 samasaur | huh okay apparently if you force-push to a closed PR on github you can no longer reopen it | 07:07:41 |
 prince213 | Time to start a new one I guess | 07:08:10 |
| samasaur | i guess so | 07:08:15 |
| samasaur | wait a second, maybe if i force-push back to what it was i can reopen it and then force-push again | 07:08:29 |
| prince213 | Ah try it | 07:08:39 |
| prince213 | Maybe you can only reopen if its HEAD is at the original place | 07:08:57 |
| samasaur | yeah that's my theory | 07:09:10 |
| samasaur | we'll see | 07:09:11 |
| samasaur | you can! | 07:10:37 |
| samasaur | wild | 07:10:43 |
| prince213 | Nice to know | 07:10:54 |
| prince213 | Technically it's "to fix Hydra builds" so it should go to staging-next | 07:13:16 |
| prince213 | But I'm not sure | 07:13:18 |
| samasaur | i can retarget | 07:13:35 |
| samasaur | okay done | 07:18:21 |
| samasaur | k i'm going to sleep. if the decision is that we should merge this into staging-next as a stopgap, i think that PR is good to go. if the decision is to target master, I can retarget again in the morning. if the decision is to wait for a staging cycle, then we have nothing left to do :) | 07:21:06 |
| prince213 | Nice work! See you in another day | 07:26:02 |
 EsperLily [she/her] | emily: i managed to get MacVim to build with the nixpkgs SDK. I didn't even have to do anything to get ibtool to work, i guess Xcode just automatically handled the fact that it wasn't in the SDK. thanks for suggesting this! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/455760 | 09:01:31 |
 niklaskorz | wow I haven't used Macvim in a long time, but back in 2011 (up until 2014) when I really got into programming it was my main editor 😄 | 14:22:47 |
 yaymukund | Random question: Is there a good way to make /nix/store binaries play nice with Little Snitch? | 18:45:10 |
| niklaskorz | That too is an application I haven't used in a decade. Truly nostalgia day for me. | 18:55:53 |
| yaymukund | What do you use, or are you just rawdogging the internet? I’m not attached to it, I just got it so I’d be a little more aware when apps reach out | 19:01:12 |
 Ihar Hrachyshka | recently my builds on one of darwin machines are extremely slow - looks like coreutils like cp (and commands like tar) take enormous time. I tried to time using macos cp and it is near immediate for the same inputs and outputs that I spot in ps ax as taking too long when ran by nixbuild user using nix coreutils. I have this behavior on one of machines but not another. Anyone experienced anything of this sort? | 20:27:18 |

What do you use, or are you just rawdogging the internet? I’m not attached to it, I just got it so I’d be a little more aware when apps reach out I'm only using tracker blocking DNS nowadays | 22:14:48 |
| niklaskorz | So unfortunately I can't answer your original question | 22:15:14 |
 @ieda:matrix.org | Little Snitch, good times. I miss my white MacBook | 23:04:36 |

 Alex Nicolaou | um. sorry to ask what must be a FAQ — can someone point me at the implications of determinate no longer providing an upstream installer? My understanding is that Lix is a fork of Determinate's installer, so neither one will suppport upstream, and the upstream install is recommended by nix-darwin, and these are the only two installers recommended. So it seems like soon there will be no happy path for nix-darwin installs. TIA for pointers. | 22:50:01 |
 emily | there is a fork of the Determinate Systems installer being prepared for use to install upstream Nix | 22:51:12 |
