Alright sweet. I now have a little systemd unit that stops my display manager, sets up vfio, starts a vm, then in ExecStopPost it undoes all of it and starts the display manager. I can now seamlessly switch back and forth between windows and linux without a reboot!
<elvishjerricco>
Only problem is that my windows install seems to have botched itself; it's not using the display as a hidpi display
<cole-h>
Might need to install drivers
<cole-h>
Are you using nvidia? If so, you might additonally be running into code 43 (which gimps your GPU because it's not "licensed for virtualization" or whatever)
<cole-h>
kalbasit: Probably want to rm the buddylist.txt file :P (I should too, really)
<kalbasit>
cole-h: `modules/programs/weechat/default.nix` is the Nix part
<kalbasit>
cole-h: yea I noticed that. Not sure what it is yet either :)
<cole-h>
It's for the buddylist.pl plugin I used to use
<elvishjerricco>
cole-h: How would I identify if it's code 43?
<cole-h>
Gives "buddies" some sort of distinguishment, and lets you know when they connect / disconnect from a server IIRC.
<cole-h>
Haven't used it in a while
<cole-h>
elvishjerricco: In devmgmt.msc, I think the "display adapter" should show a yellow triangle and if you go into details it'll say "code 43" somewhere
<elvishjerricco>

<cole-h>
Sounds good :)
<kalbasit>
cole-h: not sure if you noticed, but instead of allowing weechat from loading the flake repo, I created a separate edit-weechat-config command to open weechat with a temporary directory to allow editing/saving
<elvishjerricco>
cole-h: Ah, it is code 43
<cole-h>
kalbasit: FWIW, I'm not sure how necessary the loginctl enable-linger thing is necessary -- I didn't have to do it on my most recent reinstall.
<cole-h>
elvishjerricco: Yeah, figured. 99% sure all you need is that one line (properly nested, of course) and it should fix itself.
<kalbasit>
cole-h: thanks! I did not try it either. My goal is to eventualy run it on my server and use a fifo to forward notifications over to my workstations
<elvishjerricco>
cole-h: How does that line translate to qemu command line?
<kalbasit>
I did that before, but man that was like 10 years ago
<cole-h>
I've also seen people use 0x1234567890
<cole-h>
kalbasit: Yeah, I remember I had to enable lingering on Arch, but since I switched to NixOS, I haven't had to. Maybe we do it automagically.
<cole-h>
elvishjerricco: sec, lemme goog'
<cole-h>
elvishjerricco: `-cpu 'host,kvm=off,hv_vendor_id=null'` I think
<cole-h>
(kvm=off just hides KVM from the VM itself, doesn't disable the acceleration :P)
<cole-h>
Under the "Set KVM hidden for direct QEMU usage" header
<elvishjerricco>

Well now I gotta figure out why audio isn't working... I see a bunch of crap like `ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused`, but pulse/alsa shouldn't matter because the audio is supposed to go through the GPU's sound output, which I have properly passed through

elvishjerricco: what are you doing? QEMU windows with GPU pass+
<elvishjerricco>
Ok fixed it. Bunch of crap about Message Signaled-based Interrupts
<elvishjerricco>
eyJhb: Yea. I'm trying to set it up so I don't even have to reboot even though I only have one GPU
<elvishjerricco>
Now that I've fixed the audio, it's pretty seamless!
<elvishjerricco>
`systemctl start guest.service` kills my display manager, disables the gpu, and hands it over to a qemu vm
<elvishjerricco>
windows boots and everything works as you'd expect
<eyJhb>
And on shutdown it is given back?
<elvishjerricco>
eyJhb: Yep. The ExecStopPost of the service reverts all the hardware configuration and does `systemctl start display-manager.service`
<eyJhb>
Sounds really cool!
<eyJhb>
Something that you can "easily" share?
<elvishjerricco>
There's a warm fuzzy feeling about having windows completely sandboxed from my actual hardware, and stored on a zfs volume I can freely snapshot/rollback/backup/etc.
<elvishjerricco>
eyJhb: Yea I suppose. It's just a NixOS module now
<elvishjerricco>
Though it has a link to a specific GPU bios rom that you'd have to replace for your own machine, and some of the specific params/paths in the config will depend on amd vs nvidia
<eyJhb>
GPU BIOS ROM? Used to make ti possble+
<eyJhb>
to make it possible? or what is the function of that?
<elvishjerricco>
Might be some crud in there from all the experimentation but that's what I'm using now
<elvishjerricco>
It assumes windows is already installed on a zvol
<elvishjerricco>
What would be REALLY neat would be if I could disconnect the X session from the GPU somehow and reconnect it when Windows shuts down so I could keep all my X windows and whatnot open
<LinuxHackerman>
That sounds tricky
<LinuxHackerman>
but maybe it's in the domain of tools like criu
<elvishjerricco>
LinuxHackerman: What's criu?
<LinuxHackerman>
checkpoint/restore in userspace
<LinuxHackerman>
magical process suspend/resume stuff
<elvishjerricco>
whoa
<eyJhb>
Looks cool elvishjerricco ! :D Might be useable in the future!

