 raitobezarius | That can also separate impl details (GitHub) and design details (what do we want to test, etc.) | 22:42:47 |

Right now there is: 1 coordinator, 9 evaluators / x86_64-linux builders, 2 or 3 x86_64-darwin builders, 2 or 3 aarch64-darwin builders, and 1 aarch64-linux builder (that's beefy enough to run 16 builders on the same box) Do all of these machines have a shared nix store? | 22:49:15 |
 cole-h | No | 22:49:27 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | cole-h: Also not among the same platform? | 22:49:50 |
| cole-h | Correct | 22:50:03 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | cole-h: Are you currently the only person maintaining ofborg? What about Graham? | 22:54:11 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | I'm guessing Graham at least holds the root keys to ofborg | 22:57:46 |
| cole-h | Graham and I both have the same amount of permissions for ofborg (that is, full access) | 22:58:10 |

cole-h: Are you currently the only person maintaining ofborg? What about Graham? Mostly. But I have easy access to him if I need! | 22:58:38 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | cole-h: Is he responsive in your PMs or so? | 22:59:13 |
| cole-h | Yeah (if you didn't already know, he's my boss -- I work for him) | 22:59:51 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | Ahh right :) | 22:59:59 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | cole-h: If I can ask, how much time can you spend on community Nix work like ofborg and co.? | 23:01:02 |
| cole-h | "can" and "do" are different questions :P
With Baldur's Gate 3 out, less than I should | 23:03:29 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | Hehe | 23:03:41 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | cole-h: I guess, how much of your paid time is a better question | 23:03:53 |
| cole-h | I don't have a set maximum (or minimum), but I can spend my time on that kind of stuff with relatively little hassle | 23:06:31 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | Oh and who actually pays for all those machines? The NixOS Foundation? | 23:06:32 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | Sorry for bombarding you with questions :P | 23:07:17 |
| cole-h | The Linux machines are sponsored by Equinix Metal, the Macs are a mix of Foundation hardware hosted by DetSys and some machines from Macstadium | 23:07:38 |
| cole-h | (Some of the Hydra Macs are from Hetzner, but that's outside my purview :P) | 23:08:06 |

| @infinisil:matrix.org | It's interesting how we have 2 CI's for Nixpkgs but both of them suck lol | 23:08:57 |
| cole-h | IIRC, sponsored, but it's been a while since we set those up so I'm a little fuzzy on the details :P | 23:08:59 |

It's interesting how we have 2 CI's for Nixpkgs but both of them suck lol CI is hard 😠| 23:09:11 |
| Lily 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 | I think it's mainly that we lack the funding to work on CI | 23:09:53 |
| Lily Foster | Funding 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 Foster | (funding could also of course provide that bandwidth too) | 23:10:59 |
