I have been using NixOS for the last 2 years now.
I got introduced to it by friends, who had changed their entire workflow to accommodate it.
I was a bit skeptical at the beginning, tried installing the package manager to my arch install at the time, but didn&#39;t fully understand how I was supposed to use it in conjunction with how I was my computer at the time.
However, in the summer of 2023, I decided to take the plunge, and go the full way, with a new install.
Having run this type of setup for two years now, I have to admit it.

I have been using NixOS for the last 2 years now.
I got introduced to it by friends, who had changed their entire workflow to accommodate it.
I was a bit skeptical at the beginning, tried installing the package manager to my arch install at the time, but didn&#39;t fully understand how I was supposed to use it in conjunction with how I was my computer at the time.
However, in the summer of 2023, I decided to take the plunge, and go the full way, with a new install.
Having run this type of setup for two years now, I have to admit it.
NixOS makes certain aspects of using my computer easier.</p>
<p>
As of recent, I have had to change the laptop that I was using.
With Nix as the base, I was able to make it usable, in way faster time than I think I would have been able with an Arch installation.
There are some aspects that make it harder though, since that laptop needed to make sure it worked as intended, such as disabling TLP and patching the kernel.
It also allowed me to resume my work on my current master thesis, since I could just pull the git repo and use nix develop to get all the dependencies for that work in specifics.</p>

<h2 id="headline-1">
Configuration
</h2>
<div id="outline-text-headline-1" class="outline-text-2">
<p>A friend of mine recently decided to try and do the switch themselves.
He has been an avid Arch fan boy for the last 2 years, since he got mad at Fedora for bricking his install (I genuinely do not understand how that happened).
He has been a bit particular however, refusing to configure software to ensure that he is able to use them anywhere, and to not have to learn esoteric languages for just one program.
I find this very sensible, while I approach it completely differently.
I want software customized to me, for me to act as best as I can within it.</p>
<p>
Anyway, this has lead to some confusion about Nix, and why things are as they are.
For example, how is Git, as defined in Home-Manager, able to configure it as it does?
And that is an implementation detail, but it is quite important for a user of Nix.
Why does Nix gatekeep the most foundational aspect of using Nix according to most users behind an Experimental-feature wall?
Now, I don&#39;t have the answers for these, since I am not yet a contributor to Nix, or well versed in the ecosystem, if I am being honest.</p>

A better introduction
</h2>
<div id="outline-text-headline-2" class="outline-text-2">
<p>A comment was made about the <a href="https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/">installation guide</a>, about how it is not adequate, and I wouldn&#39;t know, I didn&#39;t read it when I got NixOS.
Like most of Nix documentation, it is a bit overwhelming and hard to navigate.
I like <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide">Arch&#39;s install guide</a>, since it is easier to search, and it segments the parts into different pages.
So, if I were to change anything, I would split this up, making sure that they are condensed into small, concrete parts.
An approach of this that I like is <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook">mdbook</a>. One could therefore keep the more general structure of the guide, but each subsection is it&#39;s own page.</p>
<p>
Another aspect that would change is that an introduction should try to convey one way.
NixOS tries to introduce flakes in the <a href="https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-installation-manual-installing">Installing section</a>, but never explaining what it is, or linking further.
Either you introduce a concept, link to more info, or you do not mention it.</p>
<p>
There are also several ways of managing the system that are not a good way of handling NixOS specifically.
Why is the <a href="https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-ad-hoc-packages">Ad-hoc</a> way of using Nix even introduced, when it goes against the ideals of having a reproducible system?
Why introduce manual user management?
Further, it talks about a lot of different programs that a user may want to install.
This does however not teach the user to actually figure out where to find options.
Why isn&#39;t <a href="https://search.nixos.org">search.nixos.org</a> introduced?</p>
<p>
An optimal guide would introduce how to create a system, using Line truncated

Hello again, been a while hasn&#39;t it?
You know, existing can sometimes be just enough.
During the summer, I started a playthrough of the new Zelda game and it leaves me with opinions.
I thought I would write about it to explain my opinions on the game and fully understand what I even think.
So let&#39;s get into it, shall we?</p>

<p>When I was a kid, I was introduced to Zelda by my uncles, playing Wind Waker, Link&#39;s awakening and later Twilight Princess.
It got me hooked on the games, the exploring was a great and going through dungeons.
I would go on to play most of the main line Zeldas and they offer different experiences but all offered something that I enjoyed.
The scope of Ocarina of time, the creepy nature of Majora&#39;s Mask, the plot of Skyward sword, it was all so much fun.</p></description>

Then Breath of the Wild came out
</h3>
<div id="outline-text-headline-2" class="outline-text-3">
<p>I experienced it later than most people, other than the one time I got to try to speedrun it at a friends house.
The scale of it, and the fact that it had so many points of interest available to one just walking through the world.
I enjoyed it a lot.</p>

<h4 id="headline-3">
The tools available
</h4>
<div id="outline-text-headline-3" class="outline-text-4">
<p>There were complaints about the weapons breaking but I felt, with the addition of the bombs and other tools, was a puzzle to solve.
You could always traverse the world without using one of the powers.
Sure, they could make it easier, as seen in speedrunning with bomb jumps or stasis hits.
When approached with a mountain range one could climb it, sometimes with more difficulty than others.
Take the waterfalls of the Zora domain,
one could use the ice blocks on the side of the waterfalls to climb,
but you could also use the Zora armour or take a different route by climbing.</p>

