 raitobezarius | But NixOS is better on that goal because we have a binary cache for i686 | 18:01:00 |
 @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | I 💯 agree on that point | 18:01:17 |
| raitobezarius | Making it much realistic to use your 32 bits computer, sometimes, even a browser!! | 18:01:25 |
 asymmetric | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
This type of niche community OK, but then if it's so niche, does it really warrant being on this super short list? | 18:01:53 |
| raitobezarius | Either case, I find the goal cool and noble, but it's complicated to deal with | 18:02:04 |
| asymmetric | I started with a much more comprehensive PR, but gave up because of lack of time to figure out each individual platform | 18:02:23 |

OK, but then if it's so niche, does it really warrant being on this super short list? Yes, it's a vocal community and I don't think we are out of space to mention it in one line and I believe i686 is considered as something we ought to support, I want to correct the expectations | 18:02:44 |
| raitobezarius | Your call in all cases I made my point :P | 18:03:29 |
| asymmetric | OK.. for my curiosity, where can i learn more about this community? Is it the people working on uxntal, collapse os, and things like that? | 18:03:39 |
| raitobezarius | I think it's much more spread than that, I am not in those circles to be honest and don't want to mischaracterize, I met some of them on Mastodon complaining about NixOS and 32 bits support | 18:04:30 |
| asymmetric | OK, I think I'm happy to add a mention to i686 also as a signifier of a broader move away from 32bits arches.. is that correct? | 18:06:00 |
| raitobezarius | Sometimes it's really just random end users with their own way of seeing things | 18:06:02 |

OK, I think I'm happy to add a mention to i686 also as a signifier of a broader move away from 32bits arches.. is that correct? Strict people would say this may be invalid to talk about tier5/6/7 platforms of Nixpkgs like mips32 :p | 18:06:58 |
| raitobezarius | I'd really just say 32 bits x86 | 18:07:08 |

Sometimes it's really just random end users with their own way of seeing things Also I wonder if undeveloped countries have "average" access to 64 bits machine | 18:07:38 |
| raitobezarius | But well, we kind of already suck for those countries because of how Nix works | 18:07:56 |
 infinisil | I will skip at least tomorrows docs team meetings (but maybe also some following ones) in order to focus on implementing RFC 140. | 21:57:07 |

 @brian:bmcgee.ie | I have to miss today's meeting aswell, gotta pay the bills | 08:07:26 |
 @mightyiam:matrix.org | Sorry for not being there this time. | 14:06:24 |
| raitobezarius | ryantm: I just realized that https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs was quite high in search results on Google but outdated | 22:34:17 |
| raitobezarius | Could we do something about this? | 22:34:21 |
| raitobezarius | e.g. a robots.txt to reduce its position wrt to SEO | 22:34:30 |
| raitobezarius | (we have users citing it in nixpkgs PRs) | 22:35:11 |
 proofconstruction | That makes sense - it's the nixpkgs manual I use when I go looking for something. The mdbook style is so much better than a 50km long page | 22:49:16 |
| raitobezarius | Indeed, the problem is that it's not fresh/outdated | 22:51:36 |
| raitobezarius | I honestly prefer the 50 km long page :P | 22:51:46 |
| raitobezarius | But I think offering both is not bad at all | 22:51:54 |
 ryantm | Many people have told me they like it better than the official manual. I should commit to an update at least every release. | 23:50:07 |
| ryantm | !00% not going to make my SEO worse in some way as long as people are telling me they prefer my manual rendering. | 23:55:40 |
| ryantm | I'll try to update it this weekend! | 23:58:35 |
