[tantek] just--
#
Loqi just has -1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] (It literally adds no value to that sentence and subtracts value by increasing the sense of beginner stress)

#
[20_s_Net] Invested not invented lol
#
capjamesg Nice!
#
[20_s_Net] Yeah it was suggested on the website http://hackr.io which as far as I know it's fairly well known
#
[20_s_Net] It seemed to suggest it had download links in the book to actually look closer at the code as well

#
[tantek] [snarfed] heads-up, looks like a few folks outside of Threads employees may be getting the option to federate out soon! https://www.threads.net/@alex193a/post/C26IL_kolqn/
#
[snarfed] yes! for some definition of soon. months maybe? https://www.threads.net/@mattnavarra/post/C22XM94ouzA/
#
[tantek] Ah got it. Couple of months is fine. Also sounds like underpromise and overdeliver

starrwulfe heloooooo
#
starrwulfe semi related/unrelated question: anyone here ever set up a develop environment using Nix before?
sivoais joined the channel
#
[tantek] what is Nix?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Nix" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Nix is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] nope, doesn't look like it
#
starrwulfe @snarfed: WOW, Hatenablog is still doing strange things like that? I used them a few times when I was still in Japan over the years.
#
starrwulfe Nix is a cross-platform package manager and a language that specializes in building packages and specializing in reproduceable builds.
#
Loqi ok
#
starrwulfe @tantek: I mess with it from time to time-- just wanted to see if there were any others using it in their indieweb dev toolkits.
#
[tantek] starrwulfe, good to know! if you're using it for (building) any features on your website, please note that on the page also!
#
[tantek] like in an "IndieWeb Examples" section
#
starrwulfe OK! I'm trying to set it up now so I can make an ad-hoc GoLang environment to start building my own blogging platform. (at least I'm gonna try... I hope it works!)
#
[tantek] that works!
#
[tantek] Nix << Brainstorming: {{starrwulfe}} is setting up Nix to make an ad-hoc [[GoLang]] environment to start building a [[blogging]] platform
#
Loqi ok, I added "Brainstorming: {{starrwulfe}} is setting up Nix to make an ad-hoc [[GoLang]] environment to start building a [[blogging]] platform" to a brand new "See Also" section of /Nix https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=92873&oldid=92872
