Time to upgrade nix on my Macbook. Ran into
---- oh no! --------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems the build user _nixbld15 already exists, but with the UID
'31008'. This script can't really handle that right
now, so I'm going to give up.
during the install. I just ran through the users deleting them to let the installer figure it out afterwards
sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -delete /Users/_nixbld15
With Github recently having issues it was a nice time to see what other options folks recommend. I've run forgejo for a little bit but it always feels like a bit too much for solo projects.
Two new ones mentioned that I haven't seen before were tangled and Radicle. tangled seems like a nice integrated model but self hosting the knot is only one piece of the system. Radicle seems like a farther departure from usual forge systems.
I added a repo to each Radicle and tangled. The tangled story for CI seems nice with Nix based runner. The Radicle system is less developed.
Finally fixing my nix-based dev env on MacOS. I was getting error: tool 'git' not found when in a dev env.
sudo xcode-select --reset
sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
wound up fixing it
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist worked for me when I updated MacOS and needed to reboot. Thanks Dan!
