Anyone know why an eval didn't get kicked off in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/351498/commits (github ate webhook maybe? it's happened sometimes. but someone would probably want to check logs to be sure) | 14:42:39 |

virtualisation.memorySize = 256; doesn't work (it does in x86_64-linux) Afaik they have over 64GB | 16:49:30 |
| Tristan Ross | The problem is multiple things using memory, maybe it'll work with a rerun | 16:50:35 |
| loudgolem | But are flaky nixos tests fine? | 16:51:07 |
| loudgolem | I have a pr for swapspace (a dynamic swap space manager which grows/shrinks disk into swap)
And to test it I have to starve the vm to be almost out of memory, but it is occasionally failing the test | 16:53:00 |

But are flaky nixos tests allowed? It depends on what way you mean by flaky. If it fails because the builder OOM's, that's not flaky. That's just the builder being unreliable. | 16:55:59 |
| loudgolem | got it. I guess I was mistaken about the 129mb limit, thanks | 16:57:34 |
