Anyone familiar with Nix on darwin? Why don't I have the NIX_PATH environment variable?

Well darn. systemd-fstab-generator does a dumb thing with x-systemd.makefs. It causes the mount unit to have a requires dependency on systemd-makefs@dev-foo.service, meaning it forces the fs to unmount when that service is stopped. Pretty sure this doesn't matter in normal operation, but it means that using it in initrd will unmount your root fs before it attempts to switch-root.
<elvishjerricco>
Apparently systemd expects / and /usr to be all that's needed to boot, so it has special code in systemd-fstab-generator for those that doesn't do that.
<elvishjerricco>
er, wait, no that isn't what happens. wut.
<elvishjerricco>
i mean the requires thing is there, but the special / and /usr code still seem to trigger it if I'm reading this right. Can you just not use x-systemd.makefs on / and /usr?
<elvishjerricco>
(or any early boot mounts)

Ok, got it. Patched systemd so it doesn't set RemainAfterExit on the makefs service. Now isolate initrd-switch-root.service doesn't stop that service, so the mount stays up.

is there any tooling for backporting changes?
<ScottHDev>
I would simply use git rebase -i
<chvp>
cherry-picking is simpler for that case, no?

Hi everyone! Is the project (still?) looking for public repo mirrors? I am upgrading hardware (2 Gbit/s, Amsterdam, NL) and have some space avialable for additional distros.

easylee: i believe cache.nixos.org sits at a reassuring 200TiB as of somewhere last year, i think you'll have to define "some space" more narrowly :p
<abathur>
nix#4690 (3 word diff!) could use a look from someone with a handle on sudo security policy. It basically rewrites a few uses of `sudo HOME=ROOT_HOME command` -> `sudo env HOME=ROOT_HOME command` in the installer to support `doas` as a sudo replacement. I'm wondering if `env` is more likely to be blocked than changing HOME already would be?
<gchristensen>
abathur: I think that looks okay to me
<gchristensen>
my feeling is that aliasing sudo to doas is asking for, well, this
<easylee>
Ah damn edef that is a little optimistic haha
<easylee>
So there are no smaller portions that need mirroring?
<gchristensen>
easylee: we actually don't use mirrors today: we store the cache in S3 and it is served by Fastly. there has been chatter about setting up alternative mirrors, but I don't think any of them got off the ground.
<easylee>
Ok, check.
<gchristensen>
thank you for considering us, though!

Sure, no problem. Keep up the good work!
<eyJhb>
How old is the oldest file in the cache?
<samueldr>
old
<samueldr>
as an additional insight, if one were to mirror only the NixOS iso, it still requires arbitrary updates that happen whenever the channels advance, which is AFAIK quite different from many (most?) distros who update their isos only when they feel it needs to be
<samueldr>
also why you won't really see a NixOS torrent
<easylee>
I currently mirror rolling distros like Arch, Manjaro, openSUSE (Tumbleweed) and the likes. NixOS got my attention because of that.
<supersandro2000>
most distros do an iso when they have a release
<easylee>
But 200TB is a no-go hah.

You most surely can have quite a bit of pruning of old stuff
