 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea it's a nixos test | 19:15:02 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | that could be the case | 19:15:15 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | this is all very nearly simultaneous | 19:15:22 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Well, it appears I've got openvpn started and the ip address is set, but the server can't ping it.. | 20:21:31 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | * Well, it appears I've got openvpn started and the ip address is set, but the server can't ping it | 20:21:34 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Oh. That might be because the non-systemd-initrd test is also failing to ping it... | 20:24:23 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Derp. It's because I commented out the minimalboot stuff, which changed the DHCP lease ordering, so the numbers weren't hard coded right | 20:58:31 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | But, now that the test works, openvpn in initrd boots like 6 seconds faster for some reason | 20:58:51 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Maybe because openvpn can start in parallel with nixos activation? | 20:59:13 |

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | So in order to use networkctl, you need dbus, as far as I can tell. | 02:27:53 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Ugh | 02:27:57 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | But NixOS supports two different dbus implementations so that makes it trickier to implement that | 02:34:23 |

But NixOS supports two different dbus implementations so that makes it trickier to implement that I mean, we could technically only support one for initrd, because it doesn't need to live past initrd, right? | 02:37:11 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Possibly. Just feels a little disingenuous to tell the user they've replaced dbus with broker, but then not do that in initrd :P | 02:37:55 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | Yeah, that's fair | 02:38:42 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | it also just feels weird to have dbus in initrd at all | 02:39:00 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I mean it'll be socket activated so the only cost will be size | 02:39:09 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | but still | 02:39:13 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
it also just feels weird to have dbus in initrd at all Yeah, it does a bit | 02:39:50 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
I mean it'll be socket activated so the only cost will be size I imagine broker is much smaller if you only want to support one, though... | 02:39:59 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I imagine supporting either will be pretty minimal in terms of size | 02:40:22 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Well... I removed the dbus-daemon binary from the initrd and networkctl still worked... The dbus.service failed, but networkctl didn't seem to care? | 03:06:42 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | wtf | 03:06:52 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh, just networkctl status worked; nothing else seemed to | 03:11:09 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Finally marked this as ready for review: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/169116 | 04:56:39 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | It's slightly a hodgepodge of a bunch of little requirements to make everything work, so you might want to take it a commit at a time | 04:57:33 |
 @andi:kack.it | That is reading the internal key-value files in /run | 10:34:23 |

| @lily:lily.flowers | Janne Heß: Do you think you could clarify the license situation for https://github.com/helsinki-systems/plymouth-theme-nixos-bgrt? I would like to package it in nixpkgs, if that's okay | 23:45:27 |

 @hexa:lossy.network | oh, a spinning logo 😄 | 00:05:24 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | i want it | 00:05:34 |
