 splurged | Thanks for the tip. I do manage my nixpkgs with npins but for that to work I would need to enable flakes. :) | 09:30:46 |
 zoë (she/her) | * apart from an alias i can't think of anything; however, if your <nixpkgs> is managed with npins (or some other pinning mechanism) through nixos or home-manager, you can use the trick outlined at the end of jade's post about npins and flakes
(see my home-manager config)

| zoë (she/her) | ah yep, that's a caveat. personally i have it enabled for convenience even though i avoid flakes; it's both for this trick as well as for when i need to work on others' projects that use flakes | 09:32:51 |

| zoë (she/her) | i don't think it changes the behaviour of anything i use, so it doesn't really matter | 09:33:31 |

| splurged | Yeah. I totally understand. It would be the pragmatic approach. I'm trying to keep my experimental-features at a minimum. I'll keep that in mind when I get tired of typing -f "<nixpkgs>". | 09:38:46 |

| zoë (she/her) | (yes i reverted to going to nixpkgs for the homepage because with a name like that it's not exactly easy to find) | 09:41:10 |

|  rowan joined the room. | 09:45:11 |
| rowan | Hey, sorry if I've missed the obvious, but is there a room/chat somewhere specifically for the LixCon next week? :) | 10:06:42 |
| zoë (she/her) | on matrix I'm not sure, but there also the zulip channel (and the con website for general info) | 10:22:48 |
 raitobezarius | We will probably make a Signal group rather than a Matrix channel because IME, Matrix is not super reliable for in-real-life conferences | 10:25:05 |
| raitobezarius | (and make a public link for everyfew to join) | 10:25:11 |
| zoë (she/her) |
a Signal group
one more messaging app to install...

| raitobezarius | i mean, the matrix channel is usually not very usable in practice ^^ | 10:53:47 |
| zoë (she/her) | oh no i definitely agree it's a better choice | 10:55:04 |

 delroth | meanwhile, FOSDEM: | 12:12:58 |
| raitobezarius | i was in the FOSDEM Matrix server and I couldn't use it personally ^^' | 12:14:57 |

 blitz | Hey lixers! Does anyone know what the current status of the work on capnproto is? I'm wondering what my options are to talk to the Lix daemon from Rust without FFI to C++ | 17:41:33 |
| blitz | (background: I'm currently removing the FFI in attic that talks to the nix daemon via the c++ libraries and I'm wondering whether shelling out to nix-store is the only option at the moment) | 17:43:09 |
