 lillecarl | I found a tool that I decided to try yesterday and regret I didn't try earlier. It's called optnix, it's essentially a terminal version of search.nixos.org for options. | 16:31:54 |
| lillecarl | https://asciinema.org/a/cEbCAqfEwt0pOAPBDBVLLLj5b Here's a quick asciinema so you can check it out without installing, and they publish as a simple flake, just nixpkgs as a dependency which is nice.
It's really useful when you're developing your own modules since it evaluates your own instance of your options rather than a predefined one. So it makes building option hierarchies and actually using them a lot easier, I bet a lot of you use either search.nixos.org or mynixos.org a bit and this is pretty similar :) | 16:38:42 |
| markuskowa | That's cool! What's the URL for the flake? | 16:54:31 |

| Anders | Hi all! Just wondering if there are any companies in Stockholm using the Nix ecosystem? (Would be interested in working at such a company!) | 14:58:58 |

| lillecarl | I learned how to do a really cursed thing today: edit /nix/store paths
sudo unshare --mount bash -c 'mount -your /nix to /nix'
My goal wasn't to edit storepaths but to hardlink to the store, which requires being on the same mount point (which /nix/store isn't because it's RO bind-mounted over itself)

unshare --mount creates your own mount namespace (ish) where you get a clone of what is already, but you can mount over things without disrupting any other processes.

| markuskowa | I hope everyone had a great summer. Let's start up the new meetup season on Wednesday the 27th at the Nordic light hotel. Give it a thumbs up if you are planning to join. | 20:13:26 |
