Just published an episode about nix-effects: A pure Nix toolkit for effectful programs, typed validation, verified boundaries, and description-backed DSLs. If you were trying to understand what this means then we're on the same boat. during the episode I have asked the author of nix-effects, Mika Bohinen, all of the dumbest questions and, who knows, maybe even some good ones. To me it seems that nix-effects takes programming in Nix language to the next level and I'm looking forward for a good enough excuse to try it. It is already in use by several projects in the ecosystem. Listen in.

Nix and NixOS are almost too good to be true. Isolation, libraries coexisting, transparent binary cache and software that just works. Not works on my machine, just works. But is that always the case? Or... Did we manage to get ourselves into... impurities? Join us for a discussion about libGL and find out what anomalies lurk in the dark depths of our operating systems.

In Nix Freaks 28 mschwaig, kiara, toastal and I discussed whatever Nix things were on our minds. Public interfaces: flake outputs versus vanilla overlays, NixOS in ZFS home encryption (which sounds cool to me), mirrored boot partitions and more.

unflake and The Great Nix Flake Check; an episode with the author of unflake, Max, and toastal to help out with smart questions. unflake is an alternative dependency resolver and runtime for Nix flakes. Max, the author of unflake, ran a huge nix flake on more than 7,000 flakes and shared insights and interesting tidbits with us. Check out this latest installment of The Lock-Files.
