I just started using nix recently. I really like the concept, and how simple it is to "temporarily" install an app only needed briefly.

I was trying to install a python program i wrote, and packaged with poetry (on an arch system) to nix. Pip and pipx both threw errors, nothing seemed to work. Advice online seemed like i needed to basically create a nix flake for the app. I still havent gotten it installed because i have no idea what nix flakes are.

Its probably just a learning curve, and not using nix the "nix way" but im incredibly frustrated and it was a massive time sink for me. I figured pipx would basically work like flatpak does and just install the thing in my home, leaving the system immutable or whatever, and staying mostly in the spirit of nix.

So i'd say its weird enough of a distro to waste your time sometimes.

That said, it seems to have the cleanest updates ive ever seen on linux. So much so i could probably just run them via cron, and never think about it again.

So win some lose some...

Also not pulling the lever makes you morally responsible if you "stand by and do nothing"

I have a program that I wrote, maybe I didn't package it appropriately, but I cannot got it to run. I wrote it on a manjaro install, and tested it on another manjaro install, both were fine. I packaged it with poetry and copied the wheel over.

Today I tried to install it on my nixos surface tablet I use at work. I get this error on installation:

Traceback (most recent call last):                                            File "/home/gzuh/.local/bin/willcallgui", line 5, in <module>

    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter'

These are the packages i have installed... I'm trying to install it with pipx...

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    vim
    wget
    screen
    google-chrome
    openssh
    blackbox-terminal
    tailscale
    gnome.gnome-tweaks

    git
    python311Full
    python311Packages.tkinter

    python311Packages.pipx

  ];

What am i missing?

I'm working on a python program, and i need to sync the results to an ipad as a todo list (with checkboxes)

I had been using google keep, and manually copying /pasting the data over from my cli based app. I will be out of the country for 2 weeks, so im updating my software to no longer being cli, and ideally syncing the final list to google keep or something similar, since someone else will be running the software. You know how normies get when they see a terminal window..

tried this googlekeepapi thing i found online, but the authentication was very complicated and i couldn't get it to work. There is no specific reason we need to use google keep, was just the first thing that came to mind when we set this system up, and it works well and is cloud based.

Do yall know of any service where i can programmatically generate checkbox lists, and sync them over the web?

I should note i do not have a server available to self host. could potentially spin something up locally with a raspberry pi, but would prefer not to have another potential point of failure.

Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.

I don't often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?

I dont think the IT firm i'm applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school....

I mean, while we still have so much car centric infrastructure in the states, they can be a useful transition.

I say this as someone who primarily commutes by bicycle btw. Public transit in my area is piss poor. Unpredictable buses, no light rail. Hell there aren't even sidewalks everywhere.

My wife recently got a fully electric car, and I support that move. She is not ready to go car free. But at least we are not necessarily burning fossil fuels to power trips to the grocery store. I think the closest power plants to us are nuclear and hydroelectric. Im sure there's a coal plant in the mix too tho.

Would never give elon a cent of our money though

Most of the biden haters i know on the left are upset about his support for israel. Harris has been much more critical of the genocide. We'll just have to see.

I didnt want to vote for biden, but was still going to vote blue no matter who. Im glad i dont have to vote for genocide anymore.

Linux is unix-like, and not from the same family really. ChromeOS is based on linux, so similarly unix-like. Mac is Darwin, which is actually unix. Also all BSDs are unix

Help with VIA macros? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org to c/mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml

I just got a cidooo v21 numpad, and was very excited to use macros for OBS.

I have been using alt-z for tap-to-talk in obs, and i set up layer 3 to be obs macros. I want "enter" to be tap to talk ie alt-z. When i press the enter key and keep it held, it only registers as a short tap. I even made sure the macro is set for keydown on both keys.

Whats the simplest way to have the macro report as held for the duration of me holding the enter key?

Edit: potential alternate solution: whats the best way to have different macros for the press and release of the enter key? That way i could simply unmute on press and mute on release

Everyone saying Android is completely missing the point. I mean yeah, it runs the linux kernel, but i feel like most of yall wouldn't call ChromeOS linux on the other hand.

The obvious connotations are privacy, choice, wayland/x11 support, a useful terminal, a rich foss ecosystem, and arch btw.

I have a client with locally hosted security cameras. There is a DVR box that has a port open and a 3rd party app you can view the cameras from. Traditionally we have been forwarding the port to the WAN via the router there. Its a restaraunt btw.

When the ISP upgrades the router every few years there's a huge headache trying to get the ports back open and bridging the modem and router blah blah blah. Not only this, even though they are supposed to have a static wan ip, it does change from time to time.

What i would like to do is plug in a raspberry pi on the network and forward the DVR's ports somewhere accessable.

Im thinking of something along the lines of wireguard, but just for a single ip/port that i can tunnel over ngrok. Seems doable but i'm having trouble finding the proper terms to google. Port forwarding generally brings up router config, and tunnelling seems to expect you to be on the device who's ports you wish to access.

Any advice?
