 fzakaria | oh cool | 00:53:34 |
| fzakaria | i'm at DEFCON -- i saw you merged; I'll check it out. | 00:53:41 |
| fzakaria | I also just updated https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13550 at DEFCON :P | 00:53:47 |
| fzakaria | Your change heuristic looked cool Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) but I didn't understand the nix_symlinks_targets | 00:56:15 |

Your change heuristic looked cool Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) but I didn't understand the nix_symlinks_targets So the nix-buildand all other nix2 cli are stmlinks to the binary to do the argv dispatch. Those also must be created before the test suite is run. | 01:07:04 |
|  adeci joined the room. | 09:39:29 |

 John Ericson | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/github-integration how do we feel about giving this a spin? | 15:53:10 |
| John Ericson | it might be nice to have some non-nix ways of building nix in there, not as required-pass, if they won't waste too many github action slots | 15:53:40 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Maybe as a post-merge check? | 16:37:08 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | But there's also no vcpkg recipe for nix and I don't think anybody would willingly use vcpkg | 16:38:28 |
 Mic92 | @xokdvium:matrix.org: what do you want to achieve? Is this about caching object files from compilation? | 18:30:27 |

interesting change is making "ref" available to the flake attributes. I only include if impure. Is there a usecase for this outside of fixing the particular bug you want to fix? | 18:40:42 |
| fzakaria | Definitely makes it easier to test. Feels correct though if it's metadata that's given. | 18:41:39 |
| fzakaria | Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): i noticed you DM but Matrix isn't letting me respond to you | 19:01:33 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | I really should just host a homeserver. m.org sucks | 19:02:15 |
| fzakaria | I pay for Element One and it's still garbage | 19:02:41 |
| fzakaria | I'm also at DEFCON and it's a very spotty connection | 19:14:47 |
 magic_rb | Whats it saying? | 19:15:33 |
| fzakaria | just keeps timing out trying to join the channel | 19:16:07 |
| fzakaria | and respond | 19:16:09 |
| magic_rb | Something is stuck in their synapse. Tbh do host your i never have these since i tuned mine | 19:17:20 |
| magic_rb | But anyway, not the right channel | 19:17:36 |
| magic_rb | It will probably unstuck itself. One of the event workers or something may be overloaded a bit | 19:18:00 |

|  jasi 🏳️⚧️ changed their profile picture. | 20:36:00 |
| John Ericson | oh is it not good? | 21:04:32 |
| John Ericson | I was thinking, just whatever is the easiest way to do a fully MSVC no mingw build | 21:04:47 |
| John Ericson | Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13736 step 1 | 21:32:22 |
 Bryan Honof | Hey all, I was wondering if maybe I could help with the dynamic derivations experimental feature. Both in testing it out, and helping it move along. From what I can see it's currently blocked on this issue https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8602, but I might be completely wrong on that one. What else is there to be done in that area? | 21:37:10 |
