 liberodark | * Yep KVM & IPMI are not available. | 00:31:32 |
| liberodark | * But it can be the case with HA.
But it is not the same service. | 00:32:02 |
| liberodark | * In my case I propose to provide a machine for free to help.
The hosting cost is 25€ per server.
Since we have dedicated 10 Gb lines.
Main costs are for electricity more than anything else.
On my side, i am only proposing if it can help. | 00:35:18 |
| liberodark | * It was during a discussion with Gaétan Lepage that I heard about a need for a builder.
Hence the fact that I came to offer my help on the subject. | 00:35:52 |

| liberodark | No worries I totally agree with what you say and I understand your concern.
But my concern is a drop in the quality of contributors because they would not have the adequate tools to work.

 emily | did you say you might be able to make AArch64 happen? I think a replacement Ampere box would definitely be the most helpful thing for contributors right now | 00:39:54 |
| emily | one because 80 cores is just really convenient for testing out very large builds (I preferred it over the x86 box for this reason), but also because few people have aarch64-linux hardware powerful enough to do substantial builds at all | 00:40:22 |
| emily | we're already seeing e.g. not being able to test the Firefox build on AArch64 because the community builder is gone | 00:40:38 |
| emily | that's quite painful as aarch64-linux is our second best supported platform after x86_64-linux currently | 00:40:54 |
| liberodark | It's actually in my pipeline.
But these are very expensive servers. | 00:41:02 |
