elvishjerricco: What do you use instead?
<lovesegfault>
I was thinking of starting to use nixops
<gchristensen>
oh cool, invidious is written in Crystal
<elvishjerricco>
lovesegfault: The wrong thing. It's useful for automating major environments, but I'm just using it for personal machines.
<elvishjerricco>
gchristensen: What kind of new life?
<lovesegfault>
elvishjerricco: It's been ported to py3 and got type annots
<elvishjerricco>
Ah. Not really relevant to the user experience :P
<gchristensen>
being py3 + having type annotations -> MUCH easier to improve
<gchristensen>
elvishjerricco: what makes it ill-suited for personal machines?
malSet has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
<elvishjerricco>
gchristensen: Ill suited isn't the word I'd use. Just unnecessary. But also the eval times are way worse (a problem when your config is as needlessly complex as mine :P)
<lovesegfault>
gchristensen: I have no idea how to use it
<gchristensen>
interesting, nixops makes the eval time longer?
<elvishjerricco>
Doesn't it end up evaling your config like 3 or 4 times or something?
<elvishjerricco>
That's the eval problem I'm referring to
<gchristensen>
hmm not sure
<elvishjerricco>
I know it did at one point. May have changed, but I doubt it
<elvishjerricco>
The crux is that it calls nix-instantiate to get config information, and has to do so two or three times
<gchristensen>
ah
<elvishjerricco>
And then I think the Nix code itself ends up eval'ing your config twice with different parameters, but only in the last nix-instantiate
<gchristensen>
wow
<elvishjerricco>
IIRC
<elvishjerricco>
It's been a while since I looked into this problem
<elvishjerricco>
I also just really don't like its key management, so I want to find something better

Ugh. Bluetooth is probably the most consistently failing part of NixOS for me
<elvishjerricco>
Like 80% of the time, I have to freakin reboot to be able to connect my headphones
<samueldr>
is this something that's better in other distros? if so, maybe there's something to learn and improve from them
<elvishjerricco>
I have no idea. NixOS is the only Linux I've ever actually used in earnest
<elvishjerricco>
But whether it's Linux's or NixOS's fault, it's a pretty sorry state

<sphalerite>
,tell lovesegfault you can also use pulseaudioFull rather than overriding it if you want to get it from the cache
<{^_^}>
sphalerite: I'll pass that on to lovesegfault
<elvishjerricco>
sphalerite: I do use pulseaudioFull already
<sphalerite>
what areyour concrete problems though actually?
<sphalerite>
I don't really have problems with bluetooth except HFP/HSP vs A2DP
<ar>
for me, sometimes connecting with the headphones gives me a connection with no services resolved (→ headphones don't show up in pavucontrol). in that case the sequence of, pulseaudio -k, pavucontrol (to force relaunch of PA), sudo systemctl restart bluetooth, and reconnecting to headphones fixes it
<ar>
it usually happens after i've done at least one update (nix-channel --update, nixos-rebuild switch)
<yorick>
ar: they fixed it in recent pulseaudio
<yorick>
I think
<ar>
yorick: how recent? i'm on -unstable and it happened to me yesterday
<yorick>
okay, then you have another bug

sphalerite: The most common thing is that I attempt to connect my headphones, but they don't connect as any useful device; i.e. no audio device. I've tried applying the supposed fix with pulseaudio as a patch but that didn't help, and neither did setting the pusleaudio package from unstable. In blueman, I can't select an audio profile, so I must assume it's just not connecting as an audio device.

e.g. see above, T14s is going to have 4K but only on intel models

i can only assume it's intel being scummy

i actually wonder if the 4k screens will end up actually being compatible

Anyone in/near CET have experience getting a double-sided PCB fabbed, like only 2-5 units?
<gchristensen>
does dirtypcbs.com count?

Wow, how is a matte black PCB of 5x5 cm a surplus of $25?!
<__monty__>
Does *anyone* want black PCBs that bad?

I was hoping for something kinda local. Is china really the only place for affordable small batch fabbing?
<gchristensen>
no they aren't, for example I buy from oshpark which is not in china
<__monty__>
I know there's fabs relatively close by. Is it worth bothering to contact them as someone who doesn't know what they're talking about? Or do fabs that don't advertise their services to "hackers/DIY" not deal with hobbyists?
<gchristensen>
worth a shot

if they do price is still way higher compared to china but quality is also better

every month I have to "print to pdf" a bunch of pages, and they're always the same pages in the same order in a predictable format. I'd love to not have to type it in a bunch of times

probably using GSettings api
<jtojnar>
GConf has been abandoned for ages
<gchristensen>
yeah... I ended up finding dconf? is that using gsettings?
<gchristensen>
though I didn't find an entry for it
<jtojnar>
yeah, dconf database is one of backends supported by GSettings
<jtojnar>
(usually the default one)
<jtojnar>
apparently GtkPrintSettings does not use GSettings
<jtojnar>
but keyfile
malSet has joined #nixos-chat

at least output-dir should be configurable in print-settings.ini
<jtojnar>
but I am not sure where the file is located

scratch that, I was looking into wrong source file
<jtojnar>
gchristensen looks like Firefox actually sets the path via some GTK api call from `print.print_to_filename` Firefox config key
<gchristensen>

letsencrypt bug
<emily>
if you don't renew your certificates then every client that checks for revocations (e.g. Firefox by default) will stop letting people into your site
<emily>
or do you mean what people could have done if they didn't revoke?
<ashkitten>
right
<emily>
you could issue a certificate with let's encrypt even through the domain has CAA records specifying that only other some other CA should be able to issue certificates for it
<emily>
which is an invalidly issued certificate
<emily>
and if you invalidly issue certificates, you must report it and revoke them
<emily>
in this case, they have no way of knowing which certificates were validly issued during the period
<emily>
because the DNS records could have changed since
<ashkitten>
right, okay
<emily>
so, <nuclear option>
<ashkitten>
so it doesn't actually enable attackers though?
<emily>
i mean maybe anyone in your org can put stuff in /.well-known/acme-challenge
<emily>
but it's ok because your CAA records say that only Very Scrutinizing Certificates Co. can issue
<emily>
which uses some other means of verification
<emily>
then that rogue person could get certificates for your domain and hoard them away for a later attack
<emily>
(well... up to 90 days later? ^^; )
<ashkitten>
lol
