 chemonke | * Hello Nix Friends!
I am currently looking for a way to use my upcoming master thesis (~ Feb. 2026, 8 month duration) as a trojan horse for a career with NixOS. If any of you know companies or researchers that could be interested in facilitating a NixOS based thesis in a life science related field, I'd be extremely grateful if you could pass the word along.
I have a ~14 year background in chemistry, and I'm currently doing my masters in life science with the data science specialization. To give you a rough idea what that could entail; two things that I will propose to one of my professors are:
- Reproducibility in GMP regulated environments (pharma)
- Distributed / federated learning with homomorphically encrypted data (sensitive patient data, for example)
But I am totally open to any ideas to do with NixOS :)

| ners | I found a weird edge case in switch-to-configuration, if anyone cares to help me investigate it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/421902
(before someone suggests it: it's not caused by the rust rewrite, I tried it with the perl version too) | 20:40:22 |

 Arian | I think you are not waiting for the provision unit? | 18:17:37 |
| Arian | The test is just racey. You need to wait for the unit to be started up no? | 18:18:01 |
| Arian | Or hmm switch-to-configuration should wait for it to be started as well | 18:19:55 |

| das-g | Do we already have a logo? If not, I propose this one, which I just made from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Canton_of_Z%C3%BCrich.svg and https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/blob/master/logo/nix-snowflake.svg | 22:13:46 |
