This document contains some ideas for additions to the Nix language.

Motivation

The Nix package manager, Nixpkgs and NixOS currently have several problems:

• Poor discoverability of package options. Package functions have function arguments like enableFoo, but there is no way for the Nix UI to discover them, let alone to provide programmatic ways to

How to cross compile Go with CGO programs for a different OS/Arch

It is possible to compile Go programs for a different OS, even though go build says otherwise.

You'll need:

• a valid toolchain for the platform/os you're targetting
• Go Tip (works on 1.1 and 1.2rc1 but you might as well be on tip)
• golang-crosscompile helper script https://github.com/davecheney/golang-crosscompile
• the patch provided

Setup interface eth1 and configure the DHCP/DNS server

configure
 
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 192.168.2.254/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 description "eth1 - LAN"
set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex auto
set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed auto

Semiprivate Keys

🚨 DANGER: INSECURE! 🚨

This may have seemed like a great idea in 2013, but the repeated "set/clear bits", a.k.a. clamping phases at each level of the hierarchy slowly subtract key strength.

Don't use this as described. Check out Ristretto.

Semi-private keys are an expansion of the traditional idea
