but it was linked recently on lobste.rs and looked quite good
<danielrf[m]>
I saw that recently too. I agree it looks very comprehensive

<samueldr>
not sure if there's any tips about stripping things bare
<samueldr>
hm, I don't think it deals with software much
<samueldr>
hopefully a not-os, but for cameras, approach would work well here
<danielrf[m]>
One thing I did with my RPI camera a while back was set it up to pxe boot with an NFS-backed /nix/store
<danielrf[m]>
was very nice to avoid the slow sd card--and I could upgrade by just updating a symlink and rebooting
<danielrf[m]>
I think I'd like to do that with the pinecube
<danielrf[m]>
except, the pinecube has a ton of great features as an IP camera: power over ethernet, infrared LEDs, etc
<samueldr>
right, since you're networking it, why not run the OS from the network

neat, I think the service for controlling the modem really totally works
<samueldr>
soon™ a PR with the changes, but I want to deal with the modem firmware update first
<samueldr>
I tested the modem with LTE data successfully yesterday
<samueldr>
though I don't have a call or sms plan to test other features yet :)

You can actually run NixOS with not much RAM, but disk space is still going to be a problem.
<lopsided98>
I have a system that uses 17MB RAM (out of 64M) but still has a ~500M system closure
<lopsided98>
incidently, I am pretty sure that I'm the only person who has ever run Linux on that device

Anyone built NixOS on armv7l recently? My systems are still on nixpkgs from end of July - I tried building at a few different commits a few weeks ago, but wasn't able to find one that worked. Currently trying with master, we'll see how that goes.

patagonicus: 420f89ceb267b461eed5d025b6c3c0e57703cc5c works for me, but i have very minimal config
<patagonicus>
Thanks! I'll let it run on master until it breaks (if it does), then I'll try that one.

samueldr: one more question re phone choice: are there any devices that support a cros-like security model, where the user can take control of the device and boot it securely?
<samueldr>
only the pixel series AFAIK
<samueldr>
sphalerite: ask danielrf[m] for details
<samueldr>
but basically you can add your own AVB keys to it
<samueldr>
and at that point you can re-lock it into Android with your keys
<samueldr>
so fastboot is not unlocked anymore, and you're in control of the OS
<samueldr>
that's something robotnix helps you manage even :)

annoyingly, even though google is mostly as bad as other OEMs, they still have the better options for allowing the end-user to be in actual control
<samueldr>
(as bad as other OEMs: software updates)

sweet! I think I'll go for a pixel then :) thanks samueldr and danielrf[m] !

<danielrf[m]>
somewhere deep down in my TODO list is to make full verified boot work with mobile-nixos on pixel phones
<samueldr>
would be nice to have a reference implementation :)
<samueldr>
as hopefully I can get it useful enough that one would want to replace Android with Mobile NixOS
<danielrf[m]>
it'd definitely be nice to have the option to do so!
<sphalerite>
that sounds exciting!
<samueldr>
one thing I'd like to have documented at some point is flipping an A64 into secure mode
<samueldr>
more dangerous than enrolling your own keys into a pixel device, but still could be useful for individuals
