hexa | hetzner stopped offinger m1 | 14:29:08 |
Alyssa Ross | Unless we actually drop x86_64-darwin, or at least establish a norm that it's fine to completely ignore it. | 14:29:15 |
adamcstephens | yeah, i'm not suggesting we drop it, but even getting the time for the two to align would be better. | 14:29:57 |
hexa | hydras mac builders are hosted at hetzner | 14:30:11 |
hexa | we apparently pay 52EUR/mo for them | 14:30:21 |
hexa | so not too expensive | 14:30:24 |
Alyssa Ross | BTW, should I give up waiting for OfBorg to pick up this job scheduled 18 days ago? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/287727/checks?check_run_id=21435531956 | 14:30:25 |
Alyssa Ross | I'm guessing I should, but I don't really know how to tell where the threshold between "aarch64-darwin is way behind" and "OfBorg forgot" is | 14:31:27 |
hexa | the queue is >200 PRs in size | 14:31:43 |
Alyssa Ross | Is it FIFO? | 14:31:53 |
hexa | you're going to want to skip it | 14:31:55 |
hexa | yes | 14:31:56 |
hexa | also for more darwin machines we need to find someone who wants to set them up … and ideally maintain them | 14:33:03 |
hexa | the current infra team also has no control over hydras mac builders | 14:33:30 |
Alyssa Ross | yikes | 14:33:37 |
hexa | and we likely have no knowledge about their setup | 14:33:42 |
adamcstephens | there is a lot of money sitting here: https://opencollective.com/nix-macos/expenses | 14:33:44 |

Alyssa Ross | domenkozar: ^ | 14:34:22 |
hexa | scaleway has m2 pro https://www.scaleway.com/en/mac-mini-m2-pro/ | 14:35:02 |
@domenkozar:matrix.org | I'm happy to pay for machines for ofborg | 14:35:29 |
@domenkozar:matrix.org | from that budget | 14:35:32 |
@domenkozar:matrix.org | actually it's already paying for a community darwin machine | 14:35:43 |
@domenkozar:matrix.org | if someone can coordinate with infra team, then we just submit an expense | 14:36:01 |
hexa | I think that one is being well received | 14:36:04 |
@delroth:delroth.net | I mean, more capacity will help, but I can't help but think that there's a bug somewhere and it's not just a capacity issue | 14:39:50 |
@delroth:delroth.net | The Hydra macs run through a ton of builds every day | 14:40:07 |
@delroth:delroth.net | Probably at least an order of magnitude more than what ofborg should be using imo | 14:40:32 |
adamcstephens | do we know the specs of the existing machines? | 14:41:01 |
hexa | the hydra macs don't have low timeouts | 14:41:13 |
