My NixOS/Nix Journey
Posted on Apr 15 2025 under nix, self-hosting
I operate computers and I enjoy it. However, I operate a lot of computers, both as an occupation and in my personal life. As I operate computers, I’m often thinking about ways to improve the process of how I operate computers. This fundamental drive in me often pushes me to learn new things, experiment or find different approaches to common problems. I always try to think that perhaps what I have now is a local maximum worth pushing past, especially since, if I play my cards right, I can always revert back to whatever setup I had previously - computers are neat that way.
Learn Flakes the Fun Way
Posted on Jul 8 2024 under nix
This post is a Flake-based rewrite of Learn Nix the Fun Way on fzakaria.com. I really enjoyed the content of the post and wanted to write it as a Nix user who is just using and prefers Flakes. It does add a few extra steps and complexity, but I think it’s still valuable and perhaps reveals a bit more about Nix and why it’s pretty fantastic. I also include a few neat things that are more Flake-specific at the end.
But yes, it’s basically plagiarism.
