 Janne Heß | Yep, darwin will come up in the next couple of days and aarch64-linux … idk? Maybe I'll just click a server? | 21:25:30 |
 emily | would be nice if we can make a shared Ampere happen for ofborg + community builder, maybe | 21:25:53 |
| emily | (I think the old community builder was also an ofborg box?) | 21:26:00 |
| emily | sadly, $$$ :( | 21:26:04 |
| Janne Heß | Yep, that was shared | 21:27:08 |
| emily | aarch64-linux was always the fastest arch on ofborg, so maybe we could get away with just one shared machine if we're lucky | 21:27:32 |
| Janne Heß | Do you know the specs of the old one? I didn't write them down unfortunately | 21:27:51 |
| emily | it was an 80-core Ampere | 21:28:00 |
| emily | I think 256 gigs of RAM | 21:28:05 |
| emily | but maybe it was 128 | 21:28:07 |
| emily | Hetzner sell them for 150-ish euros a month | 21:28:16 |
| Janne Heß | ah so Hetzner RX Specs | 21:28:17 |
| Janne Heß | yeah, thats RX170 | 21:28:22 |
| emily | maybe the foundation can spare the budget for one or two more of those, or maybe it will turn out we have excess capacity on Hydra and can repurpose one of them | 21:28:53 |
| emily | (I saw some talk about maybe not needing all the servers that were ordered in the infra room) | 21:29:03 |
| Janne Heß | hexa probably knows more about that ;) | 21:29:16 |
| emily | right now I think most contributors have basically no way to test something like Firefox on aarch64-linux, which is unfortunate, as it's our second-best supported platform. | 21:29:27 |
| emily | so is ofborg using the GHA eval outputs now? | 21:32:37 |
| Janne Heß | No, it's only parsing the commit messages and PR messages and parses @ofborg commands | 21:32:54 |
| Janne Heß | GH API is still horrible and I will try to get around it as long as I can | 21:33:09 |
| emily | it, uh, tried to build the package named treewide on my PR :) | 21:33:46 |
| Janne Heß | well. Simon Hauser could you take a look on tuesday? I dropped the logic that filters actual attributes to get rid of all evals, but looks like that has downsides as well | 21:34:35 |

I think 256 gigs of RAM btop was reporting 250GB for sure. | 21:45:40 |

would be nice if we can make a shared Ampere happen for ofborg + community builder, maybe +1: This would be very useful indeed :) | 21:58:29 |

 hexa | the foundation is in the netherlands, so 21% taxes apply | 01:39:44 |
| hexa | 205 EUR for an RX170, 265 EUR for an RX220 | 01:39:58 |
| hexa | if you want that to happen, send a funding request to the foundation issue tracker | 01:41:33 |
| hexa | but frankly, a community builder should be hosted with nix-community ideally | 01:41:58 |
| hexa | I don't want to have to deal with that | 01:42:07 |
| emily | well, I was thinking it makes more sense to use one machine for both ofborg and community builds (since it was like that before, and the machines are so huge) | 01:43:21 |
