@cdesai:matrix.orgcdeat the same time, a user tried to flash our sunfish build to their bramble (it was just released, nobody supported it then) and managed to brick19:06:48
@withoutwithin:matrix.orgXe (xe/they)is it a bad idea to distribute a robotnix build across multiple machines?20:45:24
@danielrf:matrix.orgdanielrfMost of the AOSP build takes place in one giant derivation, so there's not a ton of benefit unfortunately. (chromium and kernel builds could take place on another machine, though, and save some time)20:47:29
@danielrf:matrix.orgdanielrfThe other gotcha would be if you're using the Nix sandbox exception to access your signing keys--then you'd have to ensure the final derivations which sign the build take place on a machine with the sandbox exception20:48:40
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldr Andreas Schrägle: "just" flash through that if you have the signed programmer, signed by the an accepted authority which would be the OEM, here google 20:48:41
@danielrf:matrix.orgdanielrfBut besides that I believe it should be safe20:48:48
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrand google's, I think for all devices except nexus 7 (2013) haven't been published20:49:13
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrnot sure about other nexus devices, but pretty sure it wasn't for anything pixel20:49:33

I do that, works fine. But what danielrf says does apply.

I didn't need that for my moto x4, back in the day
22:04:18
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrwhat tool did you use to reflash?22:04:51
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrthough motorola is different22:05:11
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrthey have the "blankflash" thing22:05:18
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrwhich I'm not sure how it is implemented22:05:31
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrwhether it's like oneplus, where the programmer is part of the tool you use to unbrick, or if it's another distinct protocol22:05:48
@andreas.schraegle:helsinki-systems.deAndreas Schräglesome windows thing, but there's also something by linaro. qms? something like that. 22:25:15
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrI never had a bricked motorola to blankflash so I can't say for sure22:28:22
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrI'm giving it 50/50 that the programmer is part of the tool :)22:28:31
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldror of the data22:28:36

@withoutwithin:matrix.orgXe (xe/they)wow it really does take a bit to build android from source lol01:39:24
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrXeon E5-1660 took ~10 hours per build for LineageOS a while back01:40:12
@withoutwithin:matrix.orgXe (xe/they)i also am using the chromium cachix stuff01:44:25
@kranzes:matrix.orgkranzesWith a R7 2700x it took me 3 and a half hours to build LineageOS 14:03:00
@kranzes:matrix.orgkranzesWith bromite/chromium cachix14:03:28
@withoutwithin:matrix.orgXe (xe/they)i think i may take the full dive plunge into robotnix later today with a pixel 5. do you have any advice for someone that is switching from an iPhone?16:24:14
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldr Xe (xe/they): luckily, robotnix shouldn't really be felt on the system once running 16:27:02
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrif you meant advice about day to day usage of the OS16:27:17
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldroh, never finished the though: so any "android for iOS users" advice should still apply16:28:32
@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldrdepending on whether or not you added google play may change these advices16:28:48
@withoutwithin:matrix.orgXe (xe/they)i more mean in things like installing google play into the rom so i can get to things like tasker, is that hard to do?16:29:12
