@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyshould probably drop it from the blockers, I can't imagine anyone is using GTK Transmission on macOS...12:20:55
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Does “clang tidy” need clang-tools because wrappers? 12:22:30
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeNew M5 Pro and Max CPUs feature super cores. Maybe autoconf finally won’t take forever to run. 🤪15:23:47

    ghc
    nodejs
    boost
    ;
  inherit (qt6Packages)
    qtwebengine
    ;
}

@hexa:lossy.networkhexa when? we might need to buy new mac minis for infra sooner rather than later 15:28:24
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa
Pricing remains uncertain as Apple shifts some production to Texas, potentially affecting costs alongside tariff and exchange rate fluctuations.
15:29:10
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeJust announced new MBPs with them today. Ships next week. No news yet on new Minis.15:29:09

@hexa:lossy.networkhexahydra queue be like … 50k darwin, linux ~015:30:22
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathat's how staging tends to look these days15:30:27
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeWon’t that get better once we’re not building x86_64-darwin?15:30:52
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawe tried to move some more m1 hardware the foundation has into prod but hit snags in multiple locations15:30:53
@hexa:lossy.networkhexasomewhat15:30:57

@hexa:lossy.networkhexamaybe someone here can clarify the meaning of this screen 🤡15:31:41
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabecause two of the m1 minis we sent to a hosting location show this15:32:08
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaand boy does this look like mdm fuckery15:32:21
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThat’s what it looks like to me.15:32:37
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaso not properly unregistered from mdm, cool.15:32:54
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathese are foundation owned fwiw, so this is super funny, but I'm not laughing.15:33:26
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchs so this is odd, man ln shows me the man page for nixpkgs ln (doesn't say, but I assume coreutils), but which -a ln only shows /bin/ln, which has a wildly diverging flag set from the manual page one 15:53:22
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchswait that's not true, it's just macOS documenting a flag that no longer exists apparently15:57:58
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaur man -wa ln may be helpful? 16:00:00
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsoh, yep, that's the flag. it's the regular built-in manpage. I just got confused by which ln was used in the activation script (:16:01:53
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchs (that script uses the coreutils one, which stumbles over -h) 16:02:35
