Not really surprising though I guess, its the corporate way of doing things.
You do something shady, get called out, apologize in an hand wavy, noncommittal kind of way, promise to do better, and then instead of doing anything wait until it blows over and quietly bring the thing back.
It's really kind of a classic.

hmm...transmission...403 forbidden

127.0.0.1:9091

  services.transmission = {
    enable = true;
    package = pkgs.transmission_4;
    openFirewall = true;
    openPeerPorts = true;
    openRPCPort = true;
    settings = {
      rpc-bind-address = "0.0.0.0";
    };
  };

hmmm....

#nixos :NixOS:

Any #NixOS users building a custom #kernel?

The #Linux kernel is crazy huge, I would like to start tweaking my system by using a custom kernel

- longterm 6.12 as base (less hassle, more stable)
- intel only (no amd, nvidia, wifi card drivers etc)
- modern-ish hardware only (no obscure old keyboard drivers etc)
- O3 optimizations (I think they generally make sense on an i7-11th gen)

Do you got good resources to start with this?

#NixOS / #Nixpkgs #Matrix server ‘breaks’ again? Why are we using this bloated protocol anyhow? These rooms have migrated several times, the docs never stay up-to-date, & we waste a lot of resources (storage, compute, RAM) to run this eventual-consistency protocol. But it constantly breaks? Then why f💀cking use it? & Why did it move to Matrix to begin with?

While I have beefs with DroneBL blocking residential IPs & being used by both Libera.Chat & OFTC, the most popular #IRC networks for software, NixOS / Nixpkgs should have stayed on IRC… or if they want the network to be decentralized & with more chat features, it should have #XMPP. Matrix doesn’t give you much but headaches. The only positive thing I have heard from anyone is that it’s nice to have a FOSS option instead of using Discord, but those 2 mature protocols were already doing that.

@arda @f @ssg I've been thinking of what are the best and easiest ways of getting people into a #tech #cooperative. That is, self host as a local community.

#Fediversity shows one such way, via #NixOS. In this #NixFlake we see an automated setup for a set of services, like #Mastodon, #Peertube and #Pixelfed.

You basically fork this, modify its variables and run it on your server and you should have your own platforms up and running.

For many, overlays, and fixed-point functions as underlying concept, are hard to gasp in #Nix.

I found the documentation to be actually quite good in this case, checkout the function docs of fix and extends (and read in this order). Both have great examples/steps that guide you through, which was really helpful to me.

noogle.devlib.fix - Nix function referencefix f computes the fixed point of the given function f. In other words, the return value is x in x = f x.
