Hello #NixCon, no lightning talk for me but enjoy a ridiculous selection of Linux boot themes - including the this + past two years and some selected shadertoy themes.

Customly hacked together plymouth patched - codex made

#NixCon2026 #NixOS

Still work in progress! But you can now enjoy this and the previous two years of #NixCon #NixOS as an animated #plymouth #linux theme.

Tested on Intel and qemu so far.

Including webgl based live browser preview and a
copy/pasteable flake example is at the bottom.

Made with codex.

Let me know if you gave it a try

did u know, #systemd can now run #docker images natively, kinda

it's really nice

just needs two commands:

sudo importctl --class=machine pull-oci docker.io/library/alpine:latest alpine

sudo systemd-nspawn -M alpine /usr/bin/env sh -l

thank you @pid_eins@mastodon.social, I've spent several days/weeks in the past implementing this myself with hoops calling system-nspawn with my own docker layer overlayfs/bindmounts. Really hyped replacing this with that work.

If HTTP status codes are so good - then why do they end at 599 already?

HTTP 600 too much fun
HTTP 667 off by one

Replying to
@zvyn@chaos.social you just have one major component less on your system, this allows a vanilla OS + the nspawn executables to provide containers. You're not dependend on another company but a well established project with long term maintenance track record.

@tivasyk@awawa.club https://finit-project.github.io/#features is quite nice, long term project inspired by eeepc's proprietary init system has a lot of modern features such as cgroups, sd_notify, ... But also, you seem to be a bit confused systemd is on the one hand an init system, but it's also a suite of a lot of smaller utilities that build upon the basic principles and features of the init system. If your init rightfully already takes care running processes under certain user ids, cgroup, seccomp you might as well also define a container that way 🤷

@sinza@bitbang.social hmmm interesting to know! I wonder what the lowest possible footprint is, `cryptsetup benchmark` might give some clues for low-memory methods. Key derivation function might also be something that has negative impacts on unlocking memory footprint

Really enjoying Kubernetes for the most part. Also the level of abstraction is just super cool, being able to operate on that level with resources and also the resource definitions themselves is just wonderfully powerful

Best part about good tools like NixOS are the daily appreciations you get to experience.

Seems stalwart is having some "enthusiasts" on GitHub that are mostly behaving rude and entitled. People fight over Dockerfiles over there 😆

@arnar@floss.social Yes of course I didn't forget! How do you interact with the kubernetes API and how do you do state management? Sorry if I missed that. I feel that's the exciting part for me with what comes with nixops4, also because it integrates on a wider set of providers because of terraform providers. :) your docs and website looks even better than last time I checked.
