I wish the ssh-agent / gnupg agent popup told me what process wanted my creds
<pie_[bnc]>
its gonna be fun if nixpkgs ever gets windows support
<pie_[bnc]>
im not even being serious but
<pie_[bnc]>
literally nothing would build
<pie_[bnc]>
except not literally
<gchristensen>
hmmm it does to some degree already
<pie_[bnc]>
gchristensen: good idea, though something something could just fake a lot off stuff probably - might be nice to have regardless
<gchristensen>
like I thin kyou can already cross-compile a good bit to windows
<DigitalKiwi>
gchristensen: also, the one for firefox
<DigitalKiwi>
blank window "please enter your master password"

DigitalKiwi: with firefox sync kicking 5-10 minutes after you start firefox

meaning you just get a random window asking for credzz
<samueldr>
can't see how this can be abused

learning it's fine to just input your password in a random modal
<pie_[bnc]>
yee
<pie_[bnc]>
i wish challenge response authentication was more of a thing, where you couldnt derive any sensitive informaton even if you wanted
<pie_[bnc]>
of course you cant really do that with data at rest

is there a way to diff two closures?
<qyliss>
there is a program called nix-diff
<ashkitten>
qyliss: i'd like something that makes it easy to identify what paths are different in two unrelated closures (like gimp vs callPackage <nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/graphics/gimp/wrapper.nix> { plugins = [ gimpPlugins.gmic ]; }
<ashkitten>
)
<ashkitten>
and for instance get the difference in size
<ashkitten>
nix-diff seems to be more for different versions of the same derivation

this server takes sooo long to boot I regularly think it is just broken
<samueldr>
gotta love serverey stuff
<gchristensen>
:|
<DigitalKiwi>
maybe it is broken
<gchristensen>
you make a trade. you get all of the ram/cpu/disk , and in exchange it can take 15 minutes to boot
<gchristensen>
nah, DigitalKiwi, I've assumed it was broken 3-4 times, marked it for destruction, and just before the "this server has been deleted." message ....... the system boots :)
<DigitalKiwi>
not completely broken but broken in some way that makes it take forever to boot
<gchristensen>
nah ... it tries to boot like 20 different ways before it boots the only correct way
<gchristensen>
and like 8 of those ways it tries to do DHCP and then waits for DHCP to time out
<samueldr>
don't forget that it also might be testing the ram more thoroughly
<gchristensen>
oh man and the RAID controllers that desperatel ywant to find any RAID array
<samueldr>
right, all servery option roms taking all the time
<gchristensen>
the time I kernel panicked the main file server which didn't have adequate backups it took 30 minutes for that machine to start
<gchristensen>
I pretty much thought I was going to be fired and die

i knew a guy that pulled the wrong disk from an raidz2 array that already had 2 failures. he was not fired, despite the company losing email for several days and something like a week of unrecoverable messages.
<DigitalKiwi>
bet he never did that again
<cransom>
specifically, no. but he wasn't particularly great at other things he did later that i worked with him on either.
<gchristensen>
Has Zimbra loaded emails faster than 5 seconds before? I've never seen it work any faster than that, ever. That's part of the price of using a web interface.
<gchristensen>
owww
<cransom>
it caused such a black eye that the knee jerk was to buy another rack in a data center, call it 'hyper critical' and that was where email and some other things lived.
<colemickens>
years of using this crap and I still get gpg prompting me in random ssh sessions. wew
<colemickens>
and corrupting the input, and not being able to ctrl-c and even when you don't ctrl-c even few chars show up in plaintext and aren't actually handled by the pin handle
<colemickens>
I just can't believe we're stuck with this crap
<colemickens>
now git just hangs because there is a pin handler running... on a disconnected ssh session or something? really nifty

killall gpg-agent or something

i think that's what i do when that happens ;_;

to be perfectly honest, I had forgotten github had a notifications thing

Thanks DigitalKiwi and talyz ! I spent waaay too long on a equation forgetting that it is allowed when isolating, not to do it until you have a expression for a single thing...
