Oh lol. You’re not on unstable?

Uh oh. I thought it’s a common practice to use stable by default and unstable where needed for stability. Is this less common than I thought?

Around half a year based off my commits which in retrospect is a short amount of time. It took me off guard because it felt like around a year before checking. Probably because of the steep learning curve that put me through a lot in a short amount of time. Lol

I guess I will have my coming of age ceremony when I will bother doing my first major nixos update since I haven’t bothered doing one yet as I haven’t felt the need to warrant spending the time on it. ❄️

Oof. Good to know. I’m lucky enough to only use it personally on a smaller scale where once something is set up I don’t need to touch it again and if I do it’s easy to do with the previously set up foundation. Do you regret using NixOS? Or do you think there are better alternatives in which case which ones?

It’s interesting to see how some people switch with ease and some struggle with it a lot. Haha

1. I like having the same system configuration across machines and be sure that everything is the same.

2. I like having all configuration in one place and have comments near the relevant code for extra clarity.

3. Nixos makes setting up root on ZFS a breeze.

4. System as nix configuration makes it very easy to track changes with version control and informative commits.

5. If I fuck up the system I can easily boot into older generation.

6. System can rebuild only if everything (with proper checks) succeeds giving you a greater confidence in things working.

7. System reinstals are quick and easy so on hardware failure you can go back to work very quickly without having go spend days and weeks getting your system so vagualy similar state as before.

8. Nixos made it easy for me to set up mirrored boot so my system will still work fine when one of my boot drives fails.

9. I get to know what is actually installed on my devices and can easily get rid of it.

10. No dependency hell.

11. I can easily try out a program before installing it permanently with nix shell.

12. Impermanence helps me ensure that every folder and file that I need to keep is documented and keeps them in one place for very easy backups and I have 100% confidence at my backups have everything important.

And many other bigger and smaller things that I can’t remember right now. I’d honestly be interested in solutions simpler than nix providing the same or greater benefits with more simplicity.

E: Also, because my original comment wasn’t well worded I will mention that I meant that once you learn how to work with nixos things become easier and once you get the setup going it’s just there continuing to work since the effort is paid in advance and you continue getting the benefits just like that.

humanConfiguration."user".gender  = {
  enable = false;
  #female.enable = true;
  #male.enable = lib.mkForce false; 
};

Yeah, nixos btw is a big commitment that works only if you have enough time and/or you highly value what it provides. Though if you have lots of time to get past the learning curve and get things going the maintenance becomes much less of an issue later on which is nice.

(Re)pebble smartwatches also have only 30 days long warranties… https://repebble.com/warranty

Here’s a quote from one of their blog posts: https://repebble.com/blog/pebble-time-2-is-in-mass-production

We offer a 30-day warranty. We will ship you a replacement during that period if you encounter any hardware defects and return it . We think this is a fantastic watch, and we stand behind it. But we can’t stand up behind it forever - life happens. We’re also a much smaller company than before. We can’t afford to bring these new watches to market unless we can contain our exposure to risk. To balance that, we’re clearly stating our terms in the interest of being as transparent as possible, enabling you to make an informed decision.

We don’t offer buyer’s remorse refunds. The information about what Pebble is and does has been around for 14 years now. You all should have a pretty good idea of what the product is and whether you want it. It’s also very hard to do reverse logistics worldwide (ie getting watches returned). If you don’t want a Pebble, please don’t order one 😉.

I find that disappointing and I’m honestly confused about how that checks out legally in EU.

E: I like how AirGradient approached this where you get parts for DIY kit (which is practically almost fully assembled and it’s just formality to do the finishing screws) where you get no warranty but at a much cheaper price in return and the risk is on you: https://www.airgradient.com/indoor/

The monitor with warranty is 230 USD and the kit without warranty is 138 USD.
