 Austin Horstman | That reminds me I keep forgetting to set up my old macbook to just be a builder for me... lol | 19:47:25 |
 emily | I find the Darwin builder to be just fine perf-wise when it's not being overloaded. | 19:48:04 |
| Austin Horstman | Yeah, its just nice being able to run more builds simultaneously. Been setting up all my random computers as remote builders | 19:48:51 |
 Gaétan Lepage | Yes, my point is that it gets very easily overloaded.
Both darwin platforms rely on "only" 10 cores.
Often, python test suites will disregard whatever --cores value is used, and fill all the CPU cores.
This makes it very easy to completely freeze the system. | 19:50:04 |
| emily | more cores wouldn't improve that though, since such a package will overload any system it's built on | 20:15:12 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Yes, you are right. Besides this python test issue, more core would still help speeding up builds nonetheless. | 20:20:12 |
| Gaétan Lepage | * Yes, you are right. Besides this (very annoying) python test issue, more core would still help speeding up builds nonetheless. | 20:20:35 |
 Grimmauld (moving to @grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.de) | The builders are an amazing resource. It is much more enjoyable working with large builds or many rebuilds having some sort of offload system. I just recently got access, but its been great for working on Firefox (large build) or SDL (where often only transient dependents explode to changes in the includes/pkgconfig). Making testing faster and less painful is almost always a good thing. And so far I didn't have any issues with other people building at the same time at all. But I also don't build on Darwin. | 21:10:22 |

 Jonas Chevalier | I have to manually upload the invoices and running 2 months behind rn. I'll get it updated soon. | 09:02:54 |
| Jonas Chevalier | Yeah posting to Matrix would be a bit too noisy, but having those as metrics would be nice. | 09:05:06 |

Yeah posting to Matrix would be a bit too noisy, but having those as metrics would be nice. Ill put somethjng together on the numtide infra as a testing ground :P | 09:22:53 |
| magic_rb | I was also looking into getting number of builds per hour out of the nix-daemon as prometheus metrics. I dont think it exists, but it cant be too hard to implement can it | 09:22:53 |
| Jonas Chevalier | Good idea :D | 09:26:08 |

 DavHau | Could someone allow me access to the builders? https://github.com/nix-community/infra/pull/1729 | 05:07:43 |
| DavHau | Thanks zowoq :) | 05:15:35 |

| Jonas Chevalier | Got the last invoices in. We're running a bit hot on the budget and have a 3-4 month runway before we have to cut some of the hardware.
If anybody works at a company using NixOS, we would appreciate some sponsorship! | 19:32:19 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Thanks for the update Jonas Chevalier! | 23:05:55 |
