Can you provide some links to some projects? You’ve piqued my interest

I would not call these projects unbelievable, but they are neat.

Opt-in state:

https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence

https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings

Ease of setting up a real-time audio on Linux:

https://github.com/musnix/musnix

Generating virtual machines/installators from a configuration:

https://github.com/astro/microvm.nix

https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators

It's interesting to scroll through nix-darwin options, I wasn't even aware of some useful macOS options before:

A neat collection of music information retrieval packages in one place (and the ease of creating your own package registry):

I didn’t find these via HN search, I found them in my bookmarking account. I have a slightly strange way of bookmarking - I send emails to a dedicated email account, so these I found there looking for Nix in a search.

do you use special email client and host provider for that?

does it work for 10k bmarks?

Re:Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix by alchemist1e9 on Wednesday April 17, 2024 @12:11AM (#40060333)
Nope it’s just a regular email provider with IMAP support. I just send myself an email with the link and optionally some cut and paste content or notes. I have offline backups of all my IMAP accounts also. I find it convenient because I just add that account to whatever mobile or desktop environment and then can use search functionality of email client. It’s a bit silly but it’s worked out ok for me for many years now and yes definitely works for 10k emails of bookmarks, no problem.

Not super recent, but nix-snapshotter is one that I'd call awesome(but I'm also a k8s fanboi): https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter
