1. Interest in hosting a buildfarm animal

   Tristan Partin <tristan@partin.io> — 2026-04-30T18:19:40Z

   Due to a recent change in position, I am now in the position to host 
   buildfarm animals. Are there any configurations that don't have any 
   testing or enough testing? Perhaps something valgrind related? Let me 
   know!

   One silly thing I think is uncovered is whether a production
   build (*without* cassert or debug) gets any compiler warnings.
   We've so often written code that will generate "unused variable"
   or similar complaints if assertions are off, yet nobody notices
   that till well after commit.  Developers are unlikely to test
   that way, and there are next to no BF animals that do either.
