So far I have to say that my nixos experience is underwhelming. Particularly the utter lack of any installer to make it easier to get started. Does anyone know of a nixos installer which can do EFI boot, FDE, LVM, etc. ?

So, I'm being tempted to have a play with nixos on a throwaway VM. Does anyone have a recommendation of how to get into it? @grhmc perhaps?

You've done some plenty evil Rust by now - surely this should have been a no-brainer? Or was "no-brain" the reason you're doing this in C? :D

Without the crunchy bits it's just pointless. Sadly @rjek won't let me have peanut butter in the house so I only get to have it on rare occasions :(

I think that's fair. I can probably outpace a young'un's abilities for an hour or two, and then I need a rest. This is why I tend to lead/architect and let those with energy do the actual programming :D

In my defence, the 'stuff' was my laptops, and about half crap rjek left on the sofa. And the 'clothes' ? One jumper. One.

Hear hear! If it encodes meaning in some language to communicate some idea - it's coding.
