 delroth | for anyone (presumably in europe) planning to attend lixcon and still stuck not having a train ticket because SNCF is dumb and doesn't understand the concept of people planning trips more than 3 months ahead of time: apparently they'll start selling tickets for around lixcon dates on Jan 28th | 08:10:04 |
| delroth | (or so they say, I'm not sure if they're to be believed) | 08:10:23 |
 kfiz | Is this currently (going to be) supported in lix? https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.22/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-shell#use-as-a--interpreter | 08:24:36 |
 0x4fbb09 it/its ⛯✇ΘΔ | works for me, i use that | 11:07:09 |
 toonn | delroth: Belgian rail system doesn't depend on reservations like many others. | 11:12:11 |
| toonn | delroth: It's a show up, pay and get on kinda deal. | 11:12:27 |
| toonn | Frequency between the airport and the central stations in Brussels is pretty high as well, so you shouldn't worry too much. | 11:21:29 |
| toonn | Also, I'd even recommend against getting tickets ahead of time because strikes are not unheard of. | 11:21:59 |
| delroth | ok, but lixcon isn't in brussels, making this a bit beside the point :) | 11:31:57 |
| toonn | Oh, sorry, I saw SNCF and assumed FOSDEM >.< | 11:32:30 |
| delroth | given that FOSDEM is literally next weekend I sure hope train tickets are already available | 11:32:59 |
| toonn | The advice would still apply. Don't get them in advance. | 11:34:15 |

Is this currently (going to be) supported in lix? https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.22/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-shell#use-as-a--interpreter That might have been backported by me a year back, but I'm not fully sure. If it wasn't, it was because maintaining that functionality would be hard | 11:34:25 |
| KFears (they/them) | In any case, I would advice to test if it works | 11:35:07 |
 jappie | belgian rail is going on a strike this week (25th - 30th, including both of these days), though usually they're pretty good at only listing trains that actual run in the route planner (website / app)
https://www.belgiantrain.be/en/travel-info/train-network-travel-info/strike | 11:35:20 |
| delroth | this is getting very off-topic but this is wrong advice for basically anyone who doesn't already live in belgium - ICEs have early bird pricing, eurostar/thalys does too, etc. | 11:35:48 |
| delroth | * this is getting very off-topic but this is wrong advice for basically anyone who isn't already in belgium - ICEs have early bird pricing, eurostar/thalys does too, etc. | 11:36:10 |
| delroth | (ECD from NL might too? not sure) | 11:37:12 |
| delroth | I'm happy I'm not going to FOSDEM this year :p | 11:37:54 |
| delroth | though that probably wouldn't impact the routes I'd take (through Köln or through Paris) | 11:38:11 |
 QuadRadical (Ping) | Even the Eurostar is somewhat affected, some trains have been cancelled or delayed | 11:40:20 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | So it might also affect going through Paris etc | 11:40:28 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | * Even the Eurostar from London is somewhat affected, some trains have been cancelled or delayed | 11:40:36 |
| delroth | oof | 11:57:50 |
 Arian | Meh Belgian rail system on strike is probably still more organized than German rail system on a normal day | 12:18:30 |
 neobrain | Given a flake with multiple checks, how does one actually run one specific check? nix flake check seems to unconditionally run them all | 13:05:56 |
 Psentee | I think you can address them like packages or other outputs, nix flake check '.#check_name', but it's been a while since I used flakes so I might be wrong | 13:07:03 |
| neobrain | nope, error: unexpected fragment 'nixosSystemAcceptsLib' in flake reference '.#nixosSystemAcceptsLib' | 13:07:40 |
 Unhooked Spirits | I think it's "nix build .#system.checks.name" | 13:08:00 |
| Unhooked Spirits | But you have to know the system | 13:08:07 |
