The following got "504 Gateway Time-out" when I tried them:

Both somewhat slow to load, however they do load for me.

Thanks

beefy22 is showing hte same issues. Something is tying up the builders

Just before I started my last message, all was well, but I last saw were a dozen builds in one of the "depends" states and "impulse" at 74 when I lost

I only just noticed this thread, sorry for resurrecting it.
I've noticed that beefy23 and beefy24 (2x EPYC 9254, 512G RAM) sometimes get too busy building to schedule nginx (or sshd). They eventually manage to plough through. Usually.
That causes the 504 timeouts if you're going through pkg-status.f.o. If you're going directly to beefyX.chi.freebsd.org you'll just get a timeout.
They're running exactly the same poudriere.conf as the other builders. I wonder if our calc_builders() function that tries to assign about 12G per builder isn't quite right for this particular configuration of cores and RAM.
I haven't had a chance to look closely. As far as I can tell the builds do eventually succeed. If the only problem is "I can't obsessively poll pkg-status in real time", it's not a very high priority. :)
This is on my list. It's just a VERY long list. :)
