 Vladimír Čunát | Yes, you want the URL to change. | 17:19:56 |
| Vladimír Čunát | (and avoid using the non-www variant) | 17:20:10 |
 hexa | yes, but with the understanding what that means for our web presence | 17:20:18 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * (and avoid using the non-www variant in links, etc.) | 17:20:21 |
| hexa | which is not infra's job | 17:20:22 |
| hexa | feel free to suggest that to marketing though | 17:20:55 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Is there a problem with the current setup, though? | 17:23:33 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I haven't heard it being slow - or not much of any feedback really 😅 | 17:24:02 |
| hexa | just the ALIAS record imo | 17:24:19 |
| hexa | which means they resolve it from various pops around the world and that can fail | 17:24:32 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I mean now, without the ALIAS. Or is it back already? | 17:24:43 |
| hexa | in this case it was their pop in milano that couldn't resolve nixos-homepage.netlify.com apparently | 17:24:47 |
| hexa | good question, I don't have a full picture of what we terminate of the nixos.org vhost | 17:25:24 |
| hexa | * good question, I don't have a full picture of what we terminate over the nixos.org vhost beyond the website | 17:25:38 |
| hexa | and yeah, right now its some aws loadbalancer, which is likely anycasted | 17:26:02 |
| hexa | so not a bad solution | 17:26:14 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I'd assume that the performance (geo* stuff) might be worse than with ALIAS/CNAME, but no idea how much and whether we'd even care for the difference. | 17:27:21 |

 emily | TIL Hydra downloads and presumably partially seeds a Sintel torrent on every channel bump | 16:27:48 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I'm not sure that it's a good thing to test all the time. Shown e.g. here:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1819642?filter=fetchtorrent | 17:07:22 |
| hexa |
This unfortunately increases the closure size of the tests: Sintel is
124MB, compared to 54MB for the Wired CD. This was the smallest torrent
I could find that both had a free license and was sufficiently well
seeded to be useful for testing.

| emily | haha, it was Warez before? | 17:17:25 |
| emily | I'm having to fix it because of dropping Transmission 3 breaking it. or well, "having to", I could just mark it broken. | 17:17:42 |
| emily | I was surprised Hydra is running it. | 17:17:48 |
