good *moment of the day*, I'd really like to have this PR reviewed for inclusion in 18.03 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/33686 (if I should instead continue on #nixos, do tell me)
<samueldr>
in particular, I'm looking for comments, discussion, queries, etc.

aww booo systemd-boot not supporting it, my first thought was "I can't wait for my laptop boot screen to look like that!!" :(
<samueldr>
you can if you switch to grub ;) though I know it's not everyone's cup of tea
<dtz>
..so pretty....
<samueldr>
I'm a bootloader agnostic, if such a thing could exist
<samueldr>
as long as it boots, allows selecting and editing boot options, no strong feelings
<gchristensen>
samueldr: looking hot!
<samueldr>
oh, forgot to add, if anyone has a hidpi screen, I'd like confirmation that the video mode thing helps

shlevy: why? I really don't want the nix repo to turn into nixpkgs where a hundred people have commit access and are making random changes...
<adisbladis>
niksnut: I was assuming that meant nixpkgs commit bit and not nix commit bit :)

niksnut: Because he's made a number of reasonable, quality contributions including bug fixes that don't really need heavy review, and probably knows enough now to help review other work. Commit bit doesn't mean you can just make random changes, I've had nix commit rights for years and still do major changes through PR...
<gchristensen>
niksnut: what do you have Hydra's GC_MAX_HEAP_SIZE set to? I don't see it in any of the github repos
<gchristensen>
oh you leave it at the default and set GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE to 4G
<gchristensen>
"GC_DONT_GC - Turns off garbage collection. Use cautiously." now we're cooking with gas
<domenkozar>
oh nice, I have to try that and see
<domenkozar>
how much GC really saves on big nixops stuff
<gchristensen>
I'm bumping the initial heap size to 4g on ofborg, it seems master doesn't evaluate anymore with 384MiB (we may want to change the automatic limiter applied by Nix, to be 25% of RAM or a max of <<something more than 384MiB :)>> https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/libexpr/eval.cc#L207 memory availability has changed some since 2011 when it was first introduced:
<niksnut>
shlevy: btw, didn't you want a feature freeze? :-p
<shlevy>
niksnut: Yeah, but that hasn't been decided yet has it? I'd assume there'd be discussion of what gets included first
<shlevy>
Anyway, if we need to defer this to 2.1 fine, but I'll note that more extensibility will make it less likely that people will need to run pre-releases in the future ;)
<shlevy>
If we're already in feature freeze we should probably branch off 2.x so we can develop new features against master

I have a +1 byte diff for the first person who wants to merge it: https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/535/files which I think pretty much means domenkozar or niksnut :P
<gchristensen>
guaranteed to probably not cause headaches
* gchristensen
waits for the revert, because adding a `o` to some text caused something to break :P

by my measure contrapumpkin we're too small. when there are lots of PRs, my office heats up (one of the evaluators is in my office) and it is too cold in here
<gchristensen>
see also why I want to build a lot more stuff
