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.

Why is the documentation... nowhere to be found?!
For me, https://search.nixos.org/ is a better aid than the wiki. Often the right keyword in the NixOS packages or modules search will lead me right to the obvious and simple answer that I couldn't find elsewhere.
-
Nix packages security, safety, and privacy
Does https://search.nixos.org/ pull from nixpkgs, the Nix User Repository, or both?
-
What is the difference between:
Just go to search.nixos.org, open the option you would like to see more of, and click on the link behind "Declared in".
-
Where to find SAR in the package manager?
I've done a nix-env query, and checked in https://search.nixos.org but can't seem to find any SAR package, nor any google search that gave any hints to see if it might be part of another system utility package...

My First Impressions of Nix
If you want to install a package, search for it at https://search.nixos.org
The gnome system monitor is gnome.gnome-system-monitor for example https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=gnome.g...
- How can I see what options are available for a certain import?

Super Colliding Nix Stores: Nix Flakes for Millions of Developers
search.nixos.org also includes flakes that people PR into the index via GitHub at https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-search/issues
ps: $ nix search exists via experimental flags https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3...

Thinking about to switch from Fedora Sliverblue to NixOS with following use case…
Idk about ec_sys, I couldn't find it on search.nixos.org, but since it's a kernel module it might just come with the kernel idk.

How do you quickly browse the source of a flake input
I rarely think to look at flakes by their source, actually. I have a Nixpkgs clone that I jump into for anything super ad-hoc but most of the time I'm just doing REPL, :lf ./. and mashing tab-completion. That's usually to make sure the thing I'm after exists in one of the large package sets like node, vimPlugins, or similar, and that I got the name right - which could probably be answered just as easily with https://search.nixos.org/ .

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
