 Julien | But currently we just don't have the hardware for that I think | 12:13:31 |
 raitobezarius | what do you mean the hardware | 12:14:07 |
| raitobezarius | we need no hardware to do this | 12:14:10 |
| raitobezarius |
and I'll definitely keep looking out for that 'simplest thing that can possibly work' for hash collection 😆. maybe I should just sit down and write a super boring database service and be done with it, but that's never how it goes, is it? 😆
raitobezarius
Maybe pgsql
Static schema
raboof
yeah exactly
raitobezarius
Add community folks with ssh key or IP or whatever
And post hook build script that uploads results
Directly with psqo
Psql *
And apply just some stupid RLS to prevent basic tampering
I can hack this weekend
If you come up with the schema
More generally, I have been meaning to have a NixOS community LDAP

| Julien | We need to build a second time what Hydra is already struggling to build ? | 12:14:39 |
| raitobezarius | we need no second hydra | 12:14:51 |
| raitobezarius | there's plenty of second hydra out there | 12:14:55 |
| raitobezarius | and plenty of people rebuilding stuff | 12:14:59 |
| raitobezarius | what we need is a hash collection infrastructure | 12:15:03 |
| Julien | Ah ok | 12:15:06 |
| raitobezarius | that requires a 512MB RAM machine | 12:15:09 |
 toonn | This is what Trustix intended to do, right? | 12:15:40 |
| Julien | Yeah | 12:15:48 |
| raitobezarius | Trustix had a much more ambitious goal but yes | 12:15:51 |
| Julien | But trustix is not really alive | 12:15:59 |
| Julien | But I'm interested also into seeing what we can do with trustix | 12:16:15 |
| raitobezarius | I think it is unreasonable to pursue Trustix without (a) funding (b) dedicated human resources on it | 12:18:29 |
| raitobezarius | I think it's more reasonable to build a stupid Postgres DB, build a stupid upload script, give the keys to community members we trust | 12:18:46 |
| raitobezarius | And let it run | 12:18:48 |
| Julien | Sure, but as you said, trustix has a much more ambitious goal | 12:19:15 |
| * raitobezarius nods$ | 12:19:29 |
| * raitobezarius * nods | 12:19:31 |
| raitobezarius | But having nothing is worse than having something | 12:19:39 |
| Julien | Yes true, but these are non exclusive things | 12:19:59 |
| raitobezarius | Non mutually exclusive, yes | 12:20:11 |
| raitobezarius | But if we are going to make a dent, let's start somewhere that benefits from passively collecting data | 12:20:25 |
| raitobezarius | Which will help everyone working in the ecosystem rather than pursuing ambitious goals which will bring fruits only much later on IMHO | 12:20:48 |
 Alyssa Ross | trustix had funding | 12:22:33 |
| Julien | Yeah but it is over now, right ? | 12:22:59 |
| toonn | Did it? Tweag wasn't really funding it AFAIK, was more of a 20%-time kinda dealio, no? | 12:23:48 |
