I for one have been writing a lot of Ruby that looks suspiciously like Rust lately… 🫣

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

A chart outlining the RIP BOZO Readiness Condition (RIPCON), which is a riff off of DEFCON. There are 5 levels, with 5 being lowest and 1 being the highest. The chart details descriptions of these levels, examples and actions to take in the event something occurs.

Good reminders for all the devs out there trying to claw some time on the backlog for better resiliency focused projects!

Prod is in late "dark deployment" / early rollout stages, with a few dozen NixOS deployments supporting low hundreds of customers, ramping up to thousands by early next year. There is a lot I *don't* know about Nix… but a few years deep in the weeds, I know a lot more than I am proud to admit 😅

Nick Zadrozny @nz.omc.io · 07/11/2025

To be clear, I'm focusing on servers or development environments; I don't have the fortitude to run Linux on the desktop! Some more context: my team runs Nix for the dev systems of a half dozen people, working in Ruby, Rust, JS, Java, across a dozen different app, data, and API services.

Hello world! I'm putting together a series of talks and team trainings on Nix and NixOS. (Two is a series, right?) There's a lot to narrow down. So I would love to know: if you're Nix-curious, what questions do you have, or frustrations have you experienced?

Also: ebikes? I think we’re going to need solar panels, a battery, an inverter, and a handful of bike chargers for various different brands. And while we’re at it, landscaping equipment also uses batteries. This sounds like a very multipurpose building to me, I’m not sure ‘vehicles’ really captures…

Okay I’ll bite: why do you want an OpenSearch on a raspberry pi!

Problem: searching across five different indexes. Solution? Combine them into one! New problem: searching across six different indexes…

I Iike Rust but I also write a lot of Ruby. So I ported Result and Option to Ruby and integrated Option into ActiveRecord. Sounds like an April Fool’s joke. But no, just the usual unhinged behavior over here.
