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?
My dots
-
(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

Understanding Overlays and direnv nix shell inheritance
I'm trying to understand overlays in order to make a proper rustup install (I've read that this overlay is the best way to go).

Diving straight into flakes with no channels?
real-world example: https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/blob/master/flake.nix
-
An example providing rust toolchain for Linux/macOS using devenv.sh
In this language context specifically, if one wanted to manage their workspace with Nix I would reach for Riff and/or oxalica/rust-overlay first, since they are deliberately more aware of Rust-specific nuance. In the latter's case it has compatibility paths with rustup-toolchain files as well, for allowing your peers who can't or won't adopt Nix to continue to feel like first-class participants in the project. Another alternative I don't have experience with would be nix-community/fenix.
-
Introducing Riff, a Nix-based tool for automatically providing external dependencies to Rust projects
p.s. I'm not sure if it's mentioned much of anywhere, but it'd be neat if there was a way to figure out the appropriate cargo from a rust-toolchain/rust-toolchain.toml if present, ala https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay. Funnily enough 95% of my development time is in Rust, but I don't actually have it installed globally, fun times being a NixOS user. I'd definitely make the argument that cargo is an external dependency!

Have a few questions about NixOS
Many of us have moved to https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay over Mozilla's overlay.
-
Rust Environment and Docker Build with Nix Flakes
We added rust-overlay, so we can easily specify different rust versions without relying on nixpkgs to give us what ever rust version in there.
-
Switching from pyenv, rbenv, goenv and nvm to asdf – yujinyuz
If it's Rust, you can use https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay to get any version you want very easily without pinning an instance of nixpkgs just for it.
asdf does not allow you to keep three different versions of the same language, so I'm not sure how that compares? It's not super-trivial to do in Nix, but at least you can do it.
asdf is also no different than Nix when it comes to minor/major versions. You're at the mercy of what the plugin does, other than that you have to create your own plugin from scratch or make a fork. Nix has the option to patch things up more easily at least.

Fenix: rust toolchains for all channels and rust-analyzer nightly
How does this compare to https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/ ? Can fenix ingest a rust-toolchain file and provide packages from it?
Can you say a bit about how this compares to oxalica’s rust overlay?
-
What made you grok Nix language?
I frequently try to do something, say use (from the README of rust overlay):
What are some alternatives?
deploy-rs - A simple multi-profile Nix-flake deploy tool.
naersk - Build Rust projects in Nix - no configuration, no code generation, no IFD, sandbox friendly.
krops - Mirror of https://cgit.krebsco.de/krops/about/ (PRs / issues accepted, as can be seen by not having them disabled)
Home Manager using Nix - Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]
nixos-config - My NixOS configurations.
fenix - Rust toolchains and rust-analyzer nightly for Nix [maintainer=@figsoda]
nix-starter-configs - Simple and documented config templates to help you get started with NixOS + home-manager + flakes. All the boilerplate you need!
nixpkgs-mozilla - Mozilla overlay for Nixpkgs.
nixfiles - My NixOS configuration and assorted other crap.
asdf-direnv - direnv plugin for the asdf version manager
nixcfg - My nix configuration(s), using flakes. It's my laptop, it's my servers, it's my everything, in code.
