 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 |
|  Rev. CornWallace III (novus ordo seclorum) changed their display name from cw (? days since last shower) to cw (not sticky anymore). | 17:56:34 |
 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 |
| Alyssa Ross | it's strange because it's reproducible | 07:51:20 |
