 K900 | lanzaboote should be an overlay no? | 16:56:51 |

I have to ask, from where are the whole stateful, bytecode, parserstate and thunk things from? I want to make sense of how they'd be used That's locally defined in the same file, ignore the bytecode scaffolding that's for later | 17:05:35 |
 daslixou | no like, from what other parser is it? | 17:05:57 |
| daslixou | the bytecode thing looks similar to rustpython, but then it's pretty different afterall and I haven't seen such direct mapping from parser to bytecode elsewhere | 17:08:51 |
 madmccrow | Yeah. It is, but for flakes you have to have it in input and use the follows notation. | 17:35:49 |
| K900 | You don't necessarily | 17:36:56 |
| K900 | The nixpkgs flake input should not be used if you're using the NixOS module | 17:37:05 |
| madmccrow | See, to me, it looks like the famous xkcd comic about too many standards. I feel like every nix project uses a slightly different approach, making my OCPD twitch looking at imperfect code. | 17:45:27 |
| K900 | Overlays are generally the Right Way | 17:50:01 |
| K900 | Specifically for this very reason | 17:50:05 |

the bytecode thing looks similar to rustpython, but then it's pretty different afterall and I haven't seen such direct mapping from parser to bytecode elsewhere It's from nowhere because that's my own code. Probably nobody sane would attempt single-pass compailation directly in the parser | 18:02:44 |
| piegames | (The insanity is partially courtesy of horrors) | 18:05:06 |
| madmccrow | Exactly my thoughts. I kinda regret the old /nix/etc way of having a config there, and downloading and building only what's necessary.
I feel like Flakes are very interesting for developing projects and reusable libraries, but they feel way too limiting for managing machines ( secrets, impurities, etc., are still an unsolved issue in my - probably uneducated - opinion)
| 18:10:45 |
| K900 | Secrets are mostly solved with agenix/sops-nix tbh | 18:12:16 |
