone at @softwincn could look at #note_2889235" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issu… to resolve firmware issues causing hard resets with the GPU on Linux

@BKAngryKing @LukasHozda Seems to be a great way of getting paid.

@LukasHozda Linux is the OS you use when you value your own time at $0.

@youkhna May be, but I can't run my peaceful Linux on it, nor can I easily build the untrustworthy Android it is running from source.

This isn’t a concept. This isn’t a render. It’s real. It’s running. It’s everything you actually need in a phone and nothing you don’t. 📵 No doomscrolling. ⌨️ Full keyboard. 🔋 Week-long battery. 🧠 Designed to help you think, not sink. #MinimalPhone

@cguida6 It means that you compile linux, and you make sure the dr_mode is set to host, and not to peripheral or otg. I'm not sure why you think you can change this on the running system. The device-tree is something you load when launching the kernel. Haven't seen that work differently.

@MatthewCroughan Okay, I'm not sure what that means, but I'll give it a shot

Now that I have #uboot, #systemdboot and #nixos running on my phone, no one will be able to stop me, mwuahahah #weeknotes

@cguida6 Can't help with postmarketOS. If you have a device tree with dr_mode set to host, it works fine. I'm not sure what you're talking about with echoing into files. Build Linux with the DTS with dr_mode set to host.

I've tried it, man; I can't get it to work. I've tried these instructions again and again, and i can't get any response from even an external thumb drive #Dts_method" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_6… Just echoing `host` into the `mode` file does not cause the mode to change. I've tried recompiling the kernel with various different mods and no dice. If you have some trick to it I would love to know that that is!

@cguida6 External drives will work fine with SDM845, you just need external power and dr_mode in the device tree set to host instead of otg/peripheral

Awesome! Would you be able to test with an external SSD and charger simultaneously and let me know? I haven't gotten this to work on any modern phone with USB-C yet, and I've tried a whole bunch of phones with nixOS, pmOS, Ubuntu Touch, and Mobian. The OnePlus 6 is an amazing phone, but external drives don't work at all afaict, so I can only sync a pruned bitcoin node, which is not nearly as useful as a full node. The best I've achieved is on the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, which is microusb not USB-C, and will most likely take a few months to sync a full bitcoin node. The Xiaomi Mi A1 allegedly supports USB-C role-switching on pmOS, but the external drive always disconnects as soon as I plug a charger into the PD port on a hub. I have a complicated rig with USB-C to microusb adapters and a microusb elbow hub, but this starts to throw I/O errors after a day or two of syncing.

@crazyminecuber I've never had a job interview by GSM call.

@MatthewCroughan But, can you make calls with it? And do you trust it enough to not miss your next job interview call?

@joseph_h_garvin latest is just a name. It does not mean it will go and fetch some random shit each time. It means it will look at the "inputs.nixpkgs.url" and flake.lock for a specific ver, or <nixpkgs>. Then it will get the latest that was pinned to. It will never change.

My understanding is that nix is reproducible, but how can it be if there are lines like this in my config? package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.latest;

@cguida6 Yeah the usb is fully functional

@MatthewCroughan Ah nvm it says storage devices 0 But maybe it supports external ssds? Been looking for any phone that I can plug an SSD and a charger into, that doesn't suck
