Looks amazing, especially adaptive Firefox and GTK.

Another OCaml connoisseur (at least semi-forced, as it looks like a university exercise).

Looks interesting, but I would’ve really liked some gameplay. From what’s being shown here and on gematsu it somehow looks like a mixture between Observer and Bioshock (only universe, not really gameplay).

Not sure where that commenter is from, but it’s the case for Germany. Pretty useful to compare

Pretty much, yes. Although most of the guides install nix via curl. You can find the recommended installation procedure on the official nix website.

What I’m right now also realizing is that i switched things up. nix-shell -p curl creates a shell with the curl command temporarily available. If you exit this shell it’s gone. I use this all the time if if i don’t want to pollute my system with programs I only use once. If you want to permanently install something you have to use nix-env -iA nixpkgs.curl. But don’t take my words for granted, since I have never tested this on a non-nixos machine.

Note: You can also see how to install something by clicking on the package title in the nixpkgs repo.

Nixpkgs can be used without knowing anything about nix. You can install almost anything by just running e.g.:

nix-shell -p cowsay

The requirement for that is the nix package manager but that should be easy to install. But yeah getting into Nixos with flakes and all that stuff can be hard.

That’s probably the best Unixporn I’ve seen on Lemmy

Lidarr + Navidrome works flawlessly for me. Navidrome also fetches data from LastFM, such as tending songs and artist info

Right now Debian, but I’ll migrate to NixOS pretty soon since it’s already running on all of my machines except this server.

I followed this guide from VimJoyer and it works like a charm. Have been using this approach for quite a while now. It just uses raw nix with homemanager

Mobilism probably

You can also do it with the normal settings menu (about:preferences). The setting is called “Enable Firefox Sync” under the tab “LibreWolf”. Might be a bit easier this way.

You can reenable that in the settings, but it’s off by default. I use it everyday
