 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Jonas Chevalier: I’d like to sponsor a GPU (CUDA) instance for nix-community so we can verify runtime behavior of things like PyTorch. Any ideas how much that would cost (or if Hetzner provides a discount for open source projects)? | 05:17:41 |

 emily | Grimmauld (any/all): are those git-of-theseus processes on the AArch64 box doing anything? it seems like they're using 0% CPU but a huge amount of memory | 21:53:35 |
| emily | (no worries if so, I just wasn't sure if they were leftovers are not :P) | 21:55:36 |

Grimmauld (any/all): are those git-of-theseus processes on the AArch64 box doing anything? it seems like they're using 0% CPU but a huge amount of memory They are indexing nixpkgs, wanted to poke it a bit. The index takes 10h, is super slow, so I went and threw just more cores at it | 21:56:47 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | If you need the memory for something productive you can kill them, but if they survive till tomorrow I'll have a nice graph :) | 21:57:41 |
| emily | I don't think I could kill them without abusing trusted-users status to escalate to root :P | 22:01:08 |
| emily | but I can run the eval on another builder | 22:01:13 |
| emily | (was going to do it locally except apparently CI eval is just broken on Darwin…) | 22:01:27 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | Oh I can also drop to fewer processes, I believe its memory bandwidth limited | 22:02:02 |
| emily | the readme says https://github.com/src-d/hercules is significantly faster fwiw | 22:03:58 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | I might have to put that into the PR that is packaging git-of-theseus | 22:05:36 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | Thanks for the pointer, and I dropped some cores. You should be good on the aarch64 box, sorry for the hassle | 22:11:05 |
| emily | no worries, already moved to the x86 one :) | 22:12:01 |

Hetzner has some discounts that work more like a fixed credit they renew every year. The NixOS foundation has part of an ARM box covered by it, the nix-community project nothing so far.
Do you have an amount in mind that would work for you or your employer? Maybe we can pool it with other companies to cover the costs.
Feel free to DM me if you want to talk privately about the money matters. | 09:51:27 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | At least for the foreseeable future it’s going to be more out of pocket for me :/
I can put up an additional 250 EUR a month for a few months at least to get something, anything going
When’s the billing cycle for Hetzner stuff? | 23:58:50 |
