| 2021-03-18 11:41:23 +0100 | <mc47[m]> | oh wait, you wanted a keybinding |
| 2021-03-18 11:42:16 +0100 | <mc47[m]> | I shouldn't open IRC before drinking my morning coffee.. |

| 2021-03-18 12:41:03 +0100 | <mc47[m]> | and you also need |

| 2021-03-18 12:42:32 +0100 | <deebo> | i'll try that, thanks |
| 2021-03-18 12:43:14 +0100 | <mc47> | it places it almost at the center, because that doesn't take the status bars you have into consideration |
| 2021-03-18 12:54:17 +0100 | <mc47> | What modules need better documentation, in your opinion? I want to open an issue collecting all of them in one place |
| 2021-03-18 12:54:42 +0100 | <mc47> | That's something a lot of users can contribute to, without having to be necessarily familiar with Haskell |
| 2021-03-18 12:55:25 +0100 | <mc47> | Also, it would be nice to add screenshots to the layouts. The question is, where should we host the pictures? |
| 2021-03-18 12:59:12 +0100 | xaltsc | (~xaltsc@unaffiliated/xaltsc) |
| 2021-03-18 13:04:18 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | no idea about specific modules, I'd say a good tutorial about installation and basic stuff and status bars would go a long way |
| 2021-03-18 13:04:52 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | although as I said yesterday, I'm somewhat hoping that making the installation easier is better than writing docs for the current approach :-) |
| 2021-03-18 13:06:07 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | screenshots for layouts - +1, hosted either by github (they recently added it to the editor so you can just hit edit on a file and drag images) or maybe in the same place where Solid'd tutorial is going to be, or just the website repo |
| 2021-03-18 13:06:41 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I'd tend to think that xmonad may become irrelevant sooner than github stops hosting those attachments, but we never know |
| 2021-03-18 13:11:35 +0100 | geekosaur | (82650c7a@130.101.12.122) |
| 2021-03-18 13:25:37 +0100 | <mc47> | I have no idea about the installation, as cabal is still somewhat of a mystery to me.. but I agree that it should be simpler |
| 2021-03-18 13:25:50 +0100 | <mc47> | Yeah, github should be enough for hosting |
| 2021-03-18 13:26:34 +0100 | <geekosaur> | cabal isn't that simple, sadly. |
| 2021-03-18 13:26:53 +0100 | <geekosaur> | currently it requires a cabal file and cabal.project file. |
| 2021-03-18 13:27:28 +0100 | <geekosaur> | there's also hacky "global install" but that causes future problems especially if you have any dependencies |
| 2021-03-18 13:28:08 +0100 | <geekosaur> | basically new cabal breaks our workflow… but old cabal meant we potentially broke everyone else's (see "cabal hell") |
| 2021-03-18 13:29:45 +0100 | <mc47> | I gave up on cabal and only use stack now |
| 2021-03-18 13:30:32 +0100 | <geekosaur> | so you traded a cabal.project for a stack.yaml. I don't see much of a difference there |
| 2021-03-18 13:46:43 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | so, um, does cabal tell ghc about paths to packages in a way that prevents something like "stack exec ghc" from existing? |
| 2021-03-18 13:47:16 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I'm fairly certain that we can get the self-recompilation work with stack-installed xmonad |
| 2021-03-18 13:47:40 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I'm probably just going to look into it sooner or later, and deal with cabal as well |
| 2021-03-18 13:47:45 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | it can't be that hard, can it? |
| 2021-03-18 13:48:20 +0100 | <geekosaur> | cabal exec works much the same way stack exec does |
| 2021-03-18 13:48:35 +0100 | <geekosaur> | and I had an alternate workflow working but I think cabal 3.4 broke it |
| 2021-03-18 13:49:27 +0100 | <geekosaur> | there's still the question of how it finds the packages it needs, I think stack exec exposes only the resolver (which cabal has no equivalent of, so it doesn't) |
| 2021-03-18 13:50:05 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | stack exec definitely exposes all packages that would be in scope during stack build |
| 2021-03-18 13:50:15 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | otherwise my setup wouldn't work, and it's worked for many years |
| 2021-03-18 13:50:49 +0100 | xaltsc | (~xaltsc@unaffiliated/xaltsc) (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) |
| 2021-03-18 13:51:12 +0100 | <geekosaur> | so you have a stack.yaml specifying packages? I don't think stack will otherwise expose anything, since the point of its existence is to not expose anything not used |
| 2021-03-18 13:51:34 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (but stack exec without a stack.yaml uses the global resolver and nothing else, I think) |
| 2021-03-18 13:51:53 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | https://github.com/liskin/dotfiles/blob/home/src-haskell/stack.yaml |
| 2021-03-18 13:52:13 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | resolver + packages that are all local git submodules |
| 2021-03-18 13:52:24 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | and then when I do stack exec, all of that is in scope |
| 2021-03-18 13:52:56 +0100 | <geekosaur> | right, the problem is that cabal has nothing equivalent to a resolver |
| 2021-03-18 13:53:21 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I don't really care about the resolver |
| 2021-03-18 13:53:24 +0100 | <geekosaur> | the rest of stack.yaml is covered by cabal.project, but packages in scope come from the cabal file |
| 2021-03-18 13:53:37 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you implicitly do care about it because it's why stack works here |
| 2021-03-18 13:53:37 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I just want to capture whatever was the environment during building of xmonad |
| 2021-03-18 13:53:44 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | and use that same environment to compile xmonad.hs |
| 2021-03-18 13:56:16 +0100 | <geekosaur> | https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/199 is about as close as you're getting to that but note that the same -package-env has to be specified to both the xmonad/xmonad-contrib and xmonad.hs builds |
| 2021-03-18 13:56:43 +0100 | <geekosaur> | no, ghc doesn't have this built in as such (well, it has environment files but they cause more problems than they solve) |
| 2021-03-18 13:58:46 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/199#issuecomment-609433196 is indeed pretty much what I'd like to do, yeah |
| 2021-03-18 13:58:55 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | (the end of it) |
| 2021-03-18 13:59:24 +0100 | <geekosaur> | in fact that uses environment files, it just doesn't use default environment files which tend to pollute other builds unexpectedly |
| 2021-03-18 14:00:21 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | well, if I understand it correctly, we can just put "install xmonad using `cabal install -z --lib --package-env=$HOME/.xmonad/ xmonad xmonad-contrib` and everything will just work" to our homepage |
| 2021-03-18 14:00:36 +0100 | <geekosaur> | hopefully |
| 2021-03-18 14:00:50 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | maybe it's not perfect, but it sounds like quote quite an improvement from what we have now |
| 2021-03-18 14:00:59 +0100 | <geekosaur> | and until they decide to remove anything resembling v1 workflow :/ |
| 2021-03-18 14:01:00 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | s/quote // |
| 2021-03-18 14:01:17 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | oh, this uses the v1 stuff? |
| 2021-03-18 14:01:33 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it's pretending to be v1 |
| 2021-03-18 14:01:47 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | good enough I guess :-) |
| 2021-03-18 14:01:47 +0100 | <geekosaur> | that's more or less what environment files do |
| 2021-03-18 14:02:33 +0100 | <coldpress> | I find stack easier than cabal; at least upgrading with stack is easy |
| 2021-03-18 14:03:18 +0100 | <geekosaur> | cabal's not a problem once it's set up, although you need 3 files (at least if you want a local checkout of git xmonad/contrib) |
| 2021-03-18 14:03:49 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | coldpress: do you have a build script then? |
| 2021-03-18 14:04:16 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I've already upgraded xmonad-contrib once since setting this up and it Just Worked (pull, then mod-q) |

