Bon vivant, scholar, champion of the oppressed. Software engineer and community builder. My words are my own. Quotes and boosts are not necessarily my views, but something I want followers to see. Soms toot ik in Nederlands.
hyperrealAfter all, if the race to age-gate the internet was purely about child safety, we would expect its strongest supporters to be child-development experts or privacy advocates. Instead, the loudest advocates are organizations dedicated to policing sexuality, attacking LGBTQ+ folks and reproductive rights, and censoring anything that doesn’t fit within their worldview.
I've got an older gaming rig ca. 2019 with an hexa-core AMD 2600X, 16 GB RAM, an PCIe gen 3 NVME SSD that's been sitting off for a year or so.
I'll bet it can build this Rust app in ~2–3 minutes instead of the ~8–10 it takes the 2014 Mac Mini with its dual-core i5, 8 GB RAM, and SATA SSD.
Prep step checks connectivity and disrupts shutdown if it's online. This saves repeated reboots during active dev sessions or a series of jobs.
Run the gitlab-runner on a container on my Home Assistant server that's just a Raspberry Pi already always on.
This would enable decommissioning a 2014 Mac Mini I use primarily as a gitlab runner, and it's idle probably 23h 30m daily on average. 6W idle says Apple, but I observe around 10W.
Have any of you ever set up a CI runner that effectively delegated to another machine awakened on-demand via Wake-On-LAN?
I think I've got a good pattern to follow using GitLab's libvirt VM instructions. Use a prepare step that would normally start a VM, wait for IP & SSH to instead send the WoL packet… and await IP & SSH.
Machine boots using some kind of ephemeral filesystem deleted on shutdown. The run step just runs whatever via ssh.
Job cleanup schedules shutdown for 10 min later.
