I have been working on Aux's burgeoning package set, nicknamed Tidepool. In developing this project I've had the opportunity to rethink many of the design decisions that other projects like Nixpkgs have made. One notable change is the use of the module system to declare packages rather than functions operating on plain values around a fixed point. These changes have wide-reaching implications for users which requires each to be thoughtfully considered. One such implication is overrides. Overr...| kilo.bytesize
A torrent of emotions and frustration have engulfed the Nix Community, however one may define it. Tensions between contributors are high, tensions between non-contributors are high. There is no joy in such an environment.

A spoon may be useful for eating soup, but it is also adequate for digging a hole in dirt. These...| kilo.bytesize
Lately I have seen history repeating itself in the software world. Bun hit the scene with a remarkable response from web developers praising the tool for fixing many long-standing issues with NodeJS. Many of these problems were discussed at length in the NodeJS community and development circles, but all reached their dead ends the same ways: we can't do this, it would break the spec; we can't do this, it would be wrong; we can't do this, it would be incompatible. Seemingly impossibly then, Bu...| kilo.bytesize
Setting up GPU passthrough on Linux can be tedious at the best of times. NixOS makes some parts of this process easier, but still requires many manual steps as of today. This guide will cover the steps necessary to enable passthrough, create a virtual machine, install Windows, and configure passthrough and Looking Glass for your VM. Preparation ISO Downloads Before doing anything, make sure you have a recent ISO of Windows 10 (or Windows 11, though you may run into some incompatibilities with...| kilo.bytesize

Over the years Nix adoption has grown dramatically, and, with it, sharing of Nix projects has grown as well. This need to consume one pro...| kilo.bytesize
