I'm not the original author, even with the YouTube title being as is, but what do you mean? Perhaps relying that the desired services exist as nix packages, or that nix packages have desired defaults or exposes desired config parameters?
There are two other nix media server config projects I can think of, but I think this approach mostly facilitates the install, but not the entire initial config setup, given that a lot of the stack's internal state is captured in databases rather than text config files. So simplifying the backup and restoration of such databases seems the next best thing to persist your stack configs with nix.
Yeah, any details published so far have been rather vague. I like the prospect of writing my backend UI logic in a memory safe language, but that falls short of benefiting from doing so end to end.
Supposedly Qt would be in a decent position to use their own static analysis and testing frameworks for hardening such bridge interfaces, but using a memory safe system programming language for everything would be ideal. Are there any Rust based UI projects that are looking at ISO certification to ease integration as a Software of Unknown Pedigree?
