@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Liif app sandboxing is enabled, any file you drop will be quarantined and trigger gatekeeper if you execute/dlopen03:32:26
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Lidlopen'ing a signed dylib that already exists in the user's downloads folder does work though03:33:27
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li* dlopen'ing a signed, non-quarantined dylib that already exists in the user's downloads folder does work though03:33:37
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Libut this is quickly veering into malware-like territory 🫠03:33:58
@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Lianyways, curious to know if it can pass notarization, and whether still passes if the embedded binary does not meet requirements (unsigned, does not have hardened runtime enabled, etc.)03:54:33
@szlend:matrix.orgszlendI wonder if the build-dir change makes case-sensititive nix store viable on macos10:58:50
@szlend:matrix.orgszlendOne of the issues before the change was that you'd still be building on /tmp (case insensitive) and then move it to /nix/store (which would be case sensitive)11:00:21
@szlend:matrix.orgszlendbut now it's all on the same volume11:00:35
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily the Lix side (who the build-dir change was imported from) have been working towards that, yeah 11:00:57
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythere's some missing pieces still11:01:03
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily e.g. some stuff goes into temp-dir (which Nix doesn't have IIRC) and I think some into $XDG_CACHE_HOME, so the latter would have to move if relevant and the former will need to go under /nix and be cleaned up by the daemon 11:01:42
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily and use-case-hack needs to become per-store rather than global which is a WIP in Lix I believe 11:01:57
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyand then it'll be possible to flip the installer default and do migration tooling11:02:09
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilypeople have run case-sensitive stores for a good while now though11:02:28
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's mostly just worked for me11:02:32
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyjust need to set up the temporary dir and disable the case hack and deal with potentially having to manually clean up sometimes11:03:18
@szlend:matrix.orgszlendfun times ahead11:05:58
@szlend:matrix.orgszlendcan you actually covert to a case sensitive volume without a full copy?11:06:17
@szlend:matrix.orgszlendmigrating this sounds quite awful :D11:06:37
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilynope, it will be a full copy11:07:36
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilypost-GC though11:07:42
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Seems like you could create a new store volume in the same container and cp the old store. 11:07:45
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyas in, no reason not to GC first11:07:48
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyso it might not be "that" bad11:07:56
@szlend:matrix.orgszlendyeah surely can't be that bad for most people11:08:07
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythere's also always just reinstalling… the store is ideally not precious after all11:08:08
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeYou’d need enough space for the copy though.11:08:10
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyyeah, it is precisely copying GC11:08:25
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyyou need enough space to copy the live heap :)11:08:30
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyotherwise, meh, uninstall and reinstall11:08:38
