I built my development flake for this website with the FlakeHub CLI . That flake uses pkgs.mkShell to load in binary dependencies to the development environment. I run zsh defined and configured by nix-darwin, so it was pretty jarring getting thrown into a plain bash shell when running nix develop. Luckily the fix is simple. Rather than just running nix develop, run: nix develop -c $SHELL and your normal shell will be run i..

I recently got a new computer and am spending some time actually digging into Nix for managing dependencies. My main issue the last time I tried using Nix was how tough it was for me to wade through the documentation, so I was determined to try a different path this time. I started off with the very opinionated Zero to Nix tutorial series, which I thought was a great introduction. After learning about Nix and Flakes, and getting my webs....

I do some volunteer sysadmining for a local non-profit, mostly network management and related things. Between there, and my home setup, I have gradually moved from defaulting to Ubuntu back towards FreeBSD over the last year. Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but I kept finding FreeBSD to simply be a little bit easier and a lot better documented . For a dev box, I'll stick with linux—all the tooling optimizes there first, in particular the contai....

A few weeks ago there was a meme floating around about if you spend using a physical $50 bill, it will remain a fifty dollar bill. But if you spend that same fifty bucks with a credit card - that fifty bucks gets whittled away by credit card processing fees and bank fees and just because fees.

Part two When it comes to writing, if I can’t keep things concise, I like to keep them entertaining. Unfortunately childhood bullying doesn’t lend itself well to either of these goals, much more when it remains such a raw topic to me. Whilst I’ve already dedicated two posts to the topic, I still have a few things which I either failed to mention, or felt didn’t fit in with either post. With it being a few days since I powered through w....

I've been trying out a relatively new config file format called KDL . It's pronounced "cuddle" and here's a very quick run-down of what it's for and why I find it worth experimenting with. It's a general purpose data language that feels mostly like a blend of JSON, command line, and XML. So it would be useable for use cases including configuration files, data interchange, and data storage, but so far I've only been considering it for the u....

Phew, that’s a lot of Is. The terms like Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Digital Public Goods (DPG) have been used liberally at the G20 summit, and UPI is India’s poster child for all of this. This post will be a summary of a rabbit hole I dug about UPI, NPCI, and other things. NPCI is the National Payments Corporation of India which is legally a non-profit controlled and funded by the RBI and a bunch of (mostly public) banks.
