<p>Have you been defining them directly in your flake.nix file?  I too am on nixos but I keep all my configurations in their native format and symlink them with nix, that way I can take and reuse that config on a non nixos system easily.<p>The problem I have found is that nixos doesn't seem to pickup and run systemd timers and services placed into the ~/.config/systems/user folder and additionally things like WantedBy=default.target have no effect.<p>So after I restart all my services manually on reboot  I agree, systems timers are cool.</p>

<p>A camera doesn't stop those acts though, it may only discourage those who know about it at a huge cost of privacy and rights.<p>How about we build better infrastructure and regulate vehicles since those do actually stop this behavior.  Most of those red lights and stoplights in the US should be roundabouts.  Narrower lanes and other traffic calming measures should be much more pervasive. Vehicle size, specifically bumper height is out of control.<p>Compare US traffic and pedestrian deaths to the rest of the world, or at least a lot of EU countries. Its embarrassing.<p><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/mm7408a2.htm#F1_down" rel="nofollow">https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/mm7408a2.htm#F1_down</a></p>

<p>I was all for this legislation, thinking the positives outweighed the cost, but after reading the list of affected services, I now disagree.<p>Why didn't they just legislate that all social media apps content must be like Facebook in 2005. No recommendations, chronological timeline only, and you only see posts from users you explicitly added.  That would have benefited everyone forever, and not enabled some small subset of apps to collect your govt id or the law to be irrelevant when the next popular social network comes along.<p>They effectively banned only the popular cigarette brands, instead of regulating nicotine.<p>If services would argue this would make them all the same, then add a clause where the user can opt in to have an algorithm shove content at them like now if they are over 18.<p>This way everyone can use the basic service for true socializing, but the harmful stuff is actually regulated out by default.<p>Too much money etc for this to ever happen, but geez they could have done a lot better.</p>
