 balsoft | See for example https://github.com/serokell/pegasus-infra/pull/23 | 16:07:44 |
| balsoft | Where we just resorted to manually updating in a separate pull request rather than dealing with all the commits | 16:08:10 |
 zrsk | In case any of the flakes fail to update, update-daemon will exit with a non-zero exit code (but still finish updating all the other flakes);
But what does this (from README) mean?
It fails only if the strings replacement in flake.lock fails or is it also running tests/checks?

It fails if some part of the operation fails. | 16:39:12 |
| balsoft | It doesn't run any checks, it goes through the usual review process, which includes CI | 16:39:34 |

 Dee | hm, running nix flake metadata on a dirty Nixpkgs tree takes about 7 seconds, but running it on a clean tree isn't done even after 70 seconds | 22:49:29 |
| Dee | I assume this is because with a clean tree it... counts the commits or something? | 22:49:40 |
 edrex | balsoft I'm reading some of your nixos-config modules for ideas | 22:55:46 |
| edrex | i'm curious about the pass-based secrets management and using envsubst. Have you written about that anywhere (issue threads, design notes or whatnot)? | 22:57:50 |
| edrex | i'm working on a module for setting up device-specific stuff esp networking (like, which interfaces are trusted LAN, etc so I can configure everything with a consistent policy. your devices module is a good template for that sort of thing (nothing non-obvious in it, i just like following established patterns over making up my own) | 23:00:48 |

| edrex | i didn't know envsubst existed. | 23:03:06 |
| balsoft | It's quite... hacky | 23:03:14 |
| balsoft | So I'm not sure it's actually something to be reused as-is | 23:03:24 |
| balsoft | But it's a good source of inspiration I think | 23:03:34 |
| edrex | yeah | 23:03:36 |
| edrex | i'm using agenix and quite happy with it, with a few nits | 23:04:51 |

| balsoft | The learning experience is as important as actually getting a good system going. | 23:07:22 |
| edrex | I feel nixos as it is rewards a certain level of willingness and experience blazing trail | 23:07:51 |
| edrex | it's really both a programming language community and a linux distro, which is kind of unique. | 23:09:44 |

| edrex | what's the deal with the "packages .. have the same priority messages when trying to nix profile install nixUnstable or bashInteractive? | 17:56:27 |

 Las | edrex: You're trying to install packages that provide the same binaries. | 18:03:06 |
| Las | You likely already have a package with the binary in your profile. | 18:03:18 |
