Secret #retro-style #video game tip: #Lix

Lix is a puzzle game where your goal is to guide the walking lix to the exit by giving them abilities like building, digging, blocking, etc.

It’s a #Lemmings clone. And dare I say, the best one I know of.

It has many quality-of-life features like rewind, advancing the simulation by 1 step, etc. There’s even multiplayer.

#LIX issues Record Event Report (RER) at Feb 12, 3:01 AM CST ...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT BATON ROUGE ASOS... https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/p.php?pid=202602120901-KLIX-SXUS74-RERBTR

so I just looked up the new FOD network isolation of #Lix (pasta). Their homepage immediately rose to my personal top 5 websites list:

Why didn't anyone tell me that #lix is in #nixpkgs now and that I can use it without even having to include it in my flake inputs!?!!

I'm experimenting with bytecode compilation in #lix, and evaluating a mid-sized package takes a whopping five minutes but at least it is fully functional and seems to be correct so far

Hey @lix_project, is there an RSS feed of the Lix blog?

🎉🤖 Behold, the revolutionary Lix: the "universal" control system for binary files, because #Git just wasn't enough! Now you can finally keep track of that oh-so-critical change from price 10 to 12 in your spreadsheets. 💼 Because who doesn't want to spend extra time version controlling their Excel files like it's the Holy Grail? 🙄

Can anyone help me with nix?
I accidentally deleted the unused store paths for a package i made by hand, and now nix is unhappy.
i'm actually using lix if it matters but i don't think it does...
#nix #lix

@zstg @moin #nixos / #lix

FUCKING finally.
lix, on termux.
(It's actually inside proot ofc but...i am NOT hard-wiring nix/lix to use $PREFIX/nix instead of /nix)
#nix #lix #termux

any #lix or #nix folks?

RE: https://blahaj.zone/notes/ah4wfukfm4vq0561

@henesy I do use #SourceHut for personal projects. Honestly, it's been more reliable than GitHub.
I really wish the #NixOS ecosystem would move to something else, anything other than GitHub. Maybe I should try #Lix, but if I don't want to switch to a distro that I would have to turn into another full time project. I had enough of that with #Guix.

In NixOS, the sandbox feature during builds ensures reproducibility by isolating the build process from the host system. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is generally not followed by NixOS natively, as everything is stored in the /nix/store with symlinks for compatibility, which can cause issues for programs expecting a standard FHS layout. The TMPDIR environment variable is relevant to how applications handle temporary files, and its behavior can differ between the default system environment and specific Nix shells.
Sandboxing and FHS
Sandboxing The Nix package manager strictly sandboxes package builds to guarantee that the resulting package is reproducible and only depends on specified inputs. This isolation means the build environment is a minimal, clean slate, preventing access to most host system files or non-declared dependencies.

TMPDIR environment variable specifies where an application should create temporary files. Its interaction with the Nix sandbox and FHS environments can lead to issues:
Default Behavior On a standard NixOS system, TMPDIR might not be set by default in the global system environment.

/* Create a writable /tmp in the chroot. Many builders need
this. (Of course they should really respect $TMPDIR
instead.) */

besides #lix has something tempting for everyone including nixos
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/13462#issuecomment-3137584843

fun fact: unflake tests pass (on my laptop) in ~18 seconds when using #CppNix / upstream #Nix, but in just ~15 seconds when using #Lix

this unscientific benchmark shows a ~17% reduction in runtime, which is pretty cool

Sadly this was adequate for meto know what is going on

#lix

#nixos folks how do you build #redis cluster , while you use it as a db for #nextcloud where the latter is your use #s3 object store besides the one of #minio
given that
you use #lix overlay and redis 2.17 issues
i am using xcaddy instead of #caddy to to #selfhost
and
https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/10342Ignore of it can be just another nix stroke verification matter
let it be I can't escape checking why the entire closure depends on python twisted
