I was fortunately wrong, there is a non-large variant we can use for free.

Looks like I'm bumping the bootstrap compiler though otherwise it has be disabled. See: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/issues/21986

osx-15 currently isn't possible: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/issues/21987

As for 14, I'm getting "fun" CI failures like: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/actions/runs/18582588519/job/52980300787?pr=21985

Another where github.com wasn't able to be located. Ah dns what joy.

Oh and somebody needs to remove the requirement on: "macOS 13 x64, DMD (bootstrap)" in the admin settings of dmd repo. Which I can't do.

Rikki, I appreciate your efforts in getting this fixed. Thank you!

Thank you for saying that.

Unfortunately I can't continue, there are issues that you need a M series OSX machine to fix I think.

Since I'm at the end of what I can do, I've moved on to try and speed up dmd's testsuite, and that is working.

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/21995

I'll do an update at next months meeting on what I was able to discover. Although that is leaving it a bit late.
