Build for Linux from your Mac. It just works, with Determinate #Nix. Zero config.

Where do people get good stickers from? In the distant past I've used StickerMule.

Hey y’all, I could use help: if you’re using the determinate nix installer in GitHub actions and you’re seeing an increase in CI failures — let me know? We’re slowly rolling out a new version and suspect there is an edge case we haven’t covered.

So this merged: github.com/DeterminateS... (not yet released, see the linked comment)

An awkward UX issue of Determinate Nix is that we serve it from FlakeHub Cache, which has no unauthenticated access. We do that to make the auth backend very straightforward, avoiding complexity that could lead to leaking customer cache entries. But...

💪

The next release of Determinate Nix will start addressing two issues that commonly confuse our users: 1. `nix-channel` is deprecated, and using it will issue a warning. 2. Using an indirect flakeref or implicit registry input in a flake.nix will also raise a warning. >>>

Determinate Nix 3.3.1 is now out and folks, it is not playing games. We've added JSON logging to Nix and a whole new UX around fixing hash mismatches during Nix builds—and we've fixed some long-standing paper cuts to boot. determinate.systems/posts/change...

Determinate #Nix 3.2: we fixed the infamous `git add` error. Really.

Is this anything?

Let’s be real: any GitHub Action could expose your secrets at any time. Just look at the latest CVE uncovered in the popular tj-actions/changed-files Action. Static, long-lived secrets are a major 🚩. The solution? Don't rely on them, there is a better way. 🧵👇

@arrdem.com nice to find you again =)

@hankgreen.bsky.social my daughter is named Io, and ++ on your video about paying more attention to Jupiter's moons.

can we please just get a move on, and (1) make Ed25519 FIPS-140, and (2) get Ed25519 in HSMs and AWS KMS?

Autonomous Sensory Materials Lithography

This Firefox ToS hubbub is wild. It is amazing they didn't have one before. Lawyers like to spell out things like "If you type things into our program, we will do things with it." Which is the fundamental operating principle of a browser! You type things into it, and things happen!

How is it that most glasses companies take 7-10 days, when there are plenty of companies that will get them to you next day?

To support streamlined NixOS deployments to AWS, we now offer Determinate NixOS AMIs that come with Determinate Nix and fh, the CLI for FlakeHub, installed. Authenticate with STS, apply your configuration, and you're off to the races. https://determinate.systems/posts/nixos-amis

Evidently, GitHub Actions' API has no way to trigger a workflow, and then know the ID of the run that was triggered.

Maps, being so utterly political, are touched by the digital age. Online maps present different boundaries and names depending on where you are.

Hey @quinnypig.com, is it possible AWS support actually gets >500 cases per second? At that rate, is it better to send a thank you reply, or is it more polite to silently resolve closed tickets to avoid extra messages?

Do I know any swift devs that do contract work? I’ve got a project!

Winter runners, how different is it to run at 4F than 10F?

Unfortunately, due to GitHub Actions Cache API changes, the free Magic Nix Cache support is near end of life. TL;DR: * Upgrade to FlakeHub Cache and get a month free * Free cache for OSS * GitHub Enterprise Server is unaffected 🔗

Incoming: a lot of normies angry about the monty hall problem.

Me as a user: Firefox is so important for society as a whole Me, staring at a bug that only happens on Firefox: ok but like

It’s my favorite time of year: when the garage windex freezes solid.

I know, I know. Chili is traditionally vegan but sometimes I like to throw a little bit of ground meat in.

This aggression will not stand, @nytimes.com. You can’t have sandwiches and put grinder in a different category.

I love it when folks describe how they're committing tax fraud on amateur radio.

YouTube knows me well enough to know that yes, I do want to watch Snow Plowing Techniques - Winter Operations Training from Iowa DOT. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJl3...

Get you a partner who looks at you like my four year old looks at his vacuum.

I’m pretty sure this thing evolved from some kind of flightless manicotti.

macOS dev skeeters, why doesn’t my menu bar extra item appear? 😭

FYI people who solder: you need and omnifixo.

(not having read the news in weeks) hey y'all thinking about switching from BCBS to UHC. Any opinions?

Web friends, can you help me make Firefox do what I want? In Chrome, this text copies and pastes as "helloworld!" which I like. Any tips on getting Firefox to do the same thing? Right now Firefox pastes as: hello world! Codepen: codepen.io/gchristensen...

San Francisco friends, I'll be at Ritual Coffee Roasters on Valencia from ~9 to ~11. Signal me (grahamc.34) if you want to come hang out! You can AMA, hack on something, whatever.

Crazy that Apple went from to

I think a lot of heartache would go away if IDs you didn’t control weren’t treated as numbers.

THUS SPOKE THE LICH!

That feeling when you click a link, chrome opens a new tab, and the tab immediately closes.

Pop quiz, no cheating: If you have setuid binaries in ./ and then you run: sudo chown -R 0:0 ./ …are those binaries now setuid?

1. `jj` is really cool. 2. I would not be using it if I didn't have a fan on my team, responding to the `jj`-signal. I’m often delighted by what jj does and how it works.

It'd be so cool if `curl` supported SRV records.