AFAIU it lets you do things like suspend a process, reboot the machine, then resume the process
<eyJhb>
When will we get a private /nix/store.... :(

eyJhb: What's private nix store got to do with it?

nothing, presumably :p

<elvishjerricco>

philipp[m]: WORK?! :(
<philipp[m]>
eyJhb: Apparently it's a condition to get payed by your employer. I don't like it.
<eyJhb>
philipp[m]: Ohh I agree, we should do something about it. Seems like a little too much to ask.
<__monty__>
Sounds like you've been had, to use the proper legalese.
<jD91mZM2>
While this might seem as nothing, the Rust-based nix evaluation system I'm building has full support for partially evaluating bits and bobs, which will make it useful in rnix-lsp where we might not want to evaluate more than necessary
<jD91mZM2>
Hence the first line with NODE_IDENT - that's after just one iteration of evaluation, the remaining output is printed after the whole thing has been evaluated
<ma27[m]>
jD91mZM2: nice! I actually started thinking about how we could teach rnix-lsp how to do some more completion %)
<jD91mZM2>
ma27[m]: Yeah, rnix-lsp is very much a hack IMO, it evaluates some stuff manually and it's all weird. With a full evaluation engine we could tell it to evaluate all nodes reaching to the cursor position, and then give us a list of all variables in scope
<jD91mZM2>
That said, I suppose I'll need to teach this engine to keep track of where variables are set, if we want Goto Definition... hmm..
<ma27[m]>
regarding variable detection: yeah. Though I think it's pretty fine when it comes to detecting which values are expected at which cursor position (e.g. when I'm in a `inherit ...`)
<ma27[m]>
Hmm I was wondering if we could ffi into nix somehow, that would e.g. improve the completions of builtins btw
<philipp[m]>
lol, seems like today my work is that we need to explain my technically pretty much illiterate bosses father who is very much in denial about the fact that he is technically illiterate that he got scammed by this indian dev team he hired and that they didn't sell him a finished working website, but a mockup.
<eyJhb>
philipp[m]: Is it worth the money?
<philipp[m]>
eyJhb: I don't know what he payed but... No :D
<eyJhb>
No more, is the job worth the money if you have to do such things :p
<eyJhb>
But also, this is why frontend devs can score a lot. You make a pretty design, some idiot falls in love with it, you can get bank. Even if it doesn't or barely works.
<philipp[m]>
Eeeeh, this is an extreme day. Most of the time I get to do interesting things.
<philipp[m]>
Also: Self respect? In this economy?
<eyJhb>
WELL! I guess it depends on where you are in the world :p
<eyJhb>
But I am guessing the US?
<eyJhb>
*based on the time
<philipp[m]>
Nah, Europe. It's actually decent here.

Then it is no problem! :D But wait, where in EU? It is .. nvm, this is actually a time where people work.

jD91mZM2: Another Sweden buddy! How many swedes are in this place?! Denmark here, northren part. I can actually receive the Swedish P3 (I think), when I drive outside the city :D
<adisbladis>
eyJhb: Far too many damn swedes!
<jD91mZM2>

Sooo... Nisseøl?

referring to it as "juice" is- oh wait... maybe this guy speaks Scottish English
<adisbladis>
tazjin called it christmas juice
<adisbladis>
I really liked the term
<eyJhb>
I think there is still some alcohol in our Nisseøl however...
<jD91mZM2>
Apparently in Scottish English everything is referred to as "juice", I mean as long as it's not beer. Which is really fun

jD91mZM2: lived in Glasgow for 4 years, cannot confirm
<jD91mZM2>
LinuxHackerman: What, really? But why would the internet ... lie??
<LinuxHackerman>
oh wait actually yeah I think soft drinks in general would be called juice by some.

