  • Nix has an ephemeral command to “install” packages to try out before installing permanently. nix-shell -p <package> will install the package, and drop you into an ephemeral shell to test it out. Exit the shell and it’s gone.

    It’s also possible to install permanently straight from the CLI, but that ruins composability. To each his own.

    My bigger problem w nix is the lack of FHS and the hoops you have to jump thru to get a non standard app to work.



  • Depends on the browser. I know brave has support for direct ipfs links. There may be others. Chrome & Firefox do not iirc. It looks like you’ll need to use a ipfs gateway. I’m on my phone, so I don’t have any gateway links handy. Search for ipfs gateway on your favorite search engine. Paste your link there, you should be good to go. I think you can browse vain the ipfs desktop app, if that’s an option, but its been a long time since I looked at it, so i could be wrong there.
