I may have accidentally booped a #NixOS onto a Jelly Star thanks to all the information available on the #postmarketos wiki. What do you think of that, Clippy?

Ported U-Boot with EFI support to the Unihertz Jelly Star tonight, NixOS next. Nix Brick for scale!

Got #nixos booting mainline on the Anbernic RG DS at @birkenhack@chaos.social with a little help from @dreamhazard@topspicy.social who has kindly left it in my possession, so I can hack on it more 👾

It has been devastating to watch AI go from interesting and maybe something I'd like to get into and support the open source aspects of, to a destructive pollutant of mind, planet and soul with trust eroding social consequences. It is so fucking boring and annoying.
Is there an easy way to flash something useful and usable on the #WHY2025 badges yet?
Replying to
I mean the good thing about nix is that it's mainline focused, and not all about hack harvesting (although we do keep quite a collection of hacks) they all are encouraged to be upstreamed. That's why I feel comfy in the pmOS channels and why I feel like I'll vibe more and contribute more significantly with y'all at some point soon ^^

So far, the research is in your favour regarding atrophy!

I don't think it's about purity, it's about idiocy.

Yes, the future is something that looks nix-shaped, regardless of the implementation, and I'm all for that!

@cas@social.treehouse.systems reposted this, are you into Nix yet owo

So uh, what about email?

I basically never feel like I'm "done" or "finished" with my accounts or anything relating to my interactions with HMRC. It's really depressing and mentally difficult for me.

I've printed this out and placed it in many locations already.

pmaports is not too different from this, they keep track of patches and ultimately intend to upstream them, the difference is just in the implementation/backend (pmbootstrap instead of nix)

Who uses the smbios data? Any link to a particular code snippet that shouldn't be doing that? I'm curious in what cases using the smbios data makes sense, since it doesn't in this case.

It's a really neat idea, I'd be happy to provide space at Birkenhack for events like this too, if that was ever needed.

Hmm, but can you run ZFS in here?

Now we can only use software written before 2022

The last time I investigated this shit show, all I really came up with is https://github.com/ac000/itsa but to use this you have to go through a time consuming (multi year?) back-and-forth signup process to get an API key from HMRC for each instance of this application. Sharing of tokens is not permitted. I really wish this were easier. Tagging @ac000 in case there's any new takes or advice :D

Ah nice, a clever piece of code. A pattern that will be collected by the AI borg, transmogrified and assimilated into an AI codebase in the future.
@blair_fix@mastodon.online Do you think AI energy consumption meaningfully changes anything about the https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/2025/05/04/the-half-life-of-empire/ article?

@Edent@mastodon.social So is balcony solar legal yet? I can't find anything saying "yes go do it".

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life".
It's hardest on the people who only do this stuff because they wanted to follow that principle.

Nah, I don't like nixos-hardware, I'm making my own thing here, this is just a bit of a copy-paste job whilst I figure out how to make functions to make these modules.

Don't forget to read the repo description, "with no maintenance or quality guarantees".

Huh, what even is the fix for that upstream? You just make the same symlink in the alsa ucm package?

Always been on board with such things, but my flat is owned by a property management company that doesn't allow people to do things like heat pumps or solar 😋

Their entire functionality, along with the land registry can be replaced by git logs.

Does UML actually work still? I looked into this a while ago and was interested in it because it seemed fun, but didn't have enough Nix skills to get it running.

U-Boot is just inheriting it from the mainline device tree though, is it not?

Just don't share computers with people you don't trust.
