Uhg, I feel gross just thinking about it but...<br/><br/>I want to get the Sparrow Nix package updated in Nixpkgs ASAP because if it doesn&#39;t get updated before the Java SDKs 22-24 get dropped (which will happen sometime between now and the release of NixOS 25.11) the Sparrow package will be in a broken state; Hydra won&#39;t build it, and end-users won&#39;t be able to install it. Which means I&#39;d have to do a NixOS 25.11 backport of the Sparrow package, and I hate backporting.<br/><br/>I&#39;m doing this disgusting begging dance in hopes that some plebs will test the Nix package and make some noise on the PR: <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/449169">https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/449169</a><br/><br/>Luckly PRs have been getting merged much quicker than they used to, so there&#39;s still a good chance. So,<br/><br/>1. Test the package.<br/>2. Post stickers, comments, whatever, on the PR.<br/><br/>Also notice that the PR number ends in 69, which is the number of... uh... creation ;) 2025-10-13T19:13:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs24fprpn7vhepxm5nwhtr58c500nyysce7ev595kunajscxjftvjgzyqlyjvgssveajhgz2d3wttdnxcymaxwcpltxyf9hgqk5le3v3la8khdwfth sparrow 2.3 is coming to a Nixpkgs near you.<br/><br/>1.

So, I removed the Nixpkgs JDK and went with the bundled JDK, which is something I recently mentioned I may have to do, which is Temurin 22.<br/><br/>One nice benefit of this change is that the package is simpler; Less Nix code. 2025-10-03T14:09:52Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsze9p422mehsr8scwat77kzng5df6u8yxtgdj4y3d6qxef6tsv9pczyqlyjvgssveajhgz2d3wttdnxcymaxwcpltxyf9hgqk5le3v3la8k54nf4e Nix package updates:<br/><br/>- The bisq2 JDK was updated from 23 to 25, and from openjdk to Zulu JDK; Because there seems to be an issue with openjdk 25 and JFX 25.<br/>- The sparrow JDK was updated from 23 to 24. sparrow is currently not compatible with JDK 25.<br/><br/>The problem here is that within a couple of months JDK 22-24 will be dropped from Nixpkgs, which leaves sparrow without a compatible JDK. Yeah, this is all happening again.<br/><br/>I already tested sparrow with the bundled JDK (created with jpackage), which is Temurin JDK 22, and it works. So there&#39;s that option.<br/><br/>There&#39;s nothing quite like a good game of whack-a-mole. 2025-09-27T18:07:34Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrnzlvkuc36pwsrsfnu5xk3jjqr2h02qj5q0pqv8mfv7g8qzg70wczyqlyjvgssveajhgz2d3wttdnxcymaxwcpltxyf9hgqk5le3v3la8kkz8z6w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs27x3cmmy5lz25alcm9hj6sg4yv0xu4gfdrc4flm0w04k5z4ngyps43w0zt'>nevent1q…w0zt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Somebody got roasted :) 2025-09-24T14:29:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswj9ckskq3rwmqd4ts4nx7nw8ywvv777j2qpu058ew6gg2ukss5lczyqlyjvgssveajhgz2d3wttdnxcymaxwcpltxyf9hgqk5le3v3la8knlfklx Can you imagine Apple, Dell, Lenovo, or HP taking about their defered or rejected products?

Waste of time, basically.<br/><br/>It’s a reminder that a big percentage of what you see in heavily politicized media is about narrative framing and talking points rather than genuine attempts to discuss or explore.

