#nixOS

social elephant in the roomI really tried to learn and like <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nixos</a> but I just can't. To me, the documentation is all over the place, so many moving parts and no clear overview on what does what.trying to configure your git config without home-manager, eerrr good luck with that.I am sure everything is feasible with it, but I simply do not have 6 months of my life to put into it.Will give <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> a try instead.P.S : my usual distros are debian on desktop/laptop and openbsd or debian on servers.

Niklas KorzTo sum it up, please reach out if you:- are interested in <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a>, <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> or <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> - live in the <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Mannheim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mannheim</a> or <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Heidelberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Heidelberg</a> regionand either:- can help out with recording and editing our meetup talks - can offer a somewhat regularly available venue for 20 to 35 participants (doesn't matter if it's company offices, universities, hackspaces, ...)

Niklas KorzMy next point is only partially related. The association we moved our meetup under (<a href="https://rheinneckar.social/@hackerstolz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@hackerstolz</a>) is, after its 10th anniversary, close to being dissolved, unless I can gather some people to rekindle it. This is no requirement for the continuation of our meetup, but then I'd need some kind of partnership to take its place for a stable venue in <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Mannheim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mannheim</a> or <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Heidelberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Heidelberg</a> (or multiple, be it from local associations or companies that are using or interested in <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a>, <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> or <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RustLang</a>).<a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rust</a>

Niklas KorzSome realtalk and call for help (thread): for a bit over a year, I've been somewhat regularly organizing the domestic <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> and <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> meetups in <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Mannheim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mannheim</a> and <a href="https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Heidelberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Heidelberg</a>. What started as a somewhat spontaneous collaboration of two people that went to university together quickly moved into an already established non-profit association to allow more people to participate in the organization and shape the form of our meetups. The truth is, it was and still is mostly a one man show.

Linux Is BestIn the past, I recall successfully running DistroBox and Podman with VirtualBox.However, this setup doesn’t seem to work well on NixOS. While it’s possible to get VirtualBox working with QEMU (albeit with some difficulty), the performance hit is substantial.I've improved the virtualization options.The user is guided through the choice of using DistroBox and Podman. If they select that option, they are advised to skip VirtualBox and instead use the optional "Virtualization stack: QEMU/KVM + libvirt + GUI tools," which I believe I've configured to work just as well as VirtualBox.Although, as always, feedback is welcome.<a href="https://codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/NixOS_Configuration/src/branch/main/nixos_config.txt" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/NixOS_Configuration/src/branch/main/nixos_config.txt</a><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/VirtualBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VirtualBox</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Virtualization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Virtualization</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Qemu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Qemu</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Kvm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kvm</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

KFearsTo tell the truth, I am disappointed.The Anduril incident last year was really bad. People were rightfully opposed to Anduril occupying more of the community space. It was important enough for SC candidates to be asked their opinions, and many of them rejected the idea outright, and some of them were wishy-washy on it.And yet, somehow, it all came to a point where the SC doesn't see a serious problem in Anduril receiving a seat in the main governance body.The Zulip discussion last year was focused around establishing SC, to get ultimate authority for governance, and to restore community trust. I think those goals were not achieved. SC has been very reactive on many issues in the past, and now it also makes mistakes and instead of acknowledging it, publishes dismissive responses.I don't think this is working out. It also actively reduces my trust, because I've seen many people I trust vouch for many SC members, who didn't really deliver. Another election cycle will not fix this.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Nixpkgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nixpkgs</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a>

KFearsSigh, so we've got an official SC response, here: <a href="https://discourse.nixos.org/t/statement-on-a-steering-committee-member-joining-anduril/69007" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://discourse.nixos.org/t/statement-on-a-steering-committee-member-joining-anduril/69007</a>As the response correctly points out, there are two problems here: the failure to update on CoI and the Anduril employment.CoI is a serious issue. Tom has informed the SC in advance - that's good! But SC has failed to inform the community. I'm not sure how a "living document" is relevant to that - SC provided many updates to the community via Discourse. A Discourse post would be perfectly fine here, too. The response doesn't address why the post was never made, though?For Anduril employment, though... Anduril sponsoring NixCon last year has contributed to community split. An open letter was written, and many prolific contributors (including present SC members) commented against Anduril: <a href="https://discourse.nixos.org/t/should-organizations-relating-to-the-defense-sector-being-able-to-sponsor-nixos/41252?u=kfearsoff" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://discourse.nixos.org/t/should-organizations-relating-to-the-defense-sector-being-able-to-sponsor-nixos/41252?u=kfearsoff</a>Furthermore, when running for SC, there was a question about MIC sponsorships. Many rejected them. So I don't think it's unreasonable to expect SC members to have a problem with Anduril.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nix</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Nixpkgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nixpkgs</a>

KFearsSigh, so apparently Tom Berek of Steering Committee is now working for Anduril. You know, that same Anduril that caused an open letter denouncing MIC sponsoring community events. I don't see how it's acceptable for SC members to work for Anduril, especially in the wake of the whole, you know...The failure to provide an update to his conflict of interest (and two SC members stating their personal opinions that they don't see much of an issue) is a breach of trust. This means, once again, that the community has to organize by themselves, and demand accountability from people in power.
