About
Nix Vegas is a group of Nix users and developers who are passionate about the obscure side of the world's largest Linux package repository and build system. Whether that’s using nixpkgs to break insecure hardware and software, or using Nix’s reproducible builds to help solve supply chain security issues, come to learn about the quiet revolution that's reshaping software, find your own place in it, and maybe even grab a closure of some tools you're looking for along the way.
We've got demos, talks, and our own collection of hosted infrastructure that you can get an account on if you need dozens of cores for DEF CON shenanigans. Newbies and users of any distro are welcome!
Hosted by the SoCal NixOS User Group and Distractions, Inc.
