Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Fish and nix develop question
I have a wrapper function that just maps to dev to make life easier: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/develop.fish
-
Possible to make a machine independent NixOS configuration/flake?
Never fully got it to work, so I just encrypt my secrets when I build my isos: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/actions/runs/5055636638/jobs/9072093945
-
Hardware configuration in nix flake dotfiles?
I have multiple files for each machine based on hostname. I have CI strip my config of all system specific information for general distribution. For reference: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots

Using current flake setup with WSL2
I build a wsl image: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/nix/machines/wsl.nix
- Diving straight into flakes with no channels?
-
how to store secrets needed at install time
What I do: Keep secrets in a separate git repo as a flake, and have a stub flake, that can be overridden: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/tree/template/nix/spoof

Rice NixOS?

(maybe) ex arch user need some help to understand
I have a script that will symlink my dotfiles in (github:dmadisetti/.dots/setup.sh), because you also end up with weird RO permissions if you do it through Nix. I think this is fine. It also means that you aren't stuck with Nix
-
Have a shell command in configuration.nix that runs on nixos-rebuild
The way I manage multiple systems is with a wrapper: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/snix.fish
-
Arch user, convince me to hop to Nix
The only thing that is semi manual is setting up disks on first install (something you'd still have to do with arch). You can still script that: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/scripts/run-install.nix.sh

Going declarative on macOS with Nix and Nix-Darwin
I’ve been using Nix directly on MacOS with minimal issues for a few years now. Works great.
I hate using docker on Mac and have since replaced it with flakes and devenv.
My configuration with a step by step guide (600+ stars): https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config

Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
I tried to make Nix as easy to adopt as possible by creating Nix commands and a step by step guide: https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config
I love Nix. I use it every day to manage multiple local dev environments. And I use devenv instead of docker for sharing project-specific environments with others.

2024-01-01 Emacs News
Felt (still am, actually) this problem too. Started with the same approach (Vanilla Emacs) a few years back in order to really learn the ins-and-outs after giving DOOM and others a shot and feeling like I didn't have the faintest what was really going on with all the magic. I somehow did end up falling in love with Emacs again[^1].
Won't lie... there was a fair amount of cursing involved and, despite the love, I wouldn't recommend many to venture down this road[^2].
Now I have gone the literate config way in my dotfiles https://github.com/vidbina/dotfiles/tree/main/emacs and I jump between Cursor (vscode-based), Neovim and Emacs for different tasks on a daily. I also found dustinlyons/nixos-config (https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config/blob/main/module...) just a few days ago and figured that could be a fun resource when you're building yours up.
Take it as a hobby. There are a bunch of nice things that I picked up from Emacs (a. literate configs, b. comfort around working with LISPs, c. bigger appreciation for parts of the GNU ecosystem, d. more in-depth understanding of how my editor works which helps me debug issues in Neovim or vscode when I see them) but I still think that I'm cursed by wanting to go down this road so badly. Wish I could just vscode my way through live and build dope stuff, unencumbered.
1: Used Emacs heavily in college over 12 years ago when I would boot the Windows + Novell groupware school computers into my own Ubuntu config with my Emacs and embedded dev toolchain from my pendrive.
2: The single-threaded-ness and related ocassional unresponsiveness/hangups still grind my gears.

Adding a Mac to my flake
Here is my flake using home manager on Mac: https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config
- Show HN: You can try my unified Nix environment for macOS/NixOS

Nix Survival Mode: macOS upgrades won't break Nix anymore
What do I need to do to switch from an official Nix install to using nix-installer on macOS? Just uninstall the current nix and install using nix-installer?
My config is loosely based off https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config if this matters. Using nix-darwin.

Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?
My configuration uses Nix.

Ask HN: Could you show your personal blog here?
Not my personal notes, but how I do my writing and organize my thoughts. This is my Nix configuration that powers my Macbook, Linux PC, and home lab server. Emacs + org-roam to capture everything. https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config