| 2021-03-18 14:20:41 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | anyway, I think capturing GHC_ENVIRONMENT and GHC_PACKAGE_PATH during build (TH?) and using that when recompiling might just work; we'll just need to be somewhat careful to not do that when building distro packages |
| 2021-03-18 14:21:06 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | there's some potential for breakage but I feel this can make the installation easier for a lot of users |

| 2021-03-18 17:18:30 +0100 | <geekosaur> | when you ask if xscreensaver is still relevant, do you mean the program or the Xss extension that used to be optional in the X11 package? |
| 2021-03-18 17:18:49 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (X11 no longer has optional dependencies, they all have to be provided now) |
| 2021-03-18 17:19:01 +0100 | geekosaur | is still catching up… |
| 2021-03-18 17:19:45 +0100 | <Solid> | I mean the program |
| 2021-03-18 17:20:15 +0100 | <Solid> | as in, do people still use it? I never did but then again I never used a tray either and the seem to be quite common |
| 2021-03-18 17:20:27 +0100 | <Solid> | s/the/they/ |
| 2021-03-18 17:22:01 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I used to but haven't bothered setting it up on my current system. I have no idea what the norm is |
| 2021-03-18 17:22:57 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I think a lot of people will use things like slock, or if they're using xmonad with a DE they'll use the DE's locker |
| 2021-03-18 17:23:43 +0100 | <geekosaur> | that said, if you're into eye candy then xscreensaver is eye candy: the screensaver |
| 2021-03-18 17:23:49 +0100 | <Solid> | :D |
| 2021-03-18 17:24:27 +0100 | <Solid> | I do use slock myself but I was wary of imposing my preferences onto the tutorial (not that I was particularly successful with that, though) |
| 2021-03-18 17:26:12 +0100 | <geekosaur> | nothing wrong with providing multiple examples |
| 2021-03-18 17:26:22 +0100 | <fizzie> | (`xss-lock -l -- xsecurelock` is my norm, but I think that's probably in the minority.) |
| 2021-03-18 17:31:05 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I have no idea how slock works internally but most linux screensavers have a history of unlocking themselves whenever you let your kids/cat near the computer, so I'd vote for xsecurelock if we want to recommend anything particular |
| 2021-03-18 17:31:42 +0100 | <Solid> | It's really just used as a way to introduce keybindings and the like |
| 2021-03-18 17:31:48 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | jwz is very vocal about xscreensaver being better than the others, but I'm somewhat convinced it's not |
| 2021-03-18 17:31:57 +0100 | <Solid> | so we can also just drop it in favour of another commonly used application |
| 2021-03-18 17:34:12 +0100 | <Solid> | Liskni_si: slock itself is like 500 lines, so probably very auditable; though I don't think anyone has done that yet |
| 2021-03-18 17:34:56 +0100 | <geekosaur> | slock's had some pretty infamous failures already |
| 2021-03-18 17:35:04 +0100 | <Solid> | hah, nice |
| 2021-03-18 17:35:17 +0100 | <geekosaur> | like, it used to give up and pretend to lock if anything had an active grab when it was run |
| 2021-03-18 17:36:41 +0100 | <geekosaur> | also xscreensaver should be pretty auditable, since the saver modules are all external programs run by a small core |
| 2021-03-18 17:38:31 +0100 | <geekosaur> | whether it's "better" than the others is open to question, but it's reasonably battle-tested and jwz generally knows his stuff |
| 2021-03-18 17:39:02 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | auditable is great in theory but history tells us that running the password entry in the main locker process will sooner or later lead to someone managing to crash it |
| 2021-03-18 17:39:07 +0100 | <geekosaur> | as for unlocking when you let kids/cat near your computer, how much of that is self-inflicted? I see too many people who use lousy passwords "because they get in the way" |
| 2021-03-18 17:39:36 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I'm fairly certain my faulty keyboard didn't type my password |
| 2021-03-18 17:39:45 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | it just crashed the xscreensaver password entry |
