 Puna | made the code a little bit nicer and threw it into a separate repo. not sure if this is too exotic/niche/legacy to package in Nixpkgs, or if we care about nix branding in the firmware boot menu vs the generic GNU logo. | 10:18:17 |

| Puna | handling the image format used on CHRP machines would also be nice (IBM's SLOF has a little bit on it at https://gitlab.com/slof/slof/-/blob/b7f755248e2dcc56c02634d288e1c0ff7e0ce1c7/slof/fs/packages/disk-label.fs#L535-543 , some old IBM documentation on CHRP machines' bootinfo prolly exists out there), but i don't have a machine like that to test the results on | 10:49:34 |

PowerPC Microprocessor CHRP binding, https://www.devicetree.org/open-firmware/bindings/chrp/chrp1_8a.ps
this seems quite decent, covers the bootinfo stuff in general (sans Apple-specific shenanigans). page 21 covers the normal CHRP multiboot menu icon stuff in "3.1.6.7 ICON element" and "3.1.6.7.1 BITMAP element".

| Puna | machine's busy trying to build clang for the third time in a row, maybe this time it won't get killed after 1.5d of building due to OOM while swapping to disk…
anyway, prolly at some other time. i should pull my focus away to more job-related things for now 😅 | 11:03:08 |
|  @jonhermansen:matrix.org left the room. | 18:29:50 |
| Puna | for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/490944 (Clang just not being happy with -gnuabielfv{1,2} in platform triplets, and requiring hacks to understand what we want it to do)
thinking if it might make sense to go back to allowing -gnu on ppc64, and handing the ELF ABI version via gcc.abi, since that seems more portable w/r/t Clang… | 21:08:42 |

 hexa | as soon as you find someone else who cares | 22:30:16 |
| hexa | but you can of course create a new room yourself | 22:30:30 |
| hexa | onboarding of new rooms is currently limited by moderation capacity | 22:30:43 |
