 emily | seems totally fine. ModemManager should be free since it's already a NM dep | 16:03:00 |
| hexa | have an option to put a thing in a list | 16:03:02 |
| emily | time to install over 5G | 16:03:05 |
| hexa | arch makes modemmanager an optional dep | 16:03:15 |
| hexa | I think we should too, but it probably doesn't make too big a dent either way | 16:03:35 |
| emily | not sure it's worth since it's so small | 16:03:40 |
| emily | why distinguish WiFi and WWAN unless the latter actually pulls in something big? | 16:03:48 |
| hexa | everyone and their dog has WLAN | 16:04:03 |
| hexa | cellular networking usually comes with traffic caps | 16:04:17 |
| hexa | * everyone and their dog has WLAN and it is mostly free | 16:04:28 |
| emily | eh | 16:05:00 |
| emily | you can get unlimited 5G here for cheaper than Americans pay for data capped fibre | 16:05:08 |

| hexa | t-mobile in DE | 16:05:39 |
| emily | wow | 16:05:59 |
| emily | we can include ModemManager outside of Germany then | 16:06:13 |
| hexa | I have 10 GB on 5G for 10 EUR/mo fwiw | 16:06:17 |
| emily | unlimited 5G is available for <€18/month here | 16:06:54 |
| emily | "hundreds of gigs" level is quite a bit cheaper still | 16:07:21 |
| hexa | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/421042 | 16:27:22 |
| hexa | in the long run we should probably look at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/350199, but the patch size is too large for me to just merge | 16:39:34 |

| emily | feels pointless for most of those | 16:47:01 |
| emily | like, NM without iptables or dhcpcd is not a use case | 16:47:12 |
| emily | openconnect and dnsmasq, yes | 16:47:20 |
| hexa | iptables can absolutely go away 😄 | 16:47:34 |
 Marie | nftables by default when | 16:47:51 |
| hexa | we're using nft these days | 16:47:51 |
