Hey y’all, I could use help: if you’re using the determinate nix installer in GitHub actions and you’re seeing an increase in CI failures — let me know? We’re slowly rolling out a new version and suspect there is an edge case we haven’t covered.
So this merged: github.com/DeterminateS... (not yet released, see the linked comment)
Lazy trees v2 by edolstra · Pull Request #27 · DeterminateSystems/nix-src
Motivation Less invasive variant of NixOS#6530. We now mount lazy accessors on top of /nix/store without materializing them, and only materialize them to the real store if needed (e.g. in the deriv...

An awkward UX issue of Determinate Nix is that we serve it from FlakeHub Cache, which has no unauthenticated access. We do that to make the auth backend very straightforward, avoiding complexity that could lead to leaking customer cache entries. But...
The next release of Determinate Nix will start addressing two issues that commonly confuse our users: 1. `nix-channel` is deprecated, and using it will issue a warning. 2. Using an indirect flakeref or implicit registry input in a flake.nix will also raise a warning. >>>
Determinate Nix 3.3.1 is now out and folks, it is not playing games. We've added JSON logging to Nix and a whole new UX around fixing hash mismatches during Nix builds—and we've fixed some long-standing paper cuts to boot. determinate.systems/posts/change...
Changelog: JSON logging, a new experience around hash mismatches, and more
JSON logging has the potential to unlock all kinds of ergonomic benefits, starting with hash mismatches but with plenty of room to expand beyond that

Let’s be real: any GitHub Action could expose your secrets at any time. Just look at the latest CVE uncovered in the popular tj-actions/changed-files Action. Static, long-lived secrets are a major 🚩. The solution? Don't rely on them, there is a better way. 🧵👇
@hankgreen.bsky.social my daughter is named Io, and ++ on your video about paying more attention to Jupiter's moons.
can we please just get a move on, and (1) make Ed25519 FIPS-140, and (2) get Ed25519 in HSMs and AWS KMS?
This Firefox ToS hubbub is wild. It is amazing they didn't have one before. Lawyers like to spell out things like "If you type things into our program, we will do things with it." Which is the fundamental operating principle of a browser! You type things into it, and things happen!
How is it that most glasses companies take 7-10 days, when there are plenty of companies that will get them to you next day?
To support streamlined NixOS deployments to AWS, we now offer Determinate NixOS AMIs that come with Determinate Nix and fh, the CLI for FlakeHub, installed. Authenticate with STS, apply your configuration, and you're off to the races. https://determinate.systems/posts/nixos-amis

Evidently, GitHub Actions' API has no way to trigger a workflow, and then know the ID of the run that was triggered.
Maps, being so utterly political, are touched by the digital age. Online maps present different boundaries and names depending on where you are.
Hey @quinnypig.com, is it possible AWS support actually gets >500 cases per second? At that rate, is it better to send a thank you reply, or is it more polite to silently resolve closed tickets to avoid extra messages?
Do I know any swift devs that do contract work? I’ve got a project!
Unfortunately, due to GitHub Actions Cache API changes, the free Magic Nix Cache support is near end of life. TL;DR: * Upgrade to FlakeHub Cache and get a month free * Free cache for OSS * GitHub Enterprise Server is unaffected đź”—
End of life for the free tier of the Magic Nix Cache
Some unfortunate decisions by GitHub have forced us to wind down free caching with the Magic Nix Cache by 1 February 2025
