We're buying a new home soon. :) If we wake up feeling good about it, we'll put an offer in first thing tomorrow morning.

Hello friends. Short update - my wife is now with me in Canada. Immigration process complete. It's been great. :)
Bye bye London. 🙏
My wife's permanent residence is approved! We just need to send her passport to the embassy now. The embassy will put a special foil in there and then she'll be coming home with me. 🤩🤩🤩

Haha nixpkgs issue. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/478561
Lets see what happens when I update my flake.

@RL_Dane To be honest, I was pretty excited when each of those things came out. But now I have regrets. They've used my dopamine against me!

And "vac" is a pretty interesting case. It's a shared computer between me and my family. It has two main modes: workstation and family. These modes are represented by different nixosConfigurations.
Family mode is family friendly, so an easy desktop, usual productivity tools, games, and so on. Family access also adds their users to the system.
Workstation mode is josh's dev env. Docker, "weird" WM, etc. But family access lets family switch to family mode after logging in.
I got a new MIDI controller and began playing a keyboard again! It's been a long time, but I nailed chopsticks. I still got it! 😂
Seriously though: It works nicely in the DAW in Linux, but latency is a problem. Is JACK still the go-to here for real-time audio? Or is PipeWire good for that these days as well?
Slow slow slow slow. I hope it doesn't stay stuck in UPDATE_COMPLETE_CLEANUP_IN_PROGRESS for too many hours. 😂
My mind to your leaves.
The Google Maps Javascript API, often used to embed a map in your site, is vulnerable to a Denial of Wallet attack. You can accrue thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges from Google within hours, often faster than budget alerts can detect and report.
It's being abused by Agents, through Referer header spoofing. This after Google spent a decade telling us that Maps keys are non-sensitive and meant to be public. Their referer and api access security controls can't even prevent this attack.
Man. Entra and Windows/AD killed my week.
I finally pulled the trigger and changed over to new accounting software for '26.
I tried a bunch of open and closed products. The open ones are pretty good, but they lack easy bank transaction feeds. I'm not manually bookeeping, so I ruled them all out.
Among the closed, Xero was the best for me. The accountants at home all know how to use it, and Xero has a partner program so I can probably even resell or build apps for it.
Happy happy.
Hello from downtown Capetown! :)
Goodbye localstack, hello Moto. 😂

For example, in my personal flake, I created an orchestration module that maps dendritic.nixosConfigurations to flake.nixosConfigurations with some conventions and explicit features. The "dendritic" nature really lies in the default "features".
For example, I create default feature, which "collects" features from other dendrites. Elsewhere, I have a "josh" aspect which for nixos adds my user/keys and configures my home. It self-registers with the default aspect, so "josh" is on every nixos.
