Aux.computer: An Alternative to the Nix Ecosystem
For reference, I use Nix a lot. I was pushing it pretty hard at Intuit while I worked there.
All my systems are managed with it:
https://github.com/jakehamilton/config
And I have created projects like Snowfall Lib to make working with certain features easier:
https://github.com/snowfallorg/lib

Why is the documentation... nowhere to be found?!
I'm really excited by Jake Hamilton's work on snowfall and related stuff -- there are a few of these around (Haumea and Colmena, I think, haven't read much about them) but I think this is the sort of thing that would -- once fully ripened -- help significantly in terms of organizing an approach. Right now Nix feels a bit like Ruby before Rails -- a great language with a lot of potential but not a lot of focus. I think a thoroughly documented, worked example of how to build and maintain multi-system architecture will help a lot in guiding people through the mess of docs.

How to use Hashicorp Vault to Manage Secrets
This guide will walk you through the process of securely providing secrets to a NixOS system using Hashicorp Vault. It assumes that you already have a Hashicorp Vault server up and running, and that your NixOS configuration is set up using Snowfall-lib. The method described here is inspired by Jake Hamilton.

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?

Thinking about to switch from Fedora Sliverblue to NixOS with following use caseā¦
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/ .
