| 09:19.41 | brolin_empey | clort: CatButts: ACK. At one point I thought you both may be the same person but apparently you are two different persons. |
| 09:23.11 | clort | sicelo that's interesting, i saw some discussion of systemd-inhibit on recent xscreensaver comments |
| 09:23.23 | clort | any of you guys done any fbterm or kexecboot hacking? |
| 09:48.27 | Maxdamantus | I remember using fbterm on my laptop. |
| 09:49.50 | Maxdamantus | and I used kexec for booting an old computer that I was using as a router, but didn't use kexecboot (dunno if it existed)âjust made my own static binary that included a minimalic shell with a kexec command. |
| 09:51.46 | Maxdamantus | (the BIOS on that computer wouldn't read 40 GB drives or something, so I made a Linux image small enough to boot from a floppy disk to kexec the actual kernel) |
| 10:01.55 | brolin_empey | Maxdamantus: It still surprises me that an IBM ThinkPad 755CD from 1995 works with a 32-GB drive (CompactFlash SSD) but a genuine, desktop IBM Personal Computer from around 1999 cannot use a drive larger than approximately 8 GB due to a limitation of the motherboard BIOS. |
| 10:03.17 | Maxdamantus | Indeed, it's really just a matter of what assumptions people made when writing the BIOS software. |
| 10:04.38 | Maxdamantus | Same issue with SD card sizes. Some devices might say they only support SD cards up to a certain size, but if you're running something like Linux or Rockbox on them instead of their default software, you won't have those limitations and can use any size. |
| 10:06.23 | Maxdamantus | (since Linux and Rockbox are designed to work with practically arbitrary SD card sizesâtheir developers probably weren't told that they only had to support X GB, so they didn't write the software with assumptions around X GB) |
| 10:08.49 | Maxdamantus | If your job is to just write software for a particular product, you're more inclined to build in those assumptions, since your boss tells you what it needs to be able to support and then you just make the lowest-effort implementation that supports that. |
