@infinisil:matrix.org@infinisil:matrix.orgOh and who actually pays for all those machines? The NixOS Foundation?23:06:32
@infinisil:matrix.org@infinisil:matrix.orgSorry for bombarding you with questions :P23:07:17
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-hThe Linux machines are sponsored by Equinix Metal, the Macs are a mix of Foundation hardware hosted by DetSys and some machines from Macstadium23:07:38
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-h(Some of the Hydra Macs are from Hetzner, but that's outside my purview :P)23:08:06

@infinisil:matrix.org@infinisil:matrix.orgIt's interesting how we have 2 CI's for Nixpkgs but both of them suck lol23:08:57
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-hIIRC, sponsored, but it's been a while since we set those up so I'm a little fuzzy on the details :P23:08:59

CI is hard 😭

@lily:lily.flowersLily 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@infinisil:matrix.orgI think it's mainly that we lack the funding to work on CI23:09:53
@lily:lily.flowersLily FosterFunding 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:lily.flowersLily Foster(funding could also of course provide that bandwidth too)23:10:59
@infinisil:matrix.org@infinisil:matrix.orgFyi I can spend about 50% of my week on Nix ecosystem stuff as I see fit23:11:27
@infinisil:matrix.org@infinisil:matrix.orgCurrently the focus is RFC 140, but I'll have to decide what to focus on after that23:11:54
@infinisil:matrix.org@infinisil:matrix.org(I'll take suggestions)23:12:36
