if this happens to you. DO CONTACT A COPYRIGHT LAWYER. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TALK TO THE PEOPLE THREATENING TO SUE YOU. THEIR STANDARD SETTLEMENT CONTAINS ADMISSION OF GUILT WHICH MEANS YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SCREWED NEXT TIME. AND YOU CAN NEGOTIATE THE PRICE. DO NOT TALK TO THEM WITHOUT A LAWYER.

I actually think running agents inside nix derivations is not a terrible idea.

I don't think I ever spent as much money per minute in my life as here in Zurich. This is actually not okay. How do people live here.

Like. Even with their high salaries it doesn't make sense. This place makes less sense than Bay Area

Thanks for all coming to my all systems go talk. I'm currently working on a PR to add deep integration with SPIRE to NixOS. A prototype of it is available inhttps://github.com/arianvp/nixos-stuff/tree/master/modules/spire including NixOS tests as demoed in the talk if you want to already take a peak. It has some patches that didn't land in upstream spire yet though (most notable socket activation support).The attestation plugin I demoed will be released at a later point. It needs more work to be generally useful and I haven't decided on license yet.

There are already some early adopters. Notably https://afnix.fr is using it for workload identity for their workload VMs in their internal cloud.Excited what else people will build with it.

I'd suggest people vote for folks with a lot of nixpkgs experience. There are some candidates with almost no experience at all (only a handful of commits. All of them automated package bumps to a few packages). And I don't think they'll have the insight to understand the issues we need to solve.

@alina @pid_eins i thought about it for a night and it doesn't solve it. Can still be that nss_systemd itself is ABI incompatible with a program that you load with older glibc :(

Hot take: NixOS needs to be more political to be successful. Y'all are just TERRIBLE politicians yapping about irrelevant details in Discourse all day instead of building and lobbying politicians and lawmakers.I want to see NixOS as the driver of EU digital sovereignty and the main OS of choice for High assurance, hyperscaler workloads in the Post-USA cloud economy. This is a hyper political direction but it's the way forward.Remove reliance on crumbling US big tech. Bootstrap the EU economy for the next five decades. That's the goal I have. And I will make it happen.

You know who currently is the best NixOS political lobbying group? Anduril. Y'all are gonna be all angry that I said it but it is absolutely 100% fact. If you are serious about not wanting Anduril to consume the space you have to play Anduril games. Start lobbying. Start making more contacts with local and EU lawmakers. Set up workstreams in standardisation groups. Bootstrap OSPOs. Get involved with journalists writing about digital sovereignty. Start marketing.

Party trick to drastically improve security on server workloads: Stop listening to compliance roleplayers. Add your ssh key to /root/authorized_keys and remove sudo from your systemFor real. the security you gain by not having setuid binaries on your system far outweigh the "aaa but you cant login as root!!!!! kneejerk"

The fact that Google rewards AI slop over the original content scares the fuck out of me. It's the first time I witnessed it myself by someone plagiarizing my work.
