Revise Nix-related notes Added more notes as I developed the Guix overlay for NixOS over time. It does have a nice experience, overall (albeit clunky one due to the documentation).

[[https://nixos.org/][Nix]] is a package manager that pioneered [[id:bfed6daf-4c2b-4426-bab9-2804caa5e079][Functional package management]] which addresses the criticisms of traditional Unix systems while making it as a specialized tool for [[id:fe9e21bc-3b38-4d0f-a785-253248a38ed7][Reproducible builds]].
It features a handrolled configuration language (also called Nix) that leans into functional paradigm, making it easier if you have experience on it.
A popular tool mostly featured in Haskell programming projects.
Eventually inspired GNU to create a fork, [[id:be917383-84c4-4bf5-9ca0-b04bfb778f4f][Guix package manager]], that takes it to another direction with more focus on reproducibility and its extensions such as bootstrapping.

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.

Among other things, Nix also has the following features to look out for.

While most of the packages can be passed into nixpkgs, most of them are niche packages (or the package author are not interested in maintaining it).

* Components of the package manager
Holistically, Nix is made up of at least four components: the store, the language, the derivations, and the sandbox.
- The store is a immutable centralized location where all of the outputs are placed.
- The derivations are essentially build instructions.
Update the notebook The topics I've covered so far for Linux, package managers, archiving, and learning. I also updated some formatting for other notes especially with the command line references.
2021-07-29 15:26:51 +00:00
- [[id:a57e63a7-6daa-4639-910d-c6648df156a3][Nix language]] is a domain-specific language for creating derivations.

- The build process can be locked in a sandbox, improving the reproducibility of a setup and lowering the attack surface for a malicious package.
