| interesting ...

| in the derivation, it shows ...
Is this what it's complaining about? | 14:41:49 | |
| I have a question about macOS. I have a 2K external monitor and an HDMI 2.0 cable. The monitor supports 3840x2160 (the resolution used for 1080p HiDPI). In the macOS display settings, I can set the resolution to 3840x2160@60Hz. However, for the 1080p HiDPI scaled resolution, the highest refresh rate I can select is only 30Hz. Why is this happening? | 16:37:48 | |

| is anyone here able to trigger hydra rebuilds? I haven't been able to apply my config for a couple of days because of nodejs-slim-22.22.1. looks like the builder just ran out of disk space https://hydra.nixos.org/build/323732403#tabs-summary | 20:12:52 | |

| When using Nix Darwin a symlinked "Home Manager Apps” folder appears in the ~/Applications directory, however after installing Graphical Apps using home.packages = with pkgs; [ raycast ]; the Folder remains empty. What am I missing? | 11:48:45 | |
installing system wide works, /Applications/Nix\ Apps is populated | 11:50:18 | |

the Home Manager Apps just links to somewhere in the /nix/store | 11:53:37 | |

| Does Home Manager need updating? I thought it was copying now too. | 00:47:41 | |

In reply to @reckenrode:matrix.orgseems like home-manager stateVersion needs to be updated to use copying | 07:18:44 | |
| iirc there is an option you can set to enable coping without bumping stateVersion | 07:19:12 | |
targets.darwin.copyApps.enable | 07:22:35 | |
though last i heard there were some issues with the app management permissions check, so you may also want to set targets.darwin.copyApps.enableChecks = false | 07:23:31 | |
| Honestly home manager has so little breaking changes that reading through them and bumping stateVersion is reasonable | 08:40:29 | |
| Much easier than on NixOS | 08:40:36 | |

hey all, i'm just starting out with nix! i'm on macos and i'm trying things out to see if a declarative config works for me. i've followed the flakes method to get started from https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin and used https://github.com/ryan4yin/nix-darwin-kickstarter/tree/main/minimal as inspiration on how to structure things in my config. the initial sudo nix run nix-darwin/master#darwin-rebuild -- switch worked but i have no idea where the binaries that are in my config went to. e.g. i added in the fish shell to the nix config but i can't find where the fish shell that got installed is :) | 08:46:28 | |
| should be in /run/current-system/sw/bin/fish or in your PATH if you open a new configured shell | 09:15:46 | |
| FWIW I still need to clean up my local x86 drop stack but I think the code burden of supporting it just enough to build Wine while this gets fixed would be very low for now. i.e. we could drop it almost everywhere and get most of the maintenance and infra benefit while still letting Wine build | 09:17:53 | |
| I wonder if we could just do Wine as "cross" to x86 for now honestly | 09:18:38 | |
| without even involving a full stdenv | 09:18:54 | |
be sure to also set programs.fish.enable = true; :) | 09:19:00 | |
