a few hours of work and I have a rust program able to navigate Nix's remote build protocol negotiation... now comes the hard part.

Is it feasible to use nix on windows?
<simpson>
Arahael: I assumed that the answer was no. I found this fascinating technical report that I haven't yet read; it's a few years old: https://ternaris.com/lab/nix-on-windows.html
<Arahael>
simpson: Right, and apparently it just works in WSL, too, but I want to consider it for a windows toolchain.
<Arahael>
I would personally find cygwin *annoying*.

Arahael: FWIW, it's possible to cross compile to Windows from Linux.
<jackdk>
I have been very impressed by the cross compilation support in nixpkgs

jackdk, i get the feeling half the difficulty of cross compiling is just setting up the toolchain but i wouldnt know
<pie_>
and nixpkgs handles that

elvishjerricco: Sadly, it's not good enough in our case.
<Arahael>
elvishjerricco: Our build process requires windows-specific tools.
<elvishjerricco>
ah, darn
<Arahael>
I'm frustrated that I have to type 'alsacfg restore' every time I mute/unmute audio, it seems.
<Arahael>
ANd I've no idea why.

physical attacks against nixos machines: press up key to boot previous configuration
<sphalerite>
ivan: if you can do that you can also press e and edit the kernel command line to do nasty things. Assuming you're not walled off from booting into the actual system by encrypted root :)
<tilpner>
sphalerite: Unless you do e.g. boot.loader.systemd-boot.editor = false;
<sphalerite>
tilpner: sure, but how likely is that to happen? :p
<sphalerite>
tilpner: I introduced that option, but didn't want to default it to enabled because if you need it and it's disabled by default it kind of sucks
<tilpner>
Very, likely. My laptop has the editor disabled, but you can still boot previous generations
<tilpner>
(Uhh, commas)
<sphalerite>
uh default to disabled*

headphones have magic powers
<gchristensen>
this super private meeting was going here right next to me, and I had my headphones in. I wasn't listening to anything so could hear every detail. I took my headphones out and they started whispering. I put them back in and they resumed their previous volume.
<drakonis>
agreed
<jasongrossman>
Awesome.
<jasongrossman>
What were they saying though?!
<gchristensen>
it was about a break-through (probably worthless) thing they were building on the internet
<jasongrossman>
Made me laugh.

when i was in a cube farm, it was super great for deniability if someone walked by your cube thinking they might get your attention, but you 'didnt notice them'
