<gasc>Gooberpatrol66: , sneek: I have read the logs, I will be trying on my machines. <sneek>Welcome back gasc, you have 1 message! <sneek>gasc, Gooberpatrol66 says: it would be useful to boot hurd on all your machines and record what works and doesn't <gasc>Tried 2 machines, one get's to grub but won't pass that point, the system freezes; the other don't even get to grub. Those are mother ones 8gen <gasc>With more time I will be trying more machines, for now I will focus on the usb drivers <gasc>sneel: later tell Gooberpatrol66: I have tried the 8gen intel (i3 and i5) read the logs of the chat. I will look more deeply on the machines that at least boot. Debian Hurd Netinst iso tested. <gasc>sneek: later tell Gooberpatrol66: I have tried the 8gen intel (i3 and i5) read the logs of the chat.

Debian Hurd Netinst iso tested. <apzhyn>Hi, I'm interested in working on firmware loading support for DDE-glued drivers (libdde_linux26) looking into adding a request_firmware shim. Has anyone started this or is there existing scaffolding I should look at before duplicating work? <youpi>apzhyn: nobody has worked on it afaik, but I'd recommend rather work on support in rump, since we'll throw dde as soon as possible <apzhyn>youpi: does any rump driver work exist yet? <sneek>Welcome back gnucode, you have 1 message! <sneek>gnucode, diegonc says: no joke, I'm truly confused why would /dev/null could throw such error or if it is a red herring <gnucode>sneek later tell solid_black apparently Kent Overstreet is encouraging engineers to help him convert bcachefs to rust. You've definitely got the skillset to be useful to him. Phoronix has a new article about some recent updates in bcachefs. Kent's answers to everybody's questions in the forums was super interesting. <gnucode>that's good. I found myself saying yesterday that I was completely in love with life. I guess Dr. Joe Dispenza's class "Breaking the Habit of being yourself" is working in me. <gnucode>also, I'm going on a bit of a computer device fast for a week. I'm still defining what that fast will look like...but essentially the only computer that I will use will be my Hurd machine and the computer that I have to use at work. <gnucode>I have been using my personal nextcloud instance to manage my calendar. It would be really nice to have a way to edit that calendar via the Hurd. I know that Emacs has a way to sync those calendar items via org... I think it's called org-caldav.el <gnucode>but I would prefer a GTK+ or Qt program... <gnucode>And I really should try to install guix on Debian. guix home seems sooo awesome. <gnucode>sneek later tell apzhyn the rump drivers are fairly interesting. rumpnet and rumpssd work just fine. rumpnet + pfinet seems to me to be a bit slow on real hardware. I'm getting 10 - 50 K/s per second. But with rumpnet we can use more recent hardware. <gnucode>also, apparently rumpdisk could be tweaked to support nvme drives. You just need to modify some NetBSD makefile stuff. <sneek>apzhyn, gnucode says: the rump drivers are fairly interesting. rumpnet and rumpssd work just fine. rumpnet + pfinet seems to me to be a bit slow on real hardware.
