07:59 <flokli> mdlayher: awesome :-)

08:18 <flokli> mdlayher: so what's the basic idea? you want to only use modemmanager and set up the connection by yourself? Or you still want to let networkmanager take care of connection setup, but want to read things like https://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/api/latest/gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem.Signal.html

13:10 <mdlayher> flokli: exactly, I'll let MM manage the device lifecycle and just pull stats from it because it has well defined APIs for doing so

13:48 <flokli> Sounds good :-)

14:41 <mdlayher> D-Bus is a bit of a trip with all of its concepts and OOP-like naming conventions, but I managed to get something workable going! Just trying to figure out how much of the API I need to implement to build a workable exporter

15:28 <flokli> mdlayher: there are client libraries that should make this easy enough

15:28 <mdlayher> i am using one and have managed to abstract it away enough where it is less of a pain to test.

18:41 <mdlayher> flokli: just pushed! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/93291