It could also be an Edinbrough thing as well, but I'll have to look it up

Or maybe your neighbor is on your lawn with a leaf blower trying to make you confused

jD91mZM2: It's a flat on the fifth floor

Spacex, I wanna see boom!
<infinisil>
Or vroom!
<bbigras>
hehe
<philipp[m]>
infinisil: No boom today means maybe vroom later.
<gchristensen>
yeah but also boom today means boom today and vroom later
<infinisil>
(some amount of negation missing there)
<gchristensen>
I didn't mean to negate anything
<infinisil>
But once boom there can't be any boom or vroom later, no?
<gchristensen>
if they boom they'll make another to vroom
<gchristensen>
but they'll never make one to boom
* srhb
is very confused
<srhb>
Are we rooting for boom or vroom?
<gchristensen>
tbh both
<srhb>
Does it ever go zoom?
<gchristensen>
if it goes boom I assure you there will be a lot of zoom
* srhb
nods sagely
<bbigras>
I'm rooting for a couple of booms to teach Musk a lesson. He does good things but says a lot of stupid things too.

I think he just does "fatten my wallet" things.
<bbigras>
I think the tesla stuff might help the electric car industry. like lower the cost and make those car more mainstream.
<cole-h>
Starlink seems interesting, but I don't really know anything about it
<bbigras>
for the spacex stuff, I'm more a nasa fanboy. I wish the US would just finance it correctly.
<gchristensen>
hear hear
<__monty__>
Starlink sounds more like a disaster tbh. Have you heard any of the criticism from the astronomer community?
<eyJhb>
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<gchristensen>
infinisil: ping me if it looks like another static fire is coming
<eyJhb>
:( I told you , I would miss it.
<gchristensen>
eyJhb: you'd have missed it if you'd blinked at the wrong moment
<eyJhb>
Damn...
<srhb>
Youtube should have a feature where you could mirror a live stream, but with some offset, but the recipient wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't live (unless there's something giving it away on the stream itself)
<srhb>
Imagine the happiness it'd bring

<ldlework>
philipp[m]: you play Go?
<infinisil>
Honkmans
<philipp[m]>
ldlework: no, but I airways wondered whether I should.
<__monty__>
ldlework: Thanks for telling us about Hex, btw. It's a fun game.
<ldlework>
__monty__: the most interesting thing about Hex, I think, is that offense and defense are truly synonymous in the game. Not in a metaphorical sense, but a mathematical one.
<__monty__>
My impression was "control" really flipped around quickly. Maybe that's why.
<ldlework>
if you prevent a connection in hex, you have necessarily yourself, connected
<ldlework>
so weird
<__monty__>
What's special about Hex's "star points" btw?
<ldlework>
no clue
<eyJhb>
srhb: HONK HONK
<__monty__>
Is it just they're equally valuable to both players?
<eyJhb>
:D
<__monty__>
I didn't really find an advantage in them.
<philipp[m]>
I think they are just for easier distance measurements
<philipp[m]>
At least I found them helpful for that.
<__monty__>
Go definitely has a similar feel. Sequences where you're racing to an edge together came up frequently. Are they called "ladders?"
<ldlework>
they are lol

having /bin/sh log what called it and how has proven very useful, letting me see the way google is trying to launch xdg-open to launch slack to add a new workspace, but failed ... I can look at the journal, copy the magic link, and properly open slack with it

30KByte/s.. not suitable for OTP encrypting of my traffic!
<gchristensen>
lmao
<andi->
(I had one project where they are stupidly pushing for "true randomness" as OTP)
<andi->
and they over engineered it massively..
<andi->
for no proper gain.
<gchristensen>
O.O

