transcaffeine ✨️<p>dear internet, i have a nixos with an efi-only partition and i want to do luks unlock via ssh from inside initrd. when setting network settings into `boot.initrd.network` and ssh config (with host keys in /boot/efi) into `boot.initrd.network.ssh`, i do not get any action in stage 1 attempting to either bring up the network nor launch SSH. i get the normal systemd-udev prompt for the luks passphrase. any ideas?<br><a href="https://mond-basis.eu/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nixos</span></a> <a href="https://mond-basis.eu/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nix</span></a></p>

Krutonium://<p>I've asked before, but does anyone know how to configure GDM/Gnome to ignore my monitors searching for Inputs? The OSD setting for the displays doesn't work (it has a setting that does nothing) and when all 3 of them start searching for inputs when Windows/Linux tries to turn off the displays, they end up sending some signal that Gnome/GDM interprets as input relevant to unsleeping the displays. So the displays can never turn off on their own, without my own manual intervention.</p><p>On their own, <em>at best</em> they end up on a black screen but on; With GDM/Gnome being unaware that the monitors are getting a signal as far as I can tell. (Some sort of race condition here maybe?)</p><p>Plugged in using DisplayPort to an EVGA RTX 3070 using the latest official nVidia Driver.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GDM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDM</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Samsung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Samsung</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Monitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monitors</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Help</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TechSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechSupport</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/nVidia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nVidia</span></a></p>

decafkafk<p>Here is a post I was gonna make to the <a class="hashtag" href="https://catgirl.farm/tag/nixos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> discourse, but I realize that I don’t actually care about speaking to people on that platform anymore. </p><p>I mainly just wanna outline why I think nothing has changed, and what is preventing it from changing.</p><p>Anyone in Nix governance please DNI</p> <p><a href="https://discourse.nixos.org/t/we-should-urgently-ban-and-denounce-determinate-systems/61356?u=cafkafk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As seen here</a>, it is quite clear that many agree that we should urgently ban and denounce Determinate Systems, and most of the private messages I’ve receiving also indicate that basically everyone wants this, even if they’re scared to say so out loud. </p><p>So why isn’t this happening? What’s the point of having people in charge of governance that are scared to actually take the actions that both they and the community want?</p><p>And what’s the actual point of having a moderation team that seems solely focused on minimizing criticisms of things that actually matter, while doing a type of moderation that seems to mostly stoke the flames of pointless debates? Isn’t the point of moderation to be able to have topical discussions like the one I linked? If their solution is to just shut it down, that’s like a doctor killing their patient to cure them of an ailment…</p><p>I think it’s quite clear that to many people in power in this project, they prefer the status quo, why else would they keep it running the same way as always? I guess if we started holding some people accountable, we’d have to hold many others accountable as well. And so it’s simply not in their interests.</p><p>Complaining here won’t amount to much — the inevitable fork may, if not full of the same cultural problems. It’s to me just a final proof that the steering committee fails to represent me and other people in the project, the moderators fail to create space for actually productive conversations, but rather destroys it at every turn, and that the project in general isn’t one of merit or transparency, but one of critical information being kept to DMs, full of long drawn out conspiracies and plans that never amount to anything, and even if they did… if the people that take over the project are conspirators, what’s the point? It’s gonna be the same problems with a new face. That’s what the Steering Committee currently is.</p><p>I expected more of you all.</p>
