 hexa | persistent tmp? 😲 | 01:36:15 |
| c4lliope | uh no...
there are 1664 tmp folders and the oldest is 2025-07-20
I prefix nearly all my commands with nd, nix develop | 01:40:16 |
| hexa | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5207 | 01:41:13 |
| hexa | lix has this fixed | 01:41:23 |
| hexa | apparently nix 2.30.0 tries to keep deleting | 01:42:20 |
| c4lliope | dude you're a real paladin here, I feel like a wolf-child stumbling into civilization. | 01:42:22 |
| c4lliope | boot.tmp.cleanOnBoot = true; - see ya on the other side. | 01:46:09 |
| c4lliope | sure, the tmp files are cleaned up, no real difference.
I did find a reference in a random gcroot to libreoffice -
of the hundreds of gcroots here, how do I responsibly erase a bunch? | 01:52:18 |
| c4lliope | seems like I can make do based on: https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/11-garbage-collector.html | 01:54:32 |

| jean-paul. | How do I convince nix to use a GitHub token for downloading stuff from GitHub? I keep getting rate limited on CI. I already have access-tokens = github.com=... in ~/.config/nix/nix.conf which seems like it should be enough but clearly isn't.
How do I even tell whether it's trying to use a token for authentication or not?
| 19:04:50 |
| jean-paul. | The only thing I can figure out is to put the credentials in /etc/nix/netrc. No variation of access-tokens works as far as I can tell. | 20:01:27 |
 Scrumplex | netrc is going to be your best bet really as its widely supported by a lot of tools, not just curl.
Something along the lines of
machine github.com
login your_username
password ghp_...
machine api.github.com
login your_username
password ghp_...
| 20:42:13 |
| Scrumplex | I am pretty sure access-tokens in nix.conf only affects the builtin fetchers primarly used by the flake subsystem | 20:43:43 |
| jean-paul. | It'd be nice if that were actually documented. The nix.conf docs really make it sound like it's for anything. | 20:59:37 |

| jean-paul. | Cool, 9% of the time:
/etc/nix/netrc" (line 2, column 9):
unexpected 'a'
expecting comment, "machine", "default", "macdef" or end of input
Exited with code exit status 1

| @adam:robins.wtf | i'm not a big nginx user, and think our acme implementation is good enough, but could be interesting to some | 12:52:56 |
 magic_rb | Thats exciting, brings it closer to caddy, caddy is still a bit slower than nginx i think | 13:36:07 |
