🚨WARNING🚨

Apparently some #Nix / #NixOS matrix room(s) have gotten csam spam. I have not verified this claim myself, but honestly, we can all probably just not check matrix for a few days until hopefully things are back to normal.

I do *not* know what utilities #Matrix provides to prevent the proliferation of this information. If you joined the room from a different home server then your server may have synchronized the material to your infrastructure.

I think the safest course of action is not opening a matrix client for a few days...

Domen, creator of devenv, recently added telemetry to his devenv thing, as part of adding AI to the product, and when nixpkgs contributors removed the telemetry, he reverted the change, with a self merge, without a fucking review even.

This is a clear conflict of interest. We need to stop this from happening in the NixOS organization, corpos need to have some respect for users.

Hi everyone, I am now looking for full-time work! If you have a remote Software Engineer position available and work with #Frontend web tech (#HTML / #CSS / #JS / #TS / #React, etc), #NodeJS (or #Bun / #Deno ), #Kubernetes, or #Nix / #NixOS then please reach out! I love building tools to solve problems and delight users.

For examples of my previous work, links to my projects, and my resume, please see my website: https://jakehamilton.dev

Boosts very much appreciated!

I wonder what is going on with my #nix setup (as a package manager within Linux). Regular nix-env installs do not resolve the right package, but flakes seem to work.

Should we all start using flakes? If I start using flakes, I cannot use the nix-env command without rolling back.
