Nix on macOS Catalina

Nix on macOS Catalina

I'm writing this gist for my own records but it might help someone else too.

Installing Nix

Support for Catalina has improved a lot since the update was first rolled out.

Note: See the NixOS manual for discussion of the --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume option.

#!/bin/bash
# !!WARNING!!
# This will DELETE all efforts you have put into configuring nix
# Have a look through everything that gets deleted / copied over
nix-env -e '.*'
rm -rf $HOME/.nix-*
rm -rf $HOME/.config/nixpkgs

Golang landmines

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

func print(pi *int) { fmt.Println(*pi) }

OSX VPN Scripts: The built in Mac VPN client doesn't have too many options but you can easily apply custom settings via scripts. Here are some examples of how to customize your VPN connections. Just put these two files in /etc/ppp and customize. Make sure you `chmod 0755 /etc/ppp/ip-up /etc/ppp/ip-down`. For more information, see `man pppd`.
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/ppp/ip-down
#
# When the ppp link goes down, this script is called with the following
# parameters
# $1 the interface name used by pppd (e.g. ppp3)
# $2 the tty device name
# $3 the tty device speed
# $4 the local IP address for the interface
