 Arian | We should simply have no /etc except for some very exceptional legacy cases | 08:11:32 |
| Arian | And avoid it at all cost. | 08:11:40 |
| Arian | It's the same philosophy as hermetic usr but one step further | 08:11:55 |
| Arian | It relies on software being configurable at runtime where to read their config from but this is almost always the case | 08:13:19 |
 Ramses 🇵🇸 | But if you do that, can you easily change the unit dir when switching generations? Looking at the systemctl manpage, I don't immediately see a way to change the value of this flag | 10:03:22 |
| Arian | It's an environment variable. It gets picked up on systemctl daemon-reexec | 10:30:21 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | Ah ok, that sounds like a great idea then | 10:53:36 |
 @adam:robins.wtf | Would we keep /etc in the search path still, allowing users to put their own non-nixos units there? | 12:24:41 |
| Arian | Yes | 12:31:40 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | My current plan is to try appending the unit path on the kernel command line to give myself a path I can control, but I still need to test it. /etc would be cleaner and more standard though | 12:37:31 |
 @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | systemd-tempfiles seams to be struggling to delete some files. Returns a permission error.
| 14:41:01 |
| @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | I find it somewhat funny that I've only encountered it by looking at the background.slice status.
| 14:41:36 |
 eliasp | just digging through my system, I find sooo much broken stuff that I document ~50% of it at best in my local notes…
…of those, maybe another 25% make it into a bugreport | 14:57:42 |
| eliasp | latest find… KDE applications whose window just disappears (broken Wayland connection?), but still has an app unit with the process inside etc. | 14:59:22 |
|  Qyriad changed their display name from Qyriad to qyriad. | 16:37:39 |
|  lisipu joined the room. | 18:10:18 |
| Arian | which files? which permission errors | 18:56:13 |

|  @ncfavier:matrix.org changed their profile picture. | 10:43:37 |
| Qyriad changed their display name from qyriad to Qyriad. | 21:41:03 |
| @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | In reply to @arianvp:matrix.org
which files? which permission errors I have a rule (defined in home-managee iirc) to regularly clean up my downloads directory and while it does clean up files some(?) dirs persist. | 23:54:08 |
| @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | I am not with my computer atm but I swear it should be cleaning up sub dirs too, right? | 23:54:45 |

| Arian | Sorry this is completely insufficient amount of information to give any kind of help lol | 08:55:19 |
| @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | Mb, I was sleepy. What information would be helpful to debug this?
| 08:59:09 |
| @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | The rule in question is the following: "e /home/srestegosaurio/net-files 700 srestegosaurio users 7d -".
| 09:02:45 |
| @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | It does work for files.

 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Looks like we have a possibly serious systemd-boot bug: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/systemd-boot-failing-to-boot-a-nixos-warbler-system-due-to-an-efi-assertion-failure/61450 | 17:29:53 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | It's probably upstream | 17:30:05 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | * It's probably an upstream issue | 17:30:10 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | anyone seen this before? | 17:30:14 |
