What do you use to hose your blog? It looks so clean.

    Interesting but no mention of Guix. I'm still on the fence.

    After half a year of using it as main driver, I'm still loving nixOS. My entire sway config is in a git repo now, along with the rest of my system config. So nice not having to scrounge around for all the different dotfiles to back up, just the flakes directory.

    Do I need to temporarily use a tool not installed? nix-shell to the rescue. Do I need a special shell with commands for the projects I'm currently working on? I just add a .nix file to the project and nix-shell comes to the rescue again. So elegant.

    Can I ask about the last bit? Is it like having different dev environments or profiles, and you can just use them as needed?
