 andi- | They could either rate limit on per /64 or per unique address on the side of GitHub. Worst case they use a /56 or even a /48 as prefix for common rate limit but best case they'd limit it on a L2 segment and thus allowing multiple customers on e.g. CGNAT do not interfere with each others ratelimits.
In german cable networks CGNAT is very dominant and often you run into ratelimits with GitHub as the outbound IPv4 NAT address might be used by many users within the same area. | 13:20:02 |
 nixinator | that's what i was thinking internally... like 'it can't be a nat state problem'...it is...for my life! | 13:20:43 |
| andi- | Anyway that is rather off-topic for this channel (perhaps a good background information on why ratelimits are an issue). | 13:21:08 |
| nixinator | yeah..i agree!! but damm interesting. | 13:21:26 |
| andi- | Am I missing something or is the nix daemon leaking Loggers after a connection terminates / a new one is established?

| andi- | (Probably not very dangerous/important as that happens in a forked client anyway) | 17:40:48 |

 pamplemousse | Is there a way to use an alternative store with nix?
I am trying out --store /something --option build-use-substitutes false (option to not pull down from cache.nixos.org), but I am still having build failures.
In particular:
error: builder for '/nix/store/myfzvw3m2fzg7r3xkzr15c0flbc9mxiq-bash-4.4.tar.gz.drv' failed to produce output path for output 'out' at '/out/nix/store/rv68r40mwx7xa7vrlmanczkkjcnkc452-bash-4.4.tar.gz'
seems strange to me, why is the .drv in /nix/store?

 fzakaria | Why has Nix chosen so much base32 ? | 21:17:37 |
| nixinator | In reply to @fzakaria:matrix.org
Why has Nix chosen so much base32 ? it's that way, because of the limit of posix filepaths... and there's some char's missing, so you can't get stuff like f**ksadirjijeifjifiejwjwfj type hashes! ;-) | 21:20:39 |
| nixinator | believe it or not. | 21:20:46 |
| fzakaria | ah | 21:21:17 |
| fzakaria | I wish sha256sum had a base32 option | 22:00:52 |
| andi- | It is not the base32 you might be thinking of. Nix has a custom alphabet. | 22:08:11 |

 Alyssa Ross | fzakaria: do you know about nix-hash(1)? | 06:49:11 |
| Alyssa Ross | has anybody encountered an issue where Nix creates empty .drv files for some expressions, and then fails with e.g. error: error parsing derivation '/nix/store/mgbw0dg9ihd3cg8wksdm0d2vi207pnfa-ruby2.7.4-docurium-0.6.0.drv': expected string 'Derive(['? | 06:50:39 |

| Alyssa Ross | corrupted how? | 07:49:58 |
| Las | It happens when my system crashes | 07:49:59 |
| Las | And I'm in the process of building | 07:50:04 |
| Alyssa Ross | of building, not instantiating? | 07:50:36 |
| Las | Well yeah, technically when I'm instantiating | 07:50:50 |