| 2021-03-18 17:40:44 +0100 | <geekosaur> | wow. jwz should know better than that |
| 2021-03-18 17:40:58 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | it could be a dep or something |
| 2021-03-18 17:41:26 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I never got to actually trying to reproduce it, as the lenovo technician took the faulty hardware away |
| 2021-03-18 17:41:45 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | so I'd have to spin up a VM a try all sorts of stuff and hope I stumble upon something |

| 2021-03-18 19:03:07 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | seems like a good fit for xmonad? |
| 2021-03-18 19:04:07 +0100 | <Solid> | people probably do |
| 2021-03-18 19:04:12 +0100 | <Solid> | nix is quite popular with haskell people |
| 2021-03-18 19:04:26 +0100 | <Solid> | I have a machine that I play around with that has nix on it, though my heart still lies with void |

| 2021-03-18 19:05:37 +0100 | <Solid> | small world :) |
| 2021-03-18 19:07:44 +0100 | <mc47> | everythingTaken tbh I haven't had time to play around with my setup much, it was a miracle that it worked |
| 2021-03-18 19:07:46 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | wow, very comprehensive, can I read it in text format instead of git commit before it's merged? |
| 2021-03-18 19:07:48 +0100 | <mc47> | I'll probably give it a go |
| 2021-03-18 19:08:06 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | mc47: mine worked too except one thing: firefox |
| 2021-03-18 19:08:25 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | there's an issue opened in nixpkgs back in dec 2020 still open |
| 2021-03-18 19:08:35 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | it freezes momentariliy |
| 2021-03-18 19:08:37 +0100 | <mc47> | everythingTaken here's the formatted tutorial https://github.com/slotThe/xmonad/blob/new-tutorial/tutorial.md |
| 2021-03-18 19:09:28 +0100 | <Solid> | mc47: the modules not linking is very strange indeed |
| 2021-03-18 19:09:40 +0100 | <Solid> | pandoc can do it, so it has to be how github interprets the document |
| 2021-03-18 19:09:46 +0100 | <Solid> | :/ |
| 2021-03-18 19:10:35 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | mc47: Solid I am by no means complete beginner with XMonad, but this is really nice! But what I liked about it, it explains what $ and other things are, which before I simply copy pasted from someone elses config |
| 2021-03-18 19:10:52 +0100 | <geekosaur> | size limit on []? |
| 2021-03-18 19:11:20 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | Solid: do you happen to have firefox on your nixos machine? |
| 2021-03-18 19:11:46 +0100 | <Solid> | everythingTaken: I do yes |
| 2021-03-18 19:15:28 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | Solid: so, I installed nixos, it's glorious. I mean configuration.nix + home manager all I need for setup. Some abstract magic goes behind the scenes and complicates things a bit, while in general Void/Arch everything almost transparent/understandable/straight customizable. It's all good until Firefox has problems where it momentarily freezes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/106018 I tried |
| 2021-03-18 19:15:30 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | their IRC + Discord and issue is still open in github. I would love to go back to it if I can fix it. Sorry to post this on #xmonad |
| 2021-03-18 19:16:13 +0100 | <Solid> | huh interesting |
| 2021-03-18 19:16:23 +0100 | <Solid> | never had this happen to me :o |
| 2021-03-18 19:17:00 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | Solid: maybe you didn't notice, can you check going to preferences and scrolling up and down if the machine is in hand reach |
| 2021-03-18 19:17:42 +0100 | <Solid> | everythingTaken: I currently don't have access to that machine, but once I do I'll test this asap and ?tell you |
| 2021-03-18 19:17:51 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | THanks man |
| 2021-03-18 19:20:00 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | In one hand NixOs feels very robust, on the other hand messy (?) |
| 2021-03-18 19:21:21 +0100 | <everythingTaken> | I like Debian too, but packages in stable is just so outdated and arch/void is probably better than debian testing/sid |

