Is git bisect what you are looking for?

I too experimented with k3s, but then abandoned the idea of using it after I realized the proper way to run postgres on it was (IIUC) to use bitnami’s helm chart. I like to have some level of understanding of how my homelab and it’s config works, and that humongous amount of unreadable templates was not appealing in the least.

As for containers, I am not really looking for service isolation (IIUC until ##368565 lands, all virtualisation.oci-containers basically run as root and I’m fine with that*)… I just want to be able to run different (usually more recent, but in nixos one also can’t easily “pin” an older version of a package if the need arises **) versions of services than those packaged is nixos. Also, not all services I want to run are available as nixos packages, and even less have modules.

* I know what risk I’m running (more or less): nothing in my homelab is accessible from outside my lan and, even if the container host was somehow pwned, that machine can’t really do much harm (the important stuff is on a separate one).

** I guess I could import an older version of nixpkgs in my flake, but that requires way too much editing just to pin a package (time I’d rather spend solving the actual issue).

Thanks that was really helpful!

In my case, the system did not have a default route - I’ve updated the post with details.

Agreed: now that I’m looking at the whole thing, this looks like a story where the FOSS community left much to be desired.

Which essential apps is Google restricting access to? (I sincerely don’t know: Lineage is the only Android I ever run)

I know nothing about Wikipedia drama, but the term “logical fallacy” usually indicates a reasoning pattern and does not apply to specific arguments, regardless of how fallacious they may happen be. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

Different functions whose possible failure reasons have a non-empty intersection, but don’t coincide completely (IDK if this clarifies? I think the example code in the OP is clearer)

Given that it downloads random shit from the internet

You seem to trust the javascript ecosystem just as much as I do :)

Jokes aside, the repo has a lock file so it should actually be fine (time will tell)

Found the solution (I think): basically it should just work as expected if you just add outputHashAlgo, outputHashMode and outputHash to your derivation.

“mesh” is a buzzword that doesn’t make much sense (to me at least) if we are talking about wired and routers… what do you mean by it? can you describe your setup?

edit:

Let me clarify :)

Unless I’m mistaken, mesh means that one a bunch of devices, usually wireless access points, connected with each other (in a mesh) with possibly low-quality connections that automatically switch traffic for each other.

If you have ethernet running from the router to the APs, you always want to use that and so you don’t want a mesh at all.

The best option would be to have a “regular” client that keeps a local copy in sync with the cloud instead of a mount.

BTW: IDK what cloud storage you are using, but IIRC some show files that are not available locally (ie. only the most recent files are downloaded locally - the older stuff is downloaded on request).

Alternatively, you could hack something together running unison locally in the guest to sync the cloud folder to a shared one… you’ll have two copies of the data though.

This quote from your article does nail the problem on the head though.

It nails a different problem on the head.

You don’t have to convince the US government to allow you access to classified information, you just have to convince a lawyer that their (possibly non-US) client won’t be liable in case you are lying.

First of all, saying “based on their country of residence” is either grossly uninformed or (most probably) plain dishonest.

Ignoring that, the GPL-freedoms of companies subject to sanctions are still preserved, so… having established that your “free” is not the same “free” as in “free and open source software”, what the hell are you talking about?

Finland was invaded by Russia before WWII, then participated in a campaign against Russia with the Axis powers and finally signed the Moscow Treaty with Russia and the UK and joined them against Germany… I fear history is more complex than what may serve your simplistic view (I’d go to far as to say that, most probably, reality is too).

Also, if I may, that happened some 80 years ago… do you think current Finns should be ashamed of that when they were not even alive back then? Can you name a nation that didn’t do anything shameful in the last century?

In case anyone comes here with the same problem, the solution is:

attoparsec-aeson = haskellPackages.mkDerivation {
  ...
  postUnpack = ''
    mv source source-aeson
    cp -rL source-aeson/attoparsec-aeson source
    rm -fr source-aeson
  '';
  ...
};

It’s a guy babbling about an anonymous website with the same-old stuff against Stallman, and how that is part of a conspiracy to harm free software.

I watched it (most of it) despite having formed my opinion on the quality of that DistroTube channel a while ago… you might want to be wiser than me and do something else with your time.

PS:

Before you put me in the pro-Stallman faction, let me clarify that I think the FSE (non the FSFe - BTW you should change your name guys) is largely irrelevant and so I’ve never investigated the allegations to Stallman enough to take a stance pro or against: I do not care.

I must say, this whole shitshow has been pretty funny to watch :)

One way or another, if you want to run an application you are gonna need its dependencies (the key is the name)… they may be bundled into an appimage or come as part of flatpak ruintime, or be confined inside a container, or live in the nix store, but they will “bloat” your system anyway.

Learn how to cleanup your system (ie. uninstall all packages that are not needed by others that have been requested explicitly) and live a happy life. Only bother with other solutions if the software (or version) you need isn’t available for your distro.

Because podman :)
