<drakonis>
so grub has a ton of hilarious legacy baggage for old hardware support?

<drakonis>
inherently not a terrible thing but still a bit prone to messy code
<clever>
drakonis: with modern chips, the cpu is intercepting any attempt to hit the a20 line on the keyboard controller, and then gating the addr line within the cpu logic
<clever>
because it doesnt really have an external addr bus anymore, its often a high speed serial link

<etu>
Hmm, I should do a timer that goes to /etc/nixos every day and makes a "git pull"
<etu>
That way I can update my systems with new configs and autoUpdate without doing anything
<etu>
The level of lazyness will be amazing
jasongrossman has joined #nixos-chat
<zimbatm>
etu: did you mean system.autoUpgrade.enable ;)
<Taneb>
zimbatm: I think etu was describing updating their configuration itself, from GitHub (useful if they have multiple computers with the same config!)
<etu>
zimbatm: yeah
<zimbatm>
I see
<srhb>
NIX_PATH=nixos-config=https:/// ... ?
<etu>
zimbatm: I mean that one. But I would like to have something that updates my config files from github as well :-)
<etu>
srhb: haha, oh, wow. I should try that :D
<srhb>
May void your warranty :P
<etu>
What warranty?
<srhb>
Oh, right.
<srhb>
Go ahead :P
<srhb>
If someone fixes the NIX_PATH parser to support ssh-ng as well that would be really awesome.
<etu>
I simple timer with a "git pull" is probably easier to debug when something goes wrong
<srhb>
Yep.
<etu>
So I think I go with that anyways
<infinisil>
I don't like having my config exclusively over the internet
<infinisil>
I often don't have a good internet connection
<zimbatm>
another way is to use nixops to deploy on all the machines
<zimbatm>
it's more of a push model
<zimbatm>
I use zerotier so all the machines are reachable with fixed IPs, of they are online
<etu>
Taneb: Yeah, I have 3 systems that uses autoUpgrade and automatic garbage collection. And they share a lot of config.
<Taneb>
I currently only have one, because I didn't manage to install NixOS on my new laptop last night :(
<joepie91>
it does require a bit of manual command-running to get it going iirc
<joepie91>
I ended up using some mix of the service config in nixpkgs and the manual instructions on the... wiki?
<joepie91>
but basically you need to instantiate the state yourself first
<joepie91>
keys and such
<sphalerite>
not really I think?
<joepie91>
(unless this is fixed by now)
<sphalerite>
You can do it exclusively using nixos-rebuild and config editing
<sphalerite>
1. enable tinc, rebuild switch
<joepie91>
certainly didn't work back when I set it up :P
<sphalerite>
2. Copy definition from /etc/tinc/netname/hosts/$HOSTNAME to configuration.nix
<sphalerite>
3. rebuild switch again
<sphalerite>
(you don't need to do part number 2, except for other machines that are supposed to connect to the machine you're doing these steps on )

Password requirements
<infinisil>
"The password contains: Digits Letters (lower and upper case) Special characters Characters may be repeated a maximum of 3 times You must use at least 8 characters (or 12 for purely alphabetical passwords) Username is not part of the password"
<infinisil>
I got a checkmark on all of those, but I can't use that one because: "Invalid character"
<infinisil>
AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT CHARACTER
<adisbladis>
:D
<infinisil>
And now they won't send me an email with my confirmation code, because who knows
<infinisil>
Email is 100% correct, I didn't make a typo
<infinisil>
And it's not in the spam folder
<infinisil>
"If you do not receive an e-mail from us within the next few minutes, please check your spam folder and the spelling of your e-mail address.", along with the buttons to click: Amend e-mail address, Send new code
<infinisil>
No button for "No seriously it's not working, you messed something up on your end"
<infinisil>
(There's lots of machines involved with sending an email, I guess it doesn't have to be them)
<emily>
infinisil: wh-what is this interface even for?
<emily>
it sounds not worth it. you should just not bother.
<infinisil>
emily: Trying to get a mobile data packet for england..
<infinisil>
Me, studying computer science, couldn't figure out how to make it work for 20 minutes. After that I called support and let them know that their system is broken
<infinisil>
is broken and sucks
<infinisil>
That's Swisscom btw, I rate 1/10
<infinisil>
Support said "Yeah from 22:00 onwards in the evening there can be maintenance happening"
