The Nix project has had quite a bit of bad publicity in the last month for having Anduril sponsor NixCon NA.

I am very happy to see that —after admittedly way too much effort— we now finally have a sponsorship policy to prevent this from happening in the future. A big Thank You to all who contributed and pushed for this!

If you turned your back on Nix due to this, please consider accepting the apology from the Foundation Board.

I know #SoftwareUpdates are often a hard thing.

I really like how ease they are, at least for me, for the following projects:

- https://friendi.ca/ #friendica
- https://nextcloud.com/ #Nextcloud
- https://libreelec.tv/ #libreelec
- https://forgejo.org/ #forgejo @Forgejo
- https://iode.tech/iodeos-en/, @iodé
- https://nixos.org/ #Nix, #NixOS @Nix / NixOS

They all just work. And are easy to perform. Thanks to those projects and everyone involved.

They enable users to self run and use software.

Finally took some time to bust out the @PINE64 #pinebookpro and have some fun! I'd planned on flashing #nixos onto it, but everything I'd book from the image on my NVMe, I'd go through the whole rebuild and switch but it continued failing to boot into the new build... 🤔

Next best option, fresh install an #archlinux based system with great development record for the PBP, #manjaro , and manage everything with #nix. Turns out option #2 is still pretty awesome! 😎🤘 #linux
