raitobezarius | other Linux systems may have weird LSM that slow down things | 01:05:28 |
raitobezarius | or you may have an enterprise software EDR that slow down things | 01:05:35 |
raitobezarius | * or you may have an enterprise software EDR/security that slow down things | 01:05:40 |
Winter | gotcha (i don’t, to clarify( | 01:05:48 |

raitobezarius | yeah, just trying to rule out foreign reasons | 01:05:58 |
Winter | will collect some better timings tomorrow | 01:06:01 |
Winter | thanks 🫡 | 01:06:05 |
raitobezarius | np! | 01:06:09 |

vczf | :doc lib.trivial.pipe produces no documentation in nix repl, but the other functions there work fine.
There’s what looks to me like properly written documentation in <nixpkgs>/lib/trivial.nix yet it doesn’t show up in repl.
This is the same for lix and cppnix latest. Anybody know if this is likely a bug in nix command implementation or rather in nixpkgs? | 05:55:01 |
m | I've installed NixOS at some point last year influenced by someone I follow. Their installation included flakes. Since then, I've read so many things about flakes having been experimental for ages as well as controversial.
What's the general take within the Lix community? Would I just be better off? | 08:10:44 |
K900 | It doesn't really matter | 08:11:15 |
K900 | If flakes work for you, use flakes | 08:11:19 |
Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | i want to switch off but I haven't found an integration guide to npins | 08:12:15 |
m | In reply to @k900:0upti.me If flakes work for you, use flakes It's more like the only thing I've used 😅 | 08:12:48 |
K900 | Well is it causing you problems? | 08:13:05 |
Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | the thing that made me switch off was that i found myself circumventing flakes more than i used them | 08:13:39 |
Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | like importing default/package.nix instead of using flake attrs | 08:13:59 |
m | nope | 08:14:15 |
Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | well, for me, its more of an philosephical thing, I like the idea of flakes but not how they are implemented | 08:14:18 |

vczf | In reply to @sofiedotcafe:matrix.org i want to switch off but I haven't found an integration guide to npins I’m using eval-config.nix in my /etc/nixos/default.nix. Essentially,
let
system = “x86_64-linux”;
pins = import ./npins;
pkgs = import pins.nixpkgs { inherit system; };
in
import “${pins.nixpkgs}/nixos/lib/eval-config.nix” {
inherit pkgs;
modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
}
Then nixos-rebuild -f /etc/nixos switch works fine. My actual config is more complex with per-host modules and overlays and import-tree and a fun mess, but that’s the bones | 08:58:51 |
vczf | Here’s my flake alias lol:
fk = “nix --extra-experimental-features flakes”;
| 09:00:59 |
vczf | I’ve been avoiding flakes the second time around since it wasn’t helping me understand nix code in general | 09:01:59 |
vczf | * I’ve been avoiding flakes the second time trying to learn nix since it wasn’t helping me understand nix code in general | 09:02:17 |
neobrain | Why aren't you enabling it in your nix.conf directly? | 09:29:52 |
neobrain | (Or in configuration.nix) | 09:30:26 |
