If you ever came in contact with #Nix or #NixOS, you probably heard of Flakes. In his talk at our latest meetup in #Mannheim, Stefan Machmeier (PhD candidate at @uniheidelberg) gave us an overview of what Nix Flakes are all about:
Scared of asynchronous I/O in #RustLang? Fear not, as @bensparks guides us through data streaming with low runtime overhead, safe buffer management, and robust error handling using the #Tokio library:
Ever wondered how you can combine #NixOS and #Kubernetes for your own selfhosted cluster? Look no further, as @andredossinger gave us a deep-dive into his homeserver setup in his talk at our latest meetup in #Mannheim:
Celebrating our first anniversary, our next #NixOS meetup is scheduled for Wednesday, December 18 at the Mathematikon in #Heidelberg. For the first time, we are separating our Nix and Rust meetup, so be prepared for another announcement of our Rust anniversary meetup.
No matter if you use #Nix :nixos: or #Lix :lix_ice: on #Linux or #macOS, everyone is welcome to join us.
Pizza and drinks will be provided. If you plan to join us, please register for the event here:

We're finally planning our next #Nix :nixos: :lix_ice: meetup in #Heidelberg, which will be set between the 12th and 19th December, celebrating our meetup's anniversay! 🎂 To make the schedule suitable for as many former participants as possible, we've set up a poll. We'll open the doors at 18:00 and start talks at 19:00. There will be Pizza for celebration. 🍕
Next year we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary. One of our goals for this milestone is to establish the association as a student initiative at the (Applied Sciences) University of #Mannheim and the University of #Heidelberg. Are you studying at one of these universities or do you know students who would be interested? Then please get in touch with us. Membership for students is free of charge and we will support you organisationally and financially with the planning of events.
