18:07 asciilifeform meanwhile, in fleanode lulz.
18:07 asciilifeform ^ apparently relays moving to cloudism.
18:08 * asciilifeform coupla days ago wrote to'em again, offering a box. unsurprise, unsurprise, no answer. possibly ^this is part of why.
~ 2 hours 25 minutes ~
20:33 verisimilitude My laptop arrived.
20:34 verisimilitude 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.
20:37 asciilifeform verisimilitude: here's where i stopped.
20:37 snsabot 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
20:40 asciilifeform ~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 asciilifeform 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.
20:43 asciilifeform liquishit-smearing system.
20:44 verisimilitude 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.
20:45 asciilifeform 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 asciilifeform (because monopoly on 'the softs work 100%' + 'not microshit' )
20:47 asciilifeform ( see also. )
20:49 verisimilitude When I began my computing journey, I don't believe I expected to grow to loathe it like I now do.
20:50 * asciilifeform wished every day, for last 20+ yrs, that he had never seen a computer.
20:52 verisimilitude I'm not yet at that point.
20:52 * asciilifeform bbl.
