 emily | hosting the ISOs on Netlify 😆 | 17:45:42 |
 Winter | those are in S3 i think? | 17:45:52 |
 hexa | nah, they're on releases.nixos.org (s3 fronted by fastly) | 17:45:59 |
| Winter | yeah | 17:46:05 |
 VladimÃr ÄŒunát | Specifying DNS records in javascript? 😱 Maybe I'm biased, though. | 17:48:18 |
| hexa | I do consider dnscontrol more a DSL than actual Javascript, but yes, it gets evaluated by a Javascript engine | 17:49:13 |
| emily | you can do that with Pulumi too :P | 17:49:15 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | The file that we have there seems... more complicated that leaving it as a plain (old) zone file. Though I expect they're meant for more complex cases. | 17:51:03 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | * The file that we have there seems... more complicated that leaving it as a plain (old) zone file. Though I expect dnscontrol is (also) meant for more complex cases. | 17:51:19 |
| hexa | and how do we sync that plain zone file to netlify? 🤔 | 17:51:37 |
| hexa | and how we validate it in CI? | 17:51:44 |
| hexa | rndc check-zone? 😄 | 17:51:53 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | Sure, I didn't mean to imply I know about some better toolchain. | 17:52:16 |
| hexa | also I think the spf/dmarc builders are nice syntactic sugar | 17:52:18 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | * Sure, I didn't mean to imply I know about some better toolchain. I don't do this kind of thing. | 17:52:23 |
| hexa | and funtion(arg, arg ,arg), is imo better than arg\s+arg\s+arg\s+ | 17:52:48 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | I think this stuff often depends on whether you have a good linter. | 17:53:12 |
| hexa | I wish you would've held as strong opinions about the terraform provider 😛 | 17:53:47 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | (I'm sorry... let me not digress anymore.) | 17:54:03 |
| hexa | (don't worry, no offense or anything taken, it's a fun discourse) | 17:54:21 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | Sure, I meant it more like... it didn't seem too helpful in this particular channel. | 17:56:19 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | * Sure, I meant it more like... it didn't seem too helpful in this particular channel to continue. | 17:56:25 |
| hexa | I think the check/preview/apply workflow makes dnscontrol (any possibly also octodns) interesting solutions in this space | 17:58:20 |

 Jeremy Fleischman (jfly) | to pile on the tangent: i'm part of an org that's vaguely considering octodns. any thoughts on it vs dnscontrol? | 17:59:05 |
| hexa | I didn't choose it because it was a modular Python thing 😄 | 17:59:29 |
| hexa | also I ran various places with dnscontrol already and have made good experiences | 17:59:54 |
| Jeremy Fleischman (jfly) | hahaha, home assistant is enough modular Python for you? | 18:00:30 |
| Jeremy Fleischman (jfly) | (enough modular python for a lifetime) | 18:00:57 |
| hexa | that response was fully expected, I just didn't know who would make it 😉 | 18:01:21 |
