| 10:07:50 | minime | Hello, does anyone have information for me on the nimcache ( ~/.cache/nim/* )? I understand that I can remove it at will, however I would like to know if there are best practices for managing nim's cache. Any and all information is much appreciated. |
| 10:13:52 | FromDiscord | <nnsee> In reply to @minime "Hello, does anyone have": there isn't any functionality like this built into the compiler, no. users are generally expected to manage their own cache. personally, i point my nimcache to a tmpfs (backed by RAM) meaning reading/writing cache is fast and cache doesn't accumulate as the files are obviously gone when i reboot. you're free to use any of the common methods for managing .cache, like using systemd's `user-tmpf |
| 10:16:21 | FromDiscord | <nnsee> don't quote me on this, but i believe some distros already include this by default (check your `/usr/share/user-tmpfiles.d/` i suppose) |
| 10:26:02 | minime | That's what I suspected, that there is no functionality built into nim. Thank you for confirming this. I don't use systemd, but there's, like you already said, a lot of ways to manage such cache and temporary directories. Thank you for helping me. |
| 13:08:58 | FromDiscord | <Zoom> Wait, is nimble.directory down again or is it down still? Last time I noticed was a couple weeks ago. |
| 14:00:26 | strogon14_ | forget nimble.directory, use https://nimpkgs.org/ |
| 14:01:52 | strogon14_ | or https://nimpackages.com/ |
| 14:41:35 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> why they don't go further hosting packages |
| 15:09:10 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @bung8954 "why they don't go": the packages have to be hosted somewhere, and Nim has no big backers, unlike Rust, Go or Python |
| 15:09:38 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> So that just comes down to the maintenance and administrative cost |
| 15:10:59 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> In reply to @battery.acid.bubblegum "So that just comes": a tiny server can host all nimble packages, I already write a server just need a host |
| 15:11:48 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> install via git is unstable for some regions |
| 15:16:56 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> How about you take on the duty of hosting then? :p↵I'm not being rude, but Araq and most of the community simply don't have any reason to host a server for the packages, since it'd just be an unnecessary burden to them |
| 15:17:03 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @bung8954 "install via git is": Oh? Really? Why's that? |
| 15:19:58 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> In reply to @battery.acid.bubblegum "Oh? Really? Why's that?": if you know GFW you know, like nowadays not only 1 country has network filter |
| 15:21:36 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @bung8954 "if you know GFW": I don't know what GFW is |
| 15:23:05 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> In reply to @battery.acid.bubblegum "I don't know what": imaging someone install a network filter on your router thought it's "good for you" |
| 15:23:53 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @bung8954 "imaging someone install a": So someone blocked access to github on a network filter? |
| 15:25:21 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> In reply to @battery.acid.bubblegum "So someone blocked access": it's installed on Backbone Network |
| 15:25:28 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> (edit) "In reply to @battery.acid.bubblegum "So someone blocked access": it's installed on Backbone Network ... " added "actually" |
| 15:32:14 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @bung8954 "it's installed on Backbone": I'm not familiar with that concept↵↵But in this case, since it's not a problem for a large amount of users, it's not reasonable to expect the language developer to take on the additional burden of maintaining a registry, unfortunately |
| 15:33:03 | FromDiscord | <bung8954> In reply to @battery.acid.bubblegum "I'm not familiar with": yeah, so am not expecting that |
