@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodehttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/519195 is the Mesa fix I’ve been using.23:33:25

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI’m starting to suspect that we should expect Intel support to be dropped in the 27.4 SDK.....00:23:17
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode * 00:23:24
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIf 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
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeApple 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:lossy.networkhexafseventsd is very reliably consuming builder swap00:23:22
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI'm so close to just set up a launchd service that kills it every hour00:23:37
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily are the /nix/store or the build directories perhaps getting indexed by Spotlight? 00:24:36
@hexa:lossy.networkhexahow would I know00:29:30
@hexa:lossy.networkhexahow do macos users not have extensive knowledge here :D00:29:52
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawe have this00:30:55
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa
  system.activationScripts.postActivation.text = ''
    printf "disabling spotlight indexing... "
    mdutil -i off -d / &> /dev/null
    mdutil -E / &> /dev/null
    echo "ok"
  '';

@viraptor:tchncs.deviraptorHonestly, 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 way00:33:56

@hexa:lossy.networkhexathat's what I do00:34:11
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathat's what you see in the screenshot up there00:34:16
@hexa:lossy.networkhexakillall -9 fseventsd00:34:23
@ttp:mozilla.orgttphigh 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 nothing00:34:41
