Note: an ARM build server would be stupidly expensive

@sir can you use an arm server from scaleway?From my understanding they're dedicated servers, but it costs nearly nothing to have one

@ivesen I'd rather not but I'm not entirely opposed to it. To date user data has never lived in any server other than hardware I own and personally admin

@sir maybe more like remote triggers so that people would provide their ARM VPS/board instead?

@sir I assumed you'd build on the arm server and then upload to somewhere else

@sir well would an arm server for building be faster than building on qemu?

@sir how many builds a day would we be talking about, really, though? I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with the scale of the sr.ht project

@brandon a few hundred builds per day. I know some people are waiting on ARM support as well so we can expect that number to grow once it lands

@sir eesh, alright. I was going to say something like "oh you could just do a cluster of RPis but yeaaah...they would melt instantly

@sir if you could conceivably emulate ARM for builds where the performance loss is worth the financial savings, I'd go for it

@sir Not sure what you consider expensive (relative to business expenses) but a ridiculous 96 core, 1TB DDR4 Cavium ThunderX can be around ~$4000 and would likely handle all your needs for a long time. Most annoying thing is actually getting current pricing and most have to be built-to-order, never in stock.

@sir If you want a rackmount box, direct from Gigabyte in the US is probably still the best choice. You can call the B2B line and get a single unit. Look for models like the R150-T62.
