bcooksley added a comment to T6080: snap, flatpak or appimage package for Skrooge.

Space isn't too much of an issue on cdn.kde.org:

Filesystem                Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1                  1.9T  1.2T  631G  65% /
none                      492K  4.0K  488K   1% /dev
/dev/mapper/vg0-archives  4.9T  1.6T  3.4T  32% /srv

We just have to ensure that they are expired in a reasonably efficient manner (and with some kind of sensible naming convention that is scalable). Discussing how to implement all of this is probably best done elsewhere though rather than here.

Problem solved going forward I guess, but what do we do about those who are already members?

Hmm, I thought Donorbox had functionality to record that - https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/ask-donor-subscribe-mailing-list?

Are we able to get a CSV of people and their email addresses out of Donorbox that have ticked a box to receive quarterly updates?

Sorry it looks like you created a generic task not a Sysadmin task, so this went nowhere.

bcooksley added a comment to T16931: Plasma 6 Campaign: Online Demo.

Most virtual machine hosting providers don't provide any GPU compute capacity by default (in fact all 5 of our CI nodes just have a basic VGA adapter with no 3D capabilities at all) which I imagine won't make for a very good user experience with this demo.

bcooksley added a comment to T16410: Formalizing a process for adding/removing services to KDE's infrastructure?.

We've usually kept the KDE e.V. out of governance matters, so not sure it is a good idea to require that a KDE e.V. member supports infrastructure proposals.
Having Sysadmin buy-in / approval definitely makes sense as something may look awesome but actually not be practical to deploy.

The maliciously built binary is why we wouldn't sign them - in that case all we have done is provide hosting for the binary, but no actual legitimacy.

There are two different sets of expiry times we're referring to here i'm afraid:

  1. Being the job timeout (which is what you've referred to) - being the maximum amount of time the job is allowed to run for
  2. Being the artifact expiry time (which is what I was referring to) - being the maximum amount of time Gitlab will keep the artifacts of a given CI job around before it schedules them for deletion.

For the cache and artifact folders, you can use:

  • KDECI_CC_CACHE=C:/Gitlab/Caches/krita-windows/
  • KDECI_CACHE_PATH=C:/Gitlab/Artifacts/krita-windows/

We won't be supporting stable-kf6-qt6 until that is a thing, but kf6-qt6 can be supported.
