Why did I accept to give a 8:30 course at my 1h-from-home-university again ?

Aren't you all amazed by how your brain is able to erease the artist breathing noises in a song or your nose right in the middle of your field of view? And how your life become miserable once you discover those facts?

Why would I deploy my NixOS configuration via colmena when it's so stateless that I can NixOS anywhere it ?

Today's bullying: I really needed to override an option's default inside a module I don't control and that I don't want to vendor inside my config. Had to override type's getSubModule function.

My latest hobby is to completely bully the NixOS module system to make it do things it doesn't want to do.

@npub1wll…ftkq It didn't really work because coercedTo doesn't work with submodules but I used it as inspiration to write my own type! thanks :)

@npub1wll…ftkq Hmm nice will have a look!

2024-08-13 08:20:11

Someone knows if there is a type in the NixOS module system that acts like "listOf" but where duplicated values are discarded on merge?

@npub1jsd…js56 I think that bit is a reference to the JonRinger drama, wouldn't think it applies to you

The person next to me in the train is reading "Trop intelligent pour être heureux, l'adulte surdoué" :')
(Which roughly translates to "Too intelligent to be happy, the gifted adult")

I have an injury at one feet so I bought bandages. Glad to know they are special Paris 2024 bandages, they have to be so much better!

The inevitable tension between having a boring computer that works or an exciting one that doesn’t.

@npub172s…fz7x That's fine because of Nix lazyness! It would still have qemu as one of its parameters but as it would not be used it would not be built :)

@npub172s…fz7x Oh you did Nix crimes I see. I was more thinking about using overrideAttrs to override the installPhase but this works as well :p

@npub172s…fz7x do try that and ping me if you are having any trouble, I might be able to help :)

@npub172s…fz7x I think here you may want to use an override ? https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/using/overrides/

@npub19am…qjn6 I am, collision of the /nix/store/*.drv files. When evaluating a lot of revision I started to have more and more « evaluation failures » (just nix unable to create the file).

We knew it was going to happen, but still a very saddening evening… fascists are ahead Europe-wide, and the situation is especially bad in France. I can only wish we're able to unite and take this as a wake up call to start fighting back
