Great presentation, thank you! I'm a nix user since 2021 and built a number of configurations over the years. I take lots of new ideas from Jon's setup. Incredible craftsmanship!
Huh. So Tailscale is basically like a more convenient ssh or something? That sounds really useful when trying to connect from one device to another. Also, is _that_ why pipewire has been scratching so much? I swear, it was driving me crazy to the point of switching back to pulseaudio. If that's really all it takes to fix things, just disabling something, why is that not the default? Also why is this video the first place I'm seeing this? If this works, then this video might just singlehandedly redeem pipewire in my eyes. Edit: I'm now adding that wireplumber file to my config and rebuilding... through a browser window using tailscale to ssh into... the same machine the browser is on. :P
Tailscale is like a VPN so you install it on your devices and they can connect to each other inside or outside of the network without any port forwarding, but it doesn't route your traffic through a node either so its very low latency.
Man this subject seems incredibly esoteric. I consider myself to be quite a computer nerd and was rather lost. Although I don't know too much about Linux system so that certainly plays a factor.
Wonderful intro to Nix and NixOS!
Thank you, Chris!

Great session, loved it.
As a Nix user and contributor I must say that it was very well presented and explained. Great job !
This is day one for me for Nix and NixOS, and this brought it all together for me. Well done!

13:13 Is that kind of like `npx`?
NPX is a very good analogue for ‘nix shell‘, yes

your cred is slipping. install debian and arch and fedora on an old machine you aren't using any more and get up to date
You’re a computer nerd but you don’t know much about linux… lmaoo something isnt adding up 😂 you macbook script kiddies crack me up
his british accent makes me believe him a lot more
Nix is amazing. Easy to install and use. Doing anything to it - or making any changes to it is beyond the grasp of most average noobs.
Yay Eelco Dolstra!
