Wed 00:34:50 │ 〖nobody〗 │ portable towards and with either gcc and of cause tinycc
Wed 00:35:20 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it too can be spawn from bootstrappable.org dependency chain
Wed 00:35:32 │ 〖nobody〗 │ little surprising, it's too a tinycc driven one
Wed 00:36:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've been hacking this almost three years, to make it work(tm)
Wed 00:36:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ who would have thought, linux-2.4 could be a real fun one still, to fork
Wed 00:37:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ no systemd, no rust, no uefi, no c++, no BS
Wed 00:37:49 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've not yet announced at LKML, maybe i should? what you think?
Wed 00:37:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ for the lols
Wed 00:40:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ depends on whether you mind being flamed
Wed 00:41:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ as that's the most likely outcome, imo
Wed 00:41:38 │ 〖nobody〗 │ flamed for what? linux-2.4 had been a decent kernel, surprisingly it still is 20years later since when it first appeared
Wed 00:42:46 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i'm not opposed to a kernel-update either, it's just i can't yet support any later version with tinycc (or other alternative toolchains)
Wed 00:43:10 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and for mentioned reasons, i have no desire, i'm in no hurry at all to upgrade to the latest greatest
Wed 00:44:11 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's not been linux-2.4 either i finally blocked at and decided to quit, it's been linux-5.9/5.10 series which was the LAST one ever picked
Wed 00:44:40 │ 〖nobody〗 │ http://tinyfront.mooo.com/docs.html#Kernel
Wed 00:45:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ for using a kernel that is not new (or as they would say, not "modern")
Wed 00:45:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and in general, refusing a boatload of "modern" things, including sacred cows like uefi and rust
Wed 00:46:22 │ 〖nobody〗 │ for that matter, it's not been UEFI mainly which pissed me off, it's the agenda to phase-out real-mode boot
Wed 00:46:53 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and, it's not been rust-lang, but the transitive dependency towards c++ compilers introduced far earlier with linux-5.8 iirc
Wed 00:48:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ hence, with linux-2.4/tinycc, at least i could salvage a powerful development host independent from this
Wed 00:52:11 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://tech.slashdot.org/story/26/01/13/194208/mercedes-temporarily-scraps-its-level-3-eyes-off-driving-feature
