@k900:0upti.meK900 Posted this in #bootspec:nixos.org but also going to post here: my refind/sbctl/secure boot thing is actually at a point where you might want to run it: https://gitlab.com/K900/bootis 08:04:09
@k900:0upti.meK900If you want to give it a try, please do and report back08:04:20

@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)

So the zlib issue is perplexing me:

On Darwin, I can't get the test that fails to to fail at all, while on Linux I can only get it to segfault in the build sandbox -- it fails without segfaulting otherwise.

😅 not sure what to think of this

@rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nlMindaviProbably the behaviour of curl is different when sandboxed (the way nix does it on linux)15:24:51

I don't see why curl would do that tbh

@rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nlMindaviI remember something about dns resolving, but I also don't know much details15:50:43
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentze getaddrinfo and friends are disgustingly environment-dependent 17:21:50
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentzehttps://tailscale.com/blog/sisyphean-dns-client-linux/image4.png17:21:55
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentze this is the simple version, with no nsswitch.conf in the mix 17:22:07
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentzeso I can totally see it doing something different depending on what files it does/doesn't see in the sandbox17:22:26
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentze all kinds of random things start happening once you sandbox programs away from their "conventional" environment. I have observed toybox' grep starting up more than 10x faster than normally when there are no locale databases present 17:36:51

I have observed toybox' grep starting up more than 10x faster than normally when there are no locale databases present (it still works exactly as it should, of course, because locales are a misfeature nobody has ever missed, ever) 17:45:49

The thing is, the curl dev was able to repro the segfault without a sandbox, while I can only repro it within a sandbox. Just seems so weird...

@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI think a few people (ajs, ris, me) have been playing fallback maintainer for packages that should have maintainers, but surprisingly don't 😄20:00:17
@andreas.schraegle:helsinki-systems.de@andreas.schraegle:helsinki-systems.deso, anyone want to sign up for maintaining openssl?20:00:27
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaor curl20:00:34
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaor microcodeIntel20:00:41
@andreas.schraegle:helsinki-systems.de@andreas.schraegle:helsinki-systems.deI already have nss, maybe I should just take up all the tls libraries20:00:44
@hexa:lossy.networkhexadon't forget botan2 then20:00:54
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)
In reply to @hexa:lossy.network
or curl
tempted to take this tbh

mbedtls anyone?
runs away screaming
20:01:29
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)mbedtls isn't hat bad last i checked?20:01:37
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) * mbedtls isn't that bad last i checked?20:01:39
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) what's bad about it K900 20:01:48

polar…ssl?
20:01:55
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathere's also lots of packages maintained by eelco, but eelcon hasn't really been contributing to nixpkgs in that sense in a while20:02:18
