 sterni | I’m not sure this actually solves the problem unless —store dummy:// etc also change the state directory | 06:55:32 |
| sterni | nix-instantiate —parse (and often —eval) don’t need to write to the store and don’t need profiles but it tries to create those nonetheless, feels fixable to me definitely | 06:56:37 |
| sterni | piegames: the probably most portable way to work around it would be to set NIX_STATE_DIR to a temporary directory in the drv, you may also need to set NIX_STORE_DIR, not sure | 06:57:46 |
| sterni | you can find plenty of examples of this in nixpkgs | 06:57:57 |

 ShalokShalom | Could the Cloudflare issue been prevented by a configuration setting, that would make the rebuild fail? | 10:08:24 |
 K900 | ...what | 10:15:02 |
| K900 | What "Cloudflare issue" | 10:15:06 |
 Arian | wrong chat maybe? :D | 10:18:36 |
 toonn | Maybe they mean "If Cloudflare used NixOS they wouldn't've made the mistake." | 10:19:47 |

 ToxicFrog | K900: I'm guessing the recent one where a bad config push caused them to crashloop for a while | 11:39:34 |
 truh | I've definitly deployed crashloops with nixos too. | 12:05:01 |
 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | @k900:0upti.me just that I remember to, may you leak something about the secret handling thing | 13:05:30 |

| K900 | I don't think it's written down anywhere, but it has been discussed a hunch | 13:46:49 |
 aloisw | … or it doesn't try to write to the state directory, unlike the real store. | 15:28:02 |

 WeetHet | Why does nix repl follow the structure of nix-command while not being experimental? Was it always like that? Is this yet another cppnix historical artifact? Does this mean that nix-command is impossible to remove without a breaking change? | 12:44:01 |
| WeetHet | nix repl docs suggest that
│ Warning
│ This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.
Name
nix repl - start an interactive environment for evaluating Nix expressions
Synopsis
nix repl [option...] installables...
Note: this command's interface is based heavily around installables, which
you may want to read about first (nix --help).
| 12:44:48 |
| WeetHet | Why is it not behing nix-command | 12:44:55 |
| WeetHet | Why is there no nix-repl that would work like a normal nix2 program? | 12:45:13 |
| toonn | It was always like this, there was no repl before nix repl. | 12:46:37 |
