To all Garnix users: NixCI is very similar so I'd like to welcome you to try it out.
Demo: https://nix-ci.com/demo
Comparison: https://nix-ci.com/comparison/garnix
I don't mind self hosting the workers (because my use cases are just in my homelab) but I need to contact you for that? Why isn't that just openly documented?
> The name Nix is derived from the Dutch word niks, meaning nothing; build actions do not see anything that has not been explicitly declared as an input
From page 81 of the original paper: https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/nspfssd-lisa2004-final.pdf
So garnix would be the total and utter nothing.

I don't remember all of the details, so if you're curious you should watch the talk. :)
But IIRC the main points that differentiated this new effort from the old one were that (1) there was buy-in from the very top of the company, (2) they took a more incremental approach where the old one was more all-or-nothing, and (3) they tackled the edge cases and hardest repos first.
The talk includes some info about the failings of their first effort as well. It's worth a watch.
Now I have two CI providers to replace by the end of the Quarter
Sigh
I would have thought this would be a commercially viable business.
Such a bummer.
