| [0x4A6F] | Sponsoring maybe part of this initiative from RISC-V. | 10:20:32 |

 Corbin | Is k8s an exotic target, or is there a channel for it? | 01:07:31 |
| Corbin | I just want to read about alternatives to https://github.com/xtruder/kubenix | 01:08:03 |

Is k8s an exotic target, or is there a channel for it? I think the Cloud Native channel works better for this | 01:27:21 |
| Zhaofeng Li | This channel is primarily for Nix on weird platforms, like FreeBSD | 01:28:07 |

| Zhaofeng Li | Now RISC-V is slightly more usable as a desktop 😅 | 05:16:25 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Vanilla Firefox is buildable after a simple patch to authenticator-rs to add RISC-V support. I wasn't able to build node.js natively (stuck on node_mksnapshot) which is used in the build process, so I cheated a little bit by using the X86 version of node.js. | 05:23:22 |
| Zhaofeng Li | (also I just realized that I accidentally dropped the original patches inside the derivation, which is why I was able to go to config:buildconfig which is patched out by us) | 05:23:36 |

Nice! What platform are you running this on? It's the HiFive Unmatched | 12:37:00 |

| julianst | Nice. I have a Nezha Board and Firefox would be painfully slow ;) | 13:46:48 |

Nice. I have a Nezha Board and Firefox would be painfully slow ;) Did you buy it from the initial Indiegogo batch? | 13:58:44 |
| julianst | No, I bought it later | 14:23:48 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Nice, and now there are other D1-based boards that are much cheaper | 14:26:52 |
| Zhaofeng Li | And also VisionFive ($150) is finally coming, not dead like its predecessor BeagleV | 14:28:00 |

sent an image. is that a cross compiled system configuration? | 15:00:10 |
 hexa | firefox on nixos doesn't have about:buildconfig fwiw 🙂 | 17:13:15 |

is that a cross compiled system configuration? No, native compilation | 18:27:24 |

firefox on nixos doesn't have about:buildconfig fwiw 🙂 Yup, I forgot to add old.patches in my overrideAttrs and dropped the patches | 18:27:59 |
| hexa | your build machine must be unmatched | 18:28:44 |

Vanilla Firefox is buildable after a simple patch to authenticator-rs to add RISC-V support. I wasn't able to build node.js natively (stuck on node_mksnapshot) which is used in the build process, so I cheated a little bit by using the X86 version of node.js. (Actually built through binfmt on x86, since I did the nodejs trick 😛) | 18:30:24 |
| hexa | i'd rather have riscv support in common.nix than darwin fwiw 😀 | 18:30:59 |
| [0x4A6F] | About binfmt, how did you set this up for riscv64-linux? | 18:41:01 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Just boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "riscv64-linux" ]; works fine | 18:41:33 |
| [0x4A6F] | Doesn't work for one of my system. still investigating. aarch64-linux works though. | 18:43:07 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Do you see the binfmt_misc registrations in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc at all? | 18:44:13 |
