Yay I installed NixOS on an Orange Pi Zero with an Allwinner H2+ (armv7l). Embedding the bootloader in the SD Card image was kinda complicated, but cross compilation simplified things. Here's my flake: gist.github.com/karmanyaahm/5dc741b52dfbf6cbcb32da2fc90a31e3

Day 1 of Winter Hardware Wonderland :winter-hardware-wonderland: : 1. Collected even more USB Setup phase fingerprints with my old Digispark-based device. Now I just need two types of teachers' HP Laptops and M1 Macs. 2. Building Circuitpython is haaaaaaard. The crazy dependency management is the primary reason I hate embedded things. Maybe I should Nix this... 3. @KaiZheng-U049N5Y0WM9 agreed to 3d print my cases and ship them to me ❤️. I need to hurry up on finalizing the design so they get here on time.

mmmm Nix. Moved my website to my new NixOS IPFS Caddy server running on Hetzner with vastly better reliability than my previous Ubuntu/Oracle Free tier server. github.com/karmanyaahm/nixos-ipfs-caddy-web-server Image pre-cache/post-cache

Making a tutorial on creating a NixOS development VM on a Mac!

I got a NixOS VM for development set up on my Mac tonight (kind of... still need to make it seamless!)

Here's a picture I took recently and a screenshot of my Scrapbook Streak! :fireball: I recently passed 300 days! :tw_tada: :quad_parrot: Also there's more updates to my NixOS VM! :nix: I wrote a guide with the steps I'm going to take to make it so I think everyone will work out better that the other times! I'm using an ARM ISO this time so the compatibility should be better.

Today I learned more things about Nix :nix: and continued studying like all of this days for my school test! :tw_closed_book: Also here's a nice landscape :tw_bridge_at_night: picture I took some days ago and that I shared in here as well! 📸 It's been cloudy ☁️ and very rainy 🌧️ for some days so I haven't taken any other good image!

Today I continued to learn Nix! :nix: And I'm going to be installing it on a VM on my M1 Macbook Air! :macintosh-stcicker: :macbook-air-space-gray-screen: I've been learning the theoretical aspects pf it and it's awesome, I can't wait to start building this new setup! :cooll-dino: Also here's an image of my Scrapbook :hack-club: keeping the streak has been very fun! :tw_relieved: Again there's an error with Vercel :vercel: on my local Internet network! 🕸️ The good thing is that I can use @BenjaminSmith Outline server to solve this! 📤

Today I learned more about Nix :nix: thanks to @tejasag! I have a better understanding now about nixOS, nixpkgs 🗃️ home-manager 🏡 nix-darwin 🐠 and other things! I have a better idea too on how this kind of dotfiles works.:parrot-nix: As well I'm finally working on my website again! I never finished last design so this is going to count towards my first version! 🌐 Also yesterday I managed to de-cypher 🔓 and enter Hack Club :hack-club: 2022 summer event :tw_bridge_at_night: website! It was so much fun and a very interesting project! I learn a lot of things from this like OpenSSL! :cat-on-the-laptop: :tw_unlock:Lastly, somehow I saw Vercel's 404 :sadmac: page for the first time while checking my projects dashboard. :vercel: :sphere:

A few months ago I said I was going to setup an Arch :arch: or NixOS :nix: VM! But I couldn't finish neither of those! :sphere: Right now I decided again to give it a try to Nix and finally I'm going to try it again!! :quad_parrot: This is going to be very cool and interesting! :cooll-dino: Now I just need to decide if making a VM like my previous plan or something else! Also finally we have the first official Summer Event clues! Some people already figured it out, and I'm going to learn what are JSON Web Tokens and how does they work! Here's an update: I managed to discover the event secret website! :parrotdad:

today i tried to get :tailscale: working on :replit:! for context, i have a laptop at school that’s eventually going to run some sort of web app to manage our 3d printers. we want to access this off the school network to keep an eye on prints, so the idea is to run tailscale on the laptop and on a replit instance, then proxy traffic from the repl to the web server that’ll eventually be running on the laptop. its pretty hacky but it actually does kinda work, i just need to figure out the proxying part 👀

I will be making a NixOS VM with UTM to try nix! Although I will still be using Homebrew as my package manager on macOS, I wanted to see how things work on a different system, this is going to be a very interesting experiment!

I am learning nix flakes! I added it to my evm disassembler. It’s really cool, Im starting to understand nix a little bit more & getting much better at it (even tho Im not on nixos)
