NixRecovery
File Recovery and Windows Boot Repair
What it does
Introducing NixRecovery — a Windows recovery toolkit built from real-world IT frustration. Recover deleted files, repair BCD/EFI boot issues, deep scan damaged drives, and use a bootable rescue ISO for PCs that won’t boot. Built around a read-only analysis-first workflow: the application previews findings and repair actions before changes are made. Designed to make Windows recovery safer, more transparent, and easier to trust.

- NSNix Snapshotter – Native understanding of Nix packages for containerd2023 · github.com · ▲145
Hello! This is Edgar and Robbie and we built nix-snapshotter. nix-snapshotter brings native understanding of Nix packages to containerd. We built this because Nix is a great fit for making efficient containers. They don't need an OS because Nix captures all dependencies exactly. However, the current process of creating Nix images is subpar because one needs to transform Nix packages into a format that container runtimes understand. Using nix-snapshotter, instead of downloading image layers, packages come directly from the Nix store. Packages can be fetched from a binary cache or built on the…
- NNNix Ninja – open-source Ninja-compatible build system for Nix2025 · github.com · ▲33
Hello, this is Edgar! We are open sourcing nix-ninja, an incremental build system for Nix that leverages dynamic derivations. For those unfamiliar, Nix is a powerful package manager and build system that ensures reproducible builds via strict dependency isolation. However, one of its limitations has been that it builds packages as monolithic units - if you change one source file, Nix rebuilds the entire package from scratch. nix-ninja solves this by bringing compilation unit level granularity to Nix builds. It targets ninja build files, a format for describing build graphs output by popular…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
