lord_fomo | hmm, this also feels like something that could fit well in a "libre boot" ecosys come to think of it | 19:38:23 |
lord_fomo | where the bios comes up with sshd + basic image waiting for a deployment | 19:38:47 |
lord_fomo | huh, speaking of, TIL that pxe is now part of the uefi std? | 19:39:58 |
K900 | Always has been | 19:40:17 |

The concept behind the PXE originated in the early days of protocols like BOOTP/DHCP/TFTP, and as of 2015 it forms part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) standard. In modern data centers, PXE is the most frequent choice[1] for operating system booting, installation and deployment.

lord_fomo | oh well i didn't know then | 19:40:33 |
lord_fomo | and it's weird they quote "since 2015" there then | 19:40:41 |

lord_fomo | ahh but maybe that's when uefi became a std ? | 19:42:48 |
lord_fomo | 🫣 | 19:42:54 |
lord_fomo | K900: so i guess shorter question is, have you used / known-about-anyone-using pxe booted nixos and if so is there anything i can read / lurk-on about it? | 19:44:48 |
K900 | I do, but it is not public information | 19:45:16 |
lord_fomo | ahh ok | 19:54:56 |
lord_fomo | hmm this is kinda what i'm after i guess.. next-gen NBPs | 19:55:36 |
lord_fomo |
In regard to NBP development there are several projects implementing Boot Managers able to offer boot menu extended features, scripting capabilities, etc.: Syslinux PXELINUX gPXE/iPXEAll the above-mentioned projects, when they are able to boot/install more than one OS, work under a "Boot Manager - Boot Loader" paradigm. The initial NBP is a Boot Manager able to retrieve its own configuration and deploy a menu of booting options. The user selects a booting option and an OS dependent Boot Loader is downloaded and run in order to continue with the selected specific booting procedure.

@er10:matrix.org | one more easy question :
cat /etc/nix/nix.conf | grep sandbox
sandbox = false
sandbox-fallback = false
extra-sandbox-paths = ```
while
`configuration.nix` has
nix = { settings = { sandbox = true; }; };
How can I change the `sandbox=false` value in `nix.conf`to `true`
Thanks in advance for any indication.
