 Anderson Torres | * > Principle Of Least Astonishment
> As FreeBSD evolves, changes visible to the user should be kept as unsurprising as possible. For example, arbitrarily rearranging system startup variables in /etc/defaults/rc.conf violates POLA. Developers consider POLA when contemplating user-visible system changes.

 John Ericson | hmm maybe | 02:40:43 |
| John Ericson | not sure | 02:40:44 |
 rhelmot | I think a more compelling proof is some of the stuff that they have kept around for compatibility | 02:41:54 |
| rhelmot | There are versions of syscalls which are compatible with FreeBSD 9 at least | 02:42:13 |
| rhelmot | Like the name is xxxxxx_compat9 or something | 02:42:34 |
| rhelmot | https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/kern/syscalls.master | 02:53:49 |
| rhelmot | Oh oops this one is much more obviously compelling https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/kern/syscalls.c | 02:59:54 |
| rhelmot | Based on the descriptions of the former I think you can turn off compat but it’s an opt out situation | 03:01:00 |

 dramforever | i got myself a yeelong 8089d laptop with a loongson 2f (mips) cpu in it | 16:33:53 |
| dramforever | i know i'm over a decade late but has anyone got anything remotely related (8089d, yeelong, loongson 2f, mips64el) running nixos and have some public code that i can take a look? | 16:36:21 |
| dramforever | hmm there's a fuloongminipc example target | 16:37:40 |

Based on the descriptions of the former I think you can turn off compat but it’s an opt out situation the generic kernels include all the compat options, only the most intense of space-scrounging hackers would disable them, is our understanding | 18:03:24 |

i know i'm over a decade late but has anyone got anything remotely related (8089d, yeelong, loongson 2f, mips64el) running nixos and have some public code that i can take a look? amjoseph was running nixos on their mips routers, not sure if any of their stuff is public somewhere though | 13:49:12 |
| Puna | i.e. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237815#pullrequestreview-1480601740 | 13:49:45 |
| Puna | * mentioned in i.e. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237815#pullrequestreview-1480601740 | 13:50:08 |
| dramforever | that's cool | 13:56:12 |
| Puna | seems like they're using https://git.sr.ht/~amjoseph/ still, but no configs there. you could maybe shoot them a message/mail? | 14:04:42 |
| dramforever | idk what i'd ask by now because this is mostly working lol | 14:23:26 |

 raitobezarius | is it a systemd based nixos? | 15:15:50 |
| raitobezarius | wow | 15:15:51 |
| raitobezarius | how much disk do you have there? | 15:15:56 |
