 JoelMcCracken | i read them from the filesystem | 03:41:15 |
| JoelMcCracken | or from environment variables | 03:41:23 |
| JoelMcCracken | they're totally exteneral to nix tho, stored within ~/secrets | 03:43:19 |
| JoelMcCracken | i have a thing which syncs the contents of what is in ~/secrets with what is in a specific bitwarden | 03:43:51 |
| JoelMcCracken | it has a goldbergian aspect to it but it works | 03:44:10 |
 mei 🌒& | JoelMcCracken: typically you need to update everything ~together-ish, at least HM and nixpkgs | 13:30:43 |
| mei 🌒& | and emacs-overlay, though it has breaking changes less frequently | 13:30:58 |
| JoelMcCracken | ty! | 13:31:25 |
| mei 🌒& | also, i love this | 13:31:42 |
| mei 🌒& | 
Download image.png | 13:31:45 |
| mei 🌒& | i also do that :P | 13:31:51 |
| JoelMcCracken | oh yeah | 13:41:40 |
| JoelMcCracken | i'm a big printf debug | 13:41:45 |
| mei 🌒& | i'm really not sure what to do with emacs' modality where it occasionally crosses the line of self-modifying executable, but Not Usually | 13:41:49 |
| JoelMcCracken | for a number of years i was a Debuggers Are The One True Way person | 13:42:27 |
| mei 🌒& | like i test new things on one of my machines and use the other one as a 'prod' workstation usually, for work and other things that don't want to wait for the latest changes to be flushed out | 13:42:31 |
| JoelMcCracken | and, if there is one that is easy to use, I do use it | 13:42:54 |
| JoelMcCracken | I need to start doing this too | 13:43:37 |
| mei 🌒& | let's not use threads i've heard they're very broken | 13:44:00 |
| JoelMcCracken | ok | 13:44:05 |
| JoelMcCracken |
'prod' workstation
yeah i need to start doing this
| 13:44:26 |

'prod' workstation
yeah i need to start doing this
| 13:44:37 |
| mei 🌒& | the thing is currently NDE nearly forces you to wait for the whole damn rebuild cycle | 13:45:02 |
| JoelMcCracken | for what i had been doing before as I've been trying to make all these packages work, it involved basically re-running home manager over and over | 13:45:44 |
| mei 🌒& | doom doesn't encourage this and nix does but there's a big Mess to resolve when we make them touch | 13:45:49 |
| JoelMcCracken | yeah | 13:45:57 |
| mei 🌒& | In reply to @JoelMcCracken:matrix.org
for what i had been doing before as I've been trying to make all these packages work, it involved basically re-running home manager over and over yeah for me this takes a while because my evals are quite big | 13:48:48 |
| mei 🌒& | so i usually eval at point in my org config | 13:49:10 |
| JoelMcCracken | one thing about working on nde directly now is that I can run the check thing to see how its working | 13:49:22 |
| mei 🌒& | a friend who wasn't on Nix yet at the time could just M-x package-install and that was like. wow | 13:51:06 |
