BPub | For Thursday: Coffee and tea are always there. And I'll bring the usual healthy snacks again. (cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, stuff like that). There are some sweets and beer left from last time iirc. I'll put the beer in the fridge in the afternoon.
The slow internet fixed itself btw. Seems to have been a bad Magenta day last time. :) | 14:08:51 |

phaer | Looking forward to see (some of) you later today!
Lots of nice new features coming up for 26.05 (systemd-in-initrd by default, optional nixos tests with nspawn containers instead of qemu, maybe even boot counting as well - and that's just from the top of my head). Happy to chat about all of them!
Maybe we could do try a tiny bit of program for the next meetup again? e.g. lightning talks on new or old stuff or a small set of issues we could try to tackle together? Lets discuss :) | 10:15:39 |

swarsel | what are the best ways to get insight on where the memory footprint of an evaluation comes from? i noticed that my builder constantly ran out of memory when trying to build one of my configurations - I then built it locally and noticed that it takes 96G to evaluate 😅 the machine has 20 microvm guests which probably accounts for some of this, but I still think that I must be using some antipatterns that increase it to such amounts ^^ | 07:10:51 |

phaer | The "Zero Hydra Failures" campaign for the upcoming 26.05 has started: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/516381 🎉
It's a shared effort to try and squash as many build errors & other bugs as possible, during the release process. 🐛
The issue description provides a nice intro as well as technical details on how to find staff to work on. I also found https://zh.fail/ useful. 📉
Posting this as there were people motivated to hack together at the May meetup. I personally will be on vacation this time 🏝️ Have fun! :) | 13:03:23 |
phaer | the simplest, most primitive thing that comes to mind is NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 which lets nix print eval stats, including memory usage. A good start to confirm whether it's microvms, could be to eval each of them separately, and/or the toplevel closure without the vms (e.g. commented-out for a moment). | 13:06:24 |
phaer | a classic time -v in front of nix eval can also be useful here.
There's some support for profiling, but IMO they are mostly useful for speed. I personally don't find the profile helps me much to understand memory evals
