    So I’ve only been using nix about a year and only used flakes. I use in two ways.

    First, I have my main nix flake. Most everything is controlled from that. It has several outputs from full blown nixos builds per host or some home manager builds for non-nixos systems.

    Third-party flakes I use as inputs to my own flake then use the override system to inject them into nixpkgs. Then I just install whatever like normal from nixpkgs. I can either override an existing pkg (neovim nightly replaces regular neovim for me), or you can just add as a new package to nixpkgs by using a different attribute name.

    Second way is for projects with their own repo. I’ll add a project flake that has a devshell with direnv so as soon as I enter that directory it sets up a sort of virtual environment just for that project. You can add outputs to it so others can use as a third-party flake.

    My main starting point was https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-config for this design.





  • You really want Thread over Matter

    Do you mean over WiFi? Matter and Thread don’t have overlapping functionality. In the OSI model, Matter is like layers 6-7, Thread covers 3-5, and 802.15.4 is 1-2 (MACPHY).

    Matter also works over Ethernet and WiFi.

    ZigBee is like 3-7 also using 802.15.4.

    Z-Wave is also like 3-7 with some sub-GHz MACPHY.

    For Matter, low power devices and sleepy devices should use Thread to optimally conserve battery.

    Ethernet > WiFi unless wireless is needed for other use cases like cameras, media boxes, dedicated power, etc.

    Bluetooth (low energy) last I checked is only supported for commissioning a device. It does use the Matter protocol, and I’ve blinked some lights on test hardware over BLE, but it wasn’t officially supported.



  • What is the point of being dismissive of parent’s concerns and straight up misrepresenting what they said in the last “quote”?

    I’m in favor of making the law gender neutral, and quickly without having answers to all these questions.

    Doesn’t mean there won’t be unintended consequences that aren’t worth discussing to get ahead of them.

    My gut reaction is if its legal in public does that make it legal in the media? Will publishers and advertisers use this to further objectify women? Even though I’m asking these questions, I’m 100% in favor of gender neutral laws for media and advertisements.

    My off the cuff and likely unrealistic solution that has nothing to do with gender is to just ban most forms of advertising out right. This includes never requiring users to make the “choice” to agree to any ads in the terms of services in order to access goods and services (e.g., gas pumps, accessing a bank account, etc.).






  • I have no empathy for most politicians or the harm they have done out of greed.

    I’m not in favor of a single individual being judge, jury, and executioner.

    Our system for dealing with corruption is insufficient and infected by the corrupt.

    Other than some Ghandi-level mass nonviolent resistance, one is likely to just end up on the streets (as designed by the corrupt in question), or the way things are going, soon a wall.

    It sucks…
