[current mood: https://xkcd.com/349/ ]
I need someone who already has an account on https://git.lix.systems/ to file a bug report for me. I have repeatedly tried to create an account and the email confirmation email just never shows up.
I would also accept "manual creation of a non-github-based account" for me (as per the FAQ). No, I can't use Matrix to ask for one. I don't want to talk about that.
ehlo @lix_project I cannot sign up to your gitlab, I never receive a confirmation mail.
#lix
Who’s keeping track of all the nix implementations?
I'm finally exploring lix (loving it!) and just saw snix announced. Are there any systematic comparisons out there? I'd appreciate links or resources!
@lix_project Any chance you could put anchors on your FAQ page so we could link to specific questions? That would be really useful :)
#lix gives a pretty human readable error here, but it still leaves me with no insight as to why that string isn't a package.
If you are a maintainer of #nix, #nixpkgs or #nixos: listen up.
You've got about 2 years or so being a serious contender, until someone like #lix or even #ostree with #ComposeFS comes in and eats your lunch.
Part and parcel of that is the community, the language, the security of knowing that there is culpability and responsibility.
Linus Torvalds had to walk it off because an entire foundation told him to. If the nix "community" is beyond this, why give #DeterminateSystems contracts?
So... instead of going back to #FedoraAtomic, I'm going over to... #lix. Well tomorrow I'm going over to.
I'm on #NixOS now and the idea of going from #nix to lix intrigues me. It's just a change of the underlying tooling that interacts with the nix store, but I'm fascinated by the idea that you can compose NixOS using whatever tooling that works with it.
The nix store is then fully decoupled from nix and nixpkgs, making it more a competing standard against #ostree.
The firefox-bin
package in Nixpkgs is about to be marked as unfree because of the Terms of Use update.
The new Terms of Use only apply to Mozilla's official binaries, so the firefox
package (which is built from the official sources by Hydra) is unnafected.

Time for an impromptu status report of ongoing things.
#Lix finally merged custom CLI behind an experimental flag `lix-custom-sub-commands`, which means that now, everyone is empowered to do the things pictured, without having to be forced an *single* implementation (e.g. Flakes).
The feature is very simple and does not have auto-completion or more things that you may see in Git, but I'm already using it with `lix deploy` (colmena) and `lix pin` to simplify the tooling I use :-).
#Lix is clearly the superior #Nix implementation because it has infinity more meows than #CppNix: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+meow+repo:%5Egithub%5C.com/(NixOS/nix%7Clix-project/lix)$&patternType=keyword&sm=0
So the #lix people got me convinced to give it a try and either I am a magnet for bugs and a born QA tester or else I do not know anymore...

Amazing, how big a deal a single 1st down pass seems for the Chiefs
Haaagen Daaaasz
Not so fast
Not so furious
Think I've seen the NerdWallet commercial before
Eagles 27, Chiefs 0
Eagles settle for a field goal. Seems like a touchdown would have been lights out for the Chiefs, but this might still be lights out.
