mei π& | Mic92: holy shit that PXE demo is soooo cool | 16:07:56 |
Mic92 | ckie (they/them): pulled up in a day :) too bad my professor has now put me on teaching duty. Otherwise it would be already merged. | 16:12:53 |
mei π& | take your time! i'm imagining buildings with 100s of machines all rebooting and they go "dell pxe boot v1.5.8f432c9" or whatever and boot into a little lightdm and that's quite delightful | 16:14:21 |

- if it was combined with a p2p nix store once CA derivations are everywhere.. waoh

Mic92 | I guess when you go for big scale pxe installation you would probably setup a persistent server instead. For now the workflow is more optimized for small-scale setups where you can get something working with a single command and without having to configure a lot of different services. | 16:16:32 |
mei π& | yeah that particular scenario was more fiction for now but pxe booting to [re]provision a machine is already really cool | 16:17:18 |
Mic92 | It's also nice for setting up a new laptop from your old one | 16:18:00 |
Mic92 | like what macos can do. | 16:18:05 |
mei π& | ooh yeah. shame only tb3/usb4 has the nice host-to-host ethernet device | 16:18:31 |
Mic92 | Didn't know this is a thing know | 16:18:52 |
Mic92 | At least something to look forward to. | 16:19:05 |
mei π& | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/component-guidelines/usb4-interdomain-connections | 16:19:06 |
mei π& | it's quite fast too! | 16:19:37 |
Mic92 | Yes. I always was wondering why they did not have this already | 16:20:56 |
Mic92 | 10GbE or more without expensive equipment | 16:21:10 |
Mic92 | but is this just windows? Also the firmware would need to support USB4NET | 16:22:33 |
mei π& | i think it's in the spec? | 16:22:56 |
mei π& | linux might be able to already do this with thunderbolt | 16:23:43 |
Mic92 | Let's hope this gets pulled into the usually bios/efi vendors. | 16:24:26 |
Mic92 | Even if it's slower speed | 16:24:35 |
mei π& | mhm | 16:24:47 |
| * mei π& is reading the spec | 16:26:29 |
mei π& |  Download image.png | 16:27:17 |
mei π& | will try to hunt down another compatible machine to test with | 16:30:23 |
