 K900 | But what if two packages use the same source and you can't deduplicate them | 05:27:40 |
| K900 | We'd have to store an extra 10 megabytes! | 05:27:47 |
| K900 | The horror! | 05:27:50 |
 Qyriad | 😠| 05:27:58 |

Ah yes because we need even more store paths with non-descriptive names, oh boy. But at least it does not have the space sproblem there's also that issue w/r/t to reimporting folders in flakes that doesn't happen when it's named "source" | 05:28:12 |
| K900 | Just don't look at that pile of squashfs images from old ISOs | 05:28:23 |
| julia | love that one | 05:28:26 |
| K900 | Those aren't important | 05:28:26 |
| Qyriad | Something that we should write down on the "dreams" page: a VFS mirror of the Nix store that puts the names first, attaches a more descriptive label if necessary, and then the hash, literally just for convenience | 05:28:58 |
| julia | * love that one (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7075) | 05:29:20 |
| K900 | Call it elregfs | 05:29:23 |
| Qyriad | Why that name? | 05:32:16 |
| K900 | Because that's what the El Reg writer wanted | 05:32:30 |
| K900 | In the stupid Aux post | 05:32:40 |
| Qyriad | Ahh | 05:33:05 |

love that one (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7075) we have Plans for killing those flake registry shenanigans. soon enough. | 07:10:04 |
| julia | soonâ„¢ | 07:10:25 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | yeah we just have to. you know. all the other things lol | 07:10:38 |
| julia | yea | 07:13:58 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | it's not even hard to kill the flake registry shenanigans, it just takes someone with caring-cycles to throw at it | 07:14:40 |
| julia | also; i vaguely suspect this is the plan, based on what i've heard w/r/t wanting a stable API; but like the idea is to split out various features of nix (like flakes, etc) into "separate" plugins; (i'm wondering if it's like how if you install cargo-XXX then cargo XXX works as a command, and this would allow decoupling e.g. nix-shell and making it something nixpkgs produces etc?) | 07:16:10 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | yes, that will definitely be a feature of the lix cli, i expect | 07:16:35 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | nix-shell and a lot of CLI still needs to be built-in but yeah. idk. it's like several steps ahead in the plan | 07:17:33 |
| julia | mhm | 07:18:00 |
|  crazazy joined the room. | 08:34:52 |
 mjm | y'all have got me excited for Lix's development in a way i couldn't have imagined for Nix. amazing what an actual vision will do | 14:22:09 |
| K900 | I keep saying that | 14:25:31 |
| K900 | It turns out if you just let people do stuff, they will generally do cool stuff | 14:25:49 |
| mjm | a wild idea | 14:30:26 |
|  Triskelion changed their display name from Triskelion (AFK) to Triskelion. | 14:45:55 |
