I see. I see a lot of people use specialized tools, e.g. nix-wrapper-modules or app specific like nixvim, but I prefer keeping my conf files in the original language

so I created my own symlink manager for that, that also deals with different OSes, and is lua configurable. Will prob keep using that

Alright, question: One thing I did not like about NixOS was managing dotfiles. I found I end up preferring something like chezmoi, or now my own symlink manager.

Home Manager vs NixOS package management also has always seemed superfluous

Do you all use home manager? And to manage dotfiles too?

I don't want to go back to not being able to `pnpm install global` and having to decipher build errors and writing derivations 😭

I've got my neovim theme-from-wallpaper generator working across ssh to apply to my work machine today.

How's your day going?

Excited to be starting at Attio this week! Having a great time so far, promising times ahead. Really happy with the path I've chosen.

That way they're gating you in, so you don't go off and use some other modles for certain tasks, instead using claude for everything

01.02.2026 20:23 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Same reason why they made the claude subscription only available to claude code/the claude website

i’m not a fan of the increase in anti-social behavior we’re seeing in the Atmosphere developer community lately… there’s snark, making fun of newcomers’ mistakes, fixations on perceived slights, & even some targeted aggression/hubris

this too is Atmosphere pollution and will not help any of us

thats so cool, looks great! I've been itching to start a frontend for my self-hosted music myself

A dark-themed UI design system titled "Kickback" in orange. In the top right, a dropdown menu labeled "THEME" is set to "System." Under a large "Components" heading, a "BUTTONS" section displays four buttons: "PRIMARY ACTION" (orange), "SECONDARY ACTION" (purple), "DELETE ITEM" (red), and "OUTLINE STYLE" (black with white border). Below, a "DETAILS & DISCLOSURE" section features two expanded menus with orange side accents. The first is "What is Kickback?", containing the text: "Kickback is a modern music library manager built for people who care about their collection. It integrates with Beets to keep your metadata pristine." The second is "Advanced Configuration," containing the text: "You can configure your library path in the settings menu," followed by an underlined "OPEN SETTINGS" button.

I spent way too much time doing these simple components. Inspired by GOV.UK's design system, I'm trying to build a personal app that doesn't rely on complicated components for a change.

Yup I like using opencode thoughtfully, for things that I don't mind being that lazy about, or where I'm better at editing than creating. So for some boilerplate basically

Yeah ofc I did! Just taking my time to go through all albums. I like to listen to them with attention, so I pick the best moment.

Will check them out as well, thanks for the rec!

honestly even if it was less, i think its okay. The engagement i get here has been honestly higher quality too.

Tech Xitter is now only people updating themselves on their AI workflows. Which has its place, but its becoming monotone

I just don't use it for music

Hey thanks for the feedback! There should be workarounds for all of those tbh. I can share some playgrounds, but if you could share a svelte REPL with what you're doing I may be able to help better

Saw a Reddit post about a show that was ai upscaled in a streaming service.

Self hosting media becomes more and more appealing every day. When movies and music gets replaced by crappy versions and you can't access the original ones... Its so backwards
