That sounds like a good first change, we can work on sandboxing more later. In any event, if one of you could PR that first commit with the full rationale (I vaguely remember there being an issue about FreeBSD having a stable enough ABI or whatever after all, but I forgot) | 21:01:26 |

| John Ericson | * https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/298849 Alyssa Ross rhelmot I separated out the freebsd13 -> freebsd in a commit, can we PR that alone, hopefully to master rather than staging? | 21:01:54 |

| 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 |
 alex taxia | In reply to @rhelmot:matrix.org
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 |
