  • Is there a good reason to use point releases on NixOS? I always used unstable and the support is less than a year for releases anyways. It’s a nice sprint to get all components in a polished state, but then again unstable hasn’t really disappointed in that regard either.


  • Damn I love Don Rosa comics.

    Is this from the one where they found Croesus’ vault to make the amulet from his lucky coin?

    Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is also not only a happy story about him getting rich, but also about becoming lonely and somewhat bitter in the later stories.

    Highly recommend reading them, Disney likes sweep them under the rug for whatever reason.

    The treasure hunt series (where I think this picture is from) is a bit more light-hearted in nature, but still very good.










  • I’m generally not a big fan of switch, as you experienced, you risk a lot of generations that you don’t actually need. Also, in some cases, switching isn’t possible (e.g. you remove sddm and on switching, nix wants to restart all services related to the no longer existing sddm user).

    My usual workflow is for smaller changes to just do nixos-rebuild test and try out things, and when it suits my needs finalize via nixos-rebuild boot. Bigger stuff I try to isolate and then do a nixos-rebuild boot only.

    I noticed there is now an option to build the initrd with systemd and control which units to include. The cryptsetup-generator is mentioned as an example. Does anyone know if this enables TPM unlocking of LUKS volumes that have a TPM key enrolled via systemd-cryptenroll?
