<wingo_>evening
<wingo_>hey it's a civodul
<civodul>yup!
<dsmith-work>wingo_: The other day I got master test-out-of-memory failing for me. 64bit. "Bad GET_MEM arg" Which is a libgc message.
<dsmith-work>Magically seems to have gone away though.
<dsmith-work>That message happens when the requested allocation is not a PAGE_SIZE multiple.
<wingo_>dsmith-work: yes, let me find that
<wingo_> https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/pull/36
<wingo_>it's somewhat hard to hit
<wingo_>libgc is nasty in many ways and adding more macros is terrible, but i guess one can't demand elegance out of a gc
<civodul>heheh :-)
<ijp>I dunno, apparently some sewer systems are impressively engineered
<wingo_> https://www.crowdsupply.com/kosagi/novena-open-laptop looks very nice
<civodul>that's the one Appelbaum mentions in his keynote IIRC
<davexunit>yes, it is.
<davexunit>now the big question: buy just the board (much cheaper), or the all-in-one desktop (more hacking goodies)?
<dsmith-work>That display must be heavy. Looks like it has hydraulic lifters on it.
<civodul>davexunit: ships in 8-9 months though
<civodul>the wooden one is beautiful
<davexunit>civodul: yeah, it's quite the wait.
<davexunit>also, there's apparently an ARG (alternate reality game) going along with this.
<davexunit>in the video, bunnie is talking in front of a tv. the tv displays some text for just a few frames.
<davexunit>the text is base64 encoded URL - crowdsupply.com/novena-puzzle
<civodul>oh?
<davexunit>I'm a sucker for a good ARG.
<cluck>bunnie has done a few neat hacks, he knows his stuff, that laptop will probably be an asset to anyone doing hw (probably not the best choice for your average road warrior though)
