<samueldr>
now that y'all have had your issues with it
<samueldr>
I can maybe start getting mine together
<angerman>
samueldr: if you happen to have some spare silent 80mm pwm fans lying around, substitute those that come with the package. They can be loud.
<samueldr>
spare fans? maybe I should get on onlyfans first
<sphalerite>
hahahaha
<samueldr>
hm, are they really annoying to get to once built-up?
<sphalerite>
no
monk has left #nixos-aarch64 ["Error from remote client"]
<sphalerite>
amongst the least annoying things
<angerman>
Only under load.
<sphalerite>
undo 4 screws to get the back of the case off, then 4 screws per fan
<samueldr>
great, then I'll ignore this for now and put something on order somehow somewhen if I ever order stuff where noctua (or other recommentations) are sold
<angerman>
But then, I have it sitti next to me on my desk.
monk has joined #nixos-aarch64
<samueldr>
it'll be close to where my desk is
<samueldr>
but there's other things that are annoying around, so maybe it won't be the worst
<sphalerite>
though actually the wires are annoying because they're tied to some other stuff with cable ties
<sphalerite>
if you follow the instructions
<sphalerite>
it's really quiet when there's no load on it
<samueldr>
haha, cable ties... I haven't looked at the instructions yet, but I would have substituted for hook-and-loops straps
<sphalerite>
(and it's not just shutting down)
<angerman>
It’s pretty annoying to swap the pwm connectors with just the back plate removed. Quite fiddly and you need to remove the power plugs as well
<sphalerite>
oh yeah, forgot about that…
<sphalerite>
one thing I learned from getting the helios64 is that if I ever have the choice between a kit and a pre-assembled device, I should generally take the pre-assembled device.
<samueldr>
I actually didn't realise when I ordered that it was a kit
<samueldr>
I thought it was pre-assembled, with a tray for the mobo
<angerman>
It looks like mine has leveled out.
<angerman>
Initially it wasn’t level on the desk.
<sphalerite>
ah nice
<angerman>
Either it has dented the desk sufficiently or the metal has adjusted a bit.
<sphalerite>
or the feet have compressed a bit?
<angerman>
It was almost a full feet up.
<angerman>
As in 2mm or so. Not imperial feet.
<sphalerite>
hah
<sphalerite>
I haven't attached the feet to mine yet, since I'm not sure which orientation I want it in
<sphalerite>
or which orientation the future owner will want it in
<angerman>
Smart
<sphalerite>
(I won't be keeping it for long after my honeycomb arrives, if all goes well)
<samueldr>
and if I had an honeycomb it would be to use as a workstation, not as a glorified NAS ;)
<sphalerite>
my honeycomb will be a NAS/build server/router/everything basically :p
<sphalerite>
everything except a workstation
<angerman>
I’ve got a Mac mini for that ;)
<sphalerite>
ok I'm really confused now…
<sphalerite>
I'm setting CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN = yes and CPU_BIG_ENDIAN = no in extraStructuredConfig, yet the config script answers 1 for the big-endian/little-endian question
<sphalerite>
well, time for digging through perl.
<sphalerite>
what? 1:25am? I don't know what you're talking about
<samueldr>
sounds like a friday to me
<sphalerite>
ah-ha! It's a bug in generate-config.pl!

<sphalerite>
it would make a lot more sense to base the fan speed on HDD temperature.

how come firefox-unwrapped is not in the cache?
<sphalerite>
I think it was removed from the channel blockers because it frequently held the channel up. Not sure if that was because it took long to build or because it was failing
<clever>
sphalerite: and once again, i'm reminded of how much apt sucks, lol
<clever>
ffmpeg shows that it was built with --enable-rpi
<clever>
`apt-get source ffmpeg` gives me source that lacks an --enable-rpi option
<clever>
fail :P
<clever>
now how am i supposed to port this to nixpkgs...
<sphalerite>
clever: maybe there are patches in debian/ ?
veleiro has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<clever>
lots of junk there, but no patch file
<sphalerite>
Ke: hm, the job seems to have timed out on hydra.
<sphalerite>
Ke: I _think_ we're okay for capacity now that the thunderx machines are operational again. Not sure though, gchristensen would be the one to know.
<clever>
hmmm, but maybe h264_v4l2m2m works out of the box already....
<sphalerite>
oh and the 2a5 machines which are new
<clever>
now, how did i install nix before...

<sphalerite>
Ke: well right now lots of the hydra aarch64 machines are running idle, so if there are capacity problems at least they're not leading to a massive backlog of queued builds.
