> Fedora change aims for 99% package reproducibility

Nice, cool. Let's check .

> I often see initiatives and articles like this but no mention of #Nix. [...] Should it [Fedora] adopt an alternate package manager to achieve this with less headache?

Ah, yes.

Fixing your existing package manager is *clearly* more of a headache than changing the entire package manager.

A new module is available: 'services.way-displays'. A service to automatically configure your displays on wlroots-based wayland compositors.

Why are so many devs into Nix?

Ron Efroni shares how the Nix community became one of the most supportive and resilient in open source.

Reproducible folks, how do I run Prisma ORM without having to bang my head for having to deal with the included "engines" and mangled RPATH?

Honestly, I am planning to move to mikroORM or TypeORM, whichever gives a better DX.

How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?

In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.

There are a few limitations though:

* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location

What is great:

* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access

Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).

But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.

Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.

In general I am really happy with this system.

And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.

I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.

But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

I got curious and tried to configure #NixOS to run the #Nix daemon as a non-root user. It *kinda* worked; the deamon starts up, but fork-bombs the system as soon as you try to do anything: https://github.com/gmacon/nix-daemon-rootless

Fleshed out my #Nix Zed extensions project.

The mermaid-cli tool has several known issues that relate to Docker, running a Linux sandbox, and linking to chromium.

I dodged all these issues because I ran:
```
nix-shell \
-I channel:nixos-unstable \
-p mermaid-cli
```

#nix and #go people: if the source code doesn't change and the "vendorHash" does, there's either something wrong with my Nix code or with the Go code, right?
