Just posted my NixOS guide for enabling unstable applications in stable NixOS. I had to do a lot of messing around trying to figure this out as there were no guides on how to do this, just fractured ideas on forums, etc. Ended up being a pretty easy once I got it figured. I forgot to move the day to today when I posted, so it's backdated. Also, I noticed the formatting is fine on Habla, but all messed up on Highlighter... so read it on Habla.

Enable unstable applications in stable NixOS - mIX

Quick guide to adding unstable applications into NixOS stable. Good for getting the latest version of an application without going bleeding edge on...

While watching @RABBIT HOLE RECAP today I couldn't help but think that maybe @Fabian should get the Open Water domain from @ODELL for @Nostur? It would be a good client name. 😉 Spent waaaay to long trying to re-find that part in the conversation today... still failed. I couldn't remember the exact domain extension,. com?. The Youtube doesn't let you search words in the transcripts! Another missed opportunity by Google for Search. (Not surprised at all).

Happy Pizza Day! 🍕

It's just fiat trending toward zero.

I seriously want to know who kicked off the sats/bit discussion this time around? This is a distraction. #asknostr

GM. Hope you have a good Sunday. ☀️

If anyone is looking at getting a Bitcoin node setup, I would suggest looking at refurbished Dell Optiplex Micro computers. They sell for really cheap now that windows 10 is done and most don't support windows 11. 🤮 You can get them with 8GB RAM and a 250GB SSD for around $200 (CAD) (7050). Throw in a 2 TB NVMe (M.2) drive in it and you're ready to install node software that wants two drives like @npub1r29m...23pd or @Umbrel ☂️. You can install @Start9 as well, but I believe it only supports one drive (dont see an option for a second in my test rig) so everything would go on on the 2 TB drive. I like the first two options because the OS goes on the smaller drive and all the data (wallet, timechain and lightning channels) goes on the 2 TB drive. If the OS drive blows up, you just reflash the OS drive and continue on (after a small catch-up sync of the timechain). I prefer the Micro version of the Optiplex, since it barely takes up any space, but there are SFF and desktop size versions as well. Far superior to running a Pi and about the same price.
