People struggle with the definition of Nix.

It's a tool, to run piles of bash reproducibly. :-D

Found this fun video today while searching for something else.

direnv v2.34.0 is out! Among minor fixes, we also have a couple of features:

* feat: added Murex shell support (#1242)
* feat: added systemd shell for export (#1126)
* feat: allow to disable warn timeouts (#1209)
* feat: hide env diff (#1223, #1234)

The last one fixes something a lot of users were reporting. They wanted to hide the `direnv: export <big list of envs>` line. You can now set `hide_env_diff = true` in your direnv.toml config.

It feels like 2024 is the year when NATS becomes mainstream.

Great talk by Julien Malka and Camille Mondon at FOSDEM on Clevis/Tang: unattended boot of an encrypted NixOS system. This makes it practical to have servers with full disk encryption enabled.

Did you know you can install Guix on NixOS?

Is anybody using Eurostar regularly?

I received a free 27,5 € voucher and most likely won't use it.

First reply gets it.

Who else is coming to FOSDEM this weekend? Hit me up if you want to chat about building things.
