The cat is not mine :(

I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

I get quite disorienting deja vu sometimes with patches, and it is always when I have seen the code (or something close to it) ages ago in another submission.

@lenary @llvm Butbucket also has the fetch the PRs thing - super handy, since it works even if the source repo is private and you cant fetch it itself.

@llvm Our bitbucket at work does not work without the refs/heads bit for pushing to a new branch. Other forges differ.

@llvm (your syntax works there only for pushing to existing branches)

@llvm hah, and that's not going to work on bitbucket. You need "git push <repo> <local branch>: refs/heads/<remotebranch>" iirc

@esmil Yeah, I know it was already possible to use something other than arch linux arm, but I kinda wanted to be on what whatever was the "official" distro to make my life that bit easier - I've got enough stuff running random/custom userlands at this point!

I got a macbook the other week, was kinda holding out to see if the distro switch was gonna happen so that I could avoid using arch linux arm :)

@dickon @pdp7 @esmil Only reason it wasn't is because there weren't usable kernels old enough to be like this :)

@esmil Same as the U-Boot and OpenSBI then. The board vendor's trees are much better, they imported the tarball as a commit on top of the relevant U-Boot release, rather than use tarball-import vendor stuff.

As an SoC vendor, you *have* to do better providing 2+ year old firmware in your SDK that is incompatible with running something other than your ancient, hacked up vendor kernel.

Go to try and debug someone's boot issue, have to recompile the boards firmware to run a mainline kernel, which effectively meant recompiling U-Boot too. Vendor U-Boot seems to need a customer compiler, that's the end of me caring about helping with that.

@ptesarik @opensuse I replied to the thread anyway. There's a few folks working on improving crash stuff at the moment, for example <https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230704212327.1687310-1-chenjiahao16@huawei.com/> , I might point some of them your blog post's way...

@ptesarik @opensuse Hmm, that's not great... I should probably go poke Torsten to resend his patch.

@pdp7 Nah, wee bit of road rash from the crash (very lucky) and nothing from the freehub breaking.

@pdp7 I think there's a chrome flag, maybe force-enable-dark, that controls this. I had to fiddle with this at one point too, where I had my windows box with the dark mode & my linux one without..

Crashed my bike (lowside @ about 25 kph) 2 weeks ago, thought my bike had escaped pretty much unscathed. Last week or so, bike started doing some weird shit, like the chain was slipping. Today, rear wheel/axle decided to become a freewheel in both directions...

@palmer At the moment, we ship a fixed version of which we only compile a fraction of the files due to code size restrictions.

@monsieuricon Unfortunately, we are still stuck with either expensive devboards or SBCs that you need to be either a) happy with running random vendor everything on, or b) okay with pulling together something yourself from patches. At least for the VisionFive 2 @esmil has a tree that's mainline-aligned, containing all the peripheral stuff that is almost-ready-but-waiting-on-dependencies, but that's not accessible to anyone other than other kernel hackers...

@monsieuricon None of the RPi-likes are particularly good in terms of upstream kernel support. The VisionFive 2 is nearly there & you can run some distros on it - Ubuntu is probably the best choice. It's a bit lacking performance wise compared to the recent RPi stuff though, but nothing else SBC-wise right now runs on anything close to an upstream kernel and is compatible with standard userland.

@palmer Perhaps I'll just chuck it into my daily CI builds because it'll probably save me hassle in the long run, but really the project needs something official.
