Yureka (she/her) | Yeah, because that is also the max env size defined in Linux kernel headers | 14:48:31 |
Yureka (she/her) | * Yeah, but also 128K or so is the max env size defined in Linux kernel headers | 14:48:57 |
Yureka (she/her) | For compatibility reasons or something | 14:49:15 |
trofi | Yeah, it's an arbitrary limit. Would be nice to increase it to 6M :) | 15:07:33 |
problems | In reply to @yuka:yuka.dev Yeah, because that is also the max env size defined in Linux kernel headers per variable that is | 15:25:41 |
problems | a different maximum applies to the env as a whole, according to the article i think? | 15:26:16 |
Artturin | In reply to @trofi:matrix.org Yeah, it's an arbitrary limit. Would be nice to increase it to 6M :) better do it soon so we can use it in 3 years 😅 | 15:30:25 |
Artturin | I saw news about the lts kernels moving to 2 years of support | 15:34:21 |
trofi | Let's try https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/9/24/381 :) | 19:30:52 |
raitobezarius | good see you in 6.7 | 20:10:32 |
Artturin | backport 😄 (i don't know how kernel backports work) | 20:12:52 |
raitobezarius | won't happen | 20:13:11 |
trofi | NixOS can always do it without the upstream blessing :) | 20:15:54 |
trofi | (but I don't think it's a good idea) | 20:16:13 |
Artturin | In reply to @trofi:matrix.org
NixOS can always do it without the upstream blessing :) yeah but we would drop support for all other distros | 20:16:13 |
raitobezarius | yeah let's keep the kernel vanilla | 20:16:35 |
trofi | Yeah, interoperability will not be ideal in any case. I wonder what limits darwin has nowadays. | 20:17:06 |
trofi | Looks like it's 256K for all vars (10x smaller than Linux) and 256K for individual entries (2x larger than Linux). | 20:54:33 |

Yureka (she/her) | In reply to @trofi:matrix.org Let's try https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/9/24/381 :) this is listed as top 1 "Hottest messages" on the lkml.org startpage, whatever that means | 18:29:55 |
Artturin | Does it even have any replies | 18:32:03 |
Yureka (she/her) | it doesn't 🌱 | 18:32:10 |
Yureka (she/her) | * it doesn't 🙈 | 18:32:12 |
trofi | Maybe I was the last one to send the patch? :) | 18:32:56 |
trofi | Or the site rates it for click counts. | 18:33:14 |
Yureka (she/her) | In reply to @trofi:matrix.org Or the site rates it for click counts. that sounds most likely | 18:36:32 |
Yureka (she/her) | third place is a rust-for-linux patchset from 2022 | 18:36:42 |

| lovesegfault joined the room. | 17:43:36 |
lovesegfault | Hey folks, will try to be reachable here for bootstrap uploads | 17:44:37 |
lovesegfault | Sorry for not having been very available lately. My entire team, except for me, was laid off/retired/left, so I haven't had any time to work on Nix 😰 | 17:45:35 |
