I think in need to get rid of gnupg out of software stack... whenever I try software like age or deltachat I realize how bad it is.

So yeah, NixOS finally has a Mastodon module in tree :)
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/112898
That means you can now run your own Mastodon instance with less than 20 lines of declarative config.
@schmittlauch wird auch von einigen bekannten Namen aus der Nix community maintained.
@schmittlauch https://github.com/erictapen/mastodon-nixos/ kommt auch bald nach nix-community
This evening at 17:00 (Berlin time) we do a NixOS maintainer party via mumble for #rc3 You can also join without ticket: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-assembly-on-rc3/10682/11?u=mic92

#nixpkgs is now the package repository with the most packages. It has the most up-to-date packages for a long time.
https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/total
You can use those packages using the #Nix package manager on any #Linux distro, #macOS or #NixOS.
We achieve this with only 15% of the maintainers #AUR has (2. most packages). Imagine what we could achieve with that much package maintainers!
I maintain 22 packages myself including a custom kernel. It is quiet easy with Nix!
We will have a NixOS assembly on #rC3 https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-assembly-on-rc3/10682

Is some running Android with microg? How is the compatibilty these days? Any big pain points?
A lot of what is described in the article shows why mailings list are a stupid way of managing an open source project: https://www.downtowndougbrown.com/2020/08/hacking-up-a-fix-for-the-broken-appletalk-kernel-module-in-linux-5-1-and-newer/

I slightly improved a Nix joke, but it's still compiling.

The NixOS wiki has a pretty cool guide for debugging the Linux kernel: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Kernel_Debugging_with_QEMU
Someone build a gui for managing NixOS: https://github.com/pmiddend/nixos-manager
