Recommend to use services.xserver.dpi option instead. Mention in the
documentation that it's a sledgehammer approach and monitor settings should be
used instead.
Also don't set DPI in fontconfig settings; fontconfig should use Xft settings
by default so let's not override one value in multiple places. For example,
user now can set DPI via ~/.Xresources properly.
Deluge 1.x requires Python 2 which upstream has end-of-lifed. Deluge depends
on pythonPackages.twisted, Python 2 support for which upstream has
nowdropped. If pythonPackages.twisted is upgraded then Deluge 1.x breaks.
So, remove it instead of leaving it broken.
Deluge 2.x (deluge-2_x) is available and continues to work.
Let the update.py script handle the initial, repetitive task of
packaging new plugins. With this in place, the plugin only needs to be
added to the list in `update-plugins` and most of the work will be
done automatically when the script is run. Metadata still needs to be
filled in manually and some packages may of course require additional
work/patching.
Without this option all changes done with Caddy API are lost after reboot.
Current service is not supporting Caddy --resume parameter. There is reference to original unit https://github.com/caddyserver/dist/blob/master/init/caddy.service which also mentions --resume and that it should be used if new Caddy API will be used.
The wpa_supplicant service in the NixOS installer is unusable because
the control socket is disabled and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ignored.
The manual currently recommends manually starting the daemon and using
wpa_passphrase, but this requires figuring out the interface name,
driver and only works for WPA2 personal networks.
By enabling the control socket, instead, a user can configure the
network via wpa_cli (or wpa_gui in the graphical installer), which
support more advanced network configurations.
Most desktop environments manage the cursor using the Xcursor library
by default; this comes with scalable or multiple-sized cursor themes.
However, when running just a simple WM (twm, bspwm, ...) the cursor
handling is left to the X server, which uses a very simple fixed bitmap
font (this is called a "core" cursor). The font is uncomfortably small
on a high DPI display and must be replaced with a saner default.
Up until recently[1] it used to be possible to change the font on the
xserver command line, however the font name is now hardcoded. It's still
possible to change it, though: here I override the `fontcursormisc`
package and set an alias that points to a vector variant of the original
cursor font. The font size is set to match the standard cursor
dimensions on a 96dpi display. It's not perfect but it's a very simple
and effective solution.

The paperless project has moved on to paperless-ng and the original
paperless package in Nixpkgs has stopped working recently (due to
version incompatibility with the providede Django package).
Instead of investing more time into the old module we should migrate all
users to the new module instead.
This sets up a different systemd service for each interface. This way
each wpa_supplicant instance waits for his inteface to become ready
using the respective device unit, and that only. The configuration file
is still shared between all instances, though.
This closes a longstanding "fixme" from cbfba81.
The generated json configuration returns this warning:
the 'issuer' field is deprecated and will be removed in the future; use 'issuers' instead
Updated the config to use "issuers" instead of "issuer"
Also, now it's possible to set the ca option null to not inject
automatically any ca. This is useful if you don't want to generate any
certificates or if you want to define a more fine-graned ca config
manually (e.g.: use different ca per domain)
- Add an option to automatically launch a scan when the
signal of the current network is low
- Enable 802.11r (fast access point transition) by default for all
protected networks
I may have finally found a clean solution to the issues[1][2][3] with
the automatic discovery of wireless network interfaces.

Currently the start script fails right away if no interface is available
by the time it's running, possibly leaving the system without network.
This happens when running a little early in the boot. A solution is to
instead wait for at least one interface to appear before scanning the
/sys/class/net/ directory. This is done here by listening for the right
udev events (from the net/wlan subsystem) using the `udevadm monitor`
command and grep to match its output.
This methods guarantees the availability of at least one interface to
wpa_supplicant, but won't add additional interfaces once it has started.
However, if the current interface is lost, say unplugged, the service is
automatically stopped and will be restarted as soon as a one (not
necessarily the same) is detected. It would be possible make this fully
dynamic by running another service that continously listen for udev
events and manages the main wpa_supplicant daemon, but this is probably
overkill.
I tested the following cases:
- one interface, starting at boot, w/o predictable naming scheme
- two interfaces, starting at boot (intel wireless and a usb adapter),
w/o predictable naming scheme
- one interface after the system booted, w/o predictable naming scheme
- two interfaces after the system booted, w/o predictable naming scheme
- unplugging and plugging back the current interface
This change makes it so that accessing config.users.groups.*.members isn't
empty by default, but instead contains all the users whose `extraGroups`
includes that group, allowing fancy things like
{ config, ... }: {
users.groups.libvirt.members = config.users.groups.wheel.members;
}
to add all users in the wheel group to the libvirt group
Some ACME providers (like Buypass) are using a different certificate
to sign OCSP responses than for server certificates. Therefore,
sslTrustedCertificate should be provided by the user and we need to
allow that.
For security reasons, and generally, it is best to create a more fine
grained group than plugdev. This way users that wish to tweak razer
devices don't have access to the entire plugdev group's permissions.
This is of course a breaking change.
Nullmailer expects that this directory exists (see
073f4e9c5d/doc/nullmailer-send.8 (L185)).
When it doesn't and an email cannot be sent due to a permanent failure
or has been in the queue longer than queuelifetime (7 days), message
"Can't rename file: No such file or directory" starts appearing in the
log and nullmailer never sends "Could not send message" notification.
This means that the user may never learn that his email was not
delivered.
This fixes:

This option allows basic configuration of the compression technique
used in the backup script. Specifically it adds `none` and `zstd` as
new alternatives, keeping `gzip` as the default.
The service likes to write files uploaded by the user to the service
user's $HOME. In our case the hqplayerd user has no home directory,
since it's a system user, and regardless we'd like to keep the service's
state contained.
With this change the unit forces HOME to point to
/var/lib/hqplayer/home, which works around the issue.
so the underlaying use case of the preceding commit is so
generic, that we gain a lot in reasoning to give it an
appropriate name.
As the comment states:
image media needs to override host config short of mkForce
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/131760 was made to avo
a speicific configuration conflict that errored out for multiple definitions of "/" when the installer where overlayed
on any existing host configuration.
---
Problem 1: It turns out that in also other mountpoints can coflict.
Solution 1: use `mkOverride 60` for all mountpoints (even for the ones unlikely causing confilct for consistency sake)
---
Problem 2: It turns out that on an installation media for a fresh machine (before formatting), we usually don't have any devices yet formatted. However defining for example `fileSystems.<nme>.device = "/dev/disk/by-label/...", in newer versions of nixos, seems to make the system startup fail. Similarily waiting for a non-existent swap device does not make the startup fail, but has a 1:30 min timeout.
Solution 2: For an installation medium, soft-override ("unless users know what they are doing") the entire `fileSystems` and `swapDevices` definitions.
