 K900 | It is not lesbian nix | 17:32:36 |
| K900 | It is also lesbian nix | 17:32:39 |
 Rutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to ping | we just like strawberry and raspberry ice cream ;þ | 17:33:13 |
 helle (just a stray cat girl) | it was kind of originally for layered nix, but then that concept got dropped, but the name stuck | 17:34:44 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | lesbian nix is just a joke people make about it because of well, the number of marginalised people, including a high number of lesbians working on it | 17:35:48 |
 Qyriad | it genuinely was not even the original intent by the name "Lix", believe it or notbu | 18:06:38 |
| Qyriad | but it was definitely a good reason to stick with the name and definitely motivation for the branding color scheme | 18:07:10 |
|  5five5 joined the room. | 18:20:26 |
 piegames | Well I'm not a lesbian, so clearly it must be Lonbinary Nix | 20:21:18 |
 toonn | I can't help but make the lix -> licks association and think of furry sysadmins. | 20:50:50 |

|  @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat changed their display name from n4ch723hr3r (stuff in name is cringe) to MOVED TO n4ch7@n3831.net. | 00:16:10 |

|  Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) joined the room. | 17:43:58 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) | gcroots have to be symlinks to nix store paths (potentially indirectly) right? | 17:45:53 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) | not, say, empty files that have the same name as a path in /nix/store | 17:46:09 |
| Qyriad | correct, also not just any symlink is a gcroot | 18:30:05 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | not me wanting to aggressively take away nix-env and nix profile away from new users and replace them with warnings sigh, such a foot gun if someone actually intends to want declarative configs but well is running into old documentation | 18:51:19 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) | presumably only if it points at the canonical base path of a nix store path?
so /nix/store/hash-name and not /nix/store/./hash-name or /nix/store/hash-nam file? | 19:04:19 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) | * presumably only if it points at the canonical base path of a nix store path?
so /nix/store/hash-name and not /nix/store/./hash-name or /nix/store/hash-name/file? | 19:05:37 |
 neobrain | how would you do declarative config? Rely on NixOS's global configuration and/or home manager? | 19:06:43 |
| neobrain | * how would you do declarative program installation? Rely on NixOS's global configuration and/or home manager? | 19:06:52 |
 aloisw | Also I think they need to be somewhere in /nix/var/nix/gcroots. | 19:26:31 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | In reply to @neobrain:matrix.org
how would you do declarative program installation? Rely on NixOS's global configuration and/or home manager? flakey-profiles is my favourite for per user (on non nixos), nixos global otherwise (both of these actually come from the same flake.nix in my dotfiles repo in my current setup | 19:26:39 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | https://github.com/lf-/flakey-profile it was literally the first thing we used, declarative installation imo is like part of the whole point of using tools like lix and an ecosystem like nix | 19:32:02 |
