Using NixOS for Pragmatical Self-hosting

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 manageable. Make sure to join an interactive discussion afterward: Feel free to pose uncomfortable questions and suggest improvements to the presenter! --- Nix Your Bugs & Rust Your Engines is a new meetup for people in the Rhein-Neckar region that are interested in Rust (the programming language), Nix (the package manager), or NixOS (the Linux distribution).
