| lennart | moin, we are sunsetting a MacMini M1 2020 with 32GB and 1TB SSD (this model is an educated guess, will have another look if its a different model, when I'm in the office next week) at work. we are using NixOS quite a lot there, but not darwin. I could talk to my boss, if we want to donate this hardware's compute and energy consumption for a builder. does this sound interesting? are there any guides on how to set up a darwin builder? which project (CI, ofborg, community builder, etc) is in need? best! | 08:06:06 |

 Vladimír Čunát | I noticed that it is often unreachable lately:

 xanderio | Could I get the restart-jobs hydra role for my account "alex@xanderio.de", acourding to https://github.com/NixOS/infra/wiki/Hydra-Accounts#deciding-on-roles | 11:11:33 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Awarded. | 11:15:18 |
 emily | probably ofborg | 15:06:09 |
| emily | I think using it for Hydra would require more consideration unless it can be shipped out since infra team need reliable access and there's security considerations etc. | 15:07:04 |
| emily | but ofborg Darwin capacity is sad (and mostly wasted throwing away LLVM builds I think unless that got fixed) | 15:07:39 |
| emily | #ofborg:nixos.org perhaps | 15:07:50 |
| lennart | hi @emilazy:matrix.org: was this related to my M1 MacMini offer? reads like it, but not sure | 16:36:07 |
| lennart | ah | 16:36:24 |
| emily | yes (I used a Matrix reply, maybe your client doesn't show them?) | 16:36:28 |
| lennart | now my client renders the quote | 16:36:33 |
| lennart | propably just Telekom uplink in Berlin U-Bahn being funky | 16:36:52 |
| lennart | I'll ask in the ofborg channel soonish, thanks! | 16:37:29 |
| emily | would be very nice to have useful pre-merge builds for Darwin again so thank you for offering this :) | 16:37:53 |
| emily | I think the ofborg machines are already M1 tier too, but likely with lower RAM, so it would be a good boost there | 16:38:09 |
| emily | IIRC Hydra is on newer processors now (not certain), so an M1 may not be so appealing | 16:38:25 |
| lennart | perfect, sounds good | 16:38:42 |
 Emma [it/its] | is m1 vs newer even that big of an improvement in raw compute? | 16:39:05 |
| lennart | I'll have to ask by boss but shouldnt be a problem. the hardware is free and unused in 1-2 months | 16:39:31 |
| emily | yes, pretty significant. | 16:39:49 |
| emily | more cores, but even single-core is significantly better | 16:40:18 |
| Emma [it/its] | ah | 16:40:26 |
| lennart | what should the uplink look like for ofborg? wie have 1000 down, 200 up at the office, could also drop it in a datacenter with so called embedded hosting and symetric 1000 uplink | 16:42:34 |
