@nprofile…h7f2 Yes. I am in a permanent flap about the single source of truth & distributed repos thing. I think there needs to be an independent channel of communication about the git status of any code obtained from any repo at all to notify if the repo you are seeing is behind the SSOT. I mean a separate infrastructure that is not down just because the access to the SSOT repo is down. Redundant git status channels are needed in my view, including all known peer to peer TCP alternatives. Just ideas.

With the prolonged attack on #Canonical servers still affecting updates, I’ve been wondering whether a system like #radicle could maybe help as a secondary mirror and reduce the impact of outages or attacks. I mirror my Codeberg repo to a Radicle seed node to cope with #Codeberg outages. That does not mean I can push when Codeberg is down. The single-source-of-truth issue is still unclear to me, but downloading a pre-attack version should be possible. Pushing new work during an attack is tricky.

I am trying to update my #nixos flake and discover that #x11 is not supported by the latest #gnome but I also know that some of my hardware (#HPelitedesk800 , VM machines running xrdp and x11spice) fails to show correct windows under #wayland so this is very un-linuxy and I feel like a sort of macos hardware obsolescence vibe ... Or is gnome now just "bloatware" and #Xfce the new way forward here for the good old tech?

If someone says they cannot then who for pity's sake is in charge? The whole concept of a court preventing it under any treaty is a joke. In whose interest is the court acting? The other signatories of the treaty? Who is the injured party? I am no lawyer but this is Brexit gold dust.

@nprofile…eew3 @nprofile…d9j4 Great explanation. A patent is more appropriate than copyright (which as the link says does not work when LLM has done the job) because then re-coding in other forms is not going to change the infringement. If the code's technical purpose is patented then the owners of the patent can prevent those who seek to use it in a non-permissive manner from bringing it to market and let those who follow the copyleft philosophy use it for free. Of course patenting each step is too expensive.

@nprofile…x5jw @nprofile…rydd Well I really got into a spin. When doing the above where you
1. pull a new flake down into a directory with a new name /flake-new
2. rename the old /flake directory /flake-old
3. rename /flake-new as /flake
4. try nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<machine_name>
caused the rebuild command to bug. It just kept giving me the old generation... full report here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/branch/main/docs/nixos-rebuild-switch-bug.md #nixos #rebuild #flake #git #generations (warning, AI Claude Code was used)

Thanks I think you have solved it.
1. git clone repo → local_machine/flake-new
2. Create local_machine branch from repo main
3. Copy local_machine/flake flake features or files from local_machine/flake into a local_machine/flake-new
4. Commit and push local_machine branch to repo
5. Merge branch on repo
6. Rename local_machine/flake → flake-old, and rename local_machine/flake-new → flake
7. Future pushes from local_machine/flake now share Codeberg's history

Any tips and tricks for using #git for #nix #nixos #flakes : when the "mother flake" flake lives on a public repo & is set up to provide multiple #configurations for different machines built using:
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<machine_name>
I dug myself into a hole by copying the files from the mother flake repo to set up a new machine and the flake on my new machine has diverged & cannot be merged back into the mother flake repo because I did not *clone* it down so has no common git history

@nprofile…mu45 @nprofile…x9tq Indeed. This is the cornerstone of affordable housing. It is a huge achievement. And works. Examples are plenty https://baugenossenschaft.info/wohnungsbaugenossenschaften-bayern/
and they are run professionally and competently and socially conscientiously. Amazing. But these are not owned by the tenants (which is fine). Also they tend to have very large blocks (efficient) and they tend to become "socially homogeneous" which means that there is no geographical mixing between "different income categories".

@nprofile…yj83 @nprofile…x9tq In the UK there has been no productivity increase in a generation. In Germany salaries are not adjusted to inflation of the most important thing : property prices, because 50% of people rent on long rental contracts that are not index linked. All we have is devaluation of cash. The state and its allied apparatuses carry out a massive statistical fiscal prestidigitation. Well that is what I see. The truth might be far off

@nprofile…yj83 @nprofile…x9tq And.... house prices seem to go up faster than income not because they are a bubble but because the amount of extra money put into circulation to drive inflation results in a halving of the value of cash every 10 years ish... and houses are just an opt-out from using cash as an asset when the powers that be change the value of the money after you earn it. House price inflation is just a measure of the devaluation of your currency, not the root cause of poverty.

@nprofile…yj83 @nprofile…x9tq While people are not able to vote for policies that give me the same take-home return on my 100 euros invested in a normal bank as someone would get who gambles with billions and does not need the money in the first place, society has failed to make use of capitalism's (math's) gift of compound interest. Renting is the identical problem. It takes you out of the game and causes the entrenched poverty over generations that the rent reform seeks to ameliorate.

2026-03-27 09:31:18 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…yj83 @nprofile…x9tq Interesting. The interest rate for safe, immediately available small sums of money is low & never above the government-calculated inflation number. So the normal person loses their assets in real terms if they rent & "save" cash. They cannot gain from capitalism. The importance of owning property is not profiting from price booms, but that the value of houses keeps in step with the true measure of inflation: the cost of your most important cost point i.e. accommodation.

