- the most important component managed with [[id:3b3fdcbf-eb40-4c89-81f3-9d937a0be53c][Nix package manager]] are [[id:8f23f862-a19a-4a13-8d8f-69c280a8e072][Nix derivations]]
- derivations are basically recipes how the Nix build daemon compiles the package
- most derivations are verbose but we can easily create one with nixpkgs
- for certain setups such as common conventions for certain programming languages like Rust and Go, nixpkgs has [[https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#chap-language-support][environments created for those]];
  different versions may have changes so be sure to go into the appropriate documentation and create packages for a specific channel;
  this is significantly easier with [[id:6873de22-9eac-492c-93a8-6cdf8cbfc0f8][Nix flakes]]
Update wiki on various topics This update is too large, I made too many notes on stuff. Nonetheless, it is very nice to see progress. I've made note revisions on the following topics: - Learning - Writing - Various Linux-related stuff I've yet to start learning illustration but I'll be starting tomorrow for an update how do I keep in mind with those writings. There are still a lot of things to be processed from the backlog with yet more notes on learning but I keep having those perspectives whenever I practice so ehhh... Better have those than nothing? Furthermore, I've also updated the timestamp format. It is pretty simple to update all of the notes with a couple of `sed` calls. Aaaand, I've also changed the way how the assets stored with the folders only leaving it up for the generated files instead of enforcing it on every note. I create more visual aids and managing them is a pain for each note. This restructuring frees me of that burden. 2021-07-20 11:52:43 +00:00			`:PROPERTIES:`