Another way, at least until the dust settles, is remain on Bitcoin Core 0.29. It so happens that on NixOS this is pretty easy to do. Especially using Nix Flakes.<br/><br/>First, you need to &#34;pin&#34; Nixpkgs so that your NixOS build remains on a version of Nixpkgs which has Bitcoin Core 0.29. It&#39;s not ideal to make this &#34;pinned&#34; Nixpkgs the same one you use for the entire NixOS build because then you&#39;d be suspending all updates to your system. Instead, create a separate flake input:<br/><br/>flake.nix:<br/>```<br/>inputs.nixpkgs-bitcoin-core-29.url = &#34;github:NixOS/nixpkgs?ref=cf3ffa5d140899101f1deb3f4d16b1a1aa2de849&#34;;<br/><br/>outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nixpkgs-bitcoin-core-29 }@attrs: {<br/>};<br/>```<br/><br/>Next, you need to override the bitcoind package that&#39;s used by the NixOS module that you&#39;re using to setup Bitcoin Core. Here&#39;s how it&#39;s done for the bitcoind module that comes with Nixpkgs:<br/><br/>configuration.nix:<br/>```<br/>services.bitcoind.mainnet.package = nixpkgs-bitcoin-core-29.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.bitcoind;<br/>```<br/><br/>If you&#39;re using a third-party NixOS module to set up Bitcoin Core, it probably also has a `package` attribute which you can set in the same way.<br/><br/>And.. that&#39;s it!<br/><br/>Rebuild and you&#39;re done; Bitcoin Core will remain on version 0.29 until YOU decide to change it; Unless somebody breaks the NixOS module :(<br/><br/>#nixos #vivaclassicbitcoincore 2025-05-06T16:36:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdfz4etj7lyfau6xy9dud4j078m984vy5c0ykjxcg972ze2s297uqzyqlyjvgssveajhgz2d3wttdnxcymaxwcpltxyf9hgqk5le3v3la8k2d9wpz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfqjtvecej6xwxrwmjmywwedy4t7hctztaufenha64ppatckcdy3gppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0pfrdvu'>nevent1q…rdvu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This probably doesn&#39;t have a clear answer, but: How much pushing do you do before reconsidering, or perhaps deciding to push from a different angle? 2025-05-05T14:55:13Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswjawelrmuulrvad8x260wxu0hx6nl2tegd23guga32fllqaf0qjqzyqlyjvgssveajhgz2d3wttdnxcymaxwcpltxyf9hgqk5le3v3la8kj27zdk Given the current saga in Bitcoin Core, it&#39;s worth remembering that &#34;votes&#34; are cast by the Bitcoin implementation (and version) that you run, not by the pull requests that get merged.<br/><br/>But the source code is indeed important. In case shit hits the fan, which I don&#39;t expect, I made a Git bundle out of the Bitcoin Core source code. At ~270 MB, it&#39;s small enough to fit on a USB flash drive, for safe keeping.

The idea is to provide tooling and bundles to make it mind-blowingly easy to install and use different Smalltalk implementations and images, all at the same time.<br/><br/>For example, if you have a Smalltalk image, you can open it right from your file browser:<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/86b6c47d5f2bd6309f10ef7fc7619d3dcce23d35dac47cc3875796d4045c5cfb.png"> <br/><br/>Right now I only have a &#34;bundle&#34; for Cuis 7, but soon it will be possible to install various versions of Cuis, Squeak, and Pharo Smalltalk, all at the same time without conflicts.<br/><br/>You can also launch a &#34;bundle&#34; using an app launcher or menu, which will then produce this Zenity prompt:<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/80b20448b5515a1919b17506276dd8056b5d83ef850f61a75f098b38d0251101.jpg"> <br/><br/>Creating a new Smalltalk image is damn fast because the image is already in the Nix store. Just choose a directory, or create a new one, and before you can blink your eyes the Smalltalk image will appear before you, executing with an appropriate Smalltalk virtual machine, ready to go.<br/><br/>Gone are the days of fumbling around, downloaded VMs and images, extracting them, .... boring.<br/><br/>Well, that&#39;s the idea. The project is still in it&#39;s infancy, but you can play with it here: <a href="https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/smalltalk-nix">https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/smalltalk-nix</a><br/><br/>If you have the Nix package manager, and Nix flakes enabled, you can just do this: nix run github:emmanuelrosa/smalltalk-nix#cuis-7_0<br/><br/>Before you know it, you&#39;ll have Cuis Smalltalk 7.0 right in front of you.<br/><br/>#nixos #nix #smalltalk 2024-10-12T19:42:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw5kwc2a4wfhzhuy7cxcw0adezcsmf77ksn98dt6ajn6zl98run4szyqlyjvgssveajhgz2d3wttdnxcymaxwcpltxyf9hgqk5le3v3la8kuer4kj I recently mentioned that Bisq 1 is now marked as broken on Nixpkgs because OpenJDK 11 was removed.<br/><br/>I came up with a solution to get us by until Bisq 2 is feature-complete. The basic idea is this:<br/><br/>1. Create a NixOS-friendly AppImage of Bisq 1.<br/>2. Keep a copy of the AppImage in a safe place.<br/>3. Either use the AppImage, or use a bisq-desktop package with a pinned Nixpkgs, so that you can still access OpenJDK 11.<br/><br/>All of the above can be done with the Nix flake <a href="https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/bisq-for-nixos">https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/bisq-for-nixos</a><br/><br/>Note: It&#39;s very likely that NixOS users using Bisq will soon discover that it can&#39;t be built anymore. Since NixOS doesn&#39;t track its users (how dare they!), this build failure is actually the best method we have to communiate that action needs to be taken. I&#39;ve been emailed in the past by people using Bisq on NixOS, so I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll here from them soon :)<br/><br/>I plan to remove the Bisq 1 package from Nixpkgs after the November stable release.
