@infinisil:matrix.org | Oh and who actually pays for all those machines? The NixOS Foundation? | 23:06:32 |
@infinisil:matrix.org | Sorry for bombarding you with questions :P | 23:07:17 |
cole-h | The Linux machines are sponsored by Equinix Metal, the Macs are a mix of Foundation hardware hosted by DetSys and some machines from Macstadium | 23:07:38 |
cole-h | (Some of the Hydra Macs are from Hetzner, but that's outside my purview :P) | 23:08:06 |
Lily Foster | In reply to @cole-h:matrix.org The Linux machines are sponsored by Equinix Metal, the Macs are a mix of Foundation hardware hosted by DetSys and some machines from Macstadium (is macstadium sponsoring those or is Foundation paying?) | 23:08:21 |
@infinisil:matrix.org | In reply to @cole-h:matrix.org The Linux machines are sponsored by Equinix Metal, the Macs are a mix of Foundation hardware hosted by DetSys and some machines from Macstadium I see, thanks! | 23:08:30 |
@infinisil:matrix.org | It's interesting how we have 2 CI's for Nixpkgs but both of them suck lol | 23:08:57 |
cole-h | IIRC, sponsored, but it's been a while since we set those up so I'm a little fuzzy on the details :P | 23:08:59 |
cole-h | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org It's interesting how we have 2 CI's for Nixpkgs but both of them suck lol CI is hard 😠| 23:09:11 |
Lily Foster | (I mean if someone payed me full-time I'd do a lot of work on the nixpkgs CI story 👀) | 23:09:45 |
@infinisil:matrix.org | I think it's mainly that we lack the funding to work on CI | 23:09:53 |
Lily Foster | Funding and I do feel we don't have the dedicated developer bandwidth (which could certainly be solvable, but is I feel a current problem) | 23:10:38 |
Lily Foster | (funding could also of course provide that bandwidth too) | 23:10:59 |
@infinisil:matrix.org | Fyi I can spend about 50% of my week on Nix ecosystem stuff as I see fit | 23:11:27 |
@infinisil:matrix.org | Currently the focus is RFC 140, but I'll have to decide what to focus on after that | 23:11:54 |
@infinisil:matrix.org | (I'll take suggestions) | 23:12:36 |