@nprofile…x9tq My thesis is that DE has absolutely no free market at all worth speaking if. But the average quality of life is vastly higher than the UK on all fronts. The UK and US live of hope and aspirations of the working person....which are dashed... and DE just makes the working person content enough that the true wealth stays with the usual suspects. A sort of social symbiosis.

2026-03-27 07:31:29 UTC

@nprofile…x9tq This is what certain ladies made of ferrous elements understood to the core and why the UK has elements of fairness in its laissez-faire system. In DE you only ever buy one house/flat for life. There is no way into the market. There is no market. It is like not being allowed to save with interest. You are forced to rent: there simply are no cheap flats to get on the ladder because they are all uniformly in top quality blocks due to the legal requirements & actions of bulk investors.

2026-03-27 07:24:36 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…x9tq DE regulates wages in the public sector by law so there is no higher pay if you work in a shortage profession. Jobs are not advertised with a salary offered. They ask you what you want to earn & take you if you under sell yourself. The higher skilled will be skipped if they try to maximise their income & get under-cut. There is absolutely zero mobility between professions. So what happens: your income is static & low & you have to rent: you never ever gain assets from working.

2026-03-27 07:13:05 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…x9tq The rules in DE are protective of tenants & renting life-long is not a state of limbo nor "second class lifestyle". The law even sets limits on the rent according to rules like how high the tiles go in the bathroom. Law is so strict that the housing stock is tip top because tenants can demand & get repairs. It is a huge business managing & maintaining rental properties. The rub: your pension fund buys flats & you rent them back. You lose all your capital. Zero wealth gain for you!

For each host, recovery must restore not just configuration, but a compatible pair:
(flake revision, persist snapshot)
The trusted recovery unit is therefore not “latest flake” alone, but a
known-compatible pairing of system definition and persisted state.

Recovery becomes:
Recreate storage
Restore /persist
Identify its version
Use matching flake commit
Rebuild
So the system = a coherent pairing of config + state
Is there a standard way people handle this in production?

2026-03-25 19:27:11 UTC

- reply

5/6
Possible approach:
Version /persist (e.g. Git, selectively)
On each rebuild:
Record flake commit
Commit persist state
Maintain mapping: → flake commit ↔ persist commit

Disaster recovery isn’t just “rebuild the flake”
It’s restoring a known-good pair
So we need to track:
→ flake revision ↔ persist state compatibility

2026-03-25 19:26:15 UTC

3/6
Key tension:
NixOS generations = reproducible system state
/persist = survives outside that model
Flake = versioned (Git commit)
So a working system is actually a pair:
→ (flake commit, persist state)

2026-03-25 19:25:50 UTC

- reply

2/6
So the real workflow is:
Bootstrap (ISO or nix-infect)
Create storage (manually/script)
Apply flake
System activates and redirects state into /persist

2026-03-25 19:25:10 UTC

1/6
I’ve been thinking through disaster recovery with #NixOS #flakes, impermanence, and #ZFS.
A flake defines a system declaratively, but assumes storage (e.g. ZFS pools) and persisted data (e.g. /persist) already exist. Flakes don’t create storage—they only configure it. Right?

@nprofile…g2t7 Well get this. Even if you own a flat you might not be allowed to rent it out to short term tenants e.g. for a week or so ... so how is that property justice? If the safety regulations are kept and tax paid why does the state seek to determine what you can do with your property. There are so many biased laws that benefit corporations over small people.

I wanted to have a pc with necessary school links access but zero anything else... In the past the dependent domains problem has stopped me setting this up though. I think schools when setting homework should be obliged to issue the whitelist for that task. I think with an AI tool using #rodney one might be able to crawl the dependent domains and make a whitelist fast ??

How can I get an external computer PSU running on a different computer A to be switched on and off by a cron job, or similar, on a computer B? The use case is performing a backup of B to A and then leaving the computer A air-gapped.

@nprofile…qqrn This is really inspiring. 💪 Has so many groovy parts. I try to use a single flake for all machines but am not sure how your setup really does its thing. More details would be great incl. use case. Are you doing local AI on it?

Why will the plug on the right (the one with wire labled P3) not let itself be removed? It seems to be stuck but the sockets and SATA plugs match, right? Any tips on why this is odd?

If you call #o2 DE on a Sunday you spend 10 minutes talking to a machine that does not understand "Ja". The. it puts you through to a person except the message then says we are closed. You cannot even BEGIN to imagine how utterly diabolically bad customer service is even when automated.

@nprofile…pa6j Why not go and ask the audience for travel donations on the way out? Or pass round a hat during the talk? Or flash up a bank account number? Seems a terrible shame not to go. But surely the travel time is what costs? Or ask the conference to have a ride share site? Or rent a mule? Or do it via video link? Or charge them more for the talk and pay for travel that way?

If #nixos had a way of estimating to within one order of magnitude the duration of a build process it would help somewhat with the decision to do the washing up or check again after a night's sleep.
