 Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | it's a ghc 5 era doc file | 21:12:59 |
 alexfmpe | it's literally a Perl script, what's the problem | 21:41:23 |
 emily | it's a literate Perl script, which is better because it's more academic | 21:41:38 |
| alexfmpe | not sure if woosh | 21:41:50 |
| alexfmpe | or getting one-upped | 21:41:55 |
| emily | oh I managed to miss the pun but I still didn't assume you were being serious | 21:42:08 |
| emily | :) | 21:42:18 |
| alexfmpe | all of the above then | 21:42:29 |
| emily | I do feel like they started writing a Perl script to mangle assembly code, realized that it was tarnishing their purely functional souls, and decided to sprinkle in a little Knuth to insulate themselves from the horror | 21:43:02 |

 dramforever | so uh here's something upsetting | 11:42:47 |
| dramforever | you can't set EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y with the nixpkgs evil linux config mangler | 11:43:07 |
| dramforever | * you can't set EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y with the nixpkgs evil linux config mangler on loongarch | 11:43:14 |
 K900 | Yes | 11:43:21 |
| K900 | On some targets | 11:43:34 |
| dramforever | i think it's only if the defconfig has PSTORE=m | 11:44:43 |
| dramforever | so for now, on mainline, exactly loongarch loongson32_defconfig and loongson64_defconfig | 11:45:24 |
| K900 | Yeah | 11:48:58 |
| K900 | It's very stupid | 11:49:07 |
| dramforever | i want to manufacture some pretext to switch all the depends on PSTORE in mainline into select PSTORE | 11:52:35 |
| dramforever | actually wait a second maybe that was the problem | 11:53:31 |
| dramforever | that is not the problem | 11:57:04 |
| dramforever | please ignore | 11:57:12 |

| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | hmm is there some kind of regression in 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 on riscv? since there systemd-udevd doesn't want to settle on my visionfive 2 | 16:12:33 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | * | 16:15:11 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | except it's fine in initrd | 16:15:33 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | huh | 19:01:38 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | i think the issue was that there was no /etc/machine-id and none could be created | 19:01:48 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | this is Strange it “worked” before | 19:01:57 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | in hindsight the logs do say “boot is not possible” | 19:05:27 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | yet it ostensibly has been | 19:05:34 |
