 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 |
