Absolutely… imagine having nothing installed on your brand new NixOS, typing a command and end up in a shell with rust installed and ready to go… then exit, and have nothing installed, but still have the compiled binaries in the folder you started with…
These environments merely are based on configuration files in a git repository somewhere, so you can build yours and share them with collegues…
I am totally stoked at that point.
guys, what book should I listen to with audible while walking my dog?
looking for some newish informative stuff related to bitcoin or macroeconomy…
Started playing around with AI image generation… it’s pretty dope!
what’s a SHAKE256?

back at coding after a month of hiatus… let’s start with bip85 in bitcoinlib
J'savais pas que tu parlais français, Derek! Avoir su...
Backing is a concept that's required when custodians don't have all assets.

No need yo "back up" an asset with full reserves...
Thank god April's fools is ending...
The package manager seems to work on most OSes... it's a nice starting point to learn.
This is the way
Well it’s so different, but I can start by mentioning a single thing...
You know the feeling when you got a brand new Debian that you just installed with all your favorite packages… then a friend of yours suggests you should try somehting that’s not installed on your pristine OS but you can’t help but install it. Then you realize it’s not useful for you… at that point, and going forward, your Debian is polluted with libs you can’t uninstall easily so you live with the fact that they’ll stay there.
Over time, those things you try add up a ton of useless libs and you end up having to format your OS so you get back to that feel good pristine version.
With NixOS, you don’t even have to install an app to use it… it can download it, build it from source, execute it and trash it in a single command without leaving a trace behind. Once the command is done, you still have the same exact OS you had prior.
I have more to tell, but that’s enough for a nostr note, I guess.
So many things to learn, so little time….
Can’t wait to get back at relay coding, but damn… that NixOS rabbit hole is something… spent the whole week full time learning it and it feels I just barely scratched the surface.
I can already tell I won’t ever go back to "regular" linux distributions such as Debian, Red Hat or Fedora…
Wait, do relays log ips? 🤔
Pristine NixOS file structure…
That's got to be a paid feature
🤷♂️ just entered into the nix rabbit hole... can't tell yet.
getting deeper into the nix package manager rabbit hole… seems like it apparently has the most packages with the most up to date code of all pacakge managers, by a wide margin

Today is a sad day for me…
It pains me to say that I got to part with a significant amount of sats to pay for my full time open source development lifestyle that I love so much.
I find comfort in the realization that I am trading those to be able to keep pushing towards the well being of this community as much as I can. Makes me realize that people are more important than what I can personally own and it feels so good!
Seems like I have finally found a greater good to contribute to, after all these years. I am grateful for nostr and bitcoin to make it possible to increase people’s sovereingty just by writing code.
