 emily | it might be a ? option you can use on the remote builder URL | 01:30:23 |
| emily | dunno, I don't have the builders set as remote builders since I don't trust them | 01:30:34 |
 hexa | I use the comunity builders through shell aliases š | 01:53:33 |
 Perchun Pak [don't ping; dm instead] | if I recognize this issue correctly, it happens to be on huge symlinkJoins in nixpkgs-review, and they work around it by using pkgs.buildEnv

 matthewcroughan | is aarch64.nixos.community down? | 13:28:58 |
 GaƩtan Lepage | Nope | 13:37:18 |
| GaƩtan Lepage | Oh yes | 13:37:37 |
| GaƩtan Lepage | It was a system provided by Equinix systems. They ended the sponsorship at the end of 2024.
Since then, nix-community has started to rent a new ARM builder. | 13:38:19 |

--> aarch64-build-box.nix-community.org | 13:38:51 |
| matthewcroughan | FWIW if you guys buy or subsidize the cost of an ampere machine we can host it in our new hackspace Birkenhack near to Liverpool on a gigabit connection | 13:40:28 |
| GaĆ©tan Lepage | The current box is 169ā¬/month. It means that over two year we would have paid for a ~4kā¬ system.
Might be worth to consider buying idk... Of course the reliability/trust aspect has to be considered. | 13:42:43 |
| matthewcroughan | I expect it to be very reliable, and you can trust me :) | 14:23:12 |
| matthewcroughan | My space is going to have fido2 door locks | 14:23:18 |
| matthewcroughan | I think the rent is pretty good though if the machine is used a lot | 14:25:21 |
| matthewcroughan | GaƩtan Lepage: did you guys get rid of the impermanence setup? | 16:32:06 |
| matthewcroughan | I also find that putting ssh keys in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys doesn't work anymore | 16:32:19 |
| GaƩtan Lepage | On the ARM box ? I am not managing it at all. | 16:32:36 |
| GaƩtan Lepage | zowoq is kindly operating the infra. | 16:32:55 |
| matthewcroughan | zfs, nice | 16:44:13 |
 Jonas Chevalier | Do you have any KVM or remote hands to reboot the machine? That's the main thing that was holding us back from liberodark's offer. If the host goes down and we have no good way to reboot / replace it quickly, then the community gets stuck and it creates more overhead and stress for us (mainly zowoq). | 17:07:14 |
| matthewcroughan | yes to both, I manage everything with pikvm running nixos itself | 17:14:54 |
| matthewcroughan | almost all of my own machines have this now | 17:15:02 |
| matthewcroughan | and I live close to the space | 17:15:21 |
