@winter:catgirl.cloudWinter why does setting preferLocalBuild on a drv change its store path? i know it's because it leaks into env, but... why? 02:20:38

@kranzes:matrix.orgIlan Joselevich (Kranzes)Are you asking why it leaks into env then?07:35:27
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_ i don't know. but isn't select broken for having more than 1024 fds? i think also if you poll for readable events as eelco did in 2023ish, it probably does avoid the kernel shenanigans, but by the time i wrote the platform specific implementation i wanted off of macOS poll's wild ride 20:00:58
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_ there is also an undocumented kqueue API (used by netty) that only works for sockets and gives us exactly what we want, but it doesn't work on pipes, which we use for nix-daemon --stdio 20:01:52
