Does anyone have a solution for installing apps that place things like .kexts in /Library?
<__monty__>
I wanted to package Karabiner-Elements but symlinking everything into /Library (with sudo : /) didn't seem to work.
<__monty__>
I believe brew just copies files into /Library?
<eraserhd>
__monty__: No idea, but I'm using Karbiner-Elements to work around Alacritty issues (which may no longer exist). Do you think it's better than khd, which is already supported by nix-darwin?
<__monty__>
Hmm, doesn't seem as powerful as karabiner. I'd like to do things like map caps to escape if simply pressed but ctrl-whatever if used as modifier.
<eraserhd>
ok, that makes sense. I think I have a weird use case. That said, if you find a solution, I'll test it and use it at least until such time as I sort out skhd.
<__monty__>
I've given up for now. Installed it through homebrew. But my mappings aren't working : /

I'm down to only a few packages installed via Homebrew! This is exciting!
<gchristensen>
some of those I'd just go ahead and keep using brue
<gchristensen>
brew*
<__monty__>
Hmm, how do you like alfred, and are you familiar with quicksilver?
<__monty__>
1password is in nixpkgs I think?
<__monty__>
Anki fails to build for me too : )
<__monty__>
Oh, and I've been wanting to bump xQuartz.
<eraserhd>
I tried to switch completely to nix in one fell swoop a long time ago, and things broke, and I got rid of nix, but now I'm doing it more sanely. The things that broke were third-party apps that need special permissions or do auto-updates.
<eraserhd>
This is why I haven't done 1password or anki.
<eraserhd>
I like alfred. I use very little of it, though.
<gchristensen>
when I used macOS a lot more, I always got mac gui apps via brew or the app store
<gchristensen>
Nix and Nixpkgs is not good at those
<eraserhd>
Perhaps we should package homebrew for nix? :D
<eraserhd>
I think... that idea is both terrible and good?

gchristensen: Let's *make* it good for that though : )
<disasm>
gchristensen: I haven't seen the waiting for DSMOS thing. What triggers it? Also, was about 1700 each for the mac minis.
<gchristensen>
dunno what triggers it
<gchristensen>
it stands for Don'tStealMacOS
<disasm>
gchristensen: ah, I think we built a custom clover
<disasm>
let me find the code for that
<gchristensen>
oh?
<gchristensen>
it happens once every few boots. hard to predict
