Damnit, again I zoomed into my #ncmpcpp because I couldn’t hear the music …

Thanks @kosmikus for the last #haskell #unfolder episode. Yet, another example of me starting "Ah, well I know that topic." and leaving with "Oh, damn that explains the error message from last month."

[antifa] Really confusing how multiple people having a moral compass seems to look like a conspiracy from the outside.

As maintainer of nix-output-monitor I have an important public announcement: "AaaAAAAaaaAAAAAAaaAAAaaah!" Reasoning: At this point #nix, #lix and #determinatenix have three different json log formats. I think it is still possible to support them all in one parser at this point. But I already […]

An E-Mail I got from #deutschebahn. I admit that doesn't help my optimism.

Post mortem on the recent nixpkgs-bot outage was a friendly letter pinned to my door from the electricians which did work outside our house last week. 😂 Maybe we should migrate the bot to more reliable hosting? 🤔

PSA: nixpkgs-bot will remain out of order until I get into physical reboot distance on monday. 😆

You might have noticed that I generally computer a lot and I have a bit of experience with that stuff. So please believe me how surprised and delighted I am and how accomplished I feel now that I FIXED THE PRINTER!!! 🎉 🤩 🥳 Okay to be honest it took actually under 3 hours. 😆

I will be teaching the #nix track at #zurihac2025 🇨🇭 ⛰️ https://zfoh.ch/zurihac2025/ Looking forward to showing you all the best(TM) way to setup #haskell packages with Nix 😎 Maybe we can even upstream some Haskell packages to #nixos? 😆 I jumped in a bit on short notice and am still […]

Why are there 13 competing standards for pre commit hooks? There is https://pre-commit.com/ which is great and has dozens of hooks, so great that there is https://github.com/cachix/git-hooks.nix which nixifies it and has to declare all hooks again. Okay, now its nixified, that’s better I guess […]

PSA: The #nixpkgs bot on matrix @nixpkgs-bot:maralorn.de is currently recovering from a major outage. The underlying git repository got somehow corrupted a few weeks ago. Users had reported the outage but I thought it was just the usual my server is being ddosed by ai companies, so I didn’t […]

Me: Huh, new #nixos release, nice. Let’s have a look. Me: Huh, that changelog looks very tame, lots of changes but upgrading will be smooth sailing. Lets go. ... 3 minutes later … Me: Aaaah, my tiling window manager layout plugin got deprecated, all my keybindings are useless, I can’t use my […]

I love the episode image, https://well-typed.com/blog/2025/05/haskell-unfolder-episode-44-state-based-testing-with-quickcheck-lockstep/ however it is slightly overselling @kosmikus reaction. 😆 As always a very informative episode, thank you so much guys for the great channel. Its a bit sad […]

On my internal hit list of things that make IT terrible (containing classics like printer drivers and timezones) I think "#german #federalism" is quickly rising to overtake a really hard contender: The #caldav standard.

I think #xkcd is making a #monad joke here: https://xkcd.com/3085/ #haskell #burritos

Watch the new movie of the director of "Flying to COP to fight climate change": "Asking an AI to write me a nixos config which blocks AIs from scraping my nixos config" #contradictions #nixos #anubis #ai

[pol] I think the complete hypocrisy of western society is expressed in how much we are afraid of China doing to us what we have been doing to the rest of the world.

Es sind die kleinen Dinge im Leben, die es lebenswert machen. Zum Beispiel der Balken für die FDP. 😂
