@amatrelan For the beginning it might be a bit complex to build such a configuration, but nix(os) is such a powerful once you got the fundamentals. I use nixos in combination with home-manager, on 4 nixos machines and some other environments. If you want to dig in, have a look at my github page.
The documentation is still the biggest flaw.. It's very hard to get started and build packages from scratch for the first time. But it's definitely worth it :) -
@RantSomeWhere Awesome, yeah check it out :D
You can have a look at my dwm config if you like, maybe it can give you a starting point :)

@RantSomeWhere You heard of it before? :D
-
Oh, sorry :D I misread the question.. To be clear, this is my most successful one 🙈
-
NixOS + DWM, for like 3 years now. Maybe testing i3 in the future :)
-
NixOS at home
Ubuntu and CentOS at work -
Or just use a terminal multiplexer like tmux or screen.. It's much more flexible than working with tabs, but these are just my 2 cents
-
@Root ah, that seems totally reasonable and legit.. :D #facepalm
-
But why did he create so many in the first place? :D
-
@jespersh but why would anyone want this? :D
-
@refi64 What have you done to break NixOS? In the main release branches I had never any issues..
-
@Root Never heard of it, can not answer that..
-
*cough* https://nixos.org/nix *cough* solves all these dependency problems like a magic unicorn :D
no for real, its a declarative package manager, usable on every distro in addition to the native one. -
If you have the time and motivation, I can recommend checking out NixOS ( https://nixos.org ). It's different in how it manages the system, providing reproducable, reliable and declarative configuration of your system.
-
It's time for goto's! 😂
-
You don't need tabs if you use a terminal multiplexer like tmux, check it out, it's really worth it!
-
Do you use an automatic provisioning tool like puppet or chef?
-
Why are you so amazed of clojure? I have never used it, but I'm looking forward into learning a functional language. What are the benefits of that language compared to other functional ones?
Would like to hear your opinion :) -
I will throw my 2 cents in: Try NixOS!
I've read some comments about writing a script to setup the system or change the default python version. If you take NixOS, which I am using since 2 years I think for my desktops and servers, you have one configuration fike for your whole system. You can rollback to each version of your system.
I can really recommend it, it has a very friendly community. And PRs to the official package and system config repository are usually merged in a few hours. -
Do you really have a use case, so that you need 6 monitors? Sounds a bit too much for my opinion :D
-
Ever heard of https://github.com/zsh-users/... ?
I can really recommend that -
how did watching the punisher improve your dev skills? 🧐
-
Is @dfox okay with that? AFAIK, he only gives the endpoints on demand..
BTW, looks pretty cool! -
If you are interested in reproducibility and want to forget dependency conflicts, I can highly suggest NixOS or at least the Nix package manager to use on top of every distro
-
Thats why I use Nix ;)
https://nixos.org/nix/ -
Have you ever heard of raml ( https://raml.org/ )?
There are many tools to convert raml to markdown or html pages -
@lotd the biggest benefits are for me the functional approach to system management, rollbacks have never been so easy, and you will never have any version conflicts of parallel installed versions of the same program.
-
@Linux i'm just trying to learn more about the linux world, i will see if its really never ending :D
-
@kalippu did you execute composer update?
and i think a simple "phpunit" should work -
hey, i'm very interested in this kind of project! i can't really tell, how much time i have to invest in the project, but i'd love to contribute!
some pieces of information about me: 5 years experience in php development, i'm using phpunit/phpmd/phpcs in every project and i'm very concerned about code quality.
would love to hear from you!
