dramforever | but it's also booting from pmon | 12:32:26 |
dramforever | which may or may not be normal for mips | 12:32:34 |
emily | yeah | 12:32:35 |
emily | isn't PMON what people use though | 12:32:38 |
emily | I guess maybe not for the MIPS machines that ran NT 4.0 or whatever | 12:32:46 |
emily | but are there even MIPS machines used by anyone in the galaxy that are not Lemote at this point | 12:33:00 |
dramforever | idk, what do you use on mips routers? | 12:33:06 |
emily | umm good question | 12:33:13 |
dramforever | well mips routers | 12:33:23 |
dramforever | that's the nornal use for mips nowadays right | 12:33:48 |
dramforever | if you're trying to use nixos on a nintendo 64 god help you | 12:34:10 |
dramforever | * that's the normal use for mips nowadays right | 12:34:25 |
emily | NixOS kernel packages are pretty useless for those since they need cursed OpenWrt kernels to be fair | 12:34:45 |
emily | Liminix just drives the kernel build itself | 12:34:52 |
emily | but yeah I guess I should see what target they use | 12:34:58 |
dramforever | oh yeah this lemote thing runs freaking mainline linux | 12:35:27 |
dramforever | at least back when 6.6 | 12:35:51 |
emily | right which is all I really care about for deciding what targets our linux builds | 12:36:04 |
