 LilleCarl (Salsa9) | 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 (Salsa9) | 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 |
| LilleCarl (Salsa9) | https://github.com/water-sucks/optnix Haha sry i forgot to link the most essential thing! 😄 | 19:14:28 |

| LilleCarl (Salsa9) | Damn, I forgot to ask to take a picture w/ everyone. Thanks for a great evening everyone! 😁 | 23:37:57 |

 Claes | Yes great to meet everyone! Attendance was above all expectations! | 07:02:00 |
| markuskowa | Thanks to everyone! Yesterday was absolutely great. | 09:27:57 |
|  igorramazanov joined the room. | 10:09:05 |
| igorramazanov set a profile picture. | 10:10:05 |
| igorramazanov | Yeah :) (hi all 👋) | 10:12:40 |

I know I mentioned linking things from $FLAKE repo into $HOME which I'm quite happy with. This is the implementation I'm using. It'll replicate a tree subdir into $HOME for you, nothing using home.file.x.recursive so you won't get collisions with folders and stuff 😄

| Claes | I didn't know you could do that! | 22:36:07 |

| igorramazanov | Would be nice to have an additional option: "does not really matter" and also allow multichoice | 19:51:29 |

Would be nice to have an additional option: "does not really matter" and also allow multichoice Will do it in the next iteration. I'm still exploring the options that matrix provides. | 17:48:01 |
| 12 Feb 2024 |
| markuskowa | It looks like there is a slight preference for Wednesday. Should we go with Wednesday the 21st? | 09:58:19 |
| 13 Feb 2024 |
| markuskowa | Ok, let's have the next meetup, on Wednesday 21.02. Same place, same time (19:00 at the Nordic light hotel). | 21:02:15 |
| 21 Feb 2024 |
| markuskowa | See you tonight. | 09:47:33 |
| Claes | Hi, I told some of you about my home audio setup. I created a gist with most of it here

ah this was what you were talking about yesterday! i'm gonna try to roll with some variant of this for a while. long time ago any of my systems were impure hehe | 19:05:22 |
| kraem | LilleCarl (Salsa9): also did you mean https://github.com/PRQL/prql ? in that case we thought about the same project | 19:06:26 |

ah this was what you were talking about yesterday! i'm gonna try to roll with some variant of this for a while. long time ago any of my systems were impure hehe Yeah there's the fileset lib I didn't even know about until i saw "umport" that recursively imports modules 😄 So it can be "nicer" | 19:07:49 |

LilleCarl (Salsa9): also did you mean https://github.com/PRQL/prql ? in that case we thought about the same project Yeap, along with for running prql within pg https://github.com/kaspermarstal/plprql | 19:09:19 |
| LilleCarl (Salsa9) | It's early work, but it's nice to see either way. SQL has had it's best days | 19:10:06 |
| kraem | yeah i saw that, nice! last time i checked prql i think they were still talking about implementing the postgres layer | 19:10:12 |
| kraem | this (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon) is pretty interesting as well, although not the same thing at all. it basically swaps out the storage layer of postgres, making it distributed and the backing storage is s3 :) | 19:24:28 |
