I'm on at 5PM in the 45 Drives - JR Ballroom.\n\nMy talk is titled Stop Breaking Things: A Gentle Introduction to NixOS in the Homelab. We'll be covering Nix, Flakes, and how to build more resilient infrastructure in Nix. Here's the official abstract:\n\nDoes your home lab feel too fragile to touch? Are you feeling a little burnt out? Join me for a gentle introduction into NixOS in the home lab. We'll talk about declarative package management, reproducible builds, self-documenting infrastructure as code, and how to never break your Plex server again.\n\nSELF is free to attend, so come join us! To follow along, find my slides at self2025.aly.codes.",
