| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | I have some plans how we could find the correct position but honestly maybe WE should just have a list of edge case functions | 18:05:16 |

I wasn't able to. I was unable to repro, but did notice that my configuration appears to have sandbox set to false:
nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m" 0:21:25
- system: `"aarch64-darwin"`
- host os: `Darwin 23.6.0, macOS 14.6.1`
- multi-user?: `yes`
- sandbox: `no`
- version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.24.0pre20240709_142e566a`
- channels(root): `"nixpkgs"`
- nixpkgs: `/Users/ewannisbet/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs`
using nix build --option sandbox true github:nixos/nixpkgs/master#nixpkgs-manual also didn't report errors, but I'm not familiar enough to know if I should expect to be able to enable sandbox like that

 fricklerhandwerk | Hi Nix docs people! I'm slowly revamping our Open Collective page and would like to ask for your input: what should we ask our supporters to help make possible?
A couple of months ago we prepared the Google Season of Docs application which, based on some metrics, proposed to write a Docker and cross compilation tutorial each. There's probably more high-value targets that we could make possible with some funding. Things that are too risky to start if it's not someone's job to finish them. What did you always want to have in terms of documentation but didn't dare asking for? What would help you have a better time contributing to documentation?

We have an "Installing Nixos of RPi 4" that says: "With some modifications this would also work on a RPi 3". It would be nice to learn what these are in detail. Furthermore: This tutorial installs on the SBC as if it were a regular machine. But the RPi is pretty low performance. It would be nice to have a tutorial (and this would also extend to non-SBC machines) to explain how to create and tailor a ready-to-run diskimage on a separate, more powerful machine that you can copy to a SD card and run without additional tweaking on the device. | 07:47:06 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Stefan Schroeder: thanks for the feedback! Creating a fully offline installer image would indeed be worthwhile, I've seen people ask it a lot (example). That would be a nice small recipe, and would mesh nicely with the nixos-anywhere tutorial. | 07:52:46 |

| @viperml:ayats.org | hello, how do I get a link to one of the nix manual sections, that is not bound to an specific nix version? I want to get the latest derivations page, not specific to 2.18 https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.18/language/derivations | 09:39:17 |
 toonn | Fernando: I think you can substitute `stable` for the version number. | 10:01:45 |
| @viperml:ayats.org | perfect, thank you | 11:36:24 |
| @viperml:ayats.org | perhaps it could be useful to have some little icon at the bottom of the page or something, that copies that 😄 | 11:36:52 |
