@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat But it applies that patch additionally to the regular NixPkgs icu. 21:14:14
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI would kill that21:14:24
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa* I would kill that in the process now21:14:27
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatSo even now we don't gain much in comparison to using the vendored Mozilla's ICU.21:14:56
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatI'd hope that Mozilla is capable of tracking security issues in ICU well enough.21:17:50

@emma:rory.gayEmma [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:lossy.networkhexano, we are not22:41:26
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaif you fancy 35 MB disk space you might also fancy 10 MB RAM22:41:39
@hexa:lossy.networkhexahttps://discourse.nixos.org/t/i-can-unbloat-systemd/74021/3322:41:59
@emma:rory.gayEmma [it/its]i dont fancy the disk space, do fancy the download time though22:42:01
@emma:rory.gayEmma [it/its]though, the #1 offender in that regard is linux-firmware22:42:30
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawell, you'd be saving on disk space if we could use the same icu across firefox and thunderbird, if you used both22:42:47
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut we already do not22:42:50
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaso nothing saved before or after22:42:58
@emma:rory.gayEmma [it/its]* though, the #1 offender in that regard is linux-firmware (at about ~45-50 minutes of download time)22:43:30
@emma:rory.gayEmma [it/its]sounds like shaving at least 30 seconds of download time, at least22:45:43
@emma:rory.gayEmma [it/its]* sounds like shaving at least 30 seconds of download time on a good day, at least22:45:57
