@tomberek:matrix.orgtomberek @shine:proqqul.net: the "works with GC off, but not on" was a common problem when trying to refactor the string representation. 23:14:25
@shine:proqqul.netTaeer Bar-YamI think boehm is stupid enough that it frees memory while you're holding a pointer to somewhere in the allocation that's not the start. I posted a patch that fixes the bug for me23:33:51

@cafkafk:gitter.imcafkafk changed their profile picture.08:22:52
@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧You need to serve the DOI references. I just used hydra for that which in combination with harmonia which is quite hacky but kinda works usually13:01:49
@ivy:faggot.shivyso you host ur own hydra or use nixos hydra?13:04:27
@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧I have my own, yes13:18:12

@ivy:faggot.shivyto build on13:20:03
@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧https://github.com/Mic92/niks3 has also support for dois according to the readme15:01:04
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92it does15:02:42
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92The old format, not the new one that John has brought up in a PR.15:03:01

@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfault I feel like we should be doing a better job at having rl-next notes for PRs we land 17:34:01
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultit's good for visibility of all the work happening on a release17:34:11
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultFor example, John's documentation work and Farid's kaitai spec both deserved release notes IMO17:36:48
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultBut did not get it17:36:51
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultI'll do a pass of the changes since 2.32 and try to remedy this, but maybe we ought to have some kind of CI check for this17:37:32
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultOne of those where you can post a comment to disable the behavior whenever work actually doesn't need rl-notes17:37:55
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)got annoyed with "darwin" linux-builder today; opened https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/1447521:29:50
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)I don't know if anyone feels very attached to direct file system access, but it seems like a bad default choice, and not something that's even used very often (?)21:30:29
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)anyway, making such a change early on in the 26.05 cycle seems like a good idea if you want to21:31:04
