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)
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
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.
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
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 ?
1000 annual listens?
That's likely less than 1$/mo revenue the artists get no?
Even small time musicians I know have about 1000 listens a month
Seems to me just like yt monetization partner program which required like 50€ revenue for payout and 1000 subs+approval for even enabling monetization (some time ago unsure if it's still limited for new accounts )
Unless I'm missing something it mainly just trims out mass produced content
It is similar but different to what YouTube did (which also sucked).
How many musicians do you know of that only ever released one song? This isn’t about the streaming revenue for one song (though that is how Spotify tries to frame it). There are 1000s of artist who might have even been fairly successful at one point who have dozens or more songs in their back catalog that don’t have over 1000 streams per year. Add up the lost revenue from all of those together and it isn’t about just a couple bucks anymore.
Further, even approaching the argument from how much it means per song is granting Spotify a pass that this is in any way fair to artists. Why should the top 1% of artists take even more money while the struggling musician now gets nothing?
And I want to add, that for quite some musicians, a couple of bucks can make the difference between being able to (partly) pay the rent, or not.
And those are usually the ones making interesting music. So I rather would like the trend reversed, less for the superstars, more for the unkown artists. But this is unlikely to change with these services.
