●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Friday, July 03, 2026 ●● ● Jul 03 [00:00] nobody i can't assign more than 2GiB RAM to any guest OS with virtualbox, otherise it complains with an OOM even when there is 10GiB RAM available [00:01] nobody since i'm lazy, i thought keeping a win7 (offline disconnected from the internet) to spawn virtualbox VMs would work [00:01] nobody but it doesn't, because MICROS~1 sucks [00:02] nobody with qemu i cannot use hardware-acceleration on Win7, because that either needs an Intel CPU for haxm, and for AMD win8 hasn't got the latest hypervisor acceleration that is available with win10 [00:03] nobody however, normally i pick any OS the time when it's gone EOL, and received all updates without any further headache to do any [00:03] nobody and this approach too reveals often, which things tend to break, such as you can't install some specific firefox version [00:03] *\join_subline (~join_subline@x58kccsbytrv6.irc) has joined #techrights [00:04] nobody so, with win7 you can't watch youtube for example, and a few other missing things such as fully hypervisor support [00:04] nobody i don't care, my main development host that's a forked linux-tcc 2.4 kernel version for a while already [00:04] nobody i don't do any more linux kernel updates anymore either [00:05] nobody and so far the old linux kernel with a few driver updates and other patching works just fine, with recent software backported onto it even [00:06] nobody at console, because i don't give a whatever about Xorg/X11/GTK/systemd/dbus spyware either [00:06] *IsambardPrince has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:08] *IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@uax4sxi6p8jce.irc) has joined #techrights [00:08] nobody currently i'm just not in the mood anymore to do anything [00:09] nobody the salvage mission for tinycc c-toolchain support with linux-tcc kernel is done already, the system is up and running [00:09] nobody all else is just boring migration work and maintenance tasks [00:15] IsambardPrince British humor is extremely hit or miss. Sometimes it's genuinely funny (Mr. Bean, Monty Python), but often it's not (too dry). [00:19] IsambardPrince Any attempt to save Linux at this point is like trying to make it work despite itself. [00:19] IsambardPrince systemd is horrific, GNOME is horrific, Fedora is horrific. [00:20] nobody but that's not linux kernel issues [00:20] nobody and linux kernel itself got some more [00:20] IsambardPrince You can move to a different distribution that's putting work into KDE instead of letting it fall apart while the maintainers are using Windows and a Macbook. [00:20] IsambardPrince That's what I did. [00:20] nobody just as said, i've forked and patched an old linux-2.4, and moved my entire setup back onto framebuffer console [00:21] IsambardPrince None of the Fedora KDE maintainers knew why the suspend button didn't work. [00:21] IsambardPrince Because they were running it in virtual machines on Windows and Mac. [00:21] IsambardPrince And they didn't use the suspend button. [00:21] IsambardPrince When the maintainers are not "dogfooding" things like this happen. [00:22] nobody i'm not using virtual machines for my development setup [00:22] IsambardPrince "We package it and if anything breaks we don't care." [00:22] nobody i'm only using virtualbox to jail and isolute some latest linux-live.iso livesystem [00:22] IsambardPrince That's the Fedora Way. [00:22] IsambardPrince Especially on alternate desktops. [00:22] nobody because nowadays, many web-sites cannot be navigated with lynx/links/w3m anymore [00:23] nobody hence i moved the malware junk into a virtualbox livesystem, which does not persist anything across rebooting virtual macine [00:24] nobody there's zero trust remaining with what typical Linux systems do nowadays [00:27] nobody and there's too a practical way to isolate networking, with usb-passthrough for ethernet into a virtual machine i can keep the hypervisor completely disconnected from networking [00:27] nobody so the whole windoze7 linux-live.iso stuff is completely separated from my development system, there's just no networking connection nor any harddisk access [00:28] nobody the only kernel that got networking and harddisk access here, is some old linux-tcc 2.4 [00:28] nobody https://codeberg.org/aggi/linux-tcc [00:28] TR Bot compilation of linux kernel with tinycc compiler - Codeberg.org [00:29] nobody i've not yet git-pushed the full musl-libc userspace port for it [00:29] nobody just as said, i want to migrate this from portage to https://codeberg.org/aggi/tiny-bootstrap [00:29] TR Bot - Codeberg.org [00:30] nobody but it's ~500 builds to do this for, alot of effort, which is worth it, i'm must not in the mood for it [00:30] nobody for other reasons [00:30] nobody sometimes, live sucks [00:32] nobody IsambardPrince: what got British humor to do with it?
