 matthewcroughan | -.- | 18:14:00 |
| matthewcroughan | so much code | 18:14:09 |
|  mjolnir banned  @jykrwn_bot:matrix.org (disagreement). | 20:28:22 |
 siraben (he/him) | so i built a nixos iso completely with uutils-coreutils | 23:39:54 |
| siraben (he/him) | revealed an issue with their mv, minor but does mean you have to reply to a prompt at boot | 23:40:13 |

 amaan | would be very cool | 03:15:46 |
| amaan | Wonder if anyone here has interest in s390x support.. | 08:41:17 |
 K900 | I mean if you're offering hardware | 08:43:21 |
| amaan | i only have a 2 core vm to work with, ibm does give them out for free for oss projects so you could apply for one too | 08:44:00 |
| K900 | I mean | 08:44:08 |
| K900 | Yeah | 08:44:09 |
| K900 | That's kind of the problem | 08:44:12 |
| K900 | We probably need, like, at least a full rack to get to reasonable Hydra coverage | 08:44:26 |
| amaan | it isn't terrible @ 5.2ghz but it's still 2 cores | 08:44:27 |
| amaan | yeah | 08:44:30 |
| K900 | I don't even know | 08:45:55 |
| K900 | How many cores a single rack can have these days | 08:46:08 |
| K900 | The last s390x I've had the questionable pleasure of using was a ... z10? | 08:47:10 |
| amaan | think the one i have access to is z15 | 08:49:16 |
 Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | iirc there's no support for alpha in nixpkgs. Not having hydra isn't a total dealbreaker, Audrey and I developed much of NixBSD both native and cross with just our own machines | 15:55:15 |
| Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | If someone does write alpha support please merge it, I looked at it once and dis ome work but got bored before I made a PR, so noe veryone has to do it again | 15:56:20 |
 Puna | i might do sparc64 eventually, when powerpc64 is further along and i have to worry less about other things. scored a sun ultra 2 + monitor when my uni dissolved their sun pool | 16:05:57 |
 Alyssa Ross | Are toolchains actually going to keep supporting these dead architectures? | 16:06:50 |
| Puna | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 16:07:09 |
| Puna | as long as there are ppl willing to chip in with code & testing, maybe? | 16:09:43 |
| Puna | more willing than for itanium at least | 16:10:01 |
 Aelin | considering GCC only dropped Itanium like last year I wouldn't worry about sparc64 | 16:10:13 |
