@whitequark What? People don't repurpose their old computers for CI?

My 12 years old desktop computer (i7 4790) is there, from 2 upgrades ago. So is my previous PC and some friend's old test machine 🤣

The steam decks are pre-production units from me and my colleagues. Only the NUCs and SBCs were somewhat bought for the purpose.

Hopefully, #ci_tron will enable more devs to share their old machines with the world for Linux testing, thus keeping it working for longer.

We made good progress on automated hardware testing in postmarketOS, resulting in being able to run pmaports changes on a real OP6T! Thanks to everybody who donated to postmarketOS or contributed their time to make this possible! ❤️

@krh Yeah.... that's why with the CI infra I've been developing (#CI_tron), we run containers directly from an initrd (#boot2container). It doesn't solve the reproducibility of results across kernels and hardware, but at least the userspace is covered!
