i cannot for the life of my figure out how to do a nixos-rebuild with both --build-host and --target-host ... my admin machine is x86, but the build & target is aarch64 ... it should just be remotely requesting a build, but for some reason it fails with an error from a specific package about needing to build on x86... thing is, i can build it by sshing over, so why not with nixos-rebuild? #nixos

Hey, there's a #Guix #London #meetup planned for Tuesday next week:

meetup.com/guix-social/events/

Time: Tuesday 8th July at 6pm
Location: 20 Farringdon St, EC4A 4AB

Being troubled by some unmatched parenthesis? Come speak to us!

In love with #Nix / #NixOS and curious to know more about Guix? Join us!

(Please register on meetup.com or DM me as your name needs to be passed to the building reception so they can let you in.)

Released a new version of om, my command line tool for quickly (un)mounting and safely detaching disks.

There's just one visible change: the new -k / --keep 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 --keep, om will skip powering off the disk after performing all other steps.

Note to #Nix / #NixOs users: I've created a separate release branch that will only be updated when a new release is published. You can point your flake input at ?ref=release and will always get a "stable" release as opposed to the current development version on the default main branch. I have updated the examples in readme accordingly.

Enjoy 😃

Just in case it is of interest, the #Huawei #E3372 LTE USB #dongle #usbstick #cellularmodem works on a #Thinkpad #X230 under #nixos running #gnome. Details of #configurationdotnix in replies to this post. Credits: chatGPT iteratively....
Important: use http://192.168.8.1 to set SIM pin manually after the device has been shown to be recognised and modeswitched using the checks:
lsusb
nmcli
ls /dev/cdc-wdm*
lsmod | grep cdc
and importantly:
usb_modeswitch --version
returns a good output message

output of lsusb shows Huawei not 12d1:14db rather than what is was before modeswitch was successful
output of nmcli the usb cellular model is listed as an ethernet connection
gnome control panel shows the cellular connection of the usb stick as Wired Ethernet

Gave #ghostty a spin but it wasn't for me. The GTK OpenGL initialization causes a startup delay that doesn't jam with my workflow - I don't use a single terminal, I open and close terminals all the time.

The setup stays in my #nixos config though, so I can easily try it again in the future.

For #NixOS Unstable users:

We're about to stop shipping VPN plugins by default with #networkmanager.

This means you'll need to explicitly configure the ones you need via `networking.networkmanager.plugins`.

In fact, if you are relying on a VPN via #NetworkManager go and do that now to prevent any interruptions.

See this post for further details:
