@zowoq:matrix.orgzowoqYeah, let's leave it until we have them, less churn.06:07:08
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’& Mic92: holy shit that PXE demo is soooo cool 16:07:56
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 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
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&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 delightful16:14:21

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

@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92I 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
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&yeah that particular scenario was more fiction for now but pxe booting to [re]provision a machine is already really cool16:17:18
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92It's also nice for setting up a new laptop from your old one16:18:00
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92like what macos can do.16:18:05
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&ooh yeah. shame only tb3/usb4 has the nice host-to-host ethernet device16:18:31
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Didn't know this is a thing know16:18:52
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92At least something to look forward to.16:19:05
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/component-guidelines/usb4-interdomain-connections16:19:06
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&it's quite fast too!16:19:37
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Yes. I always was wondering why they did not have this already16:20:56
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic9210GbE or more without expensive equipment16:21:10
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92but is this just windows? Also the firmware would need to support USB4NET16:22:33
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&i think it's in the spec?16:22:56
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&linux might be able to already do this with thunderbolt16:23:43
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Let's hope this gets pulled into the usually bios/efi vendors.16:24:26
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Even if it's slower speed16:24:35
@ckie:ckie.devmei πŸŒ’&mhm16:24:47
