| Charles | yeah weird that looks fine to me | 23:11:42 |
| validitymaiden | thanks for that lol | 23:11:44 |
| Charles | have you tried turning it off and on again | 23:12:01 |
| Charles | does nix config show show the expected experimental features? | 23:12:30 |
| validitymaiden | i actually did lol. i restarted my macbook just to see | 23:12:32 |
 aidalgol | Oh, this is on macOS? I might be less helpful, then. | 23:12:56 |
| * Charles doesn't know macos either | 23:13:06 |
| validitymaiden | yeah i'm running Darwin Kernel Version 24.3.0 | 23:13:34 |
| validitymaiden | Sequoia 15.3.1 | 23:13:55 |
| Charles | can you paste the output of nix-info? | 23:14:20 |
| Charles | curious if the System configuration file: line points to the path we expect (i.e. /etc/nix/nix.conf) | 23:14:46 |
| validitymaiden | nix config show | grep exper experimental-features = nix-command | 23:14:59 |
| validitymaiden | * nix config show | grep exper
experimental-features = nix-command
| 23:15:15 |
| Charles | okay so flakes isn't enabled for some reason | 23:15:47 |
| validitymaiden | nix-info isn't an available command | 23:15:59 |
| Charles | but nix-command is??? | 23:15:59 |
| Charles | oh maybe that's a nixos thing | 23:16:08 |
| aidalgol | nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m" | 23:16:36 |
| Charles | yeah try that ^ | 23:16:45 |
| aidalgol | And then you can just paste the output verbatim, because -m makes it output markdown. | 23:17:06 |

| validitymaiden | omg pasting from apple's terminal is bad | 23:17:35 |
| Charles | oh it doesn't work because extra-nix-path = nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs | 23:18:14 |
| Charles | cool | 23:18:15 |
| Charles | lmao | 23:18:18 |
| aidalgol | Something seems very wrong. | 23:18:27 |
| aidalgol | OK, just to get past this for now, add --extra-experimental-features flakes as an argument to that command. | 23:18:54 |
