 hexa | apparently nix 2.30.0 tries to keep deleting | 01:42:20 |
 c4lliope | dude you're a real paladin here, I feel like a wolf-child stumbling into civilization. | 01:42:22 |
| c4lliope | boot.tmp.cleanOnBoot = true; - see ya on the other side. | 01:46:09 |
| c4lliope | sure, the tmp files are cleaned up, no real difference.
I did find a reference in a random gcroot to libreoffice -
of the hundreds of gcroots here, how do I responsibly erase a bunch? | 01:52:18 |
| c4lliope | seems like I can make do based on: https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/11-garbage-collector.html | 01:54:32 |
|  @iridiscencia:arcticfoxes.net left the room. | 01:54:47 |

| c4lliope | huzzah praise be. | 02:03:34 |
| c4lliope | now to load up on https://microvm-nix.github.io/microvm.nix images | 02:04:24 |

| jean-paul. | How do I convince nix to use a GitHub token for downloading stuff from GitHub? I keep getting rate limited on CI. I already have access-tokens = github.com=... in ~/.config/nix/nix.conf which seems like it should be enough but clearly isn't.
How do I even tell whether it's trying to use a token for authentication or not?
| 19:04:50 |
| jean-paul. | The only thing I can figure out is to put the credentials in /etc/nix/netrc. No variation of access-tokens works as far as I can tell. | 20:01:27 |
 Scrumplex | netrc is going to be your best bet really as its widely supported by a lot of tools, not just curl.
Something along the lines of
machine github.com
login your_username
password ghp_...
machine api.github.com
login your_username
password ghp_...
