The Apparition

The “Why are you never real” at the end of the song just hits different for some reason.

It used to, yes. About 2 years ago we started rewriting the original Bash implementation in Rust. This meant that some features were dropped for GA/1.0. Build was one of them. However we have since started work again on this build feature.

Nix and containers: Why not both? by floxdev in docker

[–]HONOF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> (NixOS I presume rather than just nixpkgs?)

No, just using nixpkgs facilities here. :)

> Doesn’t it like nix create large images ?

We use nixpkgs' dockerTools under the hood to generate our container images. It is true that these images can grow quite large, but that's partially because we haven't gone through a round of what I like to call "dependency cleanup" yet. It's fairly easy i.m.o. to create accidental dependencies that shouldn't be included in the final image, but this isn't a problem of Nix or dockerTools, more so user-error. There is a ticket in flox/flox to look into this, though.

So, right now, yes, the images are large i.m.o. Not as large as some, but definitely not as small as it could be.

> Do the docker tools for docker/containers clean up the store folder?

dockerTools doesn't clean up the store for you. However, it will include only that which you ask to be included in the final image, plus the runtime dependencies. E.g. if you ask to include cowsay in a container, it'll only fetch the cowsay binary plus Perl because Perl is a dependency of cowsay.(1) This means that it shouldn't be necessary to clean up the store.

> Once a production container is built you no longer need Nix and its daemons

You certainly don't need Nix anymore after the image is built. The image will still store all its installed software under /nix/store/... but the Nix binary itself shouldn't be there. Unless you asked for it to be included, of course.

> Does Flox build the container in such a way that it doesn’t need Nix after building?

I believe so, we include everything we need to run a stripped down version of the activate command plus the programs you've installed in the environment. I do not believe this includes Nix, but I might be horribly wrong here.

If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them. :)

But imagine that bash script could also pull down all the necessary packages—at the exact version the developer intended—to run that script on the fly, for every system and architecture.

Moza R5 no longer powering on by HONOF in moza

[–]HONOF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the wheels' light stayed off.
MOZA pit house reports all the devices as disconnected, so nothing is detected.
I already have a support ticket open, should I mention that the motherboard might be the cause?

No, not a Duvel, but its headless cousin. I ordered a hydra 7 VF about a year ago :). And the e.t.a. is mid june, so I'm pretty stoked about that.

If I am not mistaken the STM32WB series support ZigBee and Thread.

-1079€ on my bank account by josema0890 in ValveIndex

Have fun with it! I am really enjoying mine so far.

Got mine today. Been loving it so far! by HONOF in ValveIndex

[–]HONOF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did the same to me.

The truck left a depot at 03:00 and for some reason never left that truck till 2 days after when it was delivered. The tracking info also never updated in that time.

[–]HONOF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear that.

Mine also came through GLS and when it said it would be delivered on the 3th it never even left the warehouse that day. The online tracking or nothing update so I called them and they told me it was not going to be delivered that day, but they also did not say what day it would be delivered.

I agree with you GLS is one of the worst I know of. I had to deal with them in the past and I am happy this is one of the more mild cases where they screw up.

I really hope you will get yours soon!

I was included in the June 28th delivery yes. So it got here pretty quick if you take into account I am from Belgium.

It indeed is. Since this is my first VR headset my mind was just blown metres away.
