It does not require root, user namespaces support or disabling SELinux, but it relies on proot and other hacks instead. It uses a fork of Termux-the-terminal-emulator app, but has no relation to Termux-the-distro.

For those who prefer to have a reference or need assistance troubleshooting, the accompanying GitHub repository, nix-intro-examples, includes the full project and all intermediate steps, captured through commits.

 

While the OP video didn't merit posting, I think the resulting comment thread is worth sharing to join the discussion.

 

What other approaches do folks use to deterministically customize Linux?

Another video on PPS from a charging device perspective:

I'll say the newer up and coming standard AVS (Adjusted Voltage Supply) for support with Extended Power Range looks promising, if not a little concerning in regards to cable quality hazards.

Perhaps one could use something like this using Android's Virtualization Framework in the meantime:

Looks like they introduce the use Traefik with NixOS here:

How does Traefik compare to a reverse proxy like Caddy?

Yeah, the centralization of public Internet infrastructure around Cloud flare has been concerning, not only as a single point of failure but also in terms of consolidation of trust.

As a prior student workout a public IP deep behind several NATs, with little funds for self hosting hobbies, these kinds of tunnel services were a handy gateway in getting started.

Although, I hope ISP adoption of IPv6 or cheaper bandwidth quotas for VPS providers help compete on this front for self hosting networking.

Too bad you have to rely on cloudflare to then manage your domain to utilize this feature, like if it's just a demo for a one off project.

I'm waiting on support for inserting PDF figures, the most common format my tools export.

TDIL about nix-ld , this is so cool! Think I'll try this out soon:

I've been straddling between NixOS and a Debian derivative for a while recently. Using nix, I really enjoy managing my system using declarative code, like I would for any other software infrastructure.

Although, for work, I still resort back to Debian or Ubuntu when it comes to collaborating with existing FOSS communities around robotic software or medical imaging, as those respective domains are heavily ingrained/invested into the Debian release and package distribution.

So it's been a challenge to migrate anything other than my personal computing to NixOS. However I do appreciate the easy access to latest version releases of packages, kernels, and drivers. Being able to patch and document the idiosyncrasies of my hardware using declarative configs and revision control has been so helpful and solving a bug once and never forgetting how to reproduce the fix later on.

Another benefit is being able to explore public repositories for examples of how other users may be installing the same types of modules or software features I'm looking to setup, or solve a similar issue. It's one thing to read the stack overflow answer about how to edit an arcane etc config for an anonymous package version, but it's another to be able to read the commit history of hundreds of other nix users and PRs from nixpkgs maintainers.


My flake config is still rather simplistic, and synchronizing two hosts between two branches. I did appreciate the reference repo linked by the author as an example for modular host and user config.

https://github.com/jnsgruk/nixos-config

Any suggested resources or templates on that front? I.e. structuring and modularizing NicOS flake configs for multiple hosts for overlapping and non overlapping use cases? For example, I've just gotten into how to overlay nixpkgs PRs and explore dev shells.

For the faint of heart, such vicarious pain may require theatrical intermission(s).

Yeah, any details published so far have been rather vague. I like the prospect of writing my backend UI logic in a memory safe language, but that falls short of benefiting from doing so end to end.

Supposedly Qt would be in a decent position to use their own static analysis and testing frameworks for hardening such bridge interfaces, but using a memory safe system programming language for everything would be ideal. Are there any Rust based UI projects that are looking at ISO certification to ease integration as a Software of Unknown Pedigree?

On top of that, it'd be nice for the Bluetooth spec to roll out a higher bitrate version of HFP, as it's common 16 kHz monaural configuration is awful when listening to multimedia while on video calls, like for remote watch parties or just listening to music or playing video games while hanging out on discord. I ended up just buying a USB to TRRS adapter with pass through Power Delivery in order to use my Android device with proper AV quality.

Could you explain a little more on that? Just curious.
