@shadowrz:nixos.devYorusaka MiyabiIt just occurred to me that Garnix thinks Nix Community cache is untrusted23:25:00

@zimbatm:numtide.comJonas ChevalierDid you reach out to them? Not much we can do.06:13:01
@shadowrz:nixos.devYorusaka Miyabi

Yes, the latest response from Garnix side is this: https://matrix.to/#/!hQKBiJjjGQdiJBvMgK:matrix.org/$sVg4l7GJOvJCOVwUIBjaOr0RxLT-AU3iUjx-Ml93W54?via=matrix.org&via=t2bot.io&via=c-base.org

How do you mean? It’s just more people and systems that might be compromised and need to be trusted

@shadowrz:nixos.devYorusaka MiyabiEarlier before whey they were asked to add Nix Community Cachix, they responded with: “it's a security issue, since then anyone with push access to that cache can push malicious artifacts for any store path”07:21:18
@shadowrz:nixos.devYorusaka MiyabiMaybe you can talk about how Nix Community Cachix can be trusted for Garnix14:53:07

@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanIs there a community x86 builder with lots of cores?14:32:52

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyplease do not use all the cores15:11:39
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyat least without regularly monitoring to see if anyone else is15:11:49

@x12:matrix.org@x12:matrix.orgHi, I’ve created a small application using AI that can help new NixOS users generate configuration files. Let me know if you think this could be a useful tool, or if it’s more form than substance: https://github.com/teo693/nixos_config_gen10:31:01
@winter:catgirl.cloudWinteri do not trust any LLM to do an effective job with anything Nix related, unfortunately(?) any examples i've seen just show that they have no idea in the world about what they're doing, and just make things worsed13:27:49

@prestonh:matrix.orgPreston

I agree. Nix tends to change option names a lot over time and the most reliable source tends to be the actual source of nixpkgs. The other part of nixos in my opinion is figuring out the syntax and the architecture of nixos itself. I find that people don’t tend to not learn when GenAI does everything for them. I’m aware GenAI is a very large and contentious topic right now, but I personally believe it shifts the job of writing and architecting code into code review (great when it works, disastrous when it doesn’t). MIT also did a study finding similar effects on learning and retaining information https://www.media.mit.edu/articles/a-i-s-effects-on-the-brain/.

Overall, very cool, and I think there’s potential, but I also think that the tool may need to help step people through what it’s doing so it can be a tool for learning not just click a button, pay 100$, and you have a “working” app or OS for about 3 weeks.

@k900:0upti.meK900I looked a bit, and sorry, but it's terrible13:42:00
@k900:0upti.meK900Lots of outdated data13:42:04
@k900:0upti.meK900Lots of weird copy/pasted nonsense13:42:26
@k900:0upti.meK900In a lot of places it's just objectively wrong not even on Nix things13:44:34
