Sorry for the few of you who couldn't get there new machine running! The bug is fixed! (and I increased your balance 😜) New users now have 2 days free trial! We are moving on! 💪 "ssh -6 crocuda.com" #vps #ipv6 #nixos https://crocuda.com/

I am done with websites! Here me out...TUI over SSH 💁 #rust https://crocuda.com/

Can't advocate enough for sops-nix for secret sharing under #nixos! 🤐 It takes some times to understand at first. You may go back and forth on the doc. But you'll be grateful for the overall simplicity it provides. #git #devops https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix

Back pain, Neck pain, Wrist pain, Huge chances the keyboard is at fault! Should you switch keyboard layout? 🤔 https://unkel.io/blog/colemak-mod-dh/ #programming #developers

Best feature (as of today) is the preconfigured #ssh server! 🤘 #linux #vps https://crocuda.com

I am updating the documentation, so you can get a grasp of the user interface from your phone! #linux #kvm #ratatui #vps #cloud https://crocuda.com/docs/main/

Are we snix yet? #nix #meme https://snix.dev/

New pattern shamefully unlocked! 🏆 All this time and I kept using ".unwrap()" in my async blocks 🐒 Whereas specifying the *return type* allows you to propagate errors with "?" 😯 async { my_func()?; Result::<(),std::io::Error>::Ok(()) } What other great patterns did I just miss along the […]

Programming is harsh, frustrating. You can be stuck an a problem for days to the point you can't push anymore. You're giving up. But if you take your time, one step after another, and get through... you'll look back and see that you've built something much more valuable than those few lines of […]

it'a #nix world! #nixos #meme

Spent weeks on a Halloween theme but still got no #ipv6 support after years ? 💩 I am definitely switching to @radicle 👻 #programming #github

#linux #isp #network #meme

Yeah boy! ! This how you switch generation! 🔥 https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-cli #nixos #tui

Time to refurbishe my #nixos command line! - List your generations "nixos generations list" - Switch to n generation "nixos generation switch 43" - Automatic rollback on failure. And a lot more features!! 😍 https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-cli

My #nixos server "anti- fuck up" guidelines: - Never reboot ❌ - Never rebuild switch ❌ - Always deploy with deploy-rs (magic rollback) 🎉 What are yours for an unbreakable server? #linux #homelab

Don't worry! I will implement every most wanted features on #pipelight. I was working on other tools and now know exactly how to write that code. 💪 All features come to those who waits 😉 https://github.com/pipelight/pipelight

Crocuda VPS now has its conversation for testers and early adopters at: https://matrix.to/#/!AeRGprxTpZQHNTeJFi:matrix.org?via=matrix.org I will open the #ssh gate this coming week! https://crocuda.com/

Does anybody know of a #rust crypto money payment processor? or someone that is developing one? I would like to contrib or else make one! #linux #foss #selfhosted

The #rust compiler is a baby trotter for grown ups.

@Ratatui user wants fancy terminal color gradient. Those gorgeous colors that @charmcli only has the secret for. 🤗 #rust https://github.com/F-77777/tui-gradient-block

I was afraid to separate from #qwerty, because I feared a lack of support for alternative layouts on my everyday apps. Guess what! The switch was painless thanks to people sharing there dots here and there. ☺ I share mine in return 😘 with #colemak (dh) support for: #nvim #vim #kitty #fish (vim […]

#networkmanager already has a very handy per connection MAC address randomization option. But just in case, I always generate a new MAC address to decorrelate network operations (L2) from the hardware real address. 😇 #nixos #dhcp #ipv6 How do you obfuscate your hardware addresses?!

If you are using #nvim as an ide you should try running it inside #neovide. The experience is completely different than from inside a terminal! - Keep your curent config + 10 lines configuration. - Never loose the cursor again. - Smooth scrolling, out of this world! - No more graphical […]

A good day sometimes starts by spitting at microsoft! Let it out! 😌 #sysadmin #programming

#Hyprland as a scrolling window manager was good, but breaking changes and mesa compatibilities issues wounded my experience. Enter #niri. - Stable as f* , - Scrolling built-in! - Greatly contributable, thanks to #rust and accessible code source. The feature that made me do the leap? You can […]

We asked for innovation in server renting but been spoon fed vendor lock-in #serverless trap instead. I am hungry for a new kind of #vps, so I rolled up my sleeves and made some real things at https://crocuda.com The alpha is however still closed and getting more stress tests. But I'll keep […]

