Nix can build you a bit-to-bit exact environment for your app. It is a superior environment, but is hard to use in the beginning and users can feel snobby sometimes. It is awesome, but YMMV.

It was just merged to NixOS. Should be on unstable in a few days…
Did they get all the MM1 levels somewhere? There are some true classics that would be really sad to lose…
It was great to watch all these runs on twitch. Now if Nintendo would just release an open source version of the server and all the content people have created…
You can also very easily run the bridges yourself if you don’t trust them. I do so in my homelab, it was 10 minutes of work setting it all up. Super stable, and e2e from my side.
For me their value proposition is their new beta android app which is the best Android matrix client, and their quite fast matrix server. That might change in the future when conduit is fast enough…
thab’s been trying to beat “The Last Dance” for a few days already, it’s really fascinating to watch. And even barb finished one level, then said “fuck this garbage” and spent the next days finishing Paper Mario and complaining how boring it is…
It’s been a few good weeks on Twitch…
They finally accepted the web as the platform after all these years…
This is my nix config for our brother scanner. Just run any Linux scanner utility and it just works:

Yes. We’ve had one Brother for ten years now. Still prints and scans just fine :D
The mandatory comment to any printer discussion. Buy a brother laser. Nothing else. Preferably used.

I’ve been digging into the settings of this printer and, sadly the only send it can do is as a fax… It’s the entry model, been serving us for years very nicely. It even connects to the internet, but misses features such as email, smb or ftp. For me this looks like something an open source firmware could fix. It has enough processing power to possibly run a lightweight Linux distribution, so installing one that would enable modern communication protocols doesn’t seem impossible.
This was it for me now, installed paperless-xng, set it up to scan my email folders, copied all random PDFs from my “organized” tax folder and scanned the rest.
Too bad I just happen to have that Brother printer/scanner without SMB or FTP support. So I need to go through the process of scanning on my computer first, then uploading.
Of course. My setup now is a Proxmox server + a NAS. What I’m planning to do is to install a service for this to Proxmox, then have the files synced over NFS to the NAS, which then backs them up every night to Backblaze. And of course I need to have the paper copies too, but to be able to search, tag and archive the documents is great when you need to remember a thing X that was mentioned in a paper I got back in 2014.
It just doesn’t feel right to have multiple postgres databases running, if every other service uses the one in the network. Having already monitoring, disk space and backups set…
Installed it because of this thread to my homelab today. I never really managed my phone images in any way, never uploaded them anywhere. This was the first time. About 5 gigabytes of images and videos were synced to my NAS in a few minutes, now I can search them and all that. It’s a pretty cool setup, although the installation is a bit tricky if you don’t go to the path they give you. I run a Postgres server in Proxmox, and you have to install just the right version of pgvecto.rs for the system to work.
Browsing the issues I was able to figure out what went wrong, and after downgrading, no issues.

It creates a set of symlinks so every program sees exactly the dependencies it needs.

You can also create a container:

Or you can create reproducible docker containers with nix:

The secret sauce with nix is reproducibility. If it builds once, it will continue building exactly like that forever. Bit by bit.
