i understand my nixos configuration

I use Librewolf with a slightly edited Cascade CSS theme, plus the Catppuccin color palette. Works great and looks nice.

i’ll try that, although im not sure what options my uefi (asrock) has so i should probably search it up.

edit: thanks! it works, the option was under Advanced -> Onboard Devices or Onboard Configuration, something like that (though pavu control crashed a bit but maybe im just not familiar with having multiple audio devices)

puh-wuh-duh

NixOS is very good. It’s not easy, but it is powerful.

my front audio ports don’t work and i have no idea if it’s a hardware or software issue so i just don’t bother with them

edit: fixed it by changing front port audio mode from HD audio to ac97 in bios settings

i’m on NixOS

…and I’ve been on NixOS for mount stupid, valley of despair and, perhaps, the plateau of sustainability

Vim -> Helix

me turning off the power supply: (i didn’t have anything open so hopefully it’s fine…)

Somehow it never broke (1.5 years of usage). the reason i installed nix was because arch worked but felt too messy, full of random systemd services i made and put in random places

i was happy with Arch on my server.

then, i installed NixOS on it.

update: i’ve set it up to a usable state, it’s a minecraft server

nix shell nixpkgs#neofetch if you’re feeling experimental

Actual reality:

control+shift+c control+shift+v

NixOS, all packages are in /nix/store/, where each package had its own folder (simplified because there’s the hashing stuff but idk how to explain that)

This allows you to have multiple versions of the same package, on the same system, for example.

Librewolf, with the Cascade CSS theme. I used to use Zen Browser but honestly I don’t really like vertical tabs that much.

block ads, maybe allow blocking annoying cookie banners and maybe allow good keyboard navigation.

those are/could be browsing extensions. i don’t see why the browser should integrate ad blocking when it could just be an extension (that could be installed by default, like how librewolf has ublock origin installed by default).

semantic navigation (jump around the AST directly with simple keybindings).

just searched up abstract syntax tree in helix, and i learned about syntax aware motions. how had i never heard of them before? they look very useful! thanks for mentioning that

things i use:

• gitui . terminal UI for git (like lazygit)

• helix . modal text editor similar to vim, but with less configuration required

• eza . basically ls but with some more features
