I'm currently skimming it - https://github.com/andir/npins/pull/145/files Same, seems to call out to nix-prefetch-docker | 13:57:49 |

| tc424 (Steve D) | yeah, which is something else I didn't know existed :) | 13:59:29 |
| tc424 (Steve D) | and that uses skopeo | 13:59:42 |
| jakehamilton | In reply to @srtcd424:auxolotl.org
and that uses skopeo Was just about to say the same. I think it should just work for any artifact then? | 14:00:02 |
| tc424 (Steve D) | Not sure, but even if it doesn't, it feels like it shouldn't be too complex to add | 14:00:47 |
| tc424 (Steve D) | Anyway, I've been using an ancient static binary of docker-lock, will be nice to be able to use something more modern :) | 14:02:00 |
 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Nix is nice since I can just quickly spin up a production ready dev environment on my grandparents desktop because I forgot my laptop | 14:10:46 |

 jlc | Heya- For mounting SMB shares using cifs, is the "nofail" option relevant like when declaring mounts for physical drives? | 16:25:49 |
| jlc | (looks like the answer is yes - editing the wiki to say as much rn) | 17:06:29 |
 whispers [& it/fae] | i feel like this is a reasonable question that we should know the answer to, but i don't, so: if you hand it a big bold graph, how does lix/nix choose what to build first? it doesn't seem to start from the most depended-on derivations or any other metric which i would expect. | 22:55:48 |

 emily | I don't think it tries to do anything smart at all | 00:06:03 |
| emily | just picks stuff it can build and builds it until it's out of slots | 00:06:22 |
| emily | certainly Hydra isn't smart about it at all | 00:06:44 |
| emily | in practice things are usually either sufficiently wide fan-out that it doesn't really matter what you pick, or bottlenecked on few enough things that it doesn't really matter what you pick, so it's not a huge deal unless you have few build slots | 00:07:41 |
