 adamcstephens | this kanidm job timed out on aarch64-linux. Is this just a capacity issue, or should I expect this to get better in the future? https://logs.ofborg.org/?key=nixos/nixpkgs.376286&attempt_id=e8166195-320a-4fb7-bde6-7af6a6daa646 | 15:27:37 |
| adamcstephens | (I know this is a big ask of a job, as it builds two copies of kanidm + nixos tests for both) | 15:28:13 |
 hexa | and a day later we have 7k remaining 🤡 | 17:06:09 |
| adamcstephens | so, no, we're not keeping up them :) | 18:27:23 |
 emily | fwiw Domen's Nix <3 macOS Open Collective thing is sitting on a bunch of capital and continues to get ~$1k/month that isn't really going anywhere right now | 19:24:23 |
| emily | I was planning on reaching out to see if we could get some ofborg builders funded with that before the ofborgalypse happened, might still be worth doing so | 19:24:40 |
| emily | since after the SDK rework CI backlog certainly became #1 macOS platform support issue | 19:25:03 |
| emily | (that said, is it definitely not timing out on LLVMs again? :) ) | 19:38:55 |
| adamcstephens | * so, no, we're not keeping up then :) | 20:00:58 |
| adamcstephens | So is the question: At what point do we throw more hardware at the problem to see if it goes away? :) | 20:04:43 |
| emily | I think that's a question at least | 20:11:09 |
| emily | if there's spare money earmarked for making Darwin support better that isn't getting used on anything and slow CI is the #1 Darwin pain point then it seems like a good thing to do | 20:11:53 |
| emily | but also getting more Macs just because they're constantly failing to build LLVM and would be totally fine keeping up if they got their timeout bumped by 30 minutes or something is a bit silly | 20:12:13 |
| adamcstephens | would be nice to have metrics for per-package builds :) | 20:33:08 |
| hexa | pretty sure this is the point | 23:34:14 |
| hexa | it is no surprise that the same machines as before are overwhelmed by the throughput | 23:34:27 |
| hexa | renting would probably be https://www.oakhost.net/mac-mini-hosting | 23:35:01 |
| hexa | an M4 Mac Mini with 10C/16GB/256GB* costs 700 EUR by comparison | 23:36:49 |
| hexa | * a M4 Mac Mini with 10C/16GB/256GB* costs 700 EUR by comparison | 23:37:08 |
| hexa | * a M4 Mac Mini with 10C/16GB/256GB* would cost just 700 EUR by comparison | 23:37:49 |

| adamcstephens | We could try renting and M4/32GB from there for a couple months to see how it helps | 00:42:09 |
| adamcstephens | If we’re really getting 1K per month coming in, plenty to cover 125/month https://www.oakhost.net/product/mac-mini-hosting-m4-32gb | 00:43:00 |
| adamcstephens | How do we access these funds emily ? Does one of us need to do the purchase and we expense/draw from OC ? I’m willing to do so if it helps get this started | 00:48:00 |
| adamcstephens | * How do we access these funds emily ? Does one of us need to do the purchase and we expense/draw from OC ? I’m willing to do so if it helps get this started. Does this go through the foundation accounts instead? | 00:48:38 |

| Winter | we may be able to get Domen to give us a debit card that pulls from the OC directly, though. | 00:53:05 |
| adamcstephens | Either works for me. I can expense as long as I’m sure up front Domen will approve them. ;) | 01:05:42 |
