 Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | and no PCIe support yet (patches sent, getting merged and might be in 6.10), so can't use swap that "well" | 15:52:32 |
 raitobezarius | Yeah I have seen the PCIe circus | 15:54:22 |
| raitobezarius | That's my biggest annoyance | 15:54:29 |
| raitobezarius | Because NVMe for builders would be very nice | 15:54:43 |

For what exactly? well, fedora packaging might be crazy but something this insane might've been a need

| raitobezarius | I'd be curious which package is this one | 15:55:36 |
| raitobezarius | I wonder if this is not just a spec for speed reason rather than actual requirement, e.g. chromium linkage | 15:55:56 |

Because NVMe for builders would be very nice highly agree, but no idea how nice
AFAIK, the U74 is equivalent to A55 (correct me if I'm wrong) and haven't used an NVMe on it yet. On my RK3588, I saw a literal 100% improvement in building a defconfig kernel from the NVMe compared to when the source was on the SD Card

I'd be curious which package is this one I'm not even kidding, I'm too scared to look | 15:57:21 |

| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | the halving was surprising for me though, I knew it would be better, but didn't know that it would be by this much! | 15:58:11 |
 Steven Keuchel | is that with system or user mode emulation? | 17:08:58 |

I'd not say that RAM is the biggest deal tbf It is necessary for certain packages.
(e.g. the Zig compiler, unless that's now been updated to a less memory-intensive version?) | 17:14:20 |

(e.g. the Zig compiler, unless that's now been updated to a less memory-intensive version?) how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? | 17:17:03 |

| 17:16:32 |
| raitobezarius | just to have a rough idea | 17:17:06 |
| KREYREN ⚡️🦀 (TH1520 in Licheepi 4A) | https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/blob/master/flake.nix#L3 Is this binary cache usable? | 17:19:33 |
| raitobezarius | it'd be interesting to collect that data tbh | 17:17:10 |
 sorear | i feel like "know who runs it" is the bare minimum security-wise for a binary cache | 17:49:02 |

how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? Last time I tried to build it, it got OoM killed (8 GiB VF2), so I have no idea. | 18:59:11 |
| Alex | IIRC I also tried with a lot of swap (can't remember how much), but it thrashed and still eventually failed. | 19:00:55 |

| Mic92 | How can I bootstrap the riscv64 installer? | 19:22:18 |
| Mic92 | I got this guy here, that needs NixOS: https://github.com/milkv-pioneer/ | 19:22:33 |

For the pioneer: the sg2042-dev vendor kernel is not stable, and the PCIe support is a bit wonky which I would consider as a bigger issue at this point. But hopefully those can be resolved. Ah. do you own the hardware? | 19:24:07 |
| Steven Keuchel | Yes | 19:25:05 |
| Mic92 | What OS did you put on it? | 19:25:55 |
| Steven Keuchel | NixOS :D | 19:26:05 |
| Mic92 | Cool. What do I need? | 19:26:25 |
