I'm working on switching over to NixOS on my desktop and one of the last things I haven't got fully working is my neovim config. My LSP's are able to start, and all of them work fine except for clangd. For some reason, it can't find C/C++ header files for any installed libraries. I have all of the LSPs themselves installed through Mason in Neovim, and I have programs.nix-ld.enable = true enabled so they can be run correctly.

Here is the shell.nix file I'm using for this project:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell.override { stdenv = pkgs.gccStdenv; } {
  nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs.buildPackages; [
    glibc libgcc
    clang-tools libclang
    SDL2 SDL2_image SDL2_sound
  ]; 
  CPATH = pkgs.lib.makeSearchPathOutput "dev" "include" pkgs.glibc pkgs.SDL2 pkgs.SDL2_Image pkgs.SDL2_sound;
}

Is there something extra I need to do to get clangd to find the C headers being used by the project? when I actually run gcc it compiles fine, it just can't seem to find them correctly in Neovim

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm using this shell with direnv and launching nvim directly from the same shell that I'm compiling from

I have a virtual source and a virtual sink which I'm using to forward audio to/from chat apps (Matrix, Discord, Zoom, etc.) so I can control the mic/output volume independently of everything else on my system. I have them setup and working fine using pipewire.conf.d files. The problem is that using wpctl to change volume requires having an ID, but those aren't static. Normally the solution would be to use @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SOURCE@ (or sink), but that wouldn't work in this case. Is there a way to adjust volume/toggle mute without having the ID? Or alternatively, is there a way to get the ID for a specific node name that I can put in a bash script?

If I'm asking this in the wrong place, is there a better place to go?

I wanted to see if video uploads work, I may have a few hours in celeste

My bytes.programming.dev's main feed is erroring again. It looks like everything else is loading fine, I just can't see anything on the timeline for some reason. Is it the same DB issue that was happening last time?

EDIT: I just checked and it seems like it's back

Not really sure if there is a better place to put this, but is bytes.programming.dev having issues for anyone else? I can log in but my timeline doesn't load at all.

I'm trying out NixOS on my laptop right now and I'm loving it so far, but I was thinking of setting up distro box for ubuntu (mostly for a few developer environments dependent on it) and arch (for packages that aren't on nixpkgs yet). I was wondering about the battery life hit on a laptop and I couldn't find anything definitive on google/ddg. Has anyone here noticed a difference?
