The details depend a bit on the audiostack of your distro, but they all have a cli program with which you can change inputs/outputs and volume; e.g. pactl for pulseaudio and wpctl for wireplumber.
You’ll need a mechanism to find your triggers (I create a firefox tab with youtube/spotify, I have a music player active) and then you can act on it.
Detecting voice in an audiostream is probably technically possible, but that sounds pretty hard to setup.
I know that feeling all too wel…
Sorry I can’t help you with the solution you want, I don’t use flatpak.
It’s not really what you’re asking, but couldn’t you just visit the about:profiles page?
It’s not as nice as the dedicated profile manager, but it’s just as functional.
You could even set it as your default page, or add it to the bookmark bar.
IIRC, within RHEL it goes fedora (next major) -> centos stream (next minor) -> RHEL (current major.minor).
With Debian and its derivatives (e.g Ubuntu) this means that Debian-unstable corresponds to fedora, Debian-testing corresponds to CentOS stream and Debian-stable corresponds to RHEL. (Roughly of course).
Ubuntu is based off of some flavor of Debian and is therefore downstream of it: Debian (unstable I think) -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu LTS.
But as far as which version has the newest packages then sure, your list is correct.
Thank you, was wondering what happened there.
Youtube tip everyone needs to now: remove the si query parameter, it’s not necessary and used for tracking

people’s configs on github?
How did you install nixos? The labels for disks and partitions are usually set during creation.
If the KDE-spin installer did not need to reformat the disks (i.e. the partition sizes and formats didn’t change) it probably didn’t touch the partition labels.
You can change the label if it bothers you, just make sure fstab doesn’t use the old label :)
Happy hopping!
because bash isn’t always in /usr/bin/bash.
On macOS the version on /usr/bin/bash is very old (bash 3 I think?), so many users install a newer version with homebrew which ends up in PATH, which /usr/bin/env looks at.
Protip: I start every bash script with the following two lines:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
set -e makes the script exit if any command (that’s not part of things like if-statements) exits with a non-zero exit code
set -u makes the script exit when it tries to use undefined variables
set -o pipefail will make the exit code of the pipeline have the rightmost non-zero exit status of the pipeline, instead of always the rightmost command.
That seems more sensible.
But they still can track some of the things you do (same with any untrusted wifi network):
The best thing is to use a different device, period.
Since the company is lord and master over the device, in theory, they can see anything you’re doing.
Maybe not decrypting wireguard traffic in practice, but still see that you’re doing non-official things on the device that are probably not allowed. They might think you’re a whistleblower or a corporate spy or something.
I have no idea where you work, but if they install a CA they’re probably have some kind of monitoring to see what programs are installed/running.
If the company CA is all you’re worried about, running a browser that uses its own CA list should be enough.
Maybe your drive(s) fail and you want to reinstall.
Then you already have a setup with all your software and config files installed. Just reinstall NixOS and re-apply your configuration (or build your own Install ISO ).
And if you ever get a new laptop/desktop/VM/VPS you can do the same.
Don’t forget to take backups, regardless of your setup tho.
The reproducibility also leads to some surprise features, like being able to wipe your entire system on every boot. Since NixOS always puts the necessary files in the correct place, this is perfectly fine. If you then add some mechanism to persist specific data across reboots (a separate partition, or the Impermanence module), you will remove all kinda of randomly accumulated files on every boot.
This means I have very small backups, because I have three kinds of data: stuff that is wiped on every boot, stuff that is persisted but not backed up (/nix/store, all kinds of caches) and stuff that is persisted and backed up (documents, repositories, media).
None of my OS’s files are in the backups, which makes of them a lot smaller than my previous arch install.
You can also set up a wireguard VPN to run VNC over, that might be easier instead of using SSH tunnels.
Python development shouldn’t be that hard I think. You can just drop a shell.nix that imports your pyproject.toml and then you can run nix develop and have all your dependencies installed seamlessly with poetry2nix.
I’m using neovim so I can’t really help you with vscode, sorry.
Have you tried Erasing your darlings with NixOS?
The picture is LotR, yes. But the text underneath refers to WarGames.
That movie is WarGames (1983)
There’s several pages on the arch wiki that should help:
Session Lock, specifically the xorg/wayland triggers and units sections
This sounds like a very specific question, what problem are you really trying to solve?
Logout before suspend/hibernate, or something else?
Yes, a quick web search later I haven’t found a readymade solution.
Setting the volume for specific outputs is not very hard, so maybe a middleground solution is to have two shortcuts. One for “game mode” and one for “music mode” or whatever.
