 tomberek | nice, i like manix | 20:59:14 |
 David Arnold (blaggacao) | If anyone might double-check the regex for the output of manix "" : manix_hits="^# ([\w.-_']+)" | 21:00:06 |

 @timdeh:matrix.org | Does anyone know how to unpin a message in element? I seem to have accidentally pinned a message and I can't seem to remove it 😅 | 21:05:53 |

https://gist.github.com/blaggacao/979e85107db0b884da502d1e5243f0a9 I tried using the alias here (mnix) but when i run it there is only two entries (__ and w) | 21:35:53 |

|  6aa4fd joined the room. | 23:45:05 |

| 6aa4fd | to follow up on what i was saying about home-manager, the ambiguous status of flakes in the ecosystem is a big one, i have had issues with upgrading because of separate nix-command versions (upgrading other machines from channels to flakes), the lack of backports to the stable channel, and trouble mixing the two, the service file interface for doing the configuration switch (it used to error out a lot when i was upgrading) | 23:50:03 |
| 6aa4fd | i can't summon like two years of minor annoyances, but there have been enough where i thought "this is a great idea, but it is probably never going to be as stable as i want it to be" and that isn't a knock because wrangling a bunch of end user applications, and keeping in step with nixpkgs is i'm sure not fun, but still, tech debt it remains | 23:51:04 |
| 6aa4fd | if i was doing things from scratch, i would probably write my own modules, and just wrap the binaries with config files written to /etc | 23:51:44 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | are you referring to just home-manager or devos as a whole (just to clarify 😅) | 23:52:54 |
| 6aa4fd | home-manager, i know nothing about devos | 23:53:16 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | okay cool, I thought you were referring to us when you said "tech debt", my bad 😆 | 23:54:05 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | but yeah, I get what you mean, it can be a little annoying, we've had a few bugs show up here and there, I guess it's simpler since once we resolve them here, they are resolved for all of us | 23:54:39 |
| 6aa4fd | nah, i can't really go in for templates, preconfigured stuff, etc. i am not a software dev either so not your audience | 23:54:43 |
| 6aa4fd | yeah you have a narrower model of what you are doing and expecting out of home-manager right, and also you have documentation you make and share | 23:55:10 |
| 6aa4fd | i just have myself, the code, and my .zsh_history | 23:55:31 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | sometimes that's all that's needed | 23:55:57 |
| 6aa4fd | https://gitlab.com/6AA4FD/stow/-/blob/master/flake.nix i think i may have also hacked together something that is vaguely similar to what you guys are working on in a more disciplined fashion | 23:57:15 |
| 6aa4fd | basically no library to speak of, just a bunch of modules | 23:57:57 |
| 22 Aug 2021 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | yeah that was essentially the motivation for the project in the first place. I noticed a lot of patterns were getting redesigned over and over so tried to see if maybe we could get some consensus going. | 00:00:03 |

I noticed a lot of patterns were getting redesigned over and over so tried to see if maybe we could get some consensus going. did you guys end up doing anything about repo mixing? that is a repeating pattern i have seen a ton of | 00:01:31 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | perhaps, what do you mean by repo mixing exactly though 😅 | 00:03:25 |
| 6aa4fd | mainly using unstable packages in your configuratino | 00:04:29 |
| 6aa4fd | like at a basic level | 00:04:47 |
