Building desktop rust apps is a pain on NixOS. Among a few other issues that just shouldn't happen, I'm considering going to bluefin + nix instead.

I like Gnome v50. Its nice and simple.

Ignoring all the scuffed things you might have to do on a NixOS system, the end result is really a marvel. As an ex-Arch user, I feel like NixOS is a huge step above. I am truly in control of my system.

I went back to linux yesterday. I've been tweaking and configuring this machine for hours each day. Wont stop until its perfect. (NixOS btw)

Heyo @aly.codes I've since split to a bunch of modules and am now running nixos along side nix-darwin. https://github.com/metruzanca/nixfiles I've also been slowly learning about "dendritic" and might adopt it down the road but for now, my setup is simple.

Gnome shell v50 is pretty sleek. I might stay longer than expected.

Was listening to @syntax.fm's ep with @zed.dev's @nathansobo.bsky.social . Delta seems super cool! I really appreciate what the Zed team are doing with GPUI in general. I'm trying my best to build a few apps with it but cant wait to see the ecosystem grow.

Today I learned Nix uses lazy evaluation of values. Today I learned I don't like lazy evaluation of values. People complain about javascript hoisting, then some sects of FP-cult happily and eagerly implement something far worse. smh

Hey @leaflet.pub have you guys considered a "comment" block that is rendered in editor but not on page? Could be useful for drafting with editor/writer notes. Its how I usually write my posts in markdown via html style comments.

Proton be like. To be fair, it probably doesn't know how much is being stored.

Just bought a new domain for an idea. Will I use it? Who knows.

My main editor progression: Bloodshed IDE > VS2013 > VS2015 > VS2017 + Sublime > Atom > Vscode > cursor > Zed > and now, I might move to Helix. Had helix installed for over a year but never learned the motions beyond super super basics like opening the file picker. Excited for Steel plugins

Ran out if rice, oops. Beef and potato stew, made with my parner's love. @cmgriffing.bsky.social

I stopped using worktrees with agents nearly as often, instead I now tell it to commit their hunks. Not perfect of course, if changes are very complex and interwoven in the same files, it can get confused fast. But if working on separate changes, they can be in the same worktree.

@gleam.run @crowdhailer.bsky.social are there any special files for the gleam stickers? or just the SVG that's on the website? I'm planning on going to some meet-ups, and I thought it would be cool to bring some gleam stickers and introduce more people to gleam.

It's so weird. I thought hell would freeze over before a MacBook was an affordable option. It's strongly considered the new, but I needed a little bit more power, so I went with an air. Got a 13inch m5 air midnight colored 16GB memoru 512GB storage. Really like the size.

Setup my new laptop with darwin-nix. So far, my configuration feels pretty solid. Getting setup quickly was more important than understanding everything, so I used AI to port many things over. Everything except for whatsapp is managed under Nix. https://github.com/metruzanca/nixfiles #nix

Heyo @dreamsofcode.bsky.social, just setup nix-darwin on a new system. Your video from a few years ago was a huge help. I've got pretty much everything in my flake. Apps, config, sys prefs. I'll probably post a blog post with my notes & thoughts soon.

09 Aug 2026 15:18 +0000

Been getting the urge to hand roll some @gleam.run for fun lately.

08 Aug 2026 19:00 +0000

Hey Atmosphere, is there already an app that I can use that does atproto webhooks? (I can probably listen into the firehose/streams and make this of course) I specifically wanna listen to @leaflet.pub documents so I can force my website to refetch blog posts.

Tried out data-star.Dev in a recent project. Seems pretty cool for my backend heavy app.

I built my own openclaw in golang. I wanted to know how it worked internally and I found a great resource to walk me thru the general implementation path. Learned a lot and might keep updating it. Also Hermes was a huge inspiration, probably more than openclaw.

Been using Deepseek v4 Pro/Flash exclusively because I'm price conscious and currently between jobs. Can someone using both open weight models and the "big ones" tell me if I'm missing out? Deepseek seems hella fast and I'm loving it, but if I spent more is there most speed left on the table?

06 Aug 2026 02:18 +0000

People use lag switches in games? Hah! I just run a 3-5 agents and that lags all my games to 10fps

Hey @thorstenball.com saw your episode on DavidOndrej's pod. Really resonate with a lot of things you've said. Especially the way to "rethink SWE". I really love being able to focus on the UX of the tools I build nowadays. I also really agree, forms need to die.

Been using GNU stow for a few years for my dotfiles, but I keep running into annoying errors/warnings that require special flags to get stow working as expected. --adopt --no-folding --restow And I often forget what each does. So I made https://github.com/metruzanca/gostow to just ask the user.

05 Aug 2026 07:50 +0000

Cant help myself bringing in at least a few things from @charm.land in every go project. log is an easy one to make it in all the time. huh is another I keep importing recently for clis

05 Aug 2026 07:43 +0000

I ran into two workflow pains today so I spent $0.17 to fix one and $0.10 to fix the other. Both with robust solutions that I shouldn't have to touch anymore. https://github.com/metruzanca/resume-cli https://github.com/metruzanca/stow (not quite finished yet) For $0.27 I got to work on the things I cared about today.

I've been using deepseek v4 flash exclusively. Very high quality for very little cost. Now with this week before reset I'm going to go ahead and use v4 pro instead. Not that I feel like I need to, just want to make the most of the tokens. cc @cmgriffing.bsky.social
