 kdn | I've read an interesting thing at https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixifying-kubernetes-with-nix-csi-easykubenix-and-dinix/70899/25?u=kdn
WIP: A little patch to Lix that updates registrationTime in Nix database of packages as soon as they’re queried meaning we can garbage collect based on that registrationTime and keep the cache hot. (Kinda like attic but with just Nix and OpenSSH).
did it land yet?
| 08:40:34 |
 K900 | That's a horrible hack | 09:23:10 |
| K900 | And will never land like that | 09:23:14 |
| K900 | There are plans for changing how the store database works though, which should allow tracking these kinds of things better | 09:23:37 |

 0x4fbb09 it/its ⛯✇ΘΔ | free docs change: nix-store --gc's man page says nix-store --gc --max-freed $((100 * 1024 * 1024)) when there's specifically a feature to let you do --max-freed 100M | 23:05:07 |
 emily | I don't think Lix has that change? | 23:12:27 |
| 0x4fbb09 it/its ⛯✇ΘΔ | the same man page mentions it up above | 23:14:47 |

The argument bytes can be followed by the multiplicative suffix K, M, G or T, denoting KiB, MiB, GiB or TiB units.

 mjm | lix is now in nixos-unstable, what's the best way to use it in a NixOS config? | 15:47:41 |
| K900 | nix.package = pkgs.lix | 15:47:54 |
| K900 | Probably | 15:47:58 |
| K900 | Or just keep using the module | 15:48:02 |
 puck | you can use nix.package = pkgs.lix; if you want; but using the overlay will guarantee more updates (tho less binary cache) | 15:48:44 |
| mjm | well, the module/overlay doesn't easily support using the one from nixpkgs | 15:48:44 |
| mjm | i do want more binary cache | 15:49:21 |
| mjm | yeah i guess i'll just do nix.package then | 15:50:43 |
 raitobezarius | to have binary cache and HEAD, we will probably need to track the channels and bolt a lix on there and rebuild with our own CI then push in our binary cache | 17:33:17 |
