 Taeer Bar-Yam | I 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 me | 23:33:51 |

| ivy | how on earth do i get binary cached stuff with ca-references and will a nix-serve be able to cache that? | 05:28:20 |
| ivy | Sandro 🐧: i see you a lot messing with ca what is your progress? | 05:49:23 |

 Sandro 🐧 | 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 usually | 13:01:49 |
| ivy | so you host ur own hydra or use nixos hydra? | 13:04:27 |
| Sandro 🐧 | I have my own, yes | 13:18:12 |
| ivy | ah that’s not gonna work for me unless i spend 1k on a new mac | 13:19:40 |
| ivy | to build on | 13:20:03 |
| Sandro 🐧 | https://github.com/Mic92/niks3 has also support for dois according to the readme | 15:01:04 |
 Mic92 | it does | 15:02:42 |
| Mic92 | The old format, not the new one that John has brought up in a PR. | 15:03:01 |
| Mic92 | But I can switch to th new one as well | 15:03:07 |
| Mic92 | Gotta make a release of niks3 runs now for 3 weeks without issues. | 15:03:30 |

 lovesegfault | I feel like we should be doing a better job at having rl-next notes for PRs we land | 17:34:01 |
| lovesegfault | it's good for visibility of all the work happening on a release | 17:34:11 |
| lovesegfault | For example, John's documentation work and Farid's kaitai spec both deserved release notes IMO | 17:36:48 |
| lovesegfault | But did not get it | 17:36:51 |
| lovesegfault | I'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 this | 17:37:32 |
| lovesegfault | One of those where you can post a comment to disable the behavior whenever work actually doesn't need rl-notes | 17:37:55 |
 Robert Hensing (roberth) | got annoyed with "darwin" linux-builder today; opened https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14475 | 21:29:50 |
| Robert 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 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | anyway, making such a change early on in the 26.05 cycle seems like a good idea if you want to | 21:31:04 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | I don't think it improves linux-builder anytime soon, but it seems like a nice cleanup to me | 21:31:30 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | John Ericson: any reason not to merge https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14469#pullrequestreview-3417559764? | 21:37:20 |

| lovesegfault | Robert Hensing (roberth): I was thinking about the ulimit stuff. What if we added a test envvar that makes nix hard-error when it fails to set ulimit, and then used that for the tests that currently fail without it to be skipped? | 01:44:23 |
