Consider it noted.
<

Btw seems like nix.wiki is already taken
<
ixxie>
I can change that anyway
<
samueldr>
timezones suck

I noticed in the linux-mips wiki that NixOS is listed because we support the fuloong mini pc
<
makefu>
do we support mips? i never knew :D
<
zarel>
problem is that they still have the reference to the old wiki to a page called "Multiplatform NixOS#Fuloong_Mini-PC"
<
makefu>
we can fix this, it is a wiki no?
<
zarel>
I think it needs to sign-up. problem is that we don't have that page or any reference to this board in the new wiki
<
zarel>
I didn't check in the wayback machine but it looks like it was removed before the wiki content has been migrated
<
samueldr>
I really need to setup another mediawiki instance to importe the whold wiki dump
<
samueldr>
(to check page histories)
<
makefu>
zarel: worst case is that we remove the reference. because afair there is currently no support for mips
<
samueldr>
I wonder how much of the mips port still works
<
samueldr>
the instructions, at a glance, seems identical from the 2012 snapshot
<
makefu>
yes, but for example platforms.sheevaplug is not in the current upstream platforms
<
makefu>
well there is lib.platforms.mips i guess
<
zarel>
there is still a derivation for the installer
<
zarel>
the tarball download link points to a personal server of viric, maybe we should ask him directly?
<
makefu>
great idea
<
makefu>
if this still works i suggest we create a page "nixos on mips"
<
samueldr>
last update, as per the wiki dump, was in april 2013
<
makefu>
as long as none of the information is actually tested i'd rather not copy-paste this in the new wiki
<
samueldr>
I too, wouldn't add anything untested to the wiki
<
zarel>
makefu, samueldr: I agree that it is outdated information. I assume that none of us has a Fuloong to test, too
<
samueldr>
nothing close to mipsy to test
<
samueldr>
well, a PS2, but I'm pretty sure there's no easy way to get nixos working on it...
<
samueldr>
pretty sure there's nothing in the mainline kernel for it, from the ps2 linux era
<
zarel>
oh I wish to replace openwrt with nixos on my router :) clearly mips based one
<
zarel>
I'm going to drop an email to viric about the fuloong, at least to know if he's still using it
<
zarel>
is it ok for you?
<
makefu>
zarel: yes sure, go ahead :)

sup makefu?
<

i wanted to test out the wifi on the raspi3
<
ixxie>
I'm trying to tweak the Nix Ecosystem logos
<
makefu>
not sure if the logo needs tilting, changing the fonts and colors is pretty nice
<
ixxie>
yeah gchristiansen was of the same opinion
<
makefu>
i think most functional developers like symmetry
<
ixxie>
yeah well part of the idea was to appeal to OTHER people than functional developers xD
<
samueldr>
looks good
<
ixxie>
(you may need to scroll up to see the highlighted line)
<
ixxie>
makefu: gchristiansen also complained about the tilt
<
samueldr>
the font looks great with those words, hard to read for text body
<
ixxie>
samueldr: is it okay for the logo though right?
<
ixxie>
what do you think about the tilt?
<
samueldr>
no opinion really
<
ixxie>
it looks like it will tick off many people xD
<
ixxie>
im already working on a version without it
<
samueldr>
though, when used as an icon, pretty sure we'll have to straighten it out
<
samueldr>
you should add to the png some bounding boxes with the snowflake
<
samueldr>
one for 16×16 for favicons, then some common sizes up from there
<
samueldr>
ideally, tweaked versions of the logo would be used at excessively small resolutions
<
ixxie>
what do you guys think about renaming the nixos.wiki to nix.wiki?
<
ixxie>
I donno if it makes sense really but it has some advantages
<
samueldr>
biggest issue is getting the domain name
<
ixxie>
its owned by a photographer it seems
<
ixxie>
although maybe thats a front or something
<
ixxie>
at this point I just wanna know if its ever desirable
<
samueldr>
generally, short domain names, with possibly generic uses, are bought to be resold at a higher markup later on
<
makefu>
i am fine with nixos.wiki as it matches the upstream domain nixos.org
<
ixxie>
yeah that is my biggest gripe with changing it
<
samueldr>
in some way, owning both would be better, with proper redirection
<
makefu>
samueldr: also owning other tlds would help the project. i highly recommend not trying out other tlds for 'nixos'
<
ixxie>
I am just trying to figure out how to make the typography for the NixOS Wiki logo look good
<
samueldr>
oh, sure, squatters ahoy is certain
<
samueldr>
oh, not even squatting
<
samueldr>
or squatting, but not that kind
<
makefu>
yes "not that kind"
<
ixxie>
samueldr: check out the latest version
<
ixxie>
in particular how the NixOS Wiki logo is
<
ixxie>
I made two versions now; with a tilt and without
<
ixxie>
samueldr: have you considered using a single pair of brackets?
