Modding with IPS screen is fairy easy nowadays with the GBA there is some no soldier options not sure if that is the same with an original dmg.

Another option could be a Epligoue GB operator, which allows you to play your original cartridges on pc.

[solved] nix build error /homeless-shelter (lemmy.one)

Hi all,

For my sins I've been attempting to build my nix configuration on my build server and subsequently push it into a binary cache.

I'm having an issue where the build is currently failing with the following error

error: home directory '/homeless-shelter' exists; please remove it to assure purity of builds without sandboxing

The build is being run on a docker image node:20-bullseye to be precise with the following command.

nix build .#nixosConfigurations.${{ matrix.machine.host }}.config.system.build.toplevel

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Edit.

Should have mentioned I've ran up the image with docker run and the directory didn't exist

Edit 2.

This is also about 23 minutes into the build when it throws this error; after having built a lot of packages and derivations already. I'm also using cachix/nix-install-action to get nix on the running container.

Edit 3.

Finally got it building this morning, I haven't dug into it but switching from the cachix/nix-install-action to manually installing the determinate systems nix installer (action didn't work for a strange reason).

I've been using Sway for over 2 years, and for my workflow it works well, with one exception I just can't get vscode to scale properly for my display.

Perfect food reference for Migleemo. Don't know if it was 100% intentional but perfect none the less.

Interesting might have to give this a go in a dual boot.

Absolutely loved this episode, Boimler getting wrapped in the cables when jerry-rigging the sensors had me in tears; and the Riker as he swung his leg over the saddle brilliant bit of improv made even funnier knowing Drakes directed this.

They managed to tone down the lower deckers slighter whilst still having their full personalities come through.

Pikes getting more exacerbated with them throughout the episode was well done, and the amount of physical comedy I'm running out of superlatives for this episode.

It was just brilliant, easily my favourite of the current era.

Edit. Just wanted to add, loved seeing the LD uniform in love action; thought it translated really well.

To be honest HDR wasn't something I even thought about, as my primary usage is development. To be honest with my use case I don't personally see it as a necessity but could be convinced otherwise.

That has certainly been my preference in the past, and at the moment I've lost one of my monitors to my wife, which is even more painful.

Hi all,

It's been about 8 years since I've treated myself to some new monitors, so I'm a bit out the loop where to comes to what is currently available.

I'm a software developer, so 95% of the time will be spent developing with a small amount of time gaming.

I currently have a pair of Dell U2515H.

Specs I would love

Minimum QHD resolution, Single cable solution (power, display and data over single cable) Matte display Minimum 25"

Bonus

60Hz display VESA mount

Not sold on whether to go for duel screen again or ultrawide

Budget is fairly flexible preferably under £1000 for a pair though.

Looking forward to seeing what people recommend.

If this is the wrong community then my apologies I couldn't see a monitor community.

Edit,

Thank you all for your replies, I'm currently looking at the dell u3223qe which ticks a lot of the boxes, was also considering one if the lg ultrafine models, but the usb hub + KVM is really selling me on the dell.

So while I keep looking for a little longer to make sure I haven't missed anything, I think I'm going to end up with the dell (again)

Personally I'm not convinced on the accent, at least at the moment. But the character seems like fun.
