  • Canon LBP6230dw printer on NixOS
    1 project | /r/NixOS | 4 Apr 2023
    I had the same problem for my Brother printer and yes I finally packaged the driver myself. You might want to check how I did it and take this as an example to start with. It would be great for the NixOS community it you'd made it available in NUR when it's working.
  • gnome-manager v0.0.1: let's build config abstractions for GNOME

  • I don't need to clean up my desktop and downloads folder
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 29 May 2023
    I've been fighting with the automatic accumulation of downloads for years now - it really makes it impossible to figure out if whatever I downloaded can safely be deleted - so my current system is similar to the OP's one, but a little gentler: I have a launchd task that runs every day and warns "I'm about to delete these things that are older than two weeks", which lets me salvage anything I might have forgotten to archive.

    Source here in case it's useful for anyone: https://github.com/f-f/home/blob/ee0ae5dd201ac6e8ffa60fff71b...
