Talk by Moritz Gutfleisch at our third "Nix Your Bugs & Rust Your Engines" meetup in Heidelberg on April 29, 2024. Procedural macros allow executing functions that produce Rust syntax at compile time. They allow for very sophisticated code generation and can drastically reduce boilerplate and redundancies. We'll look at how these macros can be used to make dissecting and handling network packets significantly more convenient to motivate them. Then, we'll learn how to write them and what tools the Rust ecosystem provides us to do so.

by Andre Dossinger Nix and NixOS enable new ways of managing systems. This talk is about using and abusing NixOS within a self-hosting setup. Do not expect best practices from this talk, but insights into how NixOS can be used in a problem oriented manner to preserve privacy and make complex setups
