@k900:0upti.meK900Yeah very unlikely17:23:56
@k900:0upti.meK900You probably want to set up a Linux VM17:24:02
@k900:0upti.meK900And build on that17:24:03
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeCross to Linux should work.17:26:45
@denommus:matrix.orgdenommusI think even if I set up a Linux VM I'll need to crosscompile, because the VM would be aarch64 as well, since I'm on a M317:27:41
@denommus:matrix.orgdenommusare my chances better on Linux anyway?17:27:51
@k900:0upti.meK900I think you can set up an x86_64 VM with Rosetta something something17:28:06
@k900:0upti.meK900But I am not an Apple user17:28:13
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasauryou can set up an aarch64 VM and pass thru Rosetta into it for faster emulation of x86_64, yes17:28:45
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaure.g. https://github.com/cpick/nix-rosetta-builder17:29:06
@denommus:matrix.orgdenommusthat looks like what I need, I'll test it, thanks17:29:43
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsthis and the virby vm repo do similar things, I've been using virby recently because it rebuilds cleaner21:31:18

@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstman Ihar Hrachyshka: ah yeah, building is a lot faster when i don't limit my cores lol. just had to rebuild firefox-devedition-unwrapped and it only took 45 min on my laptop now 16:36:58
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkRedacted or Malformed Event17:44:59
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkI set the core limit to exclude the efficiency cores and it builds faster now than before. 19:19:38

@debtquity:matrix.orgdebtquityis there anything worth it in tahoe? I reviewed the marketing for it and just seems like a crappy ui update20:08:16
@debtquity:matrix.orgdebtquitybut maybe there are hidden gems?20:08:26
