[00:18]	nobody	after three year nonstop hacking i could sit here all night typing into $ uname
[00:18]	nobody	staring at it... a 20year old kernel pulled back into maintenance with an upt-to-date userspace spawn atop
[00:19]	nobody	with the bonus it's fully detangled from gnu/gcc/c++
[00:21]	nobody	the final production-deployment last night went rather smooth, it's been two packages only which required re-compilation
[00:21]	nobody	lighttpd missed some extension plugin modules statically linked into, and irc client mis-behaved with some linux2 abi syscall
[00:23]	nobody	that's not some ancient slackware11 or something, with such an old kernel, because i backported latest libssl and all else
[00:23]	nobody	meaning, this linux-2.4 kernel can stay connected with latest crypto libraries in userspace for example
[00:24]	nobody	it's too serving as the nat-router/proxy/gateway already with a decent iptables ruleset
[00:25]	nobody	gigabit ethernet driver support was an annoying hackjob, but finally, it's there
[00:26]	nobody	sata/ahci triggered kernel-panic for a little while, until i've found a workaround
[00:27]	nobody	of cause, it's not latest greatest, but gigabit (~100MiB/port) and sata/ssd (~250MiB/port) I/O should suffice for a little while
[00:29]	nobody	and, as a fall-back if no other driver matches hardware, usb2 is still there, at ~30MiB/s
[00:30]	nobody	in the end, the main priority had been, to showcase "free software" can actually be liberated from vendor-locking and driven by an alternative C-toolchain
[00:30]	nobody	it's such a big deal, i'm wondering still how none of my inquiries at various universities and employers yielded no response, none at all
[00:31]	nobody	because, nowadays, to my knowledge, there is no other system remaining
[00:31]	nobody	even minix transitioned to llvm/clang, for example
[00:32]	nobody	anyway
[00:32]	nobody	$ uname
[00:33]	nobody	Linux node01 2.4.37.11 #1 Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -00 1970 i586
[00:33]	nobody	$ tcc --version
[00:33]	nobody	tcc version 0.9.28rc 2025-12-17 HEAD@34eed88a* (i386 Linux)
[00:33]	nobody	$ gcc --version
[00:34]	nobody	sh: gcc: not found

[05:35]	nobody	well, officially USA departed from climate agreements, although they're THE major recipient of "carbon tax" and "carbon certificates"
[05:35]	Sompi	I wouldn't be surprised at all if most investors who buy those emission grants are based in USA
[05:35]	nobody	because the Tesla Hey Hi nonsense is rated "environmentally friendly"
[05:36]	Sompi	Yes, I know that USA is not choking its own economy with that emissions trading bullshit. Only EU is

[05:37]	nobody	well, the major EV manufacturer is Tesla, since recently with heavy competition from China
[05:37]	Sompi	Meaning that they probably also pay at least some amount of income tax to the state and federation?
[05:37]	Sompi	And that money comes from the EU citizens who just have to buy some energy to heat their homes and drive their cars?
[05:37]	Sompi	The US influence in European countries is crazy

[05:42]	nobody	looking at it from software system integration, it's not been "anti-competitive", it's been an ECONOMIC WAR for more than 20years already
