 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | And that was open source | 15:56:06 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I mean look at 3d printer firmware, marlin for example, something like that. | 15:56:28 |
 magic_rb | Marlin is horrible lmao | 15:56:42 |
| magic_rb | Okay, no sorry, im out | 15:56:47 |
| magic_rb | Bye | 15:56:48 |
 hexa | good choice | 15:57:02 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | It's just an example of an independent C program that just tells hardware what to do | 15:57:09 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | magic_rb: question, if you hate everything I'm suggesting, is there anything you do like? | 15:58:25 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I wanted to try klipper | 15:58:49 |
| hexa | klipper is where open source 3d printing is today | 16:00:24 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | yeah I haven't touched a 3d printer for like 2-3 years, really, so that's the only reason I mention marlin | 16:00:41 |
 emily | btw you still need a firmware blob for the switch chip | 16:05:20 |
| emily | in re foss | 16:05:23 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | that's fine, I just want as much as possible to be FOSS rather than nothing being foss | 16:19:43 |
|  oddlama changed their display name from Malte to oddlama. | 17:42:03 |

| emily | https://microchip-ung.github.io/bsp-doc/bsp/2025.03/network_overview.html these switch SoCs apparently have meaningful amounts of upstream support | 05:14:29 |
| emily | though it seems like they're automotive stuff that I have no idea whether you can just find consumer products with | 05:14:39 |
| emily | it seems like at least one family has "normal" ARM verified boot | 05:15:02 |
|  @abyxcos:beeper.com left the room. | 14:29:45 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | emily: it looks to me like the only openwrt supported switch worth getting is XikeStor XikeStor | 15:45:08 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * emily: it looks to me like the only openwrt supported switch worth getting is XikeStor SKS8300-8X | 15:45:12 |
