 jlc | Heya- For mounting SMB shares using cifs, is the "nofail" option relevant like when declaring mounts for physical drives? | 16:25:49 |
| jlc | (looks like the answer is yes - editing the wiki to say as much rn) | 17:06:29 |
 whispers (it/fae) | i feel like this is a reasonable question that we should know the answer to, but i don't, so: if you hand it a big bold graph, how does lix/nix choose what to build first? it doesn't seem to start from the most depended-on derivations or any other metric which i would expect. | 22:55:48 |

 emily | I don't think it tries to do anything smart at all | 00:06:03 |
| emily | just picks stuff it can build and builds it until it's out of slots | 00:06:22 |
| emily | certainly Hydra isn't smart about it at all | 00:06:44 |
| emily | in practice things are usually either sufficiently wide fan-out that it doesn't really matter what you pick, or bottlenecked on few enough things that it doesn't really matter what you pick, so it's not a huge deal unless you have few build slots | 00:07:41 |

| whispers (it/fae) | huh fair, ty | 00:10:40 |
 raitobezarius | (untrusted) spare hardware still needs tending so it's up to the amount of infra resources available, we already have remote beefy builders for doing things, x86 CI is not bottlenecked in any way, Darwin is always the limiting factor | 04:23:52 |
| raitobezarius | i'd recommend joining the afnix zulip and the infra channel and looking if you can pick up some tasks so that the team and you can take the time to know each other | 04:24:47 |
| raitobezarius | many tasks doesn't require root@ perms as deployment is rarely a bottleneck | 04:25:04 |

| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | oh, not anymore | 09:53:37 |

 bandithedoge | nixpkgs back at it again? | 09:56:40 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | yea | 10:43:34 |
