Deploying to a v6-only machine, such as those given by many VPS providers, alongside some mobile networks, is not possible
| 13:29:30 |
| hexa | that's not the case if the website is v4 only though | 13:29:40 |
 Vladimír Čunát | I suppose they were using https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-22.11 or something? | 13:30:24 |
| hexa | right, maybe we should deprecate and break that for good | 13:30:43 |
| Vladimír Čunát | www. here won't help. | 13:31:34 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * www. here won't help in the current setup. | 13:31:41 |
| hexa | channels.nixos.org is the proper thing these days | 13:31:59 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Yes, that seems to be working on IPv6, at a glance. | 13:32:35 |
| hexa | it's behind fastly | 13:32:43 |
| Vladimír Čunát | default = "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable";
description = "Default NixOS channel to which the root user is subscribed.";
| 13:34:28 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I really do suspect that even some recommended workflows will just break right now. | 13:35:22 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * I really do suspect that even some recommended workflows will just break right now (if you're IPv6-only). | 13:35:38 |
|  7c6f434c left the room. | 13:36:01 |
 dramforever | i feel that https://nixos.org/channels is working too well to break outright, but we can probably start moving all users to channels.nixos.org | 13:36:54 |
| hexa | nixos.org/channels is a redirect for channels.nixos.org | 13:37:10 |
| hexa | one that preserves the path | 13:37:21 |
| hexa | are you sending a PR | 13:38:07 |
| hexa | * are you sending a PR? | 13:38:08 |
| Vladimír Čunát | No, certainly not right now. | 13:38:21 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * No, certainly not me right now. | 13:38:28 |
| hexa | well, this is certainly not breaking, so I will | 13:38:34 |
| dramforever | i'm honestly surprised how few places we've hardcoded nixos.org/channels | 13:39:01 |
| hexa | the ideal was also to just deprecate it long term | 13:39:31 |
| hexa | like end of 26.05 or 26.11 | 13:39:40 |
| dramforever | one thing is the fake channel: url scheme in nix | 13:39:40 |
| hexa | * like end of 26.05 or 26.11 support cycle | 13:39:50 |
| hexa | cc Mic92 | 13:40:06 |
 Mic92 | that would take a while before it's rotated out... | 14:06:57 |
| Mic92 | People will always find a way to use a super old nix. | 14:07:11 |
