i wish i watched this before bruteforcing essentially the first half of the video by trial and error! thanks for an excellent overview

[@ranuwp]

I don't know why but my previous comment is not showing please check my question in the comment filter

[@parliamentbomer3124]

first

[@richardbennett4365]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you, too! You are awesome. This is the perfect present. It's just what I was needing help with to get that one special stylistic set 08 for iosevka fixed font. Now, I can do it. I understand what to do now. I love the way you teach. You see, I am a professor so I can appreciate different styles of teaching, and your style fits well with mine. So, thanks again for all you do here.

How to like video twice?

I just got NixOs installed on a 13 year old system, a Christmas Day miracle and I am excited to be off on this journey! Thanks for all the videos, they are a big help and without them I do not know I would have got started. 🤯

[@Resursator]

2:00 I've made an input for a wallpaper like this, and it works, but there is something wrong about it: after every update of the system it creates a new package, containing this image. Is there a way to prevent this behaviour? For example, setting hash for the image, so it didn't create a package, if the hash is valid.

[@lennyescott]

Hey, I have two ideas for videos (or maybe if they are outside your scope I could start a channel!). One, how to use git to manage your NixOS config. I recently did this, and it's great. You can use different flake configurations for different machines, for example a desktop pc and a laptop. Another idea is NixOS home server setup. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of tutorials on this, but NixOS seems like it would be really good for self hosting services like Wireguard, Pihole and SearX. (Right now I don't have a home server, but I am planning to get one soon)

[@vimjoyer]

Thanks for great ideas! Managing multiple machines is easy with flakes though. I hope don't mean creating separate git branches for it 😅

[@alyti]

@@vimjoyer I am actually working towards my own nixos home server setup. Some guides on initial machine bootstrapping and then provisioning with colmena or deploy-rs might be great for people IMO

[@davidjeters]

I would be really interested in learning about how to set up a home server with nixos.

[@lennyescott]

No, git branches would be hard! I mean just a basic git tutorial, and also a guide on having different configurations using nix. I found it really helpful to have a “common” file, or files, that each configuration imports. It’s simple once you figure it out, but I had to ask on reddit lol.

[@viniciusmelquiades]

I didn't know about importing files in flake. Never needed it, but could be useful some day

[@davidjeters]

Thanks for making the video, as I’m still trying to figure out how to pin specific vim plug-in versions with a neovim version. This is especially important as neovim keeps changing . Even though the video wasn’t about new stuff, it was still very helpful for me to hear it again.

How to get fetch zip sha?

[@vimjoyer]

Easiest way is to just let it fail with a fake sha. It will write correct one in the error message

[@ranuwp]

@@vimjoyer yeah but i have multiple fetch zip for wrapped flutter, because the files size are huge and also need to check for multiple os compatibility
