@civodul Cool!
Semi-unrelated link, but it can't hurt to be on your radar :) Part of the nix community moved to a taylored buildbot setup: https://github.com/nix-community/buildbot-nix
As a user, I find it pretty nice. (I did not looked too much at the implementation yet) -

@civodul It's integrated with forgejo as well.
Usage example: https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core/commit/b8bb1bf478a59cac5e655cfb990ac092a048cea1 -

@civodul Is this part of some effort to move to a forge-based system for Guix? Or is it completely unrelated? -

@octorine @PuercoPop @civodul That's correct. It looks like this in practice: https://github.com/NinjaTrappeur/nixpkgs/blob/23586a2787da6d0b91c2abd8f3c6cc7bfa70d950/pkgs/tools/admin/coldsnap/default.nix#L18
But again, it's a tradeoff. You're giving cargo full control of part of the build graph and become partially blind to the dependencies. -

@civodul As for nixpkgs-review, the heavy lifting is currently done by ofborg, the soon to be discontinued PR CI. (ie. the component evaluating and building the PRs, but not populating the cache/building the channels).
For each PR, ofborg evaluates Nixpkgs and checks the changed paths. It then creates a gist listing the updated packages (for instance https://gist.github.com/GrahamcOfBorg/b65fc0e8791f16ae1a0be898a9b2779d). Nixpkgs-review retrieves this file for the PR we want to review (https://github.com/Mic92/nixpkgs-review/blob/907925df227584ae4c0eb38db51fd23fe495d276/nixpkgs_review/github.py#L89) and locally evaluates/builds the changed packages.
There's also an option to inhibit this behaviour and evaluate everything locally, without using ofborg https://github.com/Mic92/nixpkgs-review/blob/907925df227584ae4c0eb38db51fd23fe495d276/nixpkgs_review/cli/__init__.py#L41.
But in practice, it requires a quite beefy machine to be usable. I personally don't do that on my computers. -

@civodul all of the above plus the adoption of FOD-based dependencies fetchers for the Rust and Go toolchains. (wrote this in the survey a few days ago, I sound like a broken record!)
It's definitely a tradeoff, patching a Rust or Go library for the whole packageset is definitly not an option for Nixpkgs. At least not a realistic one at the moment. But that's a tradeoff I personally think makes sense. The very little experience of packaging a not so complicated Rust package on Guix has been horrendeous. The importer is brittle, it generates a lot of code that you have to manually massage into the tree. All this is unecessary busywork in my opinion.
This plus my very limited experience with email-based workflows has been the real show-stopper for me during my latest attempt to use Guix more.
--------------------------------
I also feel like we need a Guix counterpart of nixpkgs-review for reviewers. This is a really important tool for me, and last time I checked (granted a few months ago), there were no credible option in the Guix land.

@clacke Thanks, I missed that link!
Due to ignorance, I can't generalize this statement. But at least in France, views wrt. homophobia and islamophopia vary widely between the metropolitan areas and some rural areas. I'm affraid they took a quite biaised sample by recruiting the subjects in Paris (largest city of the country). -

@clacke Wow, the full study also has some pretty surprising figures wrt. public attitudes towards Muslims:
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2018/10/29/eastern-and-western-europeans-differ-on-importance-of-religion-views-of-minorities-and-key-social-issues/
They're pretty evasive wrt. how they gathered these statistics, though. I would probably take that with a grain of salt. -

@clacke Woah, I did not expect such a low figure for France.
Also, WTF Greece, ~90%, that's nuts! :D -

New Pleroma release.
If you're running Pleroma on NixOS, I could use your review: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/264950 -

@clacke @Ninjatrappeur Technical. I liked the social one. Aside from some very local-specific stuff, it was mostly drama-free. -

#introduction #reintroduction
Hi all, I'm Félix, aka. PicNoir. I used to be @Ninjatrappeur for the last few years. Just migrated to this new account, I guess it's time to write a new introduction!
Computer-wise, I'm mostly interested in #NixOS, #Guix #C, and #Rust these days. Internet is very dear to me, this is the main reason I'm living comfortably and not spend my days breaking my body doing labour work. I'm active in some small French associative ISPs. I'm pretty proficient with #Haskell, but I do not contribute much to the ecosystem anymore and don't use it at work anymore. Still love the language though :) Not so much the ecosystem.
I'm earning money through freelancing, mostly doing #NixOS-related work, general ops and system programming.
I'm very concerned by climate change and feel like I'm useless mitigating it. Doing my best though.
Aside from computers, I live in a small village in the French Pyrénées (the mountains separating France and Spain). I love riding my bicycle and watching birds here.
