 Wanja Hentze | in my professional opinion distributed transactions don't really work | 21:56:53 |
| Wanja Hentze | but I'm happy to be proven wrong | 21:57:05 |
| Wanja Hentze | you can pull them off with a consensus algorithm but I don't want my deployments to be a CP (in terms of CAP) | 21:58:19 |
| Wanja Hentze | * you can pull them off with a consensus algorithm but I don't want my deployments to be a CP system (in terms of CAP) | 21:58:38 |
 raitobezarius | I don't think the feature should be implemented in the deployment system | 22:31:03 |
| raitobezarius | Magic rollback should be part of NixOS to a certain extent | 22:31:12 |

in my professional opinion distributed transactions don't really work well if you care about C or A… | 22:32:09 |
| raitobezarius | hot take: distributed tx works if you prove that you cannot have P in your network to a certain extent | 22:32:39 |
| raitobezarius | checkmate CAP theorem | 22:32:49 |
| Wanja Hentze | If you're going to pretend things never go wrong, might as well not have rollback either | 22:35:44 |

Magic rollback should be part of NixOS to a certain extent the rollback part yes (and it is), but the "can I still use my deployment tool on this machine" part depends on the deployment tool | 22:38:20 |

If you're going to pretend things never go wrong, might as well not have rollback either that's the goal | 22:38:43 |
| raitobezarius | trying to rollback is already defeat | 22:38:51 |
| Wanja Hentze | we have that today | 22:38:57 |
| raitobezarius | In reply to @whentze:matrix.org
the rollback part yes (and it is), but the "can I still use my deployment tool on this machine" part depends on the deployment tool right | 22:39:02 |
| raitobezarius | In reply to @whentze:matrix.org
we have that today checkmate myself | 22:39:38 |
| Wanja Hentze | the ostrich algorithm is already full implemented 😎 | 22:41:38 |

 void | i just need something like touch /tmp/doing_switching; nixos-rebuild switch; while [ -f /tmp/doing_switch ]; sleep 5; done; if [ ! -f /tmp/done_switching ]; then nixos-rebuild switch --rollback; | 23:06:18 |

touch /tmp/doing\_switching;

| void | colmena will ssh touch /tmp/done_switching; | 23:17:20 |
| void | * colmena will ssh touch /tmp/done_switching; for instance in the test section. | 23:18:26 |
| void | this will save me from pretty much all the mistakes I make (too hot here 33 deg cel during the day, can't concentrate sometimes) | 23:19:25 |
| Wanja Hentze | yep, it's quite low-tech | 23:53:04 |
| Wanja Hentze | can be built out of an activation script and a "post-apply" script on colmena's end | 23:53:30 |
