 antifuchs | I realize there's mayyyybe a way forward for me though, that I can evaluate with fairly reduced risk; will give that a shot later (: | 14:39:02 |
| antifuchs | * however, I don't think I will be able to get this one system on it because it's gonna be a bunch of work that I can't invest right now and the cost of failure is punishing (and failure will only be apparent at runtime when it's too late) | 14:39:12 |
 emily | it sounds like you need more VM tests | 14:51:49 |
 hexa | you can try to understand why we ship modemmanager | 14:54:47 |
| emily | ok | 14:54:55 |

| emily | the graphical ISO already has NM I presume | 14:55:38 |
| hexa | it has, we're moving it into the base config from there | 14:55:51 |
| emily | yeah | 14:55:56 |
| emily | NM depends on ModemManager directly. I'm not sure we should omit it (because WWAN may be the only available connectivity) unless we can't reduce the closure size sufficiently without | 14:58:39 |
| emily | I'm going to look at the nix-tree | 14:58:43 |
| hexa | we're at +38MB with that diff | 14:59:03 |
| emily | +249 MiB is from the nonsense openconnect VPN thing | 14:59:15 |
| hexa | there's probably not much more that can be saved from that stack | 14:59:20 |
| emily | I guess your diff disables that because of the plugins thing? | 14:59:29 |
| hexa | yeah, hence enableDefaultPlugin = false | 14:59:29 |
| hexa | * yeah, hence enableDefaultPlugins = false | 14:59:32 |
| hexa | yes | 14:59:37 |

| emily | right. that's going to scupper offline installs with minimal ISO | 15:00:12 |
| emily | how about we yeet networkmanager-openconnect from there instead | 15:00:18 |
| hexa | not going to get into that | 15:00:38 |
| emily | would be good to figure out if "default" is a judgement we're making or NM upstream is making | 15:00:38 |
| hexa | if these are default recommendations that's not my place | 15:00:46 |
| hexa | yeah, I hoped this is upstream making it | 15:00:54 |
| emily | I am not sure these are upstream recommendations. I am checking | 15:01:00 |
| hexa | the nm module needs some love as well 😄 | 15:01:18 |
| emily | so | 15:02:48 |
