the alternative is to figure out & fix all of the endianness issues in glslang, spirv-tools, and spirv-llvm-translator, and then check if mesa's mesa_clc tool still has any parsing issues. which sadly takes alot more spoons than i can allocate to this rn | 14:18:25 | |
| i'll see if i can get https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/480841 ready this week - that'll at least further document in one of these packages that parsing on non-LE is just messed up | 14:22:02 | |
| I mean that's not my concern really | 14:33:46 | |
| I just really don't like the nixpkgs side implementation | 14:33:51 | |
| At least I think we should flag every package that's known broken on BE as such | 14:34:08 | |
| And then maybe hoist the conditionals somehow | 14:34:18 | |
| Which sucks | 14:34:21 | |
can mark those packages as broken, but i think we had smth (at the very least a preference maybe?) against making features of thing depend on whether other things are marked broken, cus it'd randomly flip stuff on n off? so the condition in mesa would still p much be platformOpenCLWorks = stdenv.buildPlatform.isLittleEndian or smth like that | 14:43:02 | |

| the G5 was compiling all through the night. Managed to bootstrap gcc, and is now on python | 09:19:31 | |
| I need to put a power meter on it, to see how much power it guzzles. Exhaust is not as hot as I expected, though | 14:17:15 | |
| I suppose that's what happens on old machines, a full FreeBSD bootstrap to stdenv takes only a few hours on my VM | 14:24:07 | |
| dunno how accurate this is, but apparently the windfarm module exposes current & voltage data of the cpus https://github.com/techflashYT/g5-power-draw-linux | 14:25:07 | |
| 14:25:28 | |
| which checks out compared to this blob post where someone put an external watt-meter on their g5 https://lowendmac.com/2025/so-how-much-power-does-a-power-mac-g5-really-use/ | 14:26:37 | |

| "blob post" lol, blog* | 14:46:38 | |
| interesting | 14:55:57 | |
| my winndfarm.0 device does not have 12v surrent sensor devices | 14:56:13 | |
| * my windfarm.0 device does not have 12v current sensor devices | 14:58:20 | |
| 14:59:01 | |
available things in there depend on the machine model i think… i don't have cpu-power-* on my end, maybe that has smth useful? | 15:47:25 | |
* available things in there depend on the machine model i think, there's abunch of different windfarm submodules for handling the differences there… i don't have cpu-power-* on my end, maybe that has smth useful? | 15:48:44 | |
| I will investigate it for sure. | 15:52:39 | |
