Broke my oath to stop playing video games, after I got completely hooked on Deadlock, which barely ran with low settings on a potato PC at my family's house. Decided to go for a AMD-only workstation, installed NixOS on it and all my macos configuration just worked on the first try!

Gave my Nix-Darwin configuration
repo to GitHub Copilot and told
me to audit it. Turns out that I forgot the -d flag in my script running
nix-collect-garbage. 92497 store paths deleted, 73.0 GiB freed, feeling
like an idiot right now. Audit your configuration repos, its basically free at
this point and you'll probably uncover some hidden configuration issues.

Network drives, quite
surprisingly, are something I never had to set up in my sysadmin/devops carrier.
Today, I decided to finally stop wasting time with copying my movies via
rsync or scp. As usual, the NixOS Wiki
provided a great example to get me started. Within minutes, I was browsing my
homelab's movie directory from a Finder-managed
Samba mount on my macbook.
Positively surprised to see that rewinding through a movie works with no noticeable delay, I couldn't tell I'm running off a network mount. Mpv player even has a small UI widget visualising how it buffers the movie locally, great stuff!
Android's VLC also supports Samba shares, had no trouble connecting and streaming vids in 1080p. There's also CIFS Document Provider, although it lacks in the UX department and tends to hang when opening 50MB+ PDFs.
