 antifuchs | did the lix manual drop its favicon? I have a docs generator that was expecting one, but lately there isn't one in the generated output (or rather, there's only the default MDbook one) | 14:12:36 |
| antifuchs | oh wait, that was always the favicon. oops | 14:13:34 |

 raitobezarius | darwin? | 15:42:15 |
| raitobezarius | that looks like nixos actually | 15:42:27 |
| raitobezarius | i didn't see anything like this, could it be a random nixos change that happened at the same time? | 15:43:01 |
| raitobezarius | otherwise, what strace shows on daemon/client/etc. ? | 15:44:07 |

 minman | I have question about overriding nix files. I want to override the sdImage.populateFirmwareCommands from the imported <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-aarch64.nix>. What would be the best way to do this?

For now I have something like this, it builds but the command is not overridden.

sd-image = import <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-aarch64.nix> { inherit pkgs config lib; };

| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Is there a Lix standalone rootless installer (similar for Nixsa for Nix) for Lix? | 09:43:55 |
 K900 | I'm pretty sure a static binary can just work with a chroot store? | 09:47:40 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | I could try | 10:02:55 |
 piegames | https://github.com/andir/npins/blob/master/src/default.nix#L232-L238 do we already have an issue for this somewhere? | 11:23:47 |
| piegames | Or generally some issues on tryEval madness | 11:23:55 |
| raitobezarius | i don't get the problem you are trying to solve just by reading the comment | 11:46:17 |
| piegames | the other half of the mess is here https://github.com/andir/npins/blob/master/src/default.nix#L12-L20 | 11:47:29 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Does Lix ship nix-store.pc? | 13:21:46 |
| K900 | It should be renamed to lix-store because it's not API compatible with cppnix | 13:24:26 |
