 emily | just wondering if there is a plan for ongoing maintenance | 11:27:07 |
 Matt Sturgeon | Its not blocking me, as everything passed on a rebuild, but I figured I should report so the infra/buildbot maintainers are aware:
I just had a buildbot build fail with "cachix: FailureResponse | 524: A timeout occurred" (only one build had the issue; the other 199 all passed). Not seen this before, so I'll monitor to see if it becomes a recurring issue.
| 11:41:51 |
 Mic92 | Matt Sturgeon: I saw error 500 in a different place too for cachix. It's something domen has to fix. | 12:25:20 |

just wondering if there is a plan for ongoing maintenance It was merged. We can ask the community if someone else wants to take over maintainance. | 12:26:05 |
| Mic92 | Personally I am not using it. | 12:26:19 |
| emily | it's always seemed a little unfortunate to me that there are two Rust flakes implementing very nearly the exact same functionality with slightly different tradeoffs | 12:26:58 |
| Mic92 | What's the advantage of fenix over the other one? | 12:28:20 |
 Domen Kožar | Mic92: we rolled out a change and it took down the server for a few seconds | 12:30:45 |

What's the advantage of fenix over the other one? IIRC fenix has smaller tarballs than rust-overlay because it requires IFD to use nightlies whereas rust-overlay contains that information in-tree. I believe rust-overlay has cut off nightlies before 2023 to mitigate that problem now though. | 12:30:55 |
| emily | https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/issues/139#issuecomment-1786249552 has a comparison from the rust-overlay maintainer and links to other people's comparisons | 12:31:30 |
| emily | (looks like rust-overlay is still significantly bigger to download, though smaller than Nixpkgs) | 12:33:06 |
| emily | (I assume a hypothetical branch of rust-overlay that only included the toolchains fenix does would be comparable in size) | 12:35:27 |

is fenix ~dead-ish? I took a break and decided to come back a few days ago, but got busy with other stuff so wasn't able to get to much. I should be able to start reviewing stuff in a bit, sorry | 14:01:22 |
| emily | no worries! | 14:01:47 |
| emily | take your time, was just checking in on the status :) | 14:01:59 |

 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | Is this the right room to ask about the aarch64 box? | 18:08:44 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I keep seeing it getting slammed with tensorflowy/cuda-y stuff. Idk if it's "normal" or "sus". | 18:09:06 |
 Gaétan Lepage | Nope, that's my fault | 18:09:21 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | Not trying to police what people do, god knows I keep building kernels on it, etc. | 18:09:25 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | 👍️ coolio. Ignore me then :) | 18:09:36 |
| Gaétan Lepage | I am currently reviewing the torch update which is unfortunately massive | 18:09:46 |
| Gaétan Lepage | It should not last too too long... | 18:10:11 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | okay, with recent ... things... I was a bit nervous. | 18:10:11 |
| Gaétan Lepage | 200/250GB ram usage 🥲 | 18:11:43 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Santa, can we have an other box like this please ? | 18:12:38 |
