The system software isn't unbearable, but I'm still going to replace it. |
20:34 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: 'pine' ? |
20:35 |
verisimilitude |
Yes. |
20:35 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: replace with what ? |
20:35 |
verisimilitude |
That's a good question. |

Logged on 2020-08-11 16:55:56 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-08-11#1018626 << i haven't had much chance to experiment. the out-of-the-box heathen linux on that thing is ~inedible. needs a port of rk-gentoo, but this req's a working x11 and in turn a working driver for the rk graphics chipset, which apparently dun exist. so shelved. |
20:37 |
asciilifeform |
fwiw i succeeded in building xorg under my orig. rk-gentoo -- 3 weeks of manual deps massage. but useless, in the end, because no support anywhere for the chip in 'pine'. |
20:38 |
asciilifeform |
(or for that matter in my orig rk) |
20:38 |
verisimilitude |
I could settle for even Debian over Manjaro. |
20:39 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: if you find a systemd-free linux that runs on that box, plz post. |
20:39 |
verisimilitude |
I'll look at that rk issue; I seem to recall reading about something related. |
20:39 |
asciilifeform |
(under 'runs' also includes suspend-to-ram, xorg, wireless, etc) |
20:40 |
verisimilitude |
I may find myself using OpenBSD with it. |
20:40 |
asciilifeform |
lol goodluck |

~0 support for portable irons of any description. |
20:41 |
asciilifeform |
( not to mention, if you want e.g. emacs, you'll be force-fed debus etc ) |
20:41 |
asciilifeform |
*dbus |
20:41 |
verisimilitude |
I've only ever used it on laptops. |
20:41 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: it's somewhat like gentoo, but with the impoverished irons support of bsd world, and... without USE flags. |
20:41 |
verisimilitude |
I've not bothered learning anything about dbus. |
20:42 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: suffices to know that it's a poettering tentacle. |
20:42 |
verisimilitude |
Yes, it does. |
20:42 |
asciilifeform |
i.e. useless program which consumes ram, cpu, and introduces vulns, and does more or less nothing else |
20:42 |

they are part of an overall project to bring linux down to the level of mswin in every possible respect. |
20:43 |
verisimilitude |
I'd heard it was a ``message-passing system'' or whatever. |
20:43 |
asciilifeform |
aaha. |

liquishit-smearing system. |

It's amazing how software could be so bad to force others into the arms of UNIX primitives, but it happens. |
20:45 |
asciilifeform |
hardware, similarly. |

crapple for instance is selling $2-3k boxes where not only ram but ssd disk are ~soldered in~, i.e. disposable after 2-3y. |
20:46 |
asciilifeform |
still selling faster than they can make'em. |
20:46 |
asciilifeform |
picture, entire machine -- costing like used toyota -- disposable. |
20:47 |
asciilifeform |
i suspect that they could add a 0 to that price, and it'll still sell. |
20:47 |

When I began my computing journey, I don't believe I expected to grow to loathe it like I now do. |
