When I forgot that my build machine is offline and I did not pass --no-build-hook, the offloading keeps trying forever until I had to cancel the build, boot the build-machine and started the build again.
A solution could be a config option or default behavior which after failing to offload for n times gives up and uses the local builder. Is this desired at all? Setups like hydra could get problems, but for small setups with the same architecture there could be a solution beyond --no-build-hook? -- ng0
