 emily | no, we just disagree about what Hydra should build. afaict you're the only person who considers that a reason that web browser engines with critical CVEs shouldn't be marked knownVulnerabilities though. | 14:03:25 |
 Sandro π§ | because I know people who do not have compile server flying around | 20:03:37 |
| Sandro π§ | and for them to use some software that requires hours compiling on their laptop is actually a very big problem | 20:05:56 |
| Sandro π§ | also retroactively bricking peoples setups on stable just because of that with no option out is especially stupid | 20:08:15 |
| Sandro π§ | if a config flip would just download the precompiled software again, that would be fine and actionable but then also having to compile the software is just stupid | 20:08:56 |
| emily | I really don't feel like relitigating this every couple weeks when there's a security issue. | 20:46:54 |

| Sandro π§ | I know that you value security way over usability of people | 20:54:28 |
| Sandro π§ | but it is just a fact that you cannot remove all vulnerable software from your life and still live. | 20:54:41 |
| Sandro π§ | but that has been an issue since I first heard of NixOS and 5 years back we already weighted marking things vulnerable and having them cached π€· | 20:56:28 |

Even if we cannot change the default, I want those options in https://github.com/Shawn8901/nixpkgs/commit/735fd4615f6e6844a25ad14638680024a3ff4be8 | 20:56:48 |

Sure I can do tomorrow, I wasn't sure on the other PR when I asked if it was finally wanted or not. | 23:18:47 |
| shawn8901 | The options sadly can just be tuned by overriding the package. I am using that since some times as I am trying to reduce the perl usage on my systems | 23:21:29 |

 K900 | Can we make that one option? | 17:05:52 |
| K900 | I don't think building all the backends is something that makes sense in most cases | 17:06:02 |
| K900 | Because it's not like you can (reasonably) switch at runtime anyway | 17:06:16 |
 πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | Why Discover doesn't have comments/rating feature on NixOS? | 18:30:48 |
| K900 | I think we don't have appstream metadata? | 18:31:11 |
| πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | but it gets it from flatpak? | 18:31:28 |
| K900 | Actually does it even work with flatpak | 18:31:33 |
| K900 | I'm not sure if it does | 18:31:39 |
| πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | yes | 18:31:44 |
| πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | i use it | 18:31:47 |
| πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | everything works except comments. it tries to load them but then the section disappears. | 18:32:09 |
| shawn8901 | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
Can we make that one option? Hot should it be called? Or no option at all, so that one can just run whatever they want? | 19:06:52 |
