Tried running ssh -L 5555:127.0.0.1:443 root@<ip> (the other command tried to ssh with my username and didn’t work) then opened the localhost:5555 in my browser but i got a connection reset error, terminal was outputting this:

channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused

Tried with the other 2 ports I have opened in the VPS’ firewall config (80 and 3478), but both didn’t work too

I ended up finding out that it installs it correctly if I run nix run nixpkgs#nixos-anywhere -- --flake .#generic root@<address>, but I think that’s still something worth adding to the config just in case thanks I’ve also fixed the network issue but my nextcloud instance is still unreachable i need to find out why

i mean my profile isn’t my straight up IRL, and the only ppl who knows me IRL and online are ppl I trust enough for that, I ain’t gonna show my online identity to an IRL I don’t trust enough. Cuz of where I used to live i took an habit of I making sure to separate my online and IRL identity

mostly friends, tried to make them switch but yk it’s kinda like when trying to make someone switch from whatsapp to signal

I mean yea that’d be nice but most of the ppl ik uses the other platforms, and most of the stuff are there too

it’s okay that was a good guess

i think imma go with that, tho i’d prefer if i could have my config stay pure i’ll have to troubleshoot more

that kinda sucks, i tried to un-override all flakes ik could use nodejs so they can use their verson of nixpkgs (which should allow nodejs 20) but nope still broken

so overriding this potential flake’s nixpkgs input won’t apply my permitted insecure package ? dam i thought it would, ig i gotta hunt for that flake now

yea I’m in fact evalutating a flake, u can find it here, but I usually override my inputs’ nixpkgs input with mine. I’m using nh to rebuild my config, running nh os switch -H nixos

Yea I’m pretty sure I’ve also did this correctly since it in fact worked just fine with this electron package I’ve had in here for a little while now. Looking in nix-tree and searching for nodejs but the only nodejs versions I’m finding are 24.14.1 and no sign of the insecure version. Tried exporting the env and rebuilding my config but it didn’t work either

o i didn’t know those worked just like regular urls, makes sense now

o yea that did work, I didn’t find anywhere where this could be documented so I had no idea, thanks a lot!!

Well that does works, idk if it’s the best way to do so tho, I did reuse ur timestamp function tho thanks

o yea this did work, i went with the first snippet but im curious abt what the better thing abt diong it in multiple files

yea no idea why, only happens when i override these two packages

well this only happens when i use the override on these packages so i suppose it is related

yea that worked, now im getting this tho:
