 Mindavi | We should also just use a lot less aliases and stop introducing them haphazardly. Just make them throw immediately maybe, with the new attr name (if any) | 16:44:17 |
 hexa | People got mad at me the last time I converted aliased to throws | 16:47:59 |
| hexa | Primarily due to out of tree usage | 16:48:12 |

 Lily Foster | I opened https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg/pull/643 for the alias checking problem | 13:49:23 |

 K900 | Another alias issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/236828 | 11:43:39 |
| K900 | And another one: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/236833 | 12:14:26 |

knowing that Scaleway has https://www.scaleway.com/en/hello-m1/ and an open source funding program (https://www.scaleway.com/en/about-us/open-source-program/):
It this something the nix org (or ofborg) could apply for? okay so...
problem: we need more aarch64-darwin builders for ofborg
scaleway provides apple m1 hardware and has a open source funding program.
unfortunately, I've heard scaleway does not longer respond to the OSFP.
couldn't the nix macos fund (maintained by domen) which has a balance of almost $10k as of right now, just pay for some? 👀
https://opencollective.com/nix-macos
or is the issue more about the lack of folks who could maintain and update $amount of apple m1 builders?

 VladimÃr ÄŒunát | Technically it's surely possible to take some from hydra.nixos.org. | 11:58:58 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | * Technically it's surely possible to take some from hydra.nixos.org and use it for ofBorg instead. | 11:59:12 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | But usually we can keep them busy in there, too. | 12:00:44 |

I'm all for it, ideally hetzner since it's the cheapest Hetzner doesn't have apple hw anymore it seems | 17:39:40 |
| @domenkozar:matrix.org | Oh wow, that's new to me. Hopefully they will offer m2 soon. | 17:44:26 |
| @domenkozar:matrix.org | Seems like scaleway allows 1 mac per customer | 17:48:24 |
| VladimÃr ÄŒunát | Well, NixPkgs has lots of users ;-) | 19:06:42 |

Seems like scaleway allows 1 mac per customer we could try contacting their support asking for an quota increase I guess? maybe?
excerpt from https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/console/my-account/reference-content/account-quotas/
To increase a specific quota, you must contact our support team.

| emily | how many aarch64-darwin builders do we need though?
I wouldn't be surprised if buying them directly from apple and throwing them in some colocation would be cheaper 👀 | 15:31:41 |

 cole-h | I'll take a look at that after https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg/pull/645. | 17:34:27 |
| cole-h | FYI: redeploying ofborg to pick up the above PR, please report any weirdness you may notice :) | 17:34:53 |
