Hi everyone!
I saw that NixOS is getting popularity recently. I really have no idea why and how this OS works. Can you guys help me understanding all of this ?
Thanks !

Yes, AWS gracefully sponsored 12 months of our S3 bill which gives us even more time to enact change.
That’s just the short term resolution though, the Nix community is still looking into more sustainable long-term solutions.
$9,000/mo? Have you considered not using the most ridiculously expensive method possible?
Thinking about this further…
I can purchase 10GE fiber, at home, for $299/mo.
I can purchase a solid 16 bay Supermixro server for around $5k
16TB drives are $168. There’s $3,700 left so let’s buy 21 drives (336TB, 235TB usable under raidz3 zfs). We’ll leave that last $170 for … electricity.
Leasing all of this from a regular hosting provider woul be much more cost effective. I work for one, what the heck are you doing man?
You aren’t a reputable public hoster with AWS-class uptime. That has a price too. AWS is likely overpriced though, hence the nix community still looking for better alternatives.
