The real game changer after I went full nix OS on all my machines and using it on a a few Mac’s is indeed devshells which seemed so annoying to learn but really really are a game changer

I already have a Corne and a Glove80. I'd like something built into a laptop as well.

As a note ceph (rook on kubernetes) which is distributed blockstorage has a built in s3 endpoint support

We’ve been having really good results with Copilot Agent. Sometimes we have to close a PR and refine the issue or pull down and work locally on cursor but it also jumpstarts a lot of stuff.

Seems like something that might be useful to store on Arweave a block chain for storage. Fees go to an endowment that’s has been calculated to far exceed the cost of growing storage

Lots of people mentioning ZFS, which can’t do hibernation correctly as sometimes ZFS will still do some writes after that ram has suspended. Which I feel like would complete the story of here’s my mobile device that is snapshoted and backed up regularly.

I wonder where bcachfs in regards to mobile snapshots and hibernation.

Works fine - my main development laptop has been bcachefs for ~8 years, I suspend it all the time :)

I think there have been one or two bug reports in the past from rebalance not freezing in a timely manner (laptops don't usually use rebalance, that's usually a multi device thing), but I think they've been fixed. Send me a bug report if it's not :)

Suspend works find on ZFS from what I’ve read but not hibernate where ram is written to disk for full power off

Linux’s power management APIs that handle these things are behind GPL symbol exports. In theory, it should be fairly simple to resolve this if it were not for that. Right now, if you want hibernation with ZFS, you should use FreeBSD.

Nice.

I wish pihole or adguard would add support for change DNS records based on the query subnet. I believe this is called DNS views.

That way my local devices and wireguard devices can get the correct IP for internal services.

In unbound those are indeed views[1]. I moved from pihole to unbound+nsd a couple of years ago for precisely this use case. Block filters courtesy of[2].

I managed this by getting a gTLD (digit-only .xyz is cheapest) for internal-only services and then running a Caddy instance to reverse-proxy to my internal services. I don't port forward or open ports to that Caddy instance, so it's not available externally.

With ddwrt and adguard, it took a while to setup but I can ping all my devices with <hostname>.lan.

They are now backed by docker after the Electric Eel update.

Had to look it up, you're talking about TrueNAS moving from Kubernetes to Docker, just for clarification, https://forums.truenas.com/t/the-future-of-electric-eel-and-...

Huh, interesting as I literally moved from TrueNAS to NixOS because of two reasons 1) not liking something as complicated as Kubernetes for something as simple as home infrastructure and 2) to have a more reproducible setup.

Happy to hear 1 won't be an issue for others in the future :)

I feel that, I went back to truenas for the simplicity.

This 5 disk pool started from the freebsd truenas, to Debian, to nixos, back to linux truenas.

And the disks where bumped from 2TB to 12Tb

We started having a few developers have constant VSCode timeouts. We switched to GitHub devcontainers which have been great.
