I have NixOS running on mine and I write everything in comments in my configuration.nix. Usually I'll write notes about why I set a certain option above the line where I do it but I also have a section at the start that describes anything to be aware of if I'm moving this configuration to another machine. For example “This assumes a drive is mounted on /mnt/backup0”

100%. This is exactly why I switched my home server over to NixOS and would struggle to go back. I used to reinstall all the time but now there really isn't any need to, since I can just look at my configuration.nix file and know everything that's installed, running and configured on my system. Whereas using any other distro I'm like WHAT ON EARTH IS RUNNING ON HERE?

This week I realised my Mastodon instance was severely out of date because I was using nix flakes and didn't autoupdate but now that's been fixed 😄

I'm currently looking to connect an NVMe SSD to a Pi 4 I have in a differences location to finally have proper 3-2-1 backups. I'm trying to find a NVMe to USB adapter that will work though.

You can host your own with Manyfold @manyfold@3dp.chat

You can use pixelfed with the same account, but to do this you will have to go onto your mastodon instance and follow a pixelfed accounts from there and they will appear in your Mastodon timeline. Here is a little explanation of the "log in with Mastodon" option.

Nice config you've got there and welcome to NixOS!

For me the biggest speedup in my workflow was not through actually cutting down on the build time but rather using cargo watch. With cargo watch -x run, it automatically rebuilds and runs on any change so by the time I switch to the terminal it's almost completely ready.

Блин с беконом, я пеку с беконом

Блин с беконом, обязательно с беконом

Блин с беконом, вот я так делаю

Блин с беконоооом!

"Блин" in Russian is something that is more similar to a crêpe than what we'd call a pancake in English. But is often used as a translation for pancake anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blini

Very rarely, but if it's a specific enough question that I've actually researched before I usually get a good response.

I saw this and thought "How is this even possible? No way you run an SSH server from initramfs…" Turns out that's exactly how you do it, I'll be trying this out thank you!
