    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.





  • This shit pisses me off. Fix our damn healthcare system for fuck sakes.

    We don’t fund the mental health services needed.

    We fuck over chronic pain patients treating them like addicts.

    Many are disabled on both sides. We expect them to fill out paper work with every “I” dotted and “T” crossed. You screw up once? Now you start over. Many places that could offer real help just won’t take state aide because they take forever to pay.

    If you do have a job, even below the poverty line but just enough to have insurance, welcome to ridiculous copays and deductibles.

    It pains me when I’ve seen someone making progress with mental or physical therapy as a path to coping but fall due to one paperwork or appointment mistake withdrawing those services without a safety net.

    They won’t treat the root cause for many by just going single payer and de-privatizing health care. Need something to campaign on to funnel more cash to our military complex.



  • 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…
