[00:55]	IsambardPrince	Since Trump was inaugurated for his second term, ground beef is up 79%, electricity is up 37%, and diesel fuel is up over 250%. And people wonder why McDonald's is expensive.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	You go to the store, and some 80/20 is pushing $9 a pound.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	Remember when you were a kid, your Boomer parents went and bought a pound of ground beef for a dollar, a box of Hamburger Helper for 75 cents?
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	That's a $14 meal now.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	And your goofy Boomer parents wonder why minimum wage isn't $1.50.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, $14 for Hamburger Helper and a pound of ground beef.

[00:56]	IsambardPrince	Reminds me of that movie Vacation where they had to have buns with ketchup and mustard and no hamburger and "Helper" because there wasn't any ground beef.

[20:56]	nobody	LILO seems the least complicated among them all, it's using the old bin86/as86 intell assembly syntax just like linux-2.2 did in 90s
[20:57]	nobody	but can't be used for CD ISO boot (without el-torito floppy emulation)
[20:57]	nobody	grub-0.97 uses some GNU gas specific syntax which yasm -p gas cannot process - aarrrggh
[20:58]	nobody	syslinux/isolinux does need GNU binutils-ld specific linker-scripts - it really hurts
[20:58]	nobody	no wonder intHell decided to hide all those issues inside some proprietary UEFI-binary.blobs
[20:59]	nobody	AMD needs their ARM PSP, just to lauch some x86 real-mode bootloader code
[20:59]	nobody	it's ridiculous

[21:00]	nobody	it's easy to compile and deploy GRUB, for as long as one accepts a 100 million lines of code for binutils, gcc, autotools, perl and a thousand other things needed
[21:01]	nobody	just to assemble some tiny eltorito_stage2.bin from asm.S sources
[21:02]	nobody	modern UEFI merely shifts those things outside line of sight
[21:04]	nobody	booting from CD ISO complicates things further, some variants need some "emulation" from BIOS
[21:04]	nobody	easiest then being, emulating some 1.4MiB sized floppy, yet which linux kernel would fit onto such nowadays?
[21:05]	nobody	and i am not sure if various BIOS would emulate this correctly
[21:05]	nobody	some hard-disk emulation too exists, which maybe could be used with LILO
[21:06]	nobody	becasue LILO got no CD ISO bootcode support
[21:07]	nobody	GRUB itself is decent, but i fundementally dislike the idea to pull in 100 million lines of code dependencies
[21:08]	nobody	it's stage2_eltorito 95KiB sized bootcode for CD ISO is a tad bit larger than isolinux.bin 14KiB, but supports more filesystems
[21:20]	nobody	just found an even older version of syslinux, maybe i can get away with it _without_ GNU binutils at least

[21:41]	nobody	seems so, in worst case i may have too bootstrap NASM if YASM got some other issue
[21:41]	nobody	i already got some half-way decent yasm build inside tiny-bootstrap
[21:41]	nobody	crossing fingers... it'll have to wait until tomorrow
[21:42]	nobody	sometimes it's better to have another night of sleep for a clear mind
