 @timdeh:matrix.org | whoa boy, building a squashfs image is no joke, even for an i9 😅 | 05:27:07 |

🥳 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/50105 🎉 Maybe people want to throw in more arguments? Nomination | 05:30:13 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | Thanks, I was half joking, but I'd love to be able to move on the stale PRs that matter to my and/or my job 😅 | 05:32:00 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | seems we need as much manpower as we can get in nixpkgs 😫 | 05:32:37 |

seems we need as much manpower as we can get in nixpkgs 😫 And automation 😎🤕 | 05:35:24 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | that bit is a bit more trivial it seems ☹️ | 05:36:10 |
 re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | The security implications of supply chain attacks already make the massive workload scary, automation may add more scary... | 05:38:13 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | yeah, that was essentially the argument I got on this PR | 05:38:49 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | The modern web stacks of the word scare the bejezus out of me. | 05:39:15 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | and I come from a php background of all things 🤫 | 05:40:26 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Divide & Conquer! -> Flakes. | 05:47:56 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | The difference to the massive workload that oss in general stems would be the relative qualification of the people that tend to using nix. | 05:48:53 |

hmm, a build of the devos iso has me in a situation where I can't detect my boot drive. Do we use the installer module or the lighter weight iso one? | 05:50:56 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | Also, I think if maybe nix shipped with trustix by default any every build was cross referenced and either validated or invalidated by users collectively, we could change the software distribution game for the better. | 05:52:10 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | but then any time software tries to move to a more decentralized distribution mechanism, big money seems to fight will all it's strength to stop it 🤣 | 05:52:36 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | We'll all be computing from inside a wasm in the cloud soon enough haha! | 05:54:39 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | looking at the host I used when I made a boot iso (on usb) it uses suites.base | 05:55:51 |

looking at the host I used when I made a boot iso (on usb) it uses suites.base from devos that is. | 05:56:25 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | it just boots by disk label "nixos" if that was the question | 05:57:04 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | hmm, that is enough to pull in all-hardware.nix. I hope this drive isn't imcompatible with linux proper 😶 | 05:58:08 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | what's the drive/interface? | 05:58:25 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | No, I mean once I'm in the iso, I can't detect the drive I wish to install to | 05:58:35 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | dunno actually, this is the first time I turned it on, but the marketing would have me believe it's an nvme | 05:58:55 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | oh yeah, that could also be mmc, marketing le sigh! | 05:59:22 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I've got a pipo W12 (snapdragon arm) I want to slap nixos on, I haven't even tried anything yet, just too bogged down on my personal todo to play! | 06:00:50 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | hmm manually loading the nvme module didn't help. I'll try the official installer and see if it's something we are missing in devos, or if this hardware is just obscure. | 06:01:01 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I've also got an x79 xeon mobo that doesn't want to run the fans any less then 100% I blame it on being a hunanzhi, at least it doesn't complain when I use my own fan controller that doesn't pass the rpm to the board. | 06:03:35 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | Had the wiring so tidy on the first build, now it looks like it's in the grasp of the kraken! with a 5" bay sized display for the fan controller banging around inside. | 06:06:00 |
