I was thinking the same.

However, reading through the docs, the author clearly knows about Nix/Nixpks and has factored some of its properties into the design: https://docs.yoebuild.org/nix.html


Actually, quite an honest and in-depth review with many genuine good points about the state of Nix. If you genuinely need sub 1GB image sizes, you would have to reimplement many of the Nixpkgs conventions like glibc/systemd.

I’d still probably just implement this in Nix/Nixpkgs so I could leverage the rest of the ecosystem but that’s not trivial at all.

I wouldn’t even say Nix as a language is better than Starlark. The author is certainly well informed in the choices made.


What does locking down the device have to do with the CPU architecture?


ARM based devices don't have boot anything you want like x86 platform - in practice.


Adding to this.

x86 Most random Linuix ISOs will boot on anything. I've seen software compiled before the hardware had finished being designed boot just fine. (in the latest case lstopo was very confused, but everything still worked!)

ARM, I go looking for a build for my chip/device in particular.

x86 I just buy hardware and it works, ARM I check for OS builds before buying, and wonder if the builds will continue to get updates.....


cough that name is already in use ;) https://github.com/jo-m/trainbot


sorry about that :)


no worries, it is mostly unmaintaned now.


They have problems due to high humidity in the server room ;)


I have something similar, but open fzf to select the branches to delete [1].

    function fcleanb -d "fzf git select branches to delete where the upstream has disappeared"
        set -l branches_to_delete (
            git for-each-ref --sort=committerdate --format='%(refname:lstrip=2) %(upstream:track)' refs/heads/ | \
            egrep '\[gone\]$' | grep -v "master" | \
            awk '{print $1}' | $_FZF_BINARY --multi --exit-0 \
        )

        for branch in $branches_to_delete
            git branch -D "$branch"
        end
    end

I have a somewhat similar setup on the application layer (rootless podman, quadlet), but it's NixOS, and there still is SSH ;)

In Sep 2025, voters in Zürich, Switzerland, approved a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers as well. Additionally, even electrical ones can only be used October-December. Source: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-democracy/zurich-voters-b...


There a similar one, but it's the Swiss public transport system: https://tramli.ch/


i had to look it up: Vienna too https://straba.at/


I love that they are also imitating the real sign desing just like OP.


yes, there are.


So, not very safe.
