This is a problem for kernel development:

      src = pkgs.fetchgit {
        url = "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git";
        sha256 = "sha256-ZoxNKErtJv0U0tGUC6o4ifXrPi6ZbIxMocMA0mgnzsg=";
      };

So I guess I need to rename configuration.nix to configuration.nix.in and replace that with:

     src = pkgs.fetchgit {
        url = "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git";
        sha256 = "@KERNEL_SHA256@";
      };

Then using nix-prefetch-git https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git and sed I can create the actual configuration.nix.

Unfortunately it seems that lib.fakeSha256 cannot be put into skip/ignore mode :-(

Took a while to get there (aka not slept last night) but now I have the rudimentary infrastructure to build NixOS QCOW2 with docker-compose or podman-compose:

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/linux-tpmdd-nixos

I.e running "podman-compose up --build" results in " output/tpmdd-nixos.qcow2"

Next up how do I extract semantic version from Makefile of the kernel tree instead of presetting version to 5.10?

#linux #kernel #nixos

Despite Linux Memory Manager book is ~1300 pages, it is like Intel SDM, i.e. for a specific narrow topic the description is fast and easy to grab.

I just did my first test run with it by refreshing my oom_score_adj knowledge as I needed that and 3 minutes of reading was enough :-)

And I had not even peeked to the book before this. I got what I needed from this and I think next N years will be filled with these 3 min checkups.

Will be a HUGE time saver for me...

@orva I don't think any extremist mindset is best for the overall stability over long period time in like core projects that define the Internet ecosystem.

If that makes me a left-winger, then so be it ;-)

I.e. keep terrorists cells elsewhere, we still provide you the service, you just need to keep your dirty hands away from baking it, thank you ;-) (last one with a grain of salt, I have really bad jokes my apologies)

@orva Yeah I agree number of points that Drew made, and community around project matters to me for many reasons.

I don’t think actually anyone has ever said that you cannot state a critical point of any projects code of conduct if you put your argument in civilized manner. That said, there’s a million mile distance between critical on topic argument and targeted shit trolling.

This type of behavior reminds me of what e.g. Lunduke does. He mixes reporting of facts to extremist and hateful political propaganda, and then rationalizes that by saying he is the only person reporting real facts and open source projects have stolen by the left wing. The truth is that most big projects have moderate voters with various political views, also right wing voters.

It reminds me of that because doing one thing good is and should be zeroed if you use that as vehicle to distribute a destructive message to the community.

So yeah, this time I agree with Drew based on argument.

I'm a Chris Lewicki fanboy. For me asteroid mining or pursuing that still makes a lot of sense: https://www.chrislewicki.com/

Much better plan than conquer Mars.

@Aissen I deleted, because the fact check was impossible mission. I read so much shit that my head almost exploded while doing it. 🧟

@ljs @vbabka ur welcome, sorry apparently i make a lot of noise every single time lol :D well if it is free advertisement for u, right? ;-)

@vbabka @ljs apparently i'm bad at interpreting numbers and bad at web forms. Here's the final truth ;-)

The bugs:

1. I forgot to add the second coupon. So we never know the truth.
2. PREZDAY25 was discounted from the full order not from the most expensive book.

Well.. Umh... Hmm... lol.

Well, in the end of the day this did not go so badly. I still got -30% instead -25%.

@root42 An awesome channel, everyone should check this out: https://www.youtube.com/@root42

@root42, thanks for liking! BTW, I love your Youtube videos! Great stuff, keep on going.

@vbabka @ljs ah sorry ill check from order whether the two discounts add up. Sorry dyslexia!

@orva I’ll read the text word by word once back from gym 🙂 As said still yesterday this was neverheard for me

The EU stands in partnership with Moldova and the Moldovan people.

And we want to bring the country closer to our Union as fast as possible.

We welcome the political agreement between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova.

The agreed €1.9 billion Facility – the largest EU financial support package since Moldova's independence – is a key step in our partnership.

For a shared Europe of freedom, prosperity and stability.

Infamous UK yellow tabloids are like the voice of democracy as of today in 2025! Who would have guessed 👽

@Aissen trump and Musk was proactively use fake everything but repeating the wrong deed does solve anything. Thus ill verify 🙂

@Aissen ill fact check with nitter and delete if it holds once I’m back from lifting weights 🙂
