frankly i find a lot of the infrastructure present on modern linuxes to be kind of silly
<midfavila>
at least for desktop use

how i can mount efivar to use efibootmgr?
<asimovc>
dont work the command in wiki
<midfavila>
nmtui is user-friendly i suppose but i've never gotten anything even slightly sophisticated working with it
<asimovc>
mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/

asimovc: we're not going out looking for bugs in all the software. usually it's the responsibility of the software upstream to make a new release to fix a bug, and we'll package that. otherwise, it takes someone like you to tell us there's a bug needing a patch, otherwise we won't notice

midfavila: dilyn stopped BDFLing when dylan returned, and didn't then start again. so we've had a few lead maintainers since then

hrmmmmmmm

might finally have a lead on making a real disk image now...
<midfavila>
crazy idea but
<midfavila>
to test things i might try to graft alpine onto the uconsole
<midfavila>
honestly, working on a KISS port to the uconsole feels like programming with athena for the first time all over again...
<midfavila>
not enough docs and what docs there are are scattered all over the place, out of date, and poorly written
<midfavila>
neat project to maybe bring up on a CV tho

man i have no idea why arch's PKGBUILD scripts are so insane
<midfavila>
or, at least, this one guy's for the r01 kernel is
<midfavila>
not like, insane because it's a complex job, just insane that it's written so verbosely. three layers of internal functions just to compose a command that boils down to make -jX CROSS_COMPILE=target ARCH=arch
<midfavila>
theres an entire function that does nothing but prepend its first arg to PATH. like
* midfavila
squints
<midfavila>
ngl tho if i can smash upstream and this guy's notes together and get a process that works, i might be able to refine this into a reliable way to create community images for the r01...
<midfavila>
as is, there's only the factory image, which is an ancient ubuntu 21.04