So @radicle is planning on better integration with #jujutsu 💕 And it is not even christmas! 😲 Both projects evolve at an astonishingly fast pace, with each patches bettering my experience with #git . There is no doubt to me that the future of code collaboration revolves around them both […]

Another day into @Ratatui intricacies! And I may have found a pretty useful pattern. - Every app component is built with a builder (#bon crate) that injects a readable reference to a global context. (Arc<RwLock<Context>> and ctx.read()) Thus rendering changes instantly on context change. - An […]

How was I ignoring the power of Arc<Mutex<T>> as a Struct field for so long. Using async #rust, you can just clone a struct and pass it to multiple concurrent thread. Modify your variable in one and immediately react to changes in the other. Mutex and Mpmc channels seems to be both needed for […]

Why would you choose when you can do both? Static + privacy adresses 🔥 Let's give them users a shit ton of #ipv6!! #linux #vps #virtualization #dhcp

Yeah, #nixos can be good on the desktop for developers who wants easy dev environments. But it really shines on servers! -Build a custom disk image in one command, and slap it on bare metal. -Spin up a load of #vm based on your own images. -Push updates to your server fleet in one go. It […]

Sorry #pipelight users I had the master branch down for at least a week! I didn't push fixes from the dev branch, as it is the branch I am running locally so I just thought the problem was gone. Sily dev 🙈

The more your @Ratatui TUI grows, the more striving for simplicity will push you to implement the event driven pattern! Using only a global app state (through mutex) have its limitations. Don't be afraid to send events through #rust communication channels, as their is some amazing templates for […]

If you had the choice, which messenger would you use for a #privacy focus customer support? - signal - irc - ssh-chat 😂 - other? #linux #vpn #vpshosting

Add #ssh keys to your #virshle #vm. Write a user-data.toml file and pass it to the VM upon startup! v vm start --id <vm_id> --user_data <user_data_filepath> Then ssh into the machine 😎 ssh vm/<vm_name> https://github.com/pipelight/virshle #linux #kvm #virtualization #nixos

Hookup culture! When wide open is the new sexy! 😏

@YaLTeR Is there a plan to add a niri msg(ipc) to change window border color or other theming properties on the fly?

I am in holidays but I couldn't resist the urge to program another hotkey daemon inspired by (stolen from) #niri , #Hyprland and #swhkd. Once again, doing baby steps! 😀 https://github.com/pipelight/mudras

Did you know? You can #ssh into a local #vm without any network configuration via a special unix socket #vsock... `ssh vm/my-new-machine` 👌 I couldn't resist the urge to add it to #virshle Available on next push to master 🙂 https://github.com/pipelight/virshle

First deployment was easy, thanks to #nixos. But I still have to simplify the installation process for you to use it at home. 🤘 go go #virshle! https://github.com/pipelight/virshle And we have a logo now! 😊 #vm #linux #rust

First production deployment for #virshle (the virtual machine manager) on this late friday night! I use #nixos nothing can go wrong!... 🙂 nothing can go wrong, does it?! #linux #kvm #vps #programming https://github.com/pipelight/virshle

The documentation gets more clear! 🤓 I almost forgot to tell that #virshle was a daemon now! Which means, one can manage multiple #vm on remote servers through a single cli. #rust #cloud-hypervisor #ipv6 #nixos #linux https://github.com/pipelight/virshle

Thinking of #libvirt and #xml gives me itches 😨 That's why I've been baking a simpler virtual machine manager with: - #vm declaration in #toml, - And easy #network configuration, Thanks to #rust and #nixos#libvirt things are getting increasingly smoother... 😇

No more fooling around! Display the reeeaaal file size with #eza and the ` -b` flag. 🥳 #linux

https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/06/26/Rust-1.88.0/ Houraay!! Can't wait to write: if let Some(x) = x && if let Some(y) = y && if let Some... 😄😄😄 #rust

What do you use for #dhcpv6 ?

Do you struggle to organise the multiple repo you #git cloned for exploration ? Those days are over, #ghr keeps your clones tidy! - fast listing - fuzzy search + multi device synchronisation #linux #developers #rust #nixos https://github.com/siketyan/ghr

You wait foreverfor some #nix flakes to build an output, then only can you build another one 😓 The freshly built one erases the previous one from the build (./result) directory 😵 #sysadmin emotional damage! Next time you could: • Use a unique build dir […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
