@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(and then hate nixpkgs)17:35:35
@aloisw:julia0815.dealoisw How on earth does this work in pure mode to begin with? 17:36:55
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusi have no idea :D17:37:22
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusbut this is fucking cursed code that has been accepted in nixpkgs17:37:34
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius i think nixpkgs CI doesn't run in pure mode actually? 17:37:44
@aloisw:julia0815.dealoisw But surely someone runs this with fakes on their system? 17:40:01
@aloisw:julia0815.dealoisw But surely someone runs this with flakes on their system? 17:40:10
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius maybe all drbd users are running without flakes 17:40:23
@aloisw:julia0815.dealoisw …or uses fish, or zsh, and notices not hitting the cache, one would think. 17:41:17
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusnoticing not hitting the cache is definitely an art that is hard to master17:41:59
@aloisw:julia0815.dealoisw (or just break in fish, for that matter, given that they apparently want bash very specifically instead of any POSIX shell, which fish diverges from somewhat) 17:45:33
@just1602:systemli.orgjust1602There's pepole who actually use drbd outside of ganeti users, which are like Tor and Wikimedia? 😅18:31:51
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusdon't joke about this18:32:25
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusDGNum runs a drbd cluster18:32:27
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusdrbd is still a quite nice solution :D :D :D18:32:36
@just1602:systemli.orgjust1602Oh, it's really great, I happen to manage VM on ganeti with some friends and it does aesome thing... but I learned a couple of weeks ago that the version in the kernel is a fork that isn't really maintained and is way way behind upstream.... which scares me a little bit. :(18:33:49
