 just1602 | * Something, something, floral... we should create a list of changes like that we want to operate :D | 15:40:39 |
 McBeth | is there a koffi/patreon/venmo/whatever where I can throw a tiny donation your way? | 15:47:31 |
| McBeth | I've wasted so much stupid time thinking I was smarter than this | 15:47:46 |
 Rutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to ping | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
https://opencollective.com/afnix/donate See here (and messages around this for contrxt) | 15:49:47 |
| Rutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to ping | (urgh, consistently working search on matrix when) | 15:50:22 |
| Rutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to ping | Though, overall imo this should be up on the lix website somewhere. It should be easy to find any kind of statement | 15:50:58 |
| McBeth | I will claim I searched for a while there :) Thank you | 15:53:00 |

I will claim I searched for a while there :) Thank you Same :D | 16:10:18 |
| Rutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to ping | when are the docs on our website being updated/rebuild? because even the "nightly" version doesn't have changes which have been merged to main for some time | 17:29:16 |
 kloenk | IIRC helle (just a stray cat girl)posted a few days about a todo regarding auto doc rebuilding? | 17:31:10 |

| pltrz | Hi guys! Newcomer interested in switching to lix/nix, from Alpine/Gentoo flavoured systems. Preparing for my first install: would you guys recommend a Flake-based or non-Flake based configuration? Why? | 19:20:12 |
 Acid Bong | each method has its pros and cons, there's no objective preference, choose your poison yourself | 20:22:23 |
| Acid Bong | but note that many nixified projects are flake-only or have limited non-flake usage (for example, Cachix' git-hooks.nix (Pre-commit wrapper) doesn't support substituting your own instance of pkgs) | 20:24:01 |
| Acid Bong | (i'm not sure tho, if general Nix ecosystem is ontopic here or better fits #Nix / NixOS 🤔) | 20:25:18 |

| pltrz | acknowledged; thank you! | 20:30:32 |
 thubrecht | You just have to find the right entrypoint, in that case, the following works:
git-hooks = import (source."git-hooks.nix" + "/nix") {
nixpkgs = source.nixos-unstable;
gitignore-nix-src = null;
system = builtins.currentSystem;
isFlakes = false;
};

gitignore-nix-src = null;

};
wait, will gitignore-nix-src = null; isFlakes = false; actually work? looking at this code, i see it needs gitignore.nix to be non-null | 20:52:41 |
| thubrecht | It is only used if you want to build the pre-commit check via a derivation, if you only care for the shellHook then it is unused (also the isFlakes = false is unnecessary after all) | 21:04:33 |
| Acid Bong | but it still initiates a new instance of pkgs in that default.nix 🤔 | 21:20:34 |

 Jez (he/him) ♾️ | error: unable to download 'https://cache.lix.systems/wd3z3fax8460zifpzi4v50zfq5l2jfbv.narinfo': Connection timed out after 5005 milliseconds (curl error code=28) 😭 | 12:01:43 |
| Jez (he/him) ♾️ | is cache.lix.systems down temporarily? | 12:02:04 |
 raitobezarius | Yep, that's correct | 12:02:46 |
| raitobezarius | It will probably down for a while alas... | 12:02:54 |

 mjm | lix is now in nixos-unstable, what's the best way to use it in a NixOS config? | 15:47:41 |
