Randy Eckenrode | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/519195 is the Mesa fix I’ve been using. | 23:33:25 |

Randy Eckenrode | I’m starting to suspect that we should expect Intel support to be dropped in the 27.4 SDK..... | 00:23:17 |

Randy Eckenrode | If you look at how things went for PPC, the version of Xcode that shipped with 10.6 included support for PPC, but it was dropped by when Xcode 4.0 was released (prior to the release of 10.7). | 00:24:10 |
Randy Eckenrode | Apple today appears to do late-cycle changes in the x.4 release. We got hit by it in 15.4. 14.4 included some new APIs, and 26.4 also includes new APIs (and drops support for plain arm64-darwin stubs). Dropping the x86_64 stubs from the 27.4 would match that pattern. | 00:25:04 |

hexa | fseventsd is very reliably consuming builder swap | 00:23:22 |
hexa | I'm so close to just set up a launchd service that kills it every hour | 00:23:37 |
emily | are the /nix/store or the build directories perhaps getting indexed by Spotlight? | 00:24:36 |
hexa | how would I know | 00:29:30 |
hexa | how do macos users not have extensive knowledge here :D | 00:29:52 |
hexa | we have this | 00:30:55 |
hexa | system.activationScripts.postActivation.text = ''
printf "disabling spotlight indexing... "
mdutil -i off -d / &> /dev/null
mdutil -E / &> /dev/null
echo "ok"
'';
| 00:30:57 |
hexa | so it's probably not that | 00:31:00 |

viraptor | Honestly, I'm finding "yet another service I didn't know existed" every two weeks or so because it starts leaking memory from bigger builds. Life's too short, feedback gets ignored, "sudo kill ..." is the way | 00:33:56 |

hexa | that's what I do | 00:34:11 |
hexa | that's what you see in the screenshot up there | 00:34:16 |
hexa | killall -9 fseventsd | 00:34:23 |
ttp | high number of read/writes causes it to go up as well iirc
so writing node_modules and nix stores etc can cause it to go haywire
restarting it periodically shouldn't hurt it, but it is a sucky solution for something that should be doing nothing | 00:34:41 |
