loongarch reminds me of longcat

loong build is loong

this is the whole thing btw https://github.com/chimera-linux/cports/commit/85b539f33a999c87c5a8b5cbf9b87db960abc8fd

then you cross-compile main/base-cbuild, and then it can self-host

nix/guix/etc users: noooo you can't just bootstrap a whole architecture in less than an hour with a bunch of python!!! it needs to be bitwise reproducible and backed by pure functional declarative definitions noooooooo

me: haha laptop fan go whoooosh

help, i'm doing things

the role of having a linux desktop to shit on has been successfully filled by hyprland anyway

@theresnotime the chat platform that sucks the least is the one that has those you want to talk to

@eloy by that logic there are no x86 computers because 10x developers do not exist

any computer can be sparc if your power supply is bad enough

i was about to buy a milk-v pioneer to replace the current riscv builder thing but then mouser took it down and i no longer feel like spending like 2k euros to get a preorder from a chinese website

so whoever obtains me that (idc how, i'd settle for the motherboard) gets their librewolf or whatever meme browser

it's called powerpc because it needs a lot of power to run

@koakuma all the riscv hardware vendors are too busy advertising bullshit-generator-capability to make something that is not grossly underperforming for regular computering

@lanodan can't spell powerpc without power

@xerz well this is mostly about riscv which is consistently bottlenecking the whole fleet

(just look at it https://build.chimera-linux.org/#/waterfall)

(also wtf is that latest riscv fail, guess i should look into that)

@lanodan i have an 80-core ampere machine and the cpu never goes over 65w

i have a 36-core power9 machine though and that's ~440w in cpu tdp alone

i should start a trade offer program

i receive: riscv/arm/ppc hardware that can make our build fleet faster
you receive: packaging of a pointless firefox fork of your choice

proper stock crash when

please, can we just forget the `U *buf; x = *((T *)&buf[0])` antipattern exists...

found yet another (notable, with lots of revdeps) project whose new release fails to build (rightfully so) under clang; subsequently i found a pull request that "fixes" the build by changing it to `*(T *)(void *)&buf[0]` that was merged by upstream

it's UB, it's wrong, it *will* miscompile and wreak havoc

just use memcpy

you will certainly not regret using memcpy

memcpy is your friend

(it also looks better)

@lanodan @shebang what you get on draft will vary in brussels but pretty much all of them got like, a variety of 5 something

there are more belgian meme beers to choose from, such as

(a friend had one in this version of the glass once and they had him leave a shoe as a deposit lmao)

@shebang i've been to fosdem like 9 times and i went maybe the first 3 times before deciding it's too loud and crowded to be worthwhile tbh

you can get good drinks in any of the two billion cafes that are scattered in the city
