 David Arnold (blaggacao) | Because knowledge is fundamentally fungible. | 18:55:06 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Observable attributes are not. | 18:55:34 |
 @timdeh:matrix.org | well I guess it depends on what you mean by knowledge, because kernel hashes of running processes still fall into the category of knowledge to my mind | 18:55:42 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Those would be trustes, observable, attributes. After having got past the problem of boostrapping trust. | 18:56:19 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * Those would be trusted, observable attributes. After having got past the problem of boostrapping trust. | 18:56:36 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | And the quality of the trust anchor remains, as always, no constant. | 18:57:10 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | If the kernal is compromised, then... | 18:57:21 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * If the kernal is compromised, so is trust. | 18:57:33 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * If the kernel is compromised, so is trust. | 18:57:48 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | If the attestor is compromised, so is trust. | 18:57:59 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | A short lived certificate is only fungible during its TTL. | 18:58:58 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I think all this kind of shows: keeping high frust levels about an identity is primarily a runtime concern. | 19:05:31 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | * I think all this kind of shows: keeping high trust levels about an identity is primarily a runtime concern. Since it's at runtime that intruders operate. | 19:05:57 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I can imagine scenarios where fungible yet long lasting identities is actually what is desired, for example a crypto wallet's private key. | 19:10:17 |

| @timdeh:matrix.org | forget about nixos-option, we should remove our old hack | 22:46:03 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | just enter a repl and load the flake with :lf . | 22:46:12 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | then you can see all the declared options from nixosConfigurations.yourSystem.config | 22:46:32 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | ah great, thanks - I'll try that instead | 22:46:49 |
| 26 Oct 2021 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | We should probably remove that then. 🙂 | 00:14:08 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | ... an opportuity for PR-merged-in-5-mins. 😆 | 00:15:02 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | indeed, bonus points if you replace it with a script that just does the above repl trick for you perhaps? | 00:19:01 |
|  @grahamc:nixos.orgchanged room power levels. | 01:15:49 |
|  @mjolnir:nixos.org changed their display name from mjolnir to NixOS Moderation Bot. | 02:00:11 |
| @mjolnir:nixos.org set a profile picture. | 02:00:28 |
| @mjolnir:nixos.org changed their profile picture. | 02:23:42 |
| @mjolnir:nixos.org changed their profile picture. | 02:33:13 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | Do we still need lib/compat for other things in the template?
Do you know how to pass arguments for execution to the interactive command nix repl? | 08:31:43 |
