Inb4 Google pulls an Elon and starts requiring sign-ins, which will kill Invidious and Piped, along with a lot of their userbase.

The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates, which means VCs are investing less, meaning that operating at a loss is becoming less profitable, which is leading to Big Tech’s greed becoming much more obvious.
NixOS is a fully declarative and reproducable system.
What this means is that you can create a single
configuration.nix
, which includes all of your applications, settings, aliases, environment variables, user account + groups, etc., and copy that over to another NixOS machine (including different architectures) and runnixos-rebuild boot
to completely reproduce the system on that other machine.The nix package manager is also really good at telling you if the configuration will break anything, where, and how, and refuses to apply until the issue is fixed.
Also every time you use
nixos-rebuild
, it creates a new generation of your NixOS install meaning if something ends up breaking, you can reboot into the old system.So for example, I can theoretically have the exact same configuration across my desktop, laptop, phone, server, etc., minus the automatically generated
hardware-configuration.nix
, which is specific to the hardware.Also Nix supports package overlays, which means that you can modify an existing package while the maintainer still keeps it up to date.

Yeah. I could definitely see them implementing some sort of IP-based rate limiting, though.
