This is your monthly dose of sysadmin meeting minutes! More coming next week, for people really into that stuff...
And here's the extra! # Roll call: who's there and emergencies all hands present # Express check-in How are you doing, and are there any blockers? Then pass the mic to the next person. # Server decision - decisions - 3 supermicro servers instead of 2 lenovos (amd, newer arch, but lower single threaded performance) - converging over those specifications: - memory: 128GB DDR5 4800 ECC - CPU: EPYC 4484P - disks: - 2xM2 2TB - **2x2.5" 8TB** (this is larger than the current specs) - frame/board: supermicro AS-1015A-MT - which colo? - graber's personal colo? - next steps - questions for graber - space for 3U? - can we go when he's on holiday? - get numbers from elco: - ETA - price - ask for 2 different brands or batches of disks? - make sure to double the size of sata disks (see above) - get approval from accounting using elco and HIVE numbers - decide on which colo - order from elco, shipping to colo - draw the rest of the fucking owl # RFC to ADR conversion Short presentation of the [ADR-100 proposal](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/policy/0100-adr). Feedback: - good change - good to separate things in multiple documents - should they be mutable? - anarcat worried about losing history in the object-storage RFC, but lelutin doesn't feel that's an issue - lavamind would prefer to keep proposals immutable, because it can be hard to dig back in history, could be overlooked if kept only in git, feels strange to modify RFCs, worried about internal consistency - ADR process includes a "superseded" state next steps: - keep ADRs immutable, apart from small changes - two more ADRs for deliberations and comms - file all of those together? # long term (2030) roadmap - review the tails merge roadmap - what's next for tpa? postponed to December # Next meeting In two weeks, December 1st. -- Antoine Beaupré torproject.org system administration
