Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
lupine-4 only has 8 gigs of RAM, and hence it frequently hits it's limits and starts swapping like a madman (unlike most of its cousins who have 16 gigs). This is often slowing the pipelines down even more than it would have been if we just didn't use this machine at all and let the others take care of it.
We should either give it some more RAM, or we should somehow make gitea downprioritize it (although that doesn't seem possible currently)
For the record, here is lupine-1 vs lupine-4 stats from some days with runner activity:
Lupine 1
Lupine 4
New RAM is back in stock, letsgo
bruh, I think they are using DDR4 sticks. Probably don't need any more than yet another 8gig (if we have any laying around, maybe we used everything for bicep?)
Lupine-1 claims to be an Optiplex 7040, and the manual says there are 4 UDIMM slots, each supporting a stick of between 4GB and 8GB, DDR4@2133 MHzOops, they're not the same type:
Lupine-4 is an Optiplex 5050 Micro (looked up the serial number on Dell Support) and the manual says there are 2 SODIMM slots, supporting Non-ECC dual-channel 2400MHz DDR4 SDRAM, Maximum memory 32GB
dmidecode -t memorysays there is a single 8GB stick installedWe can get an 8GB stick for about 800 NOK afaict (Proshop) if they support running at only 2400MHz, idk
I was hoping we had some of that just laying around. It's one of the weird looking ones that go in laptops, right? That means we shouldn't have been able to use it for bicep
