When using my usual IDE(clion) i just use their integration https://codeassist.google/ It works fine / about as good as aistudio

I run about 1 action a day taking 18h running on 2 runners One being self hosted 24gb ram 8 core ARM vps and one being a 64gb 13900k x86 dedicated server

Now the GitHub pricing change definitely? costs more than both servers combined a month ... (They cost about 60$ together )

3 step GitHub action builds around 1200 nix packages and derivations , but produces only around 50 lines of logs total if successful and maybe 200 lines of log once when a failure occurs And I'm supposed to pay 4$ a day for that ? Wonder what kind of actual costs are involved on their side of waiting for a runner to complete and storing 50 lines of log

It sounds like you'd be better off self-hosting Jenkins. The other issue with GHA is they cap all runs at 6 hours.

Despite what people say about "maintaining" Jenkins (whatever that means to them personally) - you can set it up in an IaaC way including the jobs. You can migrate/create jobs en masse via its API (I did this about 10 years ago for a large US company converting from what was then called TFS)

What problem does Jenkins solve? When we got jenkins working how we wanted it was a giant groovy script that was handling checkout manually.

I'll likely check out buildbot or just switch to gitlab

Somewhere around 0.00004$ probably.

Nice profit margin…

Adding it to the instructions worked well for me with specific terms

Mine is zitadel

And for cloud/dedicated servers perhaps https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere

(There's also a terraform module ) And for state changes https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs Or Colmena /nixops/ and x other

For secret handling perhaps https://github.com/ryantm/agenix/ + https://github.com/oddlama/agenix-rekey

The ecosystem is in my experience very well fleshed out (7 yrs of use), as long as you don't require a knowledgebase/wiki/ up2date documentation, it's not been a issue for me since I could always fall back on Linux knowledge and just looking for how other distributions do x / how the thing itself is configured , and looking at how perhaps a existing nix module wraps that

Oh I am converted! Will try to setup system using nix instead of packer.

Nope different companies But they may colocated in the same date centers Hetzner USA is located inside NTT Global Data Centers Americas, Inc. QTS Investment Properties Hillsboro, LLC

There some hetzner resellers which accept crypto coins instead

OVH(and subsidiaries like server 4 you,kimsufi) is the pricing a bit higher but comparable (in some regions) But last time I used ovh Hetzner also didn't require Id verification, maybe they changed since then

Ionos also similarly priced didn't need Id last time I used them

OVH wants ID as well in some cases. If you're in the US you aren't getting an OVH overseas anymore to my knowledge. Although, you can get 2gbps unmetered on your servers which is awesome.

I've just been being lazy and buying a domain from namecheap and getting the VPS Pulsar (6GB RAM, 4cores), 250mbps up/down for when I do a project. one server does fine for multiple projects usually.

OVH is still grand-daddy IMO.

Confirming this is the case. OVH closed all my non-US accounts approximately 1 year ago.

> There some hetzner resellers which accept crypto coins instead

Who? I would assume hetzner would close those accounts pretty quickly.

What is their markup?

There is now also a project to run proxmox inside of Nixos

https://github.com/SaumonNet/proxmox-nixos

Nix can do it incremental U could split it into multiple derivations which get built into one package For rust there ist the excellent https://crane.dev/index.html project

Or you can also go to the extreme and do 1:1 source to derivation mapping So for example if ur project has 100 source files it could be built from 100 derivations, the language/CLI tools are flexible enough for that

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/distributed-nix-build-split-la... https://discourse.nixos.org/t/per-file-derivations-with-c/19...

Don't know tho if there any well working smart nix tools which can make it well working /efficient, in theory it's very possible, just unsure about practicality/overheads

Attic is sooo wonderful, been using it now for about 6 months on b2 as storage , with the deduplication it's freaking cheap, I'm not sure how much is cached right now but I use it for 6 systems + microvms and b2 bucket stats are

Current Files:364,529,711 Current Size:61.2 GB

And atticd itself runs on the free Ampere oracle instance

Is there a command in attic to show details about the cache ?
