  • The future of software is Nix

    Jump

  • Nix is my favorite package manager on MacOs - Dreams of Autonomy

    Jump

  • anything I tried getting from their repos was always way further behind the mac OS homebrew or Debian apt versions.

    Nixpkgs are the most up to date of any package respiratory source

    It is likely that you were using the current 'stable' channel that does not have the very latest packages. The 'unstable' channel does have the very latest packages and is what I think most people use.

    nixOS is really slick in concept, but has a steep learning curve to get it properly customized as a daily driver. The learned skills don’t really translate outside the nix realm either, so I decided it was too much effort for my use case. I love this concept as a way to build reproducable servers or workstations tho, so I’ll def be playing with it again.

    I totally agree, I wish it was easier to learn.

  • What are your favorite statically typed, compiled, memory safe programming languages?

  • uv IS the Future of Python Packaging 🐍📦

    Jump

  • Putting aside the speed uv has a bunch of features that usually require 2-4 separate tools. These tools are very popular but not very well liked. The fact these tools are so popular proves that pip is not sufficient for many use cases. Other languages have a single tool (e.g. cargo) that are very well liked.

  • ELI5 Using python virtual environment in docker container.

    Jump

  • If you do multi stage builds (example here) it is slightly easier to use venvs.

    If you use the global environment you need to hardcode the path to global packages. This path can change when base images are upgraded.

  • ELI5 Using python virtual environment in docker container.

    Jump

  • Sure, but in the case where you upgrade python and it affects python packages it would affect global packages and a venv in the same way.

  • ELI5 Using python virtual environment in docker container.

    Jump

  • upgrading your base image won’t affect your python packages

    Surely if upgrading python will affect your global python packages it will also affect your venv python packages?

    you can use multi stage builds to create drastically smaller final images

    This can also be done without using venv's, you just need to copy them to the location where global packages are installed.

  • new display arrived, what can I do with the old one?

    Jump

  • I'm not really against it if there is a demand and people want to buy/sell/trade here. If buy/sell/trade gets too much we could restrict it to a sticky thread.

    It might be easier for people to find buyers/sellers on the framework forum category that @narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee pointed out though.

  • there's a new "zen" Firefox fork on the block focused on theming and has some features from Edge, all licensed under MPL

    Jump

  • He is a front end dev/engineer and he mainly talks about the UI (which is his expertise).

  • uv: Unified Python packaging

    Jump

  • I don't think they have anything to do with each other, it looks like prefix.dev uses conda packages.

  • uv: Unified Python packaging

    Jump

  • Yeah it is, eventually they want UV to have feature parity with rye and rye will basically just be a pointer to UV

  • uv: Unified Python packaging

    Jump

  • Early on uv was only trying to replace pip. This latest update is a big step towards becoming a poetry (and pyenv/pipx) replacement too.

  • Struggling to set up gnome boxes

    Jump

  • It worked for me with just: virtualisation.libvirtd.enable = true; in the configuration.nix.

  • Nix Release 2.24

    Jump

  • Stable channels provide conservative updates for fixing bugs and security vulnerabilities, but do not receive major updates after initial release.

    If you want up to date packages then use the unstable channel.

  • Nix Release 2.24

    Jump

  • Nix has the most unique packages and the most up to date packages of any Linux software repository. It has substantially more fresh packages than Arch or Alpine (which you say does a better job in a separate comment).

  • Also you can comb your hair with an electric comb for 10 days

  • Sell us on your favorite exotic/niche distro

    Jump

  • Yeah I agree, I am sure they are missing some obscure stuff. But in practise it has everything that I use and there has been no need for me to touch flatpak/appimage/snap