Sending a 4TB disk at the time per month with the new "crypto key"
<andi->
luckily it died quickly.
<gchristensen>
WHAT?
<gchristensen>
lol!
<andi->
Nice big 3 lettet German company known worldwide for great process automation.
<gchristensen>
amazing
<gchristensen>
a shame I couldn't have signed up to receive a 4TB each month
<andi->
I can sell you that.
<gchristensen>
well I was assuming it would be free
<andi->
"True randomness* *(not guaranteed)"
<gchristensen>
"it is truly random, I swear! It just happened to be on a very long streak of zeros"
<andi->
You can book the premium service and it will come on NVMe disks instead.
<gchristensen>
tragically it seems my home array is about 50% full somehow
<gchristensen>
I feel like I just added 3x 10T disks
<andi->
If you subscribe to my (overprised) 4TB NVMe subscription plan you can solve both issues at once!
<andi->
*overpriced
<sphalerite>
andi-: do you have to send the disk back at the end of the month?
<andi->
sphalerite: no, I have an extra package that you can book if you do not trust me with those drives again.
<andi->
The standard package is already at 2.5 * current disk price, the extra package just doubles that.
<andi->
I'll be handcrafting the amazon subscription!
<sphalerite>
hm
<andi->
Don't forget: All combinations come preconfigured with randomness.

To get a sha256 hash of a new source, you can use the Trust On First Use model: use probably-wrong hash (for example: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000), then replace it with the correct hash Nix expected. For inserting 52 0's in vim: <esc>52i0<esc>

