title.

I recently reinstalled my nixos (long story). but for some reason, tailscale refuses to install. when i reinstalled, i just copied over my configuration.nix to replace the default one from the install (not sure if that is part of the problem?). or maybe its just broken right now, and i need to wait it out?

my kid wants a portable cdplayer, and i want to get her a good one. any recommendations?

added xkcd to my rss feed and this is the text on all the posts lol

I recently switched from a pixel 6 to a fairphone 5. There was stuff like a smart screenshot (which worked half the time) and the ability to select text most of the time. The fairphone doesnt have that, and i wonder if its a first party google feature, or if theres a different rom i should use.

I have a program that I wrote, maybe I didn't package it appropriately, but I cannot got it to run. I wrote it on a manjaro install, and tested it on another manjaro install, both were fine. I packaged it with poetry and copied the wheel over.

Today I tried to install it on my nixos surface tablet I use at work. I get this error on installation:

Traceback (most recent call last):                                            File "/home/gzuh/.local/bin/willcallgui", line 5, in <module>

These are the packages i have installed... I'm trying to install it with pipx...

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    vim
    wget
    screen
    google-chrome
    openssh
    blackbox-terminal
    tailscale

What am i missing?

I'm working on a python program, and i need to sync the results to an ipad as a todo list (with checkboxes)

I had been using google keep, and manually copying /pasting the data over from my cli based app. I will be out of the country for 2 weeks, so im updating my software to no longer being cli, and ideally syncing the final list to google keep or something similar, since someone else will be running the software. You know how normies get when they see a terminal window..

tried this googlekeepapi thing i found online, but the authentication was very complicated and i couldn't get it to work. There is no specific reason we need to use google keep, was just the first thing that came to mind when we set this system up, and it works well and is cloud based.

Do yall know of any service where i can programmatically generate checkbox lists, and sync them over the web?

I should note i do not have a server available to self host. could potentially spin something up locally with a raspberry pi, but would prefer not to have another potential point of failure.
