 raitobezarius | did someone already boot a LicheeRV Nano with NixOS or similar? | 18:10:20 |
| raitobezarius | or maybe a Nix-based operating system (256MB of RAM is a bit short) | 18:10:33 |
 Alex | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
or maybe a Nix-based operating system (256MB of RAM is a bit short) 256MiB of RAM with NixOS should be possible, assuming you cross-compile it.
The default system doesn't use very much (I have a RPi3 with some lightweight servers on it running at <256MiB used). | 20:24:13 |
 artemist | It's possible to natively build nix with such a slow machine but it take a long time (bootstrapping up to lix on a raspberry pi 1 failed about 2 weeks in due to a meson test) | 20:55:44 |
| Alex | Yes, but I doubt you can build every package in the default system with <256 MiB of memory. | 20:56:39 |
| artemist | i'm using swap | 20:58:06 |
| Alex | I guess that can work if you're willing to put up with the extreme time cost of thrashing. | 20:59:04 |
 7c6f434c | NBD ramdisk swap?… | 20:59:43 |
| raitobezarius | yeah i was not planning to build on the machine | 21:00:23 |
| raitobezarius | cross compilation and go brr | 21:00:28 |

| artemist | You could also use the LicheeRV Nano in ARM mode, but that sounds boring | 21:02:03 |
| raitobezarius | it's against my religion | 21:11:48 |
| raitobezarius | but i checked out their software repo and i think the road is a bit long until i get a NixOS system entirely set up for that | 21:12:19 |
| raitobezarius | i wanted to do it with no UART, 100% blind | 21:12:28 |

|  Colin joined the room. | 13:40:09 |
| Colin | are alternative init systems (openrc, s6, ...) considered exotic nix targets? | 14:15:28 |
| Colin | or if not, where to talk with others who are using such things in nix environments? | 14:17:25 |
| raitobezarius | liminix is using s6 | 14:19:47 |
| raitobezarius | i am not so sure who is using openrc | 14:19:53 |
| raitobezarius | but i think here is mostly fine | 14:20:10 |
| raitobezarius | but liminix author is not here | 14:20:14 |
| Colin | oh, cool. i'll lurk in oftc #liminix and see what i catch there | 14:23:35 |
| Colin | i'm using s6 for user services instead of the default systemd --user for a few months now, and i do enough weird stuff that i'm thinking if it wouldn't be simpler to push that lower and not even use systemd's system service manager
