 @accelbread:matrix.org | Sorry if this is off-topic, but are we able to get a matrix channel for specific nix-community repos? I see some have channels under Community | 16:27:43 |
 K900 | You can just create one | 16:29:04 |
| K900 | And ask for it to be added to the space | 16:29:07 |
| @accelbread:matrix.org | Doesn't it have to be created in NixOS org though? I don't have permissions to create one | 16:30:19 |
| @accelbread:matrix.org | Not sure if I'm misunderstanding matrix | 16:31:47 |
| K900 | No | 16:31:49 |
| K900 | Rooms aren't really tied to servers | 16:31:56 |
| K900 | If you want a :nixos.org room alias, one can be added later | 16:32:03 |
| @accelbread:matrix.org | oh, nice, thanks! | 16:32:50 |
| @accelbread:matrix.org | Created #flakelight:matrix.org, could this be added? | 16:36:44 |
| K900 | #Nix Matrix Suggestions | 16:37:26 |
| @accelbread:matrix.org | Oh, thanks | 16:37:44 |

 fgaz | Mic92: What about using some of these while we wait for a RISC-V machine that's suitable for the rack? | 13:25:44 |
| Mic92 | fgaz: sounds acceptable pricing wise | 13:29:20 |
| Mic92 | Next weekend I want to finish the new nixos wiki infra, but I'll play around with this hardware when I get the chance to. | 13:31:43 |

Mic92: What about using some of these while we wait for a RISC-V machine that's suitable for the rack? I'm not the right person to answer but davidlt in #riscv:fedoraproject.org has a few reasons why these cores from Alibaba are not up-to-the spec and are best used for test builds instead of actual builders. | 13:35:52 |
| K900 | AFAIK those cores are also dog slow | 13:37:42 |
| Pratham Patel | As are the ones in the VF2 too | 13:39:44 |
| Pratham Patel | compiler optimizations are not upstream yet afaik | 13:39:59 |
| Mic92 | Are they are any cores, that are not slow for riscv64? | 13:40:56 |
| Pratham Patel | They compare to the ARM Cortex A55 cores if my memory serves me right | 13:41:01 |
| fgaz | As far as I know they are slower than the sifive cores in compilation workloads, but it's not like this is a permanent solution | 13:41:01 |
| fgaz | * As far as I know they are slower than the sifive cores in compilation workloads, but it's not like this is a permanent solution anyway | 13:41:19 |
