I've been slacking on my Nix learning. I finally looked up how to update dev environments (all environments actually) to minty fresh versions. Simply run the following commands:
$ sudo nix-channel --update
$ nix-env --u always
And that's it. Now you will have the newest versions of all your stuff next time you run
$ nix run -f shell.nix
Getting rolling with nix has a much steeper learning curve than I imagined. It seems one should treat it more like learning a full programming language, rather than just a simple utility.
So progress is slow, but I have good successes. The one I'll talk about today isn't really nix related as much. Fish is a really nice shell to use, but has some serious pain points when trying integrate the thing with the rest of ones system. The reason for both of these is the same: it ditches posix compliance. In practice that means that using the friendly interactive shell and writing scripts for it is a dream. Also none of your environment like paths, etc work really, because they are configured through posix compliant shell scripts...
Of course you can setup paths oneself, and do all the other things, but it is a giant pain point, and it's difficult to do so in a cross platform way. Which means that my shell configuration in my dotfiles is useless.
So my daughter is into Roblox lately, and she's always wanting to use my machine so she can "stream".
Meanwhile, recently my employer allowed me to trade in this god aweful 90 pound laptop for a Macbook that is actually reasonbly nice to work with.
In general I like to keep my work and personal life separated, but this Mac makes it really easy to create encrypted volumes, and I'd already broke down a bit and created a separate Firefox profile. Meanwhile, I've been eyeing nix and thinking about revamping my dotfiles...
So in order to do this, I wanted to make sure that since my work computer doesn't belong to me,
I have a great little sub $20 bluetooth headset that I've been too lazy to get working on my laptop. I run Void Linux because for me systemd creates more headaches than it solves and I prefer minimalism for a machine beholden to a battery. Similarly I consider PulseAudioto have an unacceptable level of overhead for what it brings to the table. So my goal is to get my headphones working on my laptop with these constraints.
Unfortunately the [Bluetooh page of the Void Wiki][void-wiki] is less than useless. I should probably go back and add some stuff for them one of these days. Fortunately the [Bluetooth page of the Arch Wiki][arch] is more helpful, but not 100% precise.
You will need to install Bluez with # xpbs-install -Sy bluez and add yourself to the bluetooth group with the command
# useradd -G bluetooth . You might want to log out and back in at this point. This way you can make sure your
