 raboof | Yes, they should, but the problem is not in their installer, it's in the released nix versions | 07:04:10 |
| raboof | * Yes, they should (and do), but the problem is not in their installer, it's in the released nix versions | 07:04:24 |
| raboof | 'luckily' (i.e. thanks to the reporters) that version hasn't hit nixpkgs yet, and I'm not aware of other distribution mechanisms that'd have it, but there might be | 07:06:00 |
 mica | The link to puckipedia above 404s since I guess matrix is bad at parsing URLs | 07:07:17 |
| raboof | oh, it works in my client (element-desktop) 😆 | 07:09:57 |
| raboof | * we should probably post something about the Nix vulnerability, right? something like
"There's a vulnerability in Nix 2.24.
If you're using nix from nixpkgs (which the vast majority of users will be), you're still on a safe version. If you recently (after August 1st) installed nix using the Determinate Systems installer then you need to double-check. A fix is expected in version 2.24.6 which is to be released soon.

If you're using the regular nix from nixpkgs (which the vast majority of users will be), you're still on a safe version. If you recently (after August 1st) installed nix using the nix (not NixOS) installers, or are using nixVersions.git from nixpkgs, then you need to double-check.

| raboof | thanks for the feedback (here and in DMs), posted now. | 07:29:53 |
|  matthewcroughan (DECT: 56490) changed their display name from matthewcroughan - going to nix.camp to matthewcroughan. | 15:34:17 |
| raboof | do we have any place to share visuals to go with posts? maybe https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/pull/135 would be a suitable place? | 17:26:49 |

 fricklerhandwerk | Here's a EU survey about the planned cut of NGI funding for next year, where EU citizens and organisations can respond: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13880-Digital-Europe-programme-interim-evaluation/public-consultation_en
It's still open until 2024-09-20. Would be great if we could notify our audience about it, since the NGI grants are a major resource for the Nix ecosystem.
This relates to the open letter the NGI0 consortium has published in July: https://nixos.org/blog/announcements/2024/letter/ | 16:01:38 |
 Alyssa Ross | According to NLnet this is not about NGI funding: https://social.nlnet.nl/@nlnet/statuses/01J7GR5TNX28F9VRXTMZSKQHEH | 16:13:46 |

 lassulus | raboof thilobillerbeck (avocadoom) : it would be nice of one of you could merge the election announcement: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1546 | 17:48:31 |
 thilobillerbeck (avocadoom) | done | 18:39:10 |
 infinisil | raboof: Can you queue social media posts? Perhaps
As a first step towards a better governance for official Nix projects, we are happy to announce the kick-off of the first Nix Steering Committee election! https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-steering-committee-election-2024/52232

| raboof | https://chaos.social/@nixos_org/113151600483470714 - people are reading things into the hand signs it seems - I propose I'll remove the 'ok' hand sign if I ever do another elections post but leave this one like this | 08:31:22 |

 aleksana (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | Just asking, what's the process of requesting the official fediverse account to forward some posts? | 06:52:44 |
| raboof | post in https://discourse.nixos.org/c/announcements/8 . Then ideally someone on the social media posting rotation should pick those up and schedule posts for them, though that seems to have stalled lately. I've scheduled some posts recently, but I'm not even formally on the team, so no promises :) - but you could link them here. (I had it in the back of my mind to post about the EU survey but I see that deadline has expired now, sorry, so much to do so little time) | 07:16:00 |