<div id="outline-container-headline-4" class="outline-4">
<h4 id="headline-4">
The dungeons and repetition
</h4>
<div id="outline-text-headline-4" class="outline-text-4">
<p>The dungeons in the game were hype approaching them.
They were big, causing issues for the inhabitants of the world.
But when actually doing the dungeon, it was a an exploration to get to some switches to then defeat an unrelated boss that felt that it didn&#39;t have a build up.
It felt like a let down.
When actually facing Ganon though, it did hold up since they had set him up with a castle to either sneak or battle your way through.</p>

The story and it&#39;s presentation
</h4>
<div id="outline-text-headline-5" class="outline-text-4">
<p>The base contents of the story in BotW is well presented and you immediately understand what happens.
Zelda, Link and the other heroes were overpowered, so Link was sent to regenerate while Zelda held up the fortress.
You wake up in a different world, where it seems that Ganon more or less has won, and you have to return to save Hyrule.
But to get more information, you have to find points that you can see in pictures.
These pictures have the issue of being in specific locations that are easy to miss for an adventurer.</p>

Here comes Tears of the Kingdom
</h2>
<div id="outline-text-headline-6" class="outline-text-2">
<p>So I got to borrow my friends old switch to play Tears of the Kingdom.
I bought the game myself, and a new pro controller to get to play it.
I started it and had mixed feelings quickly.
Hearing Fi from the sword did have me in tears when it broke though.</p>

Setting up servers

This approach has seeing how the docker logs look easier and I know that reverse proxy will be solved by itself.</p>
<p>
The issues arise when I try to understand why thing aren&#39;t working in the tools used however.
Docker-compose is kinda self contained, but both Nomad and Consul work as an overarching tool so trying to find out errors with them is harder.</p>

The latest issues
</h2>
<div id="outline-text-headline-2" class="outline-text-2">
<p>So, two days ago, I was trying to setup Jellyfin on my own server, but it started acting up in a weird way.
Services were shutting down as expected Nomad, but on the Consul side, it would just add on more and more services.
This made the reverse proxy Traefik not work or sending traffic to the wrong container.
Logging into the server via ssh and using the <code>deregister</code> command of Consul resulted in not finding the services.
After hours of searching I found <a href="https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/16351">this github issue</a> which made me able to manually deregister services.</p>
<p>
This was a temporary fix, I had to get to the root issue of the problem.
So today I sat down to try and figure things out.
Searching and searching for the issues, I find out that the problems are arising from the tokens used due to permissions.
But trying to find out how the permissions work, I am dumbfounded.
Reading through <a href="https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/security/acl/acl-policies">this</a> gives me nothing that helps me figure out how to actually use it.
It feels like you have to be into the entire system and know a bit of everything to even be able to use it.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-headline-3" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="headline-3">
After the fact
</h2>
<div id="outline-text-headline-3" class="outline-text-2">
<p>It got fixed eventually, but the threshold to get into certain systems feels overwhelming to me.
I am way more of getting the bare system, or it might be a bit more like the Unix philosophy of doing 1 thing good.
That way, the documentation of that program can be short and to the point rather than explain an entire ecosystem.
It would be harder to set up the communication between software though, so I understand why it exists, but I easily get frustrated by it.</p>

Hey,
I did a stoop and switch to lightmode a few days ago.
SO far, it feels comfy in someways.
I chose <a href="https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin">catppuccin latte</a> as the theme.
But what I don&#39;t fully get is how application such as discord are so very bad in lightmode.
Like, I am using a theme, <a href="https://github.com/catppuccin/discord">catppuccin discord</a>, to ensure that it looks like the rest of my laptop but it looks very off when it comes to notifications.
Seeing that a discord has a new message, is almost hidden.
This is also true for default theme, so it left me wondering if people think about light themes?
I sure haven&#39;t, since I primarily have used darkmode everywhere I can for the last years.
Spotify has not implemented this addition for ~10 years now, as seen in <a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Light-Mode-option/idi-p/730341">this request</a>.
It has 6k votes and is one of the ones with the most votes on the entire website.</p></description>

<p>
Anyway, I think the main thing that has really allowed me to do the switch is having a bluelight filter.
I have been using one on my desktop for ages, barely thinking about it.
My laptop has, however not had one due to mainly using it at day time and indoors.
So now, I can go out and use it and not be surprised when having sunlight at the screen while using it.</p>
<p>
All this was done to procrastinate instead of studying for my exams in 2 respective 4 days, lel ;P.</p>

Writing can be hard sometimes.
So just now, I am meant to be working on writing an essay and a report.
The essay is more in the social sort of way, due to it being meant for analysis in a course on ethics and the report is for my bachelor thesis.
Both of them are quite different from how I like to write about thing.
When I start writing about things, it is more in the form of realizing my thoughts or progressing through a topic where I have some information, while gathering more.</p></description>

The essay is more in the social sort of way, due to it being meant for analysis in a course on ethics and the report is for my bachelor thesis.
Both of them are quite different from how I like to write about thing.
When I start writing about things, it is more in the form of realizing my thoughts or progressing through a topic where I have some information, while gathering more.</p>
<p>
The essay is forcing me to take a stance and build up arguments from there so it is in the opposite order from what I am used to.
That is quite interesting to try and change my natural way of writing and what it leads to.
So far it feels way more one sided, due to me kinda already figured out my stance.</p>
<p>
The technical report means that I cant go on tangents which I like to do, when talking and writing.
Something that is related, that I want to explore, is something that I will write about.
There might be something that ends up being relevant or explain the context from where I am thinking.</p>
<p>
With this in mind, I think it makes sense that I have ended with a bit of writers block.
I could spend time, figuring out what I think before writing, but that seems inefficient.</p>
