In reply to @fricklerhandwerk:matrix.org Here's another video: https://youtu.be/82UxXZv6Vhk I haven't recorded a new one yet, but I'll incorporate any feedback for the next thing I do | 13:41:13 | |

| fricklerhandwerk: great video. 🚀 I find it always impressing how you find and fix these little odd things. | 15:31:01 | |
| Who got commit rights and would like to review a 2k lines changed pr? 😬 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/323843/files | 15:36:41 | |
| Should i split it? | 15:38:11 | |

| I don't have commit rights but taking a look. I'm seeing some things that I can't find in RFC 145. Was the format updated in a another RFC? | 16:12:00 | |
| I can take a look this week, and merge some little fixups on the way | 16:15:49 | |
| Overall it's not that bad, looks pretty mechanical | 16:16:02 | |
| * Overall it's not that bad in terms of size, looks pretty mechanical. | 16:16:12 | |
| djacu: no the RFC is not strict in those terms. danielsidhion and me worked on what is more like conventions. There are other files in lib that use commonmark already in comments for reference | 16:29:54 | |
In reply to @fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgYeah just spent some hours sundays to go through all of those little things | 16:31:17 | |
In reply to @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host Ah okay. I saw things like this and wasn't sure.
I do like it though! | 17:28:37 | |

| Hey. I'm a new NixOS user, already trying to heavily use the documentation. :) Someone pointed out to me that there's two wikis, with a difference. I've been looking at the NixOS manual, but had missed at least this. Now I'm looking for glossaries. Is this the best we have? https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.23/glossary.html#gloss-store-derivation I could perhaps contribute (as in I can make a PR) by... Hm. My initial idea would be to at least
Also I feel it's missing quite a few pieces of terminology that I've run into a lot the past few days. I think at least module, option, store, package, flake, home manager. Then I don't know what of those are Nix and what are NixOS. Is there a hard split between "Nix documentation" and "NixOS documentation"? (Though if we expect a newcomer to know which manual to look in, maybe that's a problem in itself?) | 23:11:29 | |

| When trying to get stuff to work, I've ran a lot into something like "here's a flake you can use" or "if you use home manager, you can do this". I have been able to figure out that I don't use home manager, and perhaps should wait until I'm a bit more comfortable with Nix. The flake thing is a bit more obscure to me. It seems to be either an extension of the nix command, external repositories for Nix packages (derivations?), or some overarching system to enable all of the above that goes above configuration.nix. :D (Not looking for an explanation of what it is here, but trying to convey the confusion!) | 23:21:20 | |
