Tired of "no space left on device" errors when building #NixOS configs in GitHub Actions? ️❄️

I've created Nothing but Nix, a GitHub Action that ruthlessly reclaims disk space 🪓 Get up to 130GB for your #Nix store instead of the measly 20GB default!

The Great GitHub Nix Space Heist 🪓❄️

I've just released **Nothing but Nix**, a GitHub Action that transforms cramped 20GB GitHub runners into 130GB Nix powerhouses!

If you've ever hit the dreaded `no space left on device` error when building NixOS configs in CI, this one's for you.

This action:
- Creates a large BTRFS volume from free space on `/mnt`
- Ruthlessly eliminates unnecessary packages in the background
- Dynamically expands your Nix store as space becomes available

The results? All my configurations now build successfully in CI:
- My home servers (media, LLMs, etc.)
- Workstations with dual GPUs
- Laptops and testing VMs

Best of all, when I update systems, everything comes from `cache.flakehub.com` with zero local compilation time. Updates that used to require coffee breaks now happen in seconds!

Check out the full technical details on my blog: https://wimpysworld.com/posts/nothing-but-nix-github-actions/

GitHub: https://github.com/wimpysworld/nothing-but-nix

Being both cheap and stubborn pays off sometimes 😉

Is #python adding #scala like features a good thing ? 👇

peps.python.org/pep-0695/

This PEP specifies an improved syntax for specifying type parameters within a generic class, function, or type alias. It also introduces a new statement for declaring type aliases.
