 emily | so, it won't cause any memory increase out of the box to set it to 122880. | 23:43:53 |
| emily | therefore it seems fine, the only risk is processes using up all of them which would be a whopping 600 KiB. | 23:44:43 |
| emily | so I'll just do that. | 23:44:48 |
| emily | reno: you have a macOS 11 VM, right? what's kern.maxfilesperproc there? | 23:47:44 |
| emily | it turns out that it's 10240 on 10.12 so we probably can't go above that for now >:( | 23:47:55 |
 Artturin | What happens when you set it above the max | 23:48:23 |
| emily | it fails. | 23:48:30 |

it turns out that it's 10240 on 10.12 so we probably can't go above that for now >:( kern.maxfilesperproc: 98304 | 23:48:33 |
| emily | and I don't want to implement conditional logic. | 23:48:36 |
| emily | In reply to @paparodeo:matrix.org
kern.maxfilesperproc: 98304 wow they really just keep bumping it up | 23:48:43 |
| emily | ok I'll put it at 10240 for now. | 23:48:49 |
| emily | ridiculous number. | 23:48:53 |
| Artturin | ulimit || ulimit || ulimit | 23:49:09 |
| emily | they could at last have made it 16384 | 23:49:14 |
| emily | In reply to @artturin:matrix.org
ulimit || ulimit || ulimit yeah. but otoh nothing in the tree sets it above 8196. | 23:49:23 |
| emily | so it doesn't seem worth it. I can bump it as a treat to myself every time I bump the minimum macOS version. | 23:49:35 |
| Artturin | https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/blob/5c0c6aaa797d6ccbb6cdab14de0248135735709d/modules/services/nix-daemon.nix#L51 | 23:52:35 |
| Artturin | nix-darwin has 1048576 | 23:52:40 |
| Artturin | Wonder if it's applying for them | 23:53:05 |
| emily | https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/commit/ec06ea883757c6075c61d1426f40719742d51f59 | 23:53:24 |
| emily | was just copied from Nix | 23:53:31 |
| emily | you definitely can't go above kern.maxfilesperproc so my expectation is that it's either doing nothing or getting silently capped | 23:54:01 |
| emily | and apparently not passing down to builds anyway(?) | 23:54:10 |

| Artturin | Commented https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/pull/940/files#r1818220494 | 00:02:36 |
| emily | we basically just aim to match the upstream plist there | 00:03:52 |
| emily | so probably it's an issue for Nix primarily | 00:04:06 |
