Home Manager NewsA new module is available: 'programs.lazysql'. This module provides configuration for LazySql, a terminal-based SQL client with an intuitive interface for database management and query execution across multiple database engines. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeManager</a>

Serge from BabkaA Nix challenge.I use home-manager, which I like a lot. I can keep my config files, my software, etc. in syncThe problem is that I'd like to do things with home-manager that it seems incapable of doing, like making a symlink from dirA to dirB without dirB then being inside my Nix store.For example, I use Nextcloud and Syncthing to syncronize files across my system. For example, I'd like my ~/Nextcloud/para/1_Projects directory to be symlinked into my home directory, so ~/1_Projects is goes to the Nextcloud folder.Yet home-manager seems incapable of doing that. It tries to "own" the Nextcloud directory and then symlink from *its* version of the directory.So now I need two tools?<a href="https://babka.social/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/homemanager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homemanager</a>

LovesTha🥧Okay, I don't like <a href="https://floss.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#python</a>, but I think this is <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a>/#NixOS causing issues due to how it does things differently. My minimal test case (using vu for package management) works simply on other OS, but I can't convince it to work in nix. I get errors about not finding the grpc dependency.Minimal test.py:# /// script # dependencies = [ # "google-cloud-firestore", # "firebase-admin", # ] # ///from firebase_admin import firestore

All of my about:config, themes, toolbar layouts, and everything.I was thinking about some <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ansible</a> module, or about starting to use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a> just for my browser, or maybe <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/syncthing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#syncthing</a> .Please share your experiences.

UNDLTDReleased a new version of <a href="https://codeberg.org/undltd/om" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">om</a>, my command line tool for quickly (un)mounting and safely detaching disks.There's just one visible change: the new <code>-k</code> / <code>--keep</code> option. Occasionally I want to unmount all filesystems on a disk / thumb drive (also lock encrypted volumes), but not actually physically detach the disk yet. With <code>--keep</code>, <code>om</code> will skip powering off the disk after performing all other steps.Note to <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a> / <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NixOs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOs</a> users: I've created a separate <code>release</code> branch that will only be updated when a new release is published. You can point your flake input at <code>?ref=release</code> and will always get a "stable" release as opposed to the current development version on the default <code>main</code> branch. I have updated the examples in readme accordingly.Enjoy 😃 <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rust</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CommandLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommandLine</a>