| 2021-03-18 21:22:21 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | Guest40: the major pain point of Arch is that pacman doesn't support partial upgrades and downgrades, whereas in Debian it's completely fine to roll back a broken update and wait until it's fixed |
| 2021-03-18 21:22:49 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | but for some reason nobody talks about this, so maybe it's not a problem for most people? dunno. it's a complete blocker for me |
| 2021-03-18 21:24:13 +0100 | <Guest40> | yeah, rollbracks are nice. I am trying out NixOs, good haskell + xmonad support, decclarative config, rollbacks. But having some issues with firefox and it's a lot different than regular linux. they say sid gets security patches faster (but it's less stable?) |
| 2021-03-18 21:26:36 +0100 | <Guest40> | Liskni_si anyways, thanks. so you recommend debian tesing + few packages from sid (like firefox 86) right? |
| 2021-03-18 21:27:47 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it's named sid for a reason. every so often they do things like release a new glibc with no support from anything else so the rest of the system gets deleted:) (I think they're more careful about this these days but I recall it happening a few times back when I ran sid for kicks) |
| 2021-03-18 21:29:18 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | testing is basically a week after unstable, but sometimes stuff gets held a bit longer, either if people report breaking stuff or if something big is being changed |
| 2021-03-18 21:30:06 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | and yeah, security fixes to testing come a bit late too |
| 2021-03-18 21:30:29 +0100 | <Guest40> | how often it broke for you when updated in a year Liskni_si |
| 2021-03-18 21:30:41 +0100 | <Guest40> | geekosaur makes sense thanks |
| 2021-03-18 21:30:44 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | there's testing-security that's supposed to be used by the same team that does security updates for stable for high priority stuff, but I don't recall ever getting an update through that |
| 2021-03-18 21:31:14 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | so it's basically me reading the LWN security summary through rss and pulling updates manually if it sounds bad |
| 2021-03-18 21:31:26 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | (and stuff that's bad usually gets talked about on irc as well) |
| 2021-03-18 21:32:02 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | I wouldn't really say I recommend it to everyone, but it's the best tradeoff for me personally |
| 2021-03-18 21:32:32 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | how many times it breaks? dunno. I don't recall it ever really breaking, and I've been running testing for 15+ years without reinstall |
| 2021-03-18 21:32:51 +0100 | <Guest40> | wow, that;s some longevity |
| 2021-03-18 21:32:53 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | but packages that need to be rolled back, yeah that happens a couple times a year |
| 2021-03-18 21:33:06 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | most people would just get used to stuff being slightly broken |
| 2021-03-18 21:34:18 +0100 | <Guest40> | I will have to try it, thanks Liskni_si |
| 2021-03-18 21:34:18 +0100 | <mc47> | kiki_kiki, sorry, I'm not that familiar with tabbed layouts just yet |
| 2021-03-18 21:34:20 +0100 | <Liskni_si> | but when a printer driver breaks, you can't print, and sometimes you need to print :-) |
| 2021-03-18 21:34:36 +0100 | <kiki_kiki> | mc47: ok, thank you |
| 2021-03-18 21:35:12 +0100 | <geekosaur> | what's the question again? |

| 2021-03-18 21:39:21 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you wouldn't use ||| here unless you were prepending or appending this to the default list of layouts (`layoutHook def`) |

| 2021-03-18 21:41:24 +0100 | <geekosaur> | hm, I do wonder if this could be done using threeColMid as a Combo or ComboP frame |
| 2021-03-18 21:41:33 +0100 | <geekosaur> | but I'm going to have to run off soon :/ |
