Michael Stapelberg 🐧🐹😺<p>After switching to <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a> on my desktop PC, it took me a while to figure out why CUPS wouldn’t correctly auto-discover AirPrint compatible printers despite following <a href="https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Printing#Enable_autodiscovery_of_network_printers" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Printing#E</span><span class="invisible">nable_autodiscovery_of_network_printers</span></a> (see first screenshot: rejecting jobs, connection /dev/null).</p><p>Turns out I needed to explicitly list cups-filters and cups-browsed in the services.printing.drivers option to wire up all the needed cups backends! </p><p>Afterwards, printers just show up and work after powering on! ✨</p><p>(1/2)</p>
Karl Voit :emacs: :orgmode:<p>During the last 2 years with <a href="https://graz.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a>, I've mentioned multiple times that my system performance is very poor on my backup notebook: Lenovo <a href="https://graz.social/tags/X260" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X260</span></a> with a 2y old crucial 2TB SATA SSD BX500 2.5"</p><p>After setting it up with Debian 13 on the 2TB SSD as well as on the original 250GB SSD, I have to say that the 2TB SSD seems to be the culprit: the system behaves very weird with sluggish waiting/resume/..., system updates take hours instead of minutes, ...</p><p>So it wasn't NixOS, but the 2TB SATA SSD. 😔 </p><p>However, I'm glad to get rid of NixOS step by step anyway for other reasons, being able to run Python scripts again being the most important to me. (Please don't give me any Nix-python advice anymore, I've spent too many days on that issue without a sustainable fix.)</p><p><a href="https://graz.social/tags/ThinkpadX260" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkpadX260</span></a></p>

Many people started using NixOS because of hype. While others use Nix/NixOS because it solves real problems for them. Many consider it the only "sane" way to manage their system(s), do dev work etc. (even if they don't like some things about it for technical and non-technical reasons).</p><p><a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nix</span></a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a></p>
thelinuxcast<p>Spent the evening scripting my own version of <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a> Home Manager. I don't care for the complexity of HM when all I really want is to bring my dotfiles with me when I reinstall NixOS.</p><p>The Nix bros will tell you this is possible, and even easy, but then they'll all give you different ways of doing it. Too complex for a simple problem.</p>

Home Manager News<p>The zsh module has been refactored to improve path handling. Previously, path resolution was inconsistent and relied on hardcoded `$HOME` references. The module has been restructured to use dedicated path handling functions that properly handle both absolute and relative paths while maintaining consistent behavior. As part of this refactoring, the use of relative paths has been deprecated. Users are encouraged to use absolute paths for more predictable path resolution.<br /><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NixOS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nix</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HomeManager</span></a></p>

David<p>I am running a vps (wireguard ipv4 vpn tunnel), two rpis for dns and a ubuntu vm on proxmox as my homeserver. I am thinking about moving all of these to nixos for obvious reasons (declarative config stored in repo, etc.) Anyone with a similar already working setup? Any suggestions/articles you can recommend? Currently basically all is deployed via docker. Would you recommend switching to the nix packages? <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nixos</span></a></p>
