I like computers and cats. ちょっと日本語上手。にゃー Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/rosscomputerguy

San Diego, California, USA
I write posts and try to do them daily or at least weekly. Check out my site (tristanxr.com/) for my latest posts. I often write about topics like ARM, RISC-V, NixOS, and things I am interested in or involved in.

Cats are social but have more boundaries than dogs. People mistake those boundaries as being solitary. Cats are more independent than dogs but that doesn't mean they're totally independent.

This is actually something I didn't know. Wasn't aware one of the designers transitioned in the 90's. There's a lot of hate for DEI related things nowadays but people forget what people who fit into "DEI" actually have brought into this world.

My sister is half white, half Chinese. She doesn't look ugly in any way. I also worked with someone in the past who's half white, half Japanese and he looks great. There's also The Anime Man, a half Australian and half Japanese YouTuber and he doesn't look bad at all.

NixOS's infra got moved to 25.05 today, I message on the NixOS matrix and mjolnir decides to remove all of my messages. I was the one who updated mjolnir and I had fixed it during ZHF so I think it's out for revenge or something.

Recently started a project called Nomics, it's far from ready but some of the internal components are starting to work. It's built on NixOS and will utilize libvirt, NixOS containers, & Docker to provide a Proxmox like system but put together in Nix.

With my 128 core Ampere Altra workstation, I was able to cross compile and port the Determinate Nix daemon to RISC-V. It can run in QEMU usermode emulation and on the DC ROMA II.

A great thing with Nix I've been enjoying is when some special feature of a package breaks its dependencies. Unlike other PM's, Nix will rebuild dependencies when the dependency has changed in any way. This can be leveraged to find incompatibilities. This allows us to guarantee compatibility more even if things break. We can report to package developers when their stuff breaks in cases they haven't tested for but claim to support.

I think when you think of nix itself and not nixpkgs, this is very applicable. Nix itself is a very great tool and piece of technology. However, nixpkgs is lacking in certain areas. Though it is improving.

This isn't at runtime, this is comptime. Those "ifdef" changes the code generated based on the platform the compiler is targeting.

Ampere is a good platform for doing embedded NixOS development. I can just compile everything I need and shove it into an sdcard. In an hour, it can get a lot of work done.