Do you people use a tool to make sure some config files have the right perms? Like I just found a file that is readable for everyone. with access keys in it.
<cole-h>
Note that all files in the nix store are readable by the world.
<bbigras>
yes I know. thanks. I meant for files outside the store.
<eyJhb>
How would you ensure that bbigras ?
<eyJhb>
You could make a module where you add the files with the perms, and then have a systemd unit watching them
<bbigras>
I was thinking maybe a tool that builds a database of the file perms. maybe like those intrusion detection tools.
ixxie has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
<eyJhb>
Are you thinking default file perms, such as shadow, motd, sshd, etc.?
<bbigras>
no. but like .env files. for projects. they are not in the nix store. and we want to make sure they are not readable by everyone
<samueldr>
bbigras: tmpfiles.d
<samueldr>
tmp is a misnomer
<eyJhb>
bbigras: but how would it know who owns the .env file?
<bbigras>
I guess intrusion detection tools just whine if the owner or the perms changed.
<bbigras>
samueldr: thanks I'll take a look
<sphalerite>
hm, tmpfiles.d is good for ensuring permissions one-off, but won't detect or alert if the permissions are too open at any point
<samueldr>
yeah, I misunderstood the problem a bit
<eyJhb>
chown -R root:root /
<eyJhb>
Wonder how much would work
<sphalerite>
chmod go-x /
<eyJhb>
Group, other -> no execution bit?
<sphalerite>
yep.
<sphalerite>
Which on a directory means that they can't access anything within it :>
<eyJhb>
I always want user -> owner, and thereby get group, owner
<andi->
I am worried by all the interdependencies on modules
<infinisil>
In my next-gen nixos modules notes I do have a namespacing of modules, which takes care of modules depending on each other
<andi->
If you want to move them out of nixpkgs what happens to basic stuff like users.users? What if that interface changes? Will we run into the polyrepo releasing hell?
<infinisil>
Of course that's not implemented yet, but definitely something I'd want to implement
<gchristensen>
flakes, niv, berkshelf, submodules, copy-paste ... I think a lot of modules have few dependencies actually and while I fully agree the "put it in nixos" model helped grow nixos a lot, it also hurts nixos in some ways: very slow to evaluate now, and low quality modules reflect poorly -- for example the "weechat" module is a bit of a joke
<infinisil>
Oh yes, eval time is also one of the main reasons for my next-gen module redesign :D
* andi-
remembers his WIP weechat module that he wanted to upstream 2y ago
<eyJhb>
Not even sure how useful the Weechat module is
<eyJhb>
NixOS marketplace
<gchristensen>
I think that model helped grow and make nixos what it is today, and also that that model doesn't help grow nixos beyond a certain point of success
<philipp[m]>
gchristensen: The quality of the modules has increased drastically in the last few years though.
<eyJhb>
There is a big con however of that philipp[m]
<eyJhb>
We don't get as many modules, that some might find useful, where we then reinvent the wheel all the time and have no easy way to have a place for "low level, but this works" modules
<andi->
Maybe modules shouldn't be enabled by default but still in nixpkgs. That would address the eval time issue.
<eyJhb>
Which could be useful for many :D But high quality is also needed yeah
<cole-h>
Maybe instead of `modulename1.enable`, we could have `enabledModules = [ "modulename1" "fish" "users" ];` and only load those module? idk, not well-though-out at all
<andi->
what did I start /o\
<gchristensen>
I really don't know how any of this actually helps the situation or helps nixos grow beyond its current capacity
<cole-h>
Just don't eval any modules outside `enabledModules`
<bbigras>
Any way to run a systemd service interactively? I'm trying to renew a ssl cert manually. the service has 3 BindPaths. I would like to avoid having to mount them manually.
<cole-h>
maybe that could be paired with infinisil's namespacing idea to make the modules unambiguous without having to refer to the entire path from nixpkgs
<gchristensen>
the problem is not all evaluation time, but social, too
<infinisil>
andi-: I believe it's possible, and have a plan, to implement a module system that has the same end-user benefits, but whose speed doesn't depend on the number of modules
<andi->
infinisil: nice!
<andi->
infinisil: I recently did some benchmarking and we went from about 2.5s to eval the "simple" nixos test to 3s since April.
<{^_^}>
#57477 (by Infinisil, 1 year ago, open): `nixos-rebuild --switch` too slow, tracking issue
<gchristensen>
it would be nice to have, say, Hashicorp maintain an official Vault service, or Elastic maintain an official ElasticSearch service but today that is basically a handshake deal to other developers in the community not mucking with their expressions
<philipp[m]>
bbigras: Enable the service but don't let it depend on multi-user.target.
<philipp[m]>
*let multi-user.target depend on it.
<samueldr>
with the form factor, I fear RISC-V will "fail just like ARM", in that people will see them as toys or embedded devices
<andi->
gchristensen: I can only see that happen if we move all the things into containers that only have a single script as entry point. An external module might otherwise depend on too much unknown config options.
<gchristensen>
yeah, I think there'd be good inroads to be made there, too, for a lot of the services we have
<andi->
samueldr: wasn't there an ITX sized one recently?
<gchristensen>
not containers exactly
<samueldr>
yeah, but you can make a Raspberry Pi zero ITX sized
<samueldr>
(I don't remember seeing details on its actual perfs)
<bbigras>
philipp: the service will ask me to hit the "enter" key. Will it work?
<andi->
gchristensen: maybe if they emit a systemd unit file that might be okay and another JSONish file to do the "install"
<andi->
but then you still share the user namespace which might be different.
<andi->
samueldr: I only remember seeing a bunch of FPGA powered RISCV boards which are a huge no no for me... I can do that already without calling it a RISCV FPGA.
<andi->
It also lacks any kind of decent storage.
<andi->
no NVMe, no eMMC, …
<samueldr>
ugh
<andi->
I wouldn't even want to build a build farm with them or run anything that is critical on there.
<samueldr>
I see it's a raspberry pi "killer"
<samueldr>
same issues ;)
<andi->
just wait for the closed source bootloader
<samueldr>
yeah, I don't know what that will look like
<samueldr>
hopefully it's just u-boot
<infinisil>
Hmm I wonder how Spectre is going
<andi->
I filled out the early access form ealier today and stated exactly that as expected features.
<cole-h>
The update is: qyliss is taking a break for a little while to combat burnout (but, apparently, is almost ready to come back).
<andi->
I want proper storage & proper bootchain
<andi->
with proper docs.
<samueldr>
yeah
<samueldr>
oh, and it's sifive
<andi->
not some "just like always"
<philipp[m]>
bbigras: I don't think that stdin of the service gets connected to the active terminal in any way.
<bbigras>
philipp: yeah. thanks anyway :)
<samueldr>
I reaaaaally fear RISC-V will have been destroyed by its openness of design, and that somehow one vendor will shoehorn *its* instructions into the popular ISA
<andi->
samueldr: what I fear more than u-boot is that we will never see big hardware to plug into hydra for RISC-V.
<samueldr>
IIRC it's fine for a RISC-V design to add custom instructions[citation needed]
<samueldr>
oh, that too
<andi->
There might be a few expensive boards but nothing you would want or could run in large scale.
<samueldr>
but fear not, the hard drives probably run RISC-V already if they're quite new
<samueldr>
IIRC WD is an early adopter and user of RISC_V
<andi->
yeah and probably better specced than that SBC? :D
<samueldr>
I wouldn't think so really
<samueldr>
probably the bare minimum to run the firmware they want
<andi->
Maybe, I remember the ARM cores to be not that bad.
<andi->
Like 8 core ARM with 4G of RAM or something on some HDD
<samueldr>
oh, then maybe
<samueldr>
I assumed they were like those M0 or similar lower specced cores
<andi->
but maybe they just put the complicated stuff in hardware now
