| Mr. Defenestrator | Did something change with the flake registry recently? I have custom registry entries that show up in nix registry list but not t when running nix flake show myflake - as far as I can tell this happened after an update, but rollbacks aren't fixing it. Across multiple systems. | 08:40:23 |

| paintenzero | I see many recommendations to put NixOS system configuration into a flake. Can somebody explain what is the profit doing it? | 12:14:59 |
 dramforever | easy management of evaluation inputs, like nixpkgs, home-manager, other people's overlays and nixos modules, etc | 12:20:33 |
| dramforever | you don't have to use flakes, see e.g. https://github.com/andir/npins | 12:20:51 |
| dramforever | if you have your own package set you can also easily use it from the cli | 12:21:19 |
| dramforever | i don't know if you're going that far yet | 12:21:25 |
| paintenzero | Ah, I see now. That makes sense. Thank you! | 12:22:23 |
 Sandro 🐧 | yep. registry is no longer used for that because it depends on user configuration | 12:36:57 |
| Sandro 🐧 | managing channels is no fun when you have more than 2 and especially painful when you have 10+ | 12:37:23 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Flakes are the defacto standard. You can use something else but that is usually gefrickel and may not be supported by everything. | 12:37:47 |
| paintenzero | And by managing channels you mean managing compatibility between all the software from different channels? | 12:47:36 |
| Sandro 🐧 | creating, deleting them, pointing them to the correct branch | 12:48:17 |
