@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeYes. That’s why we some stuff with stubs in Nixpkgs.20:26:05
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetThey claim to be using FSKit20:26:10
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode * 20:26:17
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIt’s possible they changed the implementation in a recent release.20:26:42
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIt would still be nice to have a copyleft implementation if only so we can distribute it.20:27:02
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurhttps://github.com/macfuse/macfuse/wiki/FUSE-Backends20:27:48
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurlooks like they still default to a kernel extension and FSKit has a number of limitations20:28:14
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHet

Using mount points outside of /Volumes is not supported by FSKit.
This contradicts the Apple example, no?

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Were some of those relaxes in macOS 26? The example mounts outside of /Volumes. 20:29:02

@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHet

mount -t passthrough ~/Documents ~/passthrough-fs tells the extension to present the contents of your Documents directory as another file system, mounted at passthrough-fs

@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurthe macFUSE page could be wrong, that's just the latest information I see from them20:29:31
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetHow would nix even benefit from a fuse library for macOS?20:31:16
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetMounted wherever20:31:37
@weethet:catgirl.cloudWeetHetCan't really use it for sandboxing20:31:58

@wymiller:chat.wyattjmiller.comwymiller joined the room.03:06:12
@rebmit:rebmit.moerebmit[reb] maybe we could replace https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/commit/1f9cca7781b18a073c45823a24e9bd74eb83d3fe with a bind mount? 06:49:31
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Can't create bind mounts on macOS. 08:35:19
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThat FSKit sample seemingly can do it, but I doubt that will help with the spotlight situation.11:32:53
@tiferrei:tiferrei.comtiferrei joined the room.11:45:49
@logn:zirco.devLogN set a profile picture.14:55:55
@thytom:matrix.orgthytom changed their display name from thytom to Thytom.15:36:05
@thytom:matrix.orgthytom changed their display name from Thytom to thytom.15:36:09
@xored:xored.lolxoredhi guys, offtopic but thought I should ask, do you know of any macOS-savvy networking/homelab communities in matrix?21:31:03
@isabel:isabelroses.comisabel changed their profile picture.21:51:34
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Oh, interesting. Anyone looking into how it interacts with Spotlight, does it inherit the nobrowse and such from the volume being passed through? 22:06:17

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeAnyone tried switching the default LLVM to LLVM 22 to see what breaks on Darwin?02:11:56
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpe what is needed?
I tried doing llvmPackages = llvmPackages_22; and it broke eval
03:11:24
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpe error: assertion '(allDeps isBuiltByBootstrapFilesCompiler [ ((stage1Packages prevStage)) ((darwinPackages prevStage)) ((llvmLibrariesDeps prevStage)) ((llvmToolsDeps prevStage)) ((sdkPackages prevStage)) ((sdkDarwinPackages prevStage)) ])' failed 03:11:34
