15:15 <nij> Do we really not need swank-server to communicate through a secure UNIX socket? Or has someone been working on it?

15:21 <adlai> nij: https://github.com/adlai/slime/commit/0edd19a459a50f5deabe3f4521603e6fa5f98949

15:22 <adlai> that is a minimal throwaway patch, that lets you provide a pathname instead of an integer

15:24 <adlai> it may also be that the equivalent patch for SBCL is ~5 times as long

15:25 <nij> hmm any example usage?

15:28 <adlai> seven lines...

15:33 <adlai> there was already one long conversation about this in a github issue, https://github.com/slime/slime/issues/286 ; I don't think anyone would be opposed to a PR that cleans up my proof-of-concept, and better yet, implements it for several of the implementations, although it is probably not preferred as a default behavior.

15:34 <adlai> ... and continued in github issue https://github.com/slime/slime/issues/511

15:34 <adlai> ... and conversation locked, so I guess it's a good thing IRC exists.

15:38 <adlai> ... and there is a PR-in-progress, https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/291

15:41 <adlai> nij nay be satisfied by the already-merged PR, and example usage, in https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/519

15:48 <adlai> nij may prefer the self-contained example, https://gist.github.com/adlai/ca2c80c9a4b8079be1d604b518c4a6e5

15:50 <adlai> nij: please read the logs, I left a bunch of links for you

15:52 <pjb> nij: type /topic to see where the logs are.

15:52 <nij> I saw the links. Thanks, adlai pjb!

15:53 <nij> secretly i'm a sly user, but for the sake of this, i'll be back to slime a bit :) it could take me sometime

16:01 <pjb> nij: I guess the same can be done in sly, probably using the same code.
