Lost me at LLMs. My Nix config is over 20k lines long at this point, neatly split into more than a hundred modules and managing 8 physical machines and 30+ VMs. I love it.

But every time I've tried to use an LLM for nix, it has failed spectacularly.

Called their support. They were super nice, and then told me that if I still had access to my 2fa, I could simply add a second mail in my account without needing access to the first one.

Made total sense when stopping to think about it for a second 😄

Oh, yeah. Wasn't actually worried of the mails themselves (multiple devices which have all of them, plus a daily borgbackup offsite), it was just knowing that I NEED to fix this, now, because email is unfortunately kinda important.

Fun conundrum: had my personal mail as the only contact at my server provider. Requested a KVM for rescue. "Thank you for your request! We'll email you the link to your KVM access!" Gahhh.

Same. But also, I'll never forget the adrenaline when I actually legitimately fucked up once. Was a sweaty 2 hours of recovery.

Sorry, unfortunately can't help you there. My matrix server is not federated, I remember back then I created an account on matrix.org specifically to read these. But maybe they got deleted in the meantime?

Anyways, I have been really happy with continuwuity, to the point that up until now, I haven't even looked at tuwunel again. The maintainers of continuwuity seem really nice and engaged, and both from a usage and stability point of view, as well as for the actually surprisingly fast release cycle, I have no complaints. I found and fixed a bug a couple weeks ago, and the dev process was also very friendly and relaxed.

In short: while I don't know how things are on the tuwunel side, I'm very happy to have gone with continuwuity and have high hopes for the future of the project.

FWIW, I've been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

HOWEVER, I'm using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.

Almost 9k lunes of python in a bash script. Lmao. No.

Don't forget the almighty:

journalctl -fu <servicename>

And yes, I am always reading that as "fuck you, service".

Yeah, but unfortunately, the keyboard does not look promising.

I'm sure we will get there, eventually. Just an uphill battle... As always.

Hardware wise, we're basically there. Especially since there's multiple recently-ist mainstream phones on which you can install Linux.

UI/UX seems to be a nightmare though, plus missing software

Company went "here's your budget for ordering a laptop. Put on it whatever you want", and so there's NixOS running on it :)

(To be fair though: small-ish, tech focused company)
