16:33:15 <leonardus> Note: It is recommended to use JSON RPC where such alternatives exist, rather than the following methods. For example, the recommended way to get a node's height is via the JSON RPC methods get_info or get_last_block_header, rather than get_height below.
16:33:16 <leonardus> Why?
16:35:59 <m-relay> <v​tnerd:monero.social> I have no clue, you may have to dig into who wrote that to find out why
16:36:31 <m-relay> <v​tnerd:monero.social> Json-rpc is a pain server side when attempting domless parsing, that's for sure
16:37:18 <m-relay> <v​tnerd:monero.social> My best guess is that someone assumed the non json-rpc endpoints would eventually be deprecated/removed
17:21:40 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If it turns out that there is no reason, i can remove that line
22:37:46 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> gingeropolous: I know there's a MRL supercomputer and all but does Monero have access to a macOS CI?
22:38:17 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Apple Silicon, official Apple hardware
22:39:06 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I'm sure one could emulate Apple Silicon and possibly even with a macOS guest, but that isn't satisfactory to my inquiry here unfortunately
22:39:16 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Monero project should stop building monerod on apple silicon all together. Let's instantiate Apple racism
22:39:32 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> but on a more serious note, the MRL cluster do not have Apple ARM hardware no
22:39:45 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> macOS in macOS would be fine though
22:40:06 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Yes
22:40:07 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Boo. I have a 7-8hr CI (estimate) that GH is killing after 6h.
22:40:32 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I would've asked if I could have a weekly run or so gifted to me.
22:40:44 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Not sure if apple silicon hut macstadium sponsors a (iirc) macmini
22:41:08 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> which year
22:41:17 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> if it was within the last 3 years it's likely ARM
22:41:36 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> No clue, i probably lost the login for it as well, but its aarch64
22:41:50 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> so apple silicon
22:41:57 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Then it's Apple Silicon.
22:44:29 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Fwd'd to chatgpt for confirmation
22:44:41 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> (/s)
22:44:42 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> GH is giving me 3 threads of a m1, which is a macOS guest on a macOS host. I'm only using a few GB of RAM, if that. My job takes ~8hr however, so while it isn't a resource hog, it's a time hog. I'd love if someone who handles dev ops and already has a macOS CI available (and consistent) would donate me a weekly run of a specific job.
22:45:10 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Oh thank God, I had already started writing a snarky comment on the imbecility of the modern internet
22:45:44 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I should have waited before adding the /s
22:47:13 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I am willing to port my CI/have it literally post a Matrix message to confirm the result (I don't need a dashboard or specific CI integration). I just don't care to rent a server myself and if I'm outsourcing, need a trustworthy enough host 😬
22:47:24 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Can you run the ci locally on the macmini? Or does it need to be setup/integrated ad a runner on github? I dont think it's setup to be used for ci atm, just local testing
22:47:28 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> "if I'm outsourcing" I'm begging, let's call a spade a spade.
22:47:38 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> :p
22:48:15 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> just setup vnc on the macmini and post the credential in this cha
22:48:30 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Ive fwd'd the request to the ceo's and atp jus making small talk until i hear a response
22:48:31 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> security/1000
22:48:33 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> *this isn't actually that important. I'm not pleading or desperate. If Monero does have such a CI and can make space for a specific Serai job, it'd be appreciated :) Else, I'll rent hardware or just manually ask a friend to spot check it once a month.
22:48:54 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I need root and no firewall SyntheticBird:
22:49:15 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> alright
22:49:16 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> proposal
22:49:22 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Can you set the password to "password"? It's so obvious, no one tires it anymore!
22:49:31 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> instead of remotely getting root on the macmini, and since you can't get a macmini to your place
22:49:37 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> how about moving out to where the macmini is
22:49:49 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> No, because thats already the password
22:49:57 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> But yeah, just publicly post the root:password@ip -p 443 here and I'll get to it!
22:50:18 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I can get a Mac mini to my place if you ship me one.
22:50:56 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I have a ship but no macmini
22:51:00 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sorry
22:51:16 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> *I actually had a m1 Air, which I got years ago to confirm something's premise, and then never used. I donated it when the m3 was new to a friend who was looking at buying a used m1, due to needing a new computer and affordability, as mine was just rotting at my place.
22:51:26 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> And yet now I need to confirm the premise of something again 😬
22:51:42 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> which also means I'll simply beg who I gave it to if necessary :p
22:55:03 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Alternatively, I can accept donations in the forms of accelerating qemu-system-aarch64 with the TCG backend on an Apple Silicon host by 33%. Then my GitHub CI won't time out.
22:56:07 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> (I can't use hvf, hardware-accelerated virtualization, because Apple Silicon doesn't support nested virtualization until the m3, it's quite annoying)
22:56:08 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> how about paying github
22:56:16 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> why don't you give your money huh
22:56:44 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> iirc pro ci have more time and options
22:57:17 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> How about migrating off of GH?
22:57:32 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> They recently announced, and then backtracked on, charging people for self-hosted runners 😭
22:57:34 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> ethics you said, i don't what this word mean
22:57:35 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> To what, codeberg :P?
22:57:45 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> On private repos*
22:58:00 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> While I can respect the legacy, userbase, and free utility, I don't believe I want to give GH my money at this time.
22:58:02 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i prefer having an official monero forgejo instance that having to deal codeberg staff
22:58:05 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Theyve always charged $ for anything they cant steal
22:58:26 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Besides, my CI is single-threaded and can't be multi-threaded. That creates weird pricing for it.
22:58:47 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If they cant train ai on youe repos, you gotta pay
22:59:02 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Like, I don't need a bigger machine. I could use a smaller machine. I just need more time, but time is costly.
23:01:00 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> If I am reading this correctly, GH would charge me $28.80 a run.
23:01:35 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Actually $29.76. It's 6.2c a minute under the new pricing model, and I have an 8h run.
23:02:27 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I don't see why I wouldn't simply rent a machine for a month to schedule onto at that price.
23:02:46 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Or why I wouldn't buy a m1 mini from idk, Walmart
23:02:59 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> Pays for itself after 15 runs?
23:41:42 <m-relay> <d​atahoarder:monero.social> buy an M1 mini, used. it's what I replaced my CI aarch64 runner
23:42:06 <m-relay> <d​atahoarder:monero.social> though I have some linux VMs on it for CI, also runs macOS for manual tests
23:42:23 <m-relay> <d​atahoarder:monero.social> it really works fine, and M1 should be quite cheap nowadays
