<jab>hello!

<jab>does anybody know what init gentoo hurd is using?

<azert>I found an open source project full of bsd licensed network drivers and even nvme drivers for storage

<jab>azert: link ?

<azert>DPDK

<azert> https://www.dpdk.org

<azert>and this is nvme on top of DPDK https://spdk.io

<jab>seems interesting.

<azert>work on Linux, FreeBSD and windows. So should be portable

<azert>seems heavily developed by a few big techs

<sam_>we're using openrc

<jab>sneek: later tell azert sounds pretty awesome!

<sneek>Will do.

<jab>sam_: thanks!

<azert>youpi: regarding the discussion we had a few days ago about Unix sockets and eventfds, I feel like there would be value in pulling the socket implementation of pflocal out into a library. And make pflocal use that library

<sneek>azert, you have 1 message!

<sneek>azert, jab says: sounds pretty awesome!

<azert>while the way they are implemented now is in conformity to the standard, I feel like every process should just be able to create sockets with the semantics they want, particularly regarding lifetime

<azert>It’s already the case, of course, but that should be easy and fun

<azert>for more comples

<azert>complex things like eventfd, memfd, epolls and so on it even makes much more sense

<youpi>if we can find a way to use it, we can move the code into a library and make pflocal just a user of the library, yes

<youpi>it's just not really useful to do the work if we don't see another way to use it :)
