vcunat | But it applies that patch additionally to the regular NixPkgs icu. | 21:14:14 |
hexa | I would kill that | 21:14:24 |
hexa | * I would kill that in the process now | 21:14:27 |
vcunat | So even now we don't gain much in comparison to using the vendored Mozilla's ICU. | 21:14:56 |
vcunat | I'd hope that Mozilla is capable of tracking security issues in ICU well enough. | 21:17:50 |

Emma [it/its] | woah, are we suggesting that we could shrink the firefox drv by ~35 MiB? i know someone who would highly appreciate that (me) | 22:39:11 |
hexa | no, we are not | 22:41:26 |
hexa | if you fancy 35 MB disk space you might also fancy 10 MB RAM | 22:41:39 |

Emma [it/its] | i dont fancy the disk space, do fancy the download time though | 22:42:01 |
Emma [it/its] | though, the #1 offender in that regard is linux-firmware | 22:42:30 |
hexa | well, you'd be saving on disk space if we could use the same icu across firefox and thunderbird, if you used both | 22:42:47 |
hexa | but we already do not | 22:42:50 |
hexa | so nothing saved before or after | 22:42:58 |
Emma [it/its] | * though, the #1 offender in that regard is linux-firmware (at about ~45-50 minutes of download time) | 22:43:30 |
Emma [it/its] | sounds like shaving at least 30 seconds of download time, at least | 22:45:43 |

eveeifyeve | Any good reason that tor-browser doesn't use buildMozzilaMach builder? | 17:02:44 |
vcunat | Maybe this thread?
