 Zoe Z | I'm not seeing it documented in the installer | 17:45:38 |
 aloisw | Not sure if the installer supports it. Manual installation is definitely possible (but of course quite annoying). | 17:47:15 |
 raitobezarius | https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/1009 we have this tracked | 17:48:21 |
| raitobezarius | which is an active investigation case | 17:48:34 |
| raitobezarius | cc KFears (burnt out) do you know? | 17:49:13 |
 WeetHet | Wrote a nix run alternative in haskell which doesn't use any experimental features. Doesn't work with all fetchTree-accepted links but works with tarballs and paths as well as just nix-run -p something similar to nix-shell

| WeetHet | I had to jump through so many hoops to make sure it works with tarballs, at first I was hand constructing expressions to extract the binary path but in the end I had to parse the derivation obtained by nix-instantiate-ing the attr and extracting the output path and using nix-instantiate with -A to extract meta.mainProgram | 18:27:21 |
| WeetHet | Because import-ing a url doesn't work but instantiating it does | 18:28:40 |
| WeetHet | As well as importing it via NIX_PATH but that ends up not working if I write -I smth=<nixpkgs> because recursive resolution doesn't work for some reason | 18:29:26 |
 KFears (burnt out) | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
cc KFears (burnt out) do you know? The installer doesn't support it, or at least, not in a designated capacity | 18:41:34 |
| KFears (burnt out) | It supports installation to Docker containers, which I think implies single-user, but it is not a configurable option or "target", so to speak | 18:43:01 |
| KFears (burnt out) | I don't remember off the top of my head if it uses root or the current user (if image builder used USER directive) | 18:44:02 |
 Yureka (she/her) | git.lix.systems is giving me 504 Gateway Time-out | 19:24:35 |
 uep | same.. i see the earlier announcement, perhaps it's happened again? | 22:03:42 |
 delroth | not the same issue, but there was a downtime earlier, investigating what's happened this time | 22:38:01 |
| delroth | probably bot traffic taking stuff down as usual... | 22:38:06 |
| delroth | yeah, just a massive traffic spike AFAICT | 23:04:46 |
| delroth | crawlers crawling | 23:04:53 |

| marshmallow | ci using lix-project/flake-compat is struggling today | 00:04:02 |
| marshmallow | * ci using lix-project/flake-compat are struggling today | 00:07:38 |
| delroth | this should now be fixed | 00:21:08 |
| delroth | we've been having issues with archive downloads the whole day | 00:21:14 |
| delroth | and we think we've worked around it now | 00:21:20 |
 ekler | great timing, i already wanted to get rid of flakes anyway
| 00:33:43 |
| ekler | looks cool | 00:33:47 |
