[00:10]	TR Bot	 Never-before-seen Linux malware is far more advanced than typical - Ars Technica
[00:10]	MinceR	so, not like systemd, then
[00:19]	nobody	i've tested and patched linux-2.4 a tad bit
[00:20]	nobody	it got sata/ahci support confirmed now, i've backported one usb-ethernet dongle to it, a little grsec
[00:20]	nobody	and, almost forget, NPTL patchset rebased onto
[00:20]	nobody	and, it can be compiled/linked with tinycc
[00:20]	nobody	https://codeberg.org/aggi/linux-tcc
[00:20]	TR Bot	compilation of linux kernel with tinycc compiler - Codeberg.org
[00:21]	nobody	i've backported musl-libc onto it, and a complete userspace of most recent software versions, 500ebuilds are done
[00:22]	nobody	passed testing compile-time/cross-compilation and runtime testing with a complete self-hosting compilation since recently
[00:22]	nobody	it contains _all_ required devevelopment utilities too
[00:23]	nobody	i've begun git-tag and sign various repositories, to prepare for a TinyCC/Linux release v0.1
[00:24]	nobody	to my knowledge, nowadays it is the _only_ complete GNUish/POSIX remaining known to compile with an alternative toolchain
[00:25]	nobody	i mean it, it's not been just talking and complaining, i've forked all of it driven by tinycc and a linux-2.4 kernel
[00:25]	nobody	hardware support is decent, in comparison to other niche kernels (minix, fiwix, hurd whatever)
[00:26]	nobody	and it's fully detangled from GNU/gcc toolchain (or llvm/clang/rust for that matter)
[00:27]	nobody	the whole approach of vendor-neutral toolchain-portability is documented here:
[00:27]	nobody	http://tinyfront.mooo.com/docs.html
[00:27]	TR Bot	 docs
[00:30]	nobody	i got some runtime-performance testing data too, comparing highly optimized gcc emitted binary with tinycc emitted ones
[00:30]	nobody	long story short with regards to this, runtime performance penalty with tinycc is negligible
[00:31]	nobody	from a practical standpoint, other than posting benches at phoronix
[00:32]	nobody	meaning this, with either gcc or tinycc the complete distribution can be compiled 100% from source in less than a half a day
[00:33]	nobody	full cross-compilation support, static-linking support
[00:34]	nobody	it's portable towards either linux2 or linux5 sysv kernel abi
[00:34]	nobody	portable towards and with either gcc and of cause tinycc
[00:35]	nobody	it too can be spawn from bootstrappable.org dependency chain
[00:35]	nobody	little surprising, it's too a tinycc driven one
[00:36]	nobody	i've been hacking this almost three years, to make it work(tm)
[00:36]	nobody	who would have thought, linux-2.4 could be a real fun one still, to fork
[00:37]	nobody	no systemd, no rust, no uefi, no c++, no BS
[00:37]	nobody	i've not yet announced at LKML, maybe i should? what you think?
[00:37]	nobody	for the lols
[00:40]	MinceR	depends on whether you mind being flamed
[00:41]	MinceR	as that's the most likely outcome, imo
[00:41]	nobody	flamed for what? linux-2.4 had been a decent kernel, surprisingly it still is 20years later since when it first appeared
[00:42]	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)
[00:43]	nobody	and for mentioned reasons, i have no desire, i'm in no hurry at all to upgrade to the latest greatest
[00:44]	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
[00:44]	nobody	http://tinyfront.mooo.com/docs.html#Kernel
[00:44]	TR Bot	 docs
[00:45]	MinceR	for using a kernel that is not new (or as they would say, not "modern")
[00:45]	MinceR	and in general, refusing a boatload of "modern" things, including sacred cows like uefi and rust
[00:46]	nobody	for that matter, it's not been UEFI mainly which pissed me off, it's the agenda to phase-out real-mode boot
[00:46]	nobody	and, it's not been rust-lang, but the transitive dependency towards c++ compilers introduced far earlier with linux-5.8 iirc
[00:48]	nobody	hence, with linux-2.4/tinycc, at least i could salvage a powerful development host independent from this
