 Mic92 (Old) | I guess since a new image it should be fine if it does not support all legacy features. | 09:36:38 |
| Mic92 (Old) | If someone needs bios it can be still added. | 09:36:47 |
| Mic92 (Old) | Looks interesting: https://github.com/u-root/u-root | 11:34:16 |
 andi- | That was the project that shipped a go compiler in the initrd + source code? | 11:36:05 |
| andi- | and custom Go compatible shell? | 11:36:11 |
| Mic92 (Old) | did it? | 11:37:12 |
| Mic92 (Old) | is see: https://github.com/u-root/u-root/blob/master/pkg/golang/build.go | 11:37:50 |
| andi- | I think I saw that when looking at Linuxboot a while ago | 12:06:36 |

Opinions? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/132087 Looks good to me, although I found a bug in there that I'm uh, worried about submitting a fix for | 15:38:10 |
| edude03 | the TLDR is that sometimes it fails to come up because there is a race between k8s & cfssl. On slow machines I find that cfssl loses the race and thus kubernetes can't start | 15:38:42 |
| edude03 | However, after reading that ticket, I'm wondering if someone already noticed that, tried to fix it, and it had unintended consequences | 15:39:17 |
| edude03 | That said in my own use case it works so 🤔 | 15:39:26 |

 jackdk | so, you know the gg paper, right? where they instrumented a build system and did all the actual building on Lambda? Has anyone played with using Lambda as a remote builder for nix? | 05:47:18 |
| andi- | Eelco did some hacking on using an SQS queue for the actual worker queue: https://github.com/edolstra/nix/commits/aws-store | 09:03:30 |

| Mic92 (Old) | How much compute power does one get there? Also traffic costs in aws can be significant. | 07:48:04 |

 colemickens | confession: I regret some of my Azure whining, I don't know how people get by in every other cloud without the concept of ARM groups. Cleaning up a handful of sporadic resources in OCI is a nightmare. Either do it by hand, or you spin up a Stack, and a Job, (actually two because the first might fail) which causes OCI to run Terraform for you to do the mass delete. | 00:26:30 |

| josw | Then again, I often wonder how much they read into Nix to get where they are now with Azure | 08:24:42 |
| josw | kinda hurts... | 08:25:13 |
| colemickens | I didn't quite track that bit. | 23:00:25 |

so, you know the gg paper, right? where they instrumented a build system and did all the actual building on Lambda? Has anyone played with using Lambda as a remote builder for nix? Tomberek has experimented with it https://github.com/tomberek/lambdanix
Also I believe that nowadays (2+ years after that attempt) things might have become easier as now lambda supports using custom container images so long they respect a few conventions | 04:48:40 |
| kamadorueda | I personally find lambda quite an interesting target because of scalability | 04:50:00 |
