 Atemu | Feel free to shoot a PR | 03:19:27 |
| Atemu | It's just simply not really that high of a priority usually | 03:19:52 |
| Atemu | The most important bits are rust tooling versions for the updater | 03:20:46 |

| jaen | Would you mind if I extracted SOPS support from https://github.com/nix-community/robotnix/pull/203 and made PR for that? And if you don't want the whole thing downstream, then at least minimal changes to support that downstream? I already used that for my Pixel and it would be nice if I didn't have to drop it. | 13:27:17 |

| Atemu | Just had a Geistesblitz: Couldn't we set the gradle cache dir to a sandbox-pierced location like we do with ccache‽ | 17:35:16 |
| Atemu | That could possibly cut down compile time on a hot cache in half or so | 17:36:47 |
| Atemu | I also found https://github.com/mozilla/sccache which can cache rust builds that we might be able to integrate like ccache | 17:37:57 |
 magic_rb | Seeing Nix in readmes of random projects makes me feel warm inajde | 23:47:35 |

| Atemu | Yeah, same happened to me :D | 01:50:30 |
|  matthewcroughan @fosdem changed their display name from matthewcroughan to matthewcroughan @fosdem. | 13:15:34 |
 @roadroller01:matrix.org | i really love the idea of nix but the syntax ughhh until now i couldn't digest it ): | 13:35:14 |
| @roadroller01:matrix.org | and the command line tools are exrermly bad and verbose you cann | 13:35:35 |
| @roadroller01:matrix.org | * and the command line tools are exrermly bad and verbose you can't easily find the line that cause the error | 13:35:57 |
| @roadroller01:matrix.org | * and the command line tools are extremely bad and verbose you can't easily find the line that cause the error | 13:36:04 |
| @roadroller01:matrix.org | like in example why to add a pkg to the system you need to do nix-env -iA pkgName!! | 13:37:34 |
| @roadroller01:matrix.org | in alpine you could just do apk add pkgName | 13:37:56 |
| @roadroller01:matrix.org | i might create wrapper tool with the name of npk that uses the apk commands instead of the ugly nix-env -iA | 13:40:50 |
| magic_rb | Or just dont use nix-env | 14:05:45 |
| magic_rb | Thats bad advice you got | 14:05:49 |
| Atemu | If you're attempting to do the equivalent of apk add, you're missing out on most of what makes Nix so great; we generally do not perform this kind of operation because Nix offers better, conceptually entirely different methods to achieve the (side-)effects of "package installation". | 15:24:43 |
| @roadroller01:matrix.org | i mean with apk add is to add to my config | 17:17:30 |
| pentane | could you keep it on-topic please? this conversation is more well-suited for the general help channels/ | 17:30:44 |
