 commiterate | which Mac instances are the antithesis of | 18:34:02 |
| commiterate | EC2 is trying to get Apple to change their stance but the PM says they're quite adamant and will probably take like 1-3 years time | 18:36:04 |
 Arian | My workaround so far has been spawning VMs on the instances using virtualization framework | 18:44:56 |
| Arian | :) | 18:45:00 |
| commiterate | yeah same. Need to use Tart VMs for isolation anyways. | 18:45:28 |
| Arian | Yeh so we just register tart VMs to GHA basically | 18:45:44 |
| Arian | Spawning a fresh VM per job | 18:45:50 |
| commiterate | I'm probably just going to delay working on macOS GitLab runners since they make deployments horrible.
I'm really just using the Nix profiles trick for bootstrap Docker runners that use Amazon Linux 2023 + Nix profiles. Those bootstrap machines will guarantee a build machine pool for platform-specific artifacts (e.g. NixOS images) which will support the actual production pool. | 18:47:28 |
| commiterate | But mentioning macOS in the issue specifically gets around the "why aren't you just using NixOS" questions. | 18:47:59 |

| Arian | Could somebody have a look at this R? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343939 | 08:04:55 |

Could somebody have a look at this R? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343939 Does it mean that t2.micro won't be supported? | 15:09:25 |
| Arian | In reply to @AleXoundOS:matrix.org
Does it mean that t2.micro won't be supported? It will! I even tested it | 15:12:36 |
| Arian | It supports both bios and uefi with this image | 15:12:44 |

It supports both bios and uefi with this image (Sorry for bothering. Just wanted to be sure.) | 15:13:37 |
| Arian | It's a good question to ask :) | 15:15:10 |
| @AleXoundOS:matrix.org | The AWS CLI command at https://nixos.github.io/amis/ is misleading. There are 2 consecutive --filter options used. However, when I tested only the last one is being applied.
This works instead:
aws ec2 describe-images --owners 427812963091 --filters 'Name=name,Values=nixos/24.05*' 'Name=architecture,Values=arm64'

| @sielicki:matrix.org | logged into matrix after months and had some messages, which never reached my phone notifications, directing me towards this channel to discuss ENA distribution. apologies all for being out of touch. | 03:25:35 |
| @sielicki:matrix.org | really exciting to see the ongoing work here | 03:25:55 |
| @sielicki:matrix.org | we should package https://github.com/amazonlinux/amazon-ec2-net-utils at some point | 03:34:17 |
| commiterate | Yup, have it on the shortlist here: https://github.com/NixOS/amis/issues/137#issuecomment-2334838405 | 04:24:24 |
| commiterate | This one should be a pretty easy lift like amazon-ec2-utils which also provides udev rules but for device mappings. | 04:26:36 |
