Video

Hi Mischa! I have a few video suggestions for you if you dont mind. 1. How did you go from here (this video) to being the one you are now (Microsoft MVP/CKS)? What life changes did you made and how did you do it? 2. Can you do a walkthrough on your entire macOS setup (hotkeys on virtual screen switching, alacritty tiling, window tiling hotkeys) Apologies if i commented on this video as this way you'll notice my comment much more. Congrats on all your achievements and to all you future achievements! - Sev

Your argument for using bash is a bit confusing. In most systems tmux isn't even installed so more often you'll have to install/set it up. So why would that be so bad to do the same with zsh? Plus you can script it fairly easily with some kind of .dotfiles to just install zsh and git and then clone your dotfiles and run a quick setup. That and the syntax for zsh shell scripts and bash scripts isn't all THAT different and you can stick with a POSIX style between em both for consistency reasons.

Does this have shopbot for d2r?

This was a really smart alternative way to do this. I like the idea of keeping it all compliant with the vscode dev container formula.

Good video!

Thanks a lot Mischa !!!! 🙏:)

So sad. Even microsoft devs don't use windows.. or surface laptop.. is those products that bad and expected us to use.... 🤣

Hi bro, Can you share me your colorscheme on your terminal and lazyvim?

Wild stuff. Thanks for sharing your setup and thoughts behind it all.

I spent weeks trying to figure out devcontainers in neovim. Now I just use nix shell. It’s an amazing solution. With direnv I cd into my project, all dependencies are loaded and setup, and I even load a custom zellij layout. So all my panes are already setup on a per project basis

all the things you do in your setup script you can do in nix :)

Good video. I like the point with the devcontainer that you don't force your way of working onto others. If you have too much free time, I can recommend ZaneyOS. It is a preconfigured NixOS that makes it easy to get started with NixOS. I like NixOS, but I also think it's hard to get going. I spent almost two months configuring my setup, and I'm currently pretty proud of it.

Really love your conent😊 Please Make a detailed video on how nix and nixos... Can be utilised in the devops world

Hey friends, I hope you enjoyed the video! I have a small favor to ask. I'm trying to grow my Twitter account, so I'd appreciate it if you could give me a follow. 🐦 twitter.com/mischa_vdburg It's a free way to support me and the channel! I've also started a newsletter. Feel free to check it out: 📰 mischavandenburg.substack.com/

How collaborative is this approach? Will there be issues when multiple people connect to it?

Very Nice !!! I'm "doubling down" on @CristianHeredia0 's comment: Looking very forward to your next video using nix instead of homebrew. Thx Misha 🙏😊

I use nix and nvim on osx and primarily develop in docker compose containers, so I’m eagerly looking forward to the next video. Using nvim inside of docker , with my conf, is a pain point I’ve been trying to solve for years.

Surprise you hostname same with me

Oh... Nice !!! Thx Misha. I had recently "wrestled" with this question. Great solution. Please though: Share the devpod + nix alternative soon : )

I have a 3-node proxmox cluster (with Intel nucs) and I've been playing with them for around 4 years. I love doing it because my learning and skill development process will never be dependant of any external platforms and employer's infrastructure. I strongly recommend setting up a homelab and self-hosting everything that you'd run/use in the cloud! I've got my own gitlab instance running pipelines with terraform and ansible and provisioning all my infra. I will post more repos once I finish my CKS.

This is pretty good, but motivation is immediately work from any computer. Is at least questionable about project what u are working, because ur motivation looklike could resolved ssh. Other hand how many time u should to run from different laptop? But i know real reason why u did it. Is pretty simple. U buy a cluster for home and try to find how to utilize it) I know this felling because i'm the same)

I'm looking to replace my MacBook with a different laptop running two systems (Linux for programming) and (Windows for gaming). Which laptops do you suggest?

Maybe it's also an advantage to have the same things but in Rust?

I know tinkering about audio on Linux is super super annoying but have you looked at audio interface alternatives that are compatible with Linux? Especially with the new arm based snapdragon laptops coming out I'm really intrigued about going full Linux, even for content creation. But I understand that if you're doing this professionally, too much fussing around to get simple things working can be really annoying (& costly).

A Microsoft MVP using Mac. Blasphemy - I Like IT! xD

Really cool video! Thank you! 🙏 Just a small question... why don't you use Emacs? It's just one software that covers almost all the features you shown! 😜

I started using devbox and really like the nix experience without containers.

My nvim config has a setup for auto installing my lsps, linters and formatters on first open as well, this is why I went for a custom cfg instead of using lazy. Took a little extra setup at first, but is smooth now.

I need to setup a homelab with tailscale and using this setup I can use a macbook air to handle all my needs to work remotely with great workspace separation and compartimentalization of stuff

Great usecase for different customer/projects working with Devcontainers and Neovim, thanks alot!

this is good stuff. another awesome tools, thanks for sharing Mischa!

I really confused why you worry like this?? You already know you're exceptional and i really agree on your skill also your personal is very approachable. Why don't you think working with African people specifically East Africa Ethiopia 🇪🇹 specially in cloud infrastructure ??

Wonderful topic and good video. Perhaps, I am going to subscribe your channel depending on your next video. IMO, your method is copying your neovim config every container and repeat it many times making it difficult to maintain, and which is different from vscode's client and server architecture. Nix can help automatically maintaining different but similar configs by pinning different commints . Working with mountable shared volumes or directories and nix's Experimental Local Overlay Store, the storage of the container will be small and much more portable. I am really looking forward to your next video. My further question is: how to combine the project its own container and code base with devcontainer? Config in devcontainer.json from images? and base on it to install your config?

I love your videos, relaxing and informative!

Legit! the tradeoff is worth it as you can modify the environment as needed if custom variables or tool versions are needed. Bringing neovim along is a must! I'm gonna add neovim to my security research container soon!

Excellent and really interesting. I would much like to separate my various customer work in a safe and predictable way. Nix seems so hard to get my head around (not interested in the OS, only the package management part). Looking forward to your next video. Thanks and take care.

first, autoliked

Hi Mischa, this video is extremely helpful. While I'm not yet going for the CKS, as you know, I'm planning to take the CKA in the near future. This video has a lot of great tips that I will take to heart. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Around the pandemic I started noticing this word ‘homelab’ on CZcams. After a bit, I realized I had to build my own. It’s been so rewarding and a great learning experience for me. I’ve built up my rack and learned so much by ‘doing’ the work. I’m going to start doing as you suggest by documenting my lab on GitHub next. I look forward to that challenge. My current project is building a 4 node Kubernetes cluster of Raspberry Pi Computer Module 4s. I look forward to not only building this out but also taking the time to document it as well.

You wasted 10 mins of my life to only try to sell me a product…😂

i think this video is great man! one of my biggest mistakes is not documenting stuff i GOT to fix this but yea yaml hell is rough lol i just barely escaped the last 2 months 3 months and still land in purgatory sometimes 💀

Home lab counts as experience! Awesome!!!
