• Hacking Haskell with Nix: Two Tricks

  If you are using Nix, you may have heard of Nix-Shell Shebang:. - Source: dev.to / 26 days ago

• Hacking with mdBook

  MdBook is a Rust-based tool to create Web-based books from vanilla Markdown files. Although it is quite minimalistic, you will bump into it quite often in the wild. Most notably, the Rust Book uses it. I see it quite often in the Nix ecosystem, too. - Source: dev.to / 27 days ago

• Haskell Project Template with Nix Flakes

  Haskell has been my go-to language for over 7 years. First, I started with Stack, then switched to plain Cabal and finally settled on Nix to provision a development environment for Haskell projects. - Source: dev.to / 28 days ago

• SDK-Driven Development: A Litmus Test for Good Software Design

  Also for systems administration and DevOps, I first used Ansible to streamline the management of our servers. Writing playbooks is OK, but going beyond that to convert them to roles is a good practice from collaboration perspective. This SDK approach worked quite well for me and my team. Now, I am developing NixOS modules for various services we deploy. In both cases, the goal is to compose well-defined and... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Why and How to Patch a Python Package in Nix

  I bumped into an annoying issue today while upgrading my Python dependencies in a codebase. And I thought it would be a good idea to share the solution with you. Thanks to Nix for making this kind of fix so straightforward. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Deploying a Simple Go API with Supervisor and Nginx

  You might wonder why we use Supervisor instead of alternatives like Systemd, PM2, or containerized solutions like Docker. Here’s a quick comparison:. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Show HN: Interactive systemd (a better way to work with systemd units)

  Idk, when systemd became the main thing I hated it too. But mostly because it was different and I didn't know how to use it. But then I learned and you know what? I agreed. This took awhile though and I had to see the problems they are solving. Otherwise it looks really bloaty and confusing. Like why have things like nspawn? Why use systemd jobs instead of using cron? Why use systemd-homed instead of useradd? Well... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Strong Performance with EC2, Lambda, and the Momento SDK for Rust

  Here's my take at this point. If you require blazing speed, the Momento SDK for Rust handles topic subscriptions like a champion. It's easy to code with. Easy to set up. And I get an amazing performance. In cases where I need to update a leaderboard, perhaps deal with real-time chats, or work with financial data that needs to be updated as it happens, this would 100% be the way I'd go. There is no substitute... - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• Daily Journal note injected into Joplin at the start of the day

  To that end, I created a script called journal.sh, and then created a systemd unit on my Linux machine that runs this using systemd timers (like cron but infinitely more powerful and flexible). Source: over 1 year ago

• Deploying a secured Node.js Application on AWS EC2 Instance from scratch (Detailed Guide)

  You want your application to be available on the internet whenever it is accessed on any authorized device, from any authorized location. To achieve this, you can create a service to manage your node app. This service will be managed in Systemd to reliably ensure that your application is always running smoothly (i.e. starting, stopping, restarting, monitoring and occasionally fixing issues to keep the application... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
