I have a few toy utility apps that I run 24/7 on cloud infrastructure. One example is PicoShare, a simple web app that makes it easy for me to share files with friends and teammates. There are several convenience apps I would run if it were easy to run them constantly. But there’s enough friction to running even a simple app 24/7 that I don’t do it. In the past, I’ve tried running toy apps on my home server.| mtlynch.io

In creating the tutorial, “Installing NixOS on Raspberry Pi 4,” I ran into a ton of paths that didn’t work. I’ve collected them here for the sake of saving others time retrying the same steps. The standard NixOS aarch64 image doesn’t work When I checked the NixOS download page, I saw that they offered 64-bit ARM images. NixOS offers bootable images for 64-bit ARM systems “Wonderful!” I thought to myself, as the Pi 4 has a 64-bit ARM CPU.| mtlynch.io
