<pabs3>Christoph[m]: there was someone doing that a while ago, IIRC it was called vscodium and stripped out the non-free stuff
<stikonas>I guess the biggest complication is that you first need to build electron, preferrably with ungoogled patch
<fossy>is ungoogled electron even a thing?
<fossy>anyways, there's many ways to compile vscode, some more cursed than others, but https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/vscode/template is another alternative to the gentoo overlay one
<oriansj>fossy: yes but only for brief moments on specific commits as google seems to actively break all attempts of escaping their control
<gforce_de1977>rickmasters: because of https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/issues/252 - once a made some experiments, how low can we go (with memory) http://intercity-vpn.de/bootstrap/bootstrap-usedmem700M-usedmem2x.png - and there is even more possible (this was with a ramdisk and linux) - my question is: how big can a ramdisk be with FIWIX? when we delete old/unneeded stuff during bootstapping,
<gforce_de1977>we have maybe enough space. when i read https://www.fiwix.org/news/20200324.html - it looks like our limit is 1G of RAM - i do I just misunderstand it and this is not a problem, just/only kexec into linux?
<stikonas[m]>1G ramdisk is probably fine. But we also use runtime memory for processes. So there are a few different limits
<stikonas[m]>but if I understand correctly, we should be fine
