- My First Impressions of Nix
-
How can I calculate the "age of money" with (h)ledger?
If you're familiar with Python, I have a script which does that (along with a few other metrics): https://github.com/barrucadu/nixfiles/blob/1c99414156a7081ade210a9f43a3941b44a4ef0b/hosts/nyarlathotep/jobs/hledger-export-to-promscale.py

Issues getting docker containers with databases set up
I run a lot of services through docker containers, here's how I structure things: https://github.com/barrucadu/nixfiles/blob/master/services/concourse.nix
-
Who's here runs NixOS with opt in state?
I do. I have a fairly small chunk of configuration to stick all persistent state I care about in a different ZFS dataset (mounted to /persist) and do the rollback.
-
Do you all just git init inside your /etc/nixos directory?
It's what I do.
-
Erase your darlings: immutable infrastructure for mutable systems (erasing root on every boot)
You can see the relevant bit of my config on github.
-
How do you manage your private keys?
My solution - which is not great, mind you - is to have my NixOS config defined across two git repos: one is public, the other is private and has all the secrets.
-
Erasing root on every boot
All my nixos config is on github.

Ask HN: How to Manage Phones and PCs for Elderly Parents?
You might want to set up NixOS with impermanence, with something like https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence. Install an easy to use desktop environment like ElementaryOS, and configure NixOS with or without Flatpak, if you want to give the user the ability to install new software or not. Then set up automatic updates, automatic garbage collection and you have a truly stable system.

Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
I would not call these projects unbelievable, but they are neat.
- Opt-in state: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence and https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/
-
Every NixOS rebuild creates a new Tailscale machine
That way will work - I use the impermanence module which works similarly but allows to hide mounts.

Silverblue users: why?
This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

File system choice for Impermanence setup
I have recently stumbled upon Impermanence - modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage, and the concept seems quite nice.
-
Erase your darlings: Can this be applied to /home?
I haven't used it yet but nix-community/impermanence has a home-manager module that might be useful.
-
Interested in NixOS, have some questions
Some files in /etc (like saved networks) will still not be managed by NixOS, if you want to have full control over them use Impermanence
