 sterni | I was messing with this (https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/commit/e9cccd47e216f0b90d68e471162a651176feb5b4/lix/libstore/build/derivation-goal.cc#L918-L931), but can't seem to see any effects of it. Is this exception somehow propagated from the daemon to the client, so I need to deploy a separate daemon or am I missing something? | 18:33:01 |
 K900 | Yes, it is | 18:34:28 |
| K900 | That's exactly what is happening | 18:34:33 |
| K900 | This is fully formed on the daemon side and then passed to the client as one big string | 18:34:46 |
| sterni | ah that's already helpful for understanding what's going on. is there a good setup for working on the daemon side, then? | 20:19:55 |
 niko ⚡️ | If you run lix as root you can bypass talking to the daemon | 21:31:10 |
| niko ⚡️ | It used to be the default, inherited from nix, but nowadays I believe lix always talks to the daemon unless specified otherwise | 21:31:36 |
| niko ⚡️ | Alternatively you can run a daemon with a different store directory and connect to that instead | 21:32:38 |

If you run lix as root you can bypass talking to the daemon Oh god | 21:43:21 |
| KFears (they/them) | Is this the CppNix way of making Nix work in containers? | 21:43:46 |
| sterni | it's just single user nix | 21:56:17 |

 delroth | for anyone (presumably in europe) planning to attend lixcon and still stuck not having a train ticket because SNCF is dumb and doesn't understand the concept of people planning trips more than 3 months ahead of time: apparently they'll start selling tickets for around lixcon dates on Jan 28th | 08:10:04 |
| delroth | (or so they say, I'm not sure if they're to be believed) | 08:10:23 |
 kfiz | Is this currently (going to be) supported in lix? https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.22/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-shell#use-as-a--interpreter | 08:24:36 |
 0x4fbb09 it/its ⛯✇ΘΔ | works for me, i use that | 11:07:09 |
 toonn | delroth: Belgian rail system doesn't depend on reservations like many others. | 11:12:11 |
| toonn | delroth: It's a show up, pay and get on kinda deal. | 11:12:27 |
| toonn | Frequency between the airport and the central stations in Brussels is pretty high as well, so you shouldn't worry too much. | 11:21:29 |
| toonn | Also, I'd even recommend against getting tickets ahead of time because strikes are not unheard of. | 11:21:59 |
| delroth | ok, but lixcon isn't in brussels, making this a bit beside the point :) | 11:31:57 |
| toonn | Oh, sorry, I saw SNCF and assumed FOSDEM >.< | 11:32:30 |
| delroth | given that FOSDEM is literally next weekend I sure hope train tickets are already available | 11:32:59 |
| toonn | The advice would still apply. Don't get them in advance. | 11:34:15 |

Is this currently (going to be) supported in lix? https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.22/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-shell#use-as-a--interpreter That might have been backported by me a year back, but I'm not fully sure. If it wasn't, it was because maintaining that functionality would be hard | 11:34:25 |
| KFears (they/them) | In any case, I would advice to test if it works | 11:35:07 |
 jappie | belgian rail is going on a strike this week (25th - 30th, including both of these days), though usually they're pretty good at only listing trains that actual run in the route planner (website / app)

| delroth | this is getting very off-topic but this is wrong advice for basically anyone who doesn't already live in belgium - ICEs have early bird pricing, eurostar/thalys does too, etc. | 11:35:48 |
