Nice, no more messing around with treesitter packages

Wow, I tried NixOS at one point but I couldn't keep it as a daily driver because it didn't play nicely with my conda-based dev environment.

I knew nix like guix (another failed experiment I wanted to make my daily driver) could be run as a package manager but I had no idea it could cross-compile and copy in one command!

These are static builds right?

Other packages do this though, and builds are easy to automate. Is it because it's not stable software, and so hasn't passed the usual unstable, testing, stabile repo vetting process? If so, I'm surprised, it really looks mature.

Ah cross-compiling is something I hadnt considered... do you have a preferred toolchain for this?

 

I'm impressed that Lemmy only needs 150 MB RAM and uses virtually no CPU

This seems like an ideal thing to install on an embedded system such as a Raspberry Pi.

Problem: Where are the builds?

In the installation page, you have three options: Docker, Ansible, From Scratch

I'm currently doing the from scratch option since my OS distributor is not a fan of docker or ansible (and neither am I), but the build is taking ~1hr.

Are there no nightly builds with .deb packages?
