Home Manager Manual This manual will eventually describe how to install, use, and extend Home Manager.

I've used nix-community.github.io/home-manager/ to great success over the last year or so, but every once in a while I just got the nix error that I have no idea how to resolve.

mise.jdx.dev is a freaking joy to use. I gotta figure out how to get it to "replace" homebrew too (maybe I can just write a brew backend)

Here I am, building a platform to run pipelines based on Wasm Components, thinking it's pretty cool.

Then I learn @bruhks.bsky.social builds a CLI where commands and plugins are Wasm Components, with all the benefits that brings.

There's a high chance the `pipestack` CLI will follow that pattern!

This delimits your subcommands, and while it doesn't technically create a separate group, it's visually identical.

Found a wonderful clap hack in #rustlang, I wanted to enable multiple subcommand headings for a plugin system I'm working on but that isn't implemented yet.

But one simple line:
cmd = cmd.subcommand(clap::Command::new("\n\x1b[4mPlugins:\x1b[0m").about("\n"));

I'm convinced that a great review strategy on GitHub when you have high trust in the PR creator is to approve and leave comments for all your nits / questions. Set your branch rules to require all comments to resolve to merge, then the creator can respond appropriately and make changes if needed.

Every time I shake my phone and an app asks if I wanted to report a problem it sparks joy. Like, all these developers thought if someone RAGED at their app so much they shook their phone, that it would be helpful to ask for some feedback. It’s so pure πŸ₯Ή

Is there any particular type of runner on GitHub actions that's most available? I have a pretty simple workflow that I just want to get picked up as fast as possible, and I'm noticing `ubuntu-latest` can take sometimes ~30 seconds to request (first world problems, I know)

You mean my totally hand-written "Join us on this journey of discovery, where every layer, every pod, and every cluster tells a story of progressβ€”and where the possibilities for the next chapter are as boundless as the cloud itself." isn't getting past the filters?

What does it take to get a project on the GitHub trending list? Seems to be mostly based on star momentum, but also a large increase in a single day? πŸ€”

Do you have the same experience testing things in GitHub workflows for Windows? I think generally our #rustlang projects run great w/ unit tests, but we lose running containers & the interactive tty

That's a good idea πŸ€” I mean I do have a Windows box as well, it's really just that I don't use either in normal dev flows / before we release. One of our recent bugs came up around canonicalizing paths, though, so I doubt PowerShell on Mac would help with that one

It's more of a limitation on maintainer expertise and time :/ None of the maintainers daily drive on Windows, and the interactive bits of our developer CLI just act differently on powershell in a way that we can't test effectively

It's a sad day when you finally resort to "If you're on Windows, you should install WSL" in your quickstart πŸ˜”

Thank you @cncf.bsky.social for the Contribfest sessions at #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon! We had a bunch of new contributors show up for @wasmcloud.com and can't wait to apply for it again next year.
