ask me questions about awful.systems or NixOS! (codeberg.org)

the awful.systems server cluster runs on an open infrastructure based on NixOS and Nix flakes, and though it desperately needs cleanup in some places, it's still a pretty good example of how to use a Nix flake to deploy NixOS in production. feel free to browse the repo and ask any questions about how it works, or about Nix in general!

also, if I get hit by a bus, this can be used to redeploy awful.systems elsewhere. an existing admin who isn't in the hospital or the grave can import a database backup and get back up and running!

and as always, contributions are welcome.

I hope you know that your hard work is appreciated. A project with this kind of scope is a lot to take on, but it's a candle in the (very dumb) dark.

I appreciate the support! awful.systems is an amazing community, and I’m excited to see how it’ll grow from here.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
