ikwildrpepper: fingers crossed for those mac builders :D
<domenkozar[m]>
staging builds are pretty heavy these days
<ikwildrpepper>
domenkozar[m]: pfrt, are you trying to ruin my day off? :-p
<domenkozar[m]>
;D
<ikwildrpepper>
domenkozar[m]: first need to find extra power
<ikwildrpepper>

cole-h has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
<garbas>
macminis are like command there can be too much and too little of them at the same time :)
<garbas>

<ikwildrpepper>
two macmini's are dead
<domenkozar[m]>
:(
<domenkozar[m]>
did get caught COVID?
<domenkozar[m]>
they*
<garbas>
i wonder how much would the repair costs be? not official ofcourse
<domenkozar[m]>
probably easiest to tweet out 2 can now be donated
<garbas>
I have one macmini "half working" (freezes after an hour of usage) and was considering sending it to some repair shop. and than donating it.
<garbas>
maybe sending all 3 might increase chances of getting back one working macmini
<gchristensen>
they're very old
<gchristensen>
mac1 / mac9 were always dicey whether they worked or not
<domenkozar[m]>
gchristensen: btw how many aarch64 machines do we have for hydra now?
<domenkozar[m]>
the backlog is pretty big :/
<gchristensen>
varialbe based on the spot price
<ikwildrpepper>
let's first wait for the bad news from the apple event
<ikwildrpepper>
domenkozar[m], garbas: I have one replacement mac already, just need to recover its macos to disable the T2 chip
<ikwildrpepper>
depending on the news today, we might order an extra new macmini as well
<gchristensen>
oh?
<ikwildrpepper>
gchristensen: well, I meant that if they'll only have ARM mac minis from now on, it might not make sense to buy intel ones anymore
<roberth>
ikwildrpepper: I've noticed GHC times out all the time now on the macs, for jobs that haven't changed in a way that should affect performance
<roberth>
do you have any idea what might cause this?
<ikwildrpepper>
roberth: no idea
<ikwildrpepper>
dont think much has changed in the macs
<ikwildrpepper>
perhaps 20.09 upgrade of the host system
<ikwildrpepper>
not sure when that was performed
<roberth>
I've seen it work on Sep 22nd fwiw
<domenkozar[m]>
[ikwildrpepper](https://matrix.to/#/@freenode_ikwildrpepper:matrix.org) could we buy two new mac minis out of foundation money?
<domenkozar[m]>
there's catching up to be done :)
<ikwildrpepper>
?
<ikwildrpepper>
definitely getting old, no idea what to do with that link
<samueldr>
it'd make sense to build intel mac minis now if they're on the way out as they still will support Intel "for the years to come" according to the unveiling
<samueldr>
unless we know the current mac mini builders can help us going "for the years to come"
