@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožar Mic92: I wonder what it saves, looking at the instructions setting up VM is more work that setting up the guest, but then it's not clear what's the motivation 11:11:04

The VM version might be easier to update if you have multiple hosts?
11:12:02
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarmaybe because we neede to run older macOS version or something completely different like the flexibility to make snapshots and have greater margin for errors11:12:03
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaror both :)11:12:13
@joerg:bethselamin.deMic92This still feels a bit backward. What do professional do that maintain a larger cluster of macOS workstations?11:13:51
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarthey pay lots of money for others to do it11:18:13
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarthat's why macOS hosting is so expensive11:18:21
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn I always assumed it was because of the convenience in getting back to a known good state. 11:20:27
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožar Mic92: I'd imagine all large clusters have home-grown solutions to this 11:21:21
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Btw, DomenKozar, did my PM ever arrive? 11:23:17
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaronly one line?11:23:45
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Yes. 11:25:32
@andi:kack.itandi-Anyone else with an M1 MBP run into recurring kernel crashes when bootstrapping stdenv?11:35:34
@kloenk:petabyte.devFinn BehrensI have a M1 MBP, but never saw a kernel crash yet11:36:45
@kloenk:petabyte.devFinn BehrensOnly stuff like java is not working :-)11:36:51
@andi:kack.itandi- Finn Behrens: mind building the python attribute of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/124416 then? :D 11:37:44

In reply to @andi:kack.it
Finn Behrens: mind building the python attribute of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/124416 then? :D
will try
11:38:14
@kloenk:petabyte.devFinn Behrensshould I save everything befor doing that xP11:38:25
@thefloweringash:matrix.orgthefloweringashandi-: what does your panic log say?11:42:05
@andi:kack.itandi- thefloweringash: some spinlock stuff, can try to dig it out if that is helpful. Only getting that dialog every 2nd crash 11:43:17
@andi:kack.itandi-I just reproduced it with --cores 1 --max-jobs 1 ...11:43:37
@andi:kack.itandi-Send you a DM with the report.11:45:39
@thefloweringash:matrix.orgthefloweringash

I got about three of those in a row

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffe00233d71b8): "Spinlock timeout after 12583885 ticks, 0xfffffe002712c588 = fffffe167047d321"

And the crashed process was always “intltest” (or something similar)

11:45:47
@thefloweringash:matrix.orgthefloweringashI hoped it was something odd about my system, and hydra didn’t seem to have a problem.11:47:03
@andi:kack.itandi-Hydra is running on minis. You are using an MBP?11:47:32
@thefloweringash:matrix.orgthefloweringashA mini here11:47:44
@thefloweringash:matrix.orgthefloweringashSo maybe luck or os version dependent.11:48:04
