Linus Torvalds statement
To get your Linux ready to use after a fresh install you might have an Ansible playbook to get the system ready to go with all the tools you need.

Optimal way to backup Macs without Time Machine
Not public. But you can search YouTube for geerlingguy and Ansible Mac. I got the idea from him https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook
- How would you set up your work laptop differently if you had to do it again?
-
A configuration management system for pets, not cattle
This is how I set up my Mac as well; just a local connection. Sets up out of box Mac in about 15 minutes and I can keep my two Mac's configs in perfect sync: https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Anyone have a checklist/plan for when they migrate to a new Mac and do a fresh install?
One way I have seen is to use Ansible and a playbook - Jeff Geerling does this here but that's a bit OTT for me.

Getting my first Mac from work. What are some good work related apps to try out?
Jeff Geerling has a Mac Dev PlayBook repo that is pretty close to how I would build my system.

Trying to automate the “Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen” setting.
There is, I use this with some of my own customizations https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Your favorite automated method for duplicating your setup on a new machine?
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete script for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed (mac-dev-playbook)[https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook]

Script to setup all dev tools in a local environment
If you go down the route of using Ansible, this is a very complete tool for Mac OS. Even if you don't use it, you can see how many useful apps can be installed mac-dev-playbook And if Ansible if just too much, try this simple way to code, document, and replay bits of your installation scripts with this tool I wrote recently and use to deploy systems daily. markdown_exec

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I symlink a few files in place via Dropbox, but have most of my local configs in a dot files repo: https://github.com/geerlingguy/dotfiles
Then for more systemwide configuration, I have an Ansible playbook I run every now and then (configures apps, dock item order, etc): https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook

Eelco Dolstra's leadership is corrosive to the Nix project

I use NixOS for my home-server, and you should too!
As we covered in my last post, NixOS is a amazing Linux distribution for creating stable and declared environments. Now while this is amazing for a desktop setup, it is also perfect for a home-server or home-lab.

Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
(Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)

Colima k8s nix setup
Nix is a cross-platform package manager. It uses the nix programming language. Nix and NixOs are often used in the same context, but while the first is a package manager, the latter is a linux distribution based on nix.

NixOs - Your portable dev enviroment
Today I want to talk to you about Nixos. What is it? Nixos is a declarative and reproducible OS, partly taking the words used on their own page. What does that mean?

Nix – A One Pager
Software developers often want to customize:
1. their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow).
2. their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here.
3. or even their operating systems: for development, for CI, for deployment, or for personal use.
Nix provision all of the above in the same language, with Nixpkgs, NixOS, home-manager, and devShells such as https://devenv.sh/. What's more, Nix is (https://nixos.org/):
- reproducible: what works on your dev machine also works in CI in prod,
- declarative: you version control and review your configurations and infrastructure as code, at a reasonable level of abstraction,
- reliable: all changes are atomic with easy roll back.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Ask HN: Could Nix make crypto mining more efficient?
- it reduces bloat, because you can generate an environment or OS image with only the software needed to run a specific program or service
My guess is that a big efficiency gain would come from the second point, because you don't waste CPU on code that you don't use.
Does this make sense? Has anyone explored this?

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
1) Setting up the development environment - I currently use devcontainers for most things, but may also dig into nix -> isolated, portable, repeatable development environment 2) Exploring Echo - understand routing, requests, response, etc. 3) Incorporate Templ - integration with Echo, template composition, etc. 4) Integrating TailwindCSS - config for use with Echo/Templ, development cycle, deployment, etc. 5) Add in HTMX - endpoints, template structure, concepts, etc. 6) hyperscript for interactivity - client side interactivity
