 lillecarl | There might be a little "race" if paths are queried and updated when using nix-store --gc --print-dead which i use to get candidate paths 😸 When testing locally I didn't consider that I don't run the patched daemon everywhere | 01:48:09 |

 Claes | @lillecarl, you are becoming famous. They discussed your stuff in Full time Nix podcast, 16 minutes in

| lillecarl | Claes: I shoudl've kept it quiet for longer :p there's still so much to trim | 23:41:29 |
| lillecarl | Thanks for the links though :d | 23:41:39 |
| Claes | Dawn tried to pronounce your name, funny | 23:42:04 |
| lillecarl | 😆 Ernst Carl++ | 23:43:28 |
| lillecarl | I don't remember who mentioned it last meetup (I think it was you), the Ernst thing is legt top tier 😄 | 23:44:33 |
| Claes | Yeah I mentioned that people think you are Ernst. Or the other way around, hard to tell! | 23:46:36 |
| lillecarl | I am Ernst, the 30 year old immature impatient dickhead with a passion 😆 | 23:48:43 |
| Claes | and you like home modelling and baking bread I am sure | 23:51:33 |
| lillecarl | He missed the part where it doesn't require anything from the kube node (Yeah you can install nix-snapshotter anywhere). But I think that's fine to misunderstand/misinterpret bits 😄 | 23:55:42 |
| lillecarl | The real deal is: This can be deployed with "YAML" and nothing else 😄 Whatever Kube you're running, wherever it's running | 23:56:47 |
| lillecarl | nix-snapshotter requires you to install containerd and configure a nix-snapshotter plugin into containerd so it can read the pod manifest URL as storepaths, something something | 23:58:19 |
| lillecarl | Happy to see it being heard! In a few weeks I reckon i'll be able to do a 1.0 actually. Most things have been considered | 23:59:34 |

| lillecarl | Currently I'm digging through Lix codebase to implement the "time based GC" thing i keep talking about | 00:00:14 |
| 1 Nov 2025 |
| lillecarl | The "solution": Just query the nix database for old registrationTime paths and run nix store delete on them, if they're gcrooted the delete fail. This way the hack that updates registrationTime whenever a path is queried works since we won't do any querying 😄 | 22:02:05 |
 markuskowa | Sounds simple and less intrusive than patching lix/nix | 22:03:41 |
| lillecarl | Nono I'm still patching Lix, though it's a very tiny patch and you don't have to patch your client, the service just runs a slightly patched Lix to do the updating whenever a path is queried. There's no way around that except running a command after nix build or nix copy which I don't think is nice at all 😄 | 22:05:56 |
| lillecarl | Took FOREVER to build the patched Lix for aarch64 | 22:06:44 |
| markuskowa | Did you give nixbuild.net a try? | 22:16:54 |
| lillecarl | A long long time ago, it's very good | 22:19:48 |
| lillecarl | * | 22:20:50 |
| markuskowa | Ah yes, but it is very good for these big builds. Brings the build time down from forever to short. | 22:24:45 |
| lillecarl | https://www.meetup.com/openstack-user-group-sweden/ <- I should've posted this earlier but there's an infrastructure event held every not so often which I'm gonna start attending. And their notes:
This includes hardware platforms, infrastructure-as-a-Service, virtualisation (kvm, proxmox, etc.), open-source operating systems (Nix anyone?)
| 22:27:56 |
| 2 Nov 2025 |
| lillecarl | Used nixbuild.net this time, the time to configure it + build was like 1/5 what it took to do the QEMU ARM build of Lix | 17:59:11 |
