@pine64 do some nifty stuff, and in terms of #documentation and #support.only have competition from @olimex and @RaspberryPi / @raspberry_pi / #RasberryPi.

• Cuz most competitiors like @bananapi are just shoving out boards and not even try to get stuff mainline'd into #Linux or to provide proper documentation and #ReproduceableBuilds.
  • Which is a shame cuz the specsheets are good.

@cwebber precisely that!

A #shitposting - Program is anything but #reproduceable and I want #ReproduceableBuilds for #auditability, #security and #transparency.

• That's the whole reason I do @OS1337: To have something so fundamentally simple and compact that it is (at least in theory - at some point) financially feasible to crowdfund complete code audits of the entire system.
  • I don't want people to trust me blindly, but to earn trust in the few things I code.

That's why I treat any "#AI" / #AIslop the same way @dolphin treat any leaks from Nintendo:

• I'm not even gonna look at it!

@pkal @ghul there's a reason why #Linux is #GPLv2-only and not #GPLv3.

• Mostly because GPLv3's terms are a non-starter for many things, as it's demands are just not compatible eith #patents and #copyrights that companies have to abide.

But yeah, the #SFC nowadays is quite of a net negative and it makes them and #copyleft look bad.

• Don't even get @landley started on how "GPL enforcement" made #BusyBox look like litigatious dicks and contributed 0 lines of code back to the project.

Whilst we all would prefer #ReproduceableBuilds and fully-#OpenSource'd and #OpenHardware, beating it out of corporations in court won't be a winning strategy, and lobbying for legislation and espechally choosing repairable and open hardware will be more effective long-term…

@theroyalwhee0 is there a way to let it generate reproduceable self-contained & statically linked binaries?

If so I'd consider putting it on @OS1337 's packages wishlist…

#ReproduceableBuilds #OS1337

@anselmschueler @renormalist @aliceif @bill88t @BrodieOnLinux @AsahiLinux +9001%

I do see a lot if mid #rewrites in #Rust just for the sake of rewriting it in Rust…

• What I do need however are #ReproduceableBuilds for @OS1337 and ideally simple & compact enough to make "#SelfHosting" not a demotivating & masochistic endeavour, so like with #C it should not require an internet connection on the build machine.

Because the final / release build may be done on a fully #airgapped system in a fukky airgapped facility that the #developers never be allowed inside or even get to know where it is and what system it powers...

• I'm shure @landley catches my drift here...

@spinglass nodds in agreement

Whilst I use #GitHub for @OS1337, I don't use #GithubActions and it can be all done completely airgapped (merely depending on your ability to get sources & toolchain on your device and follow documentation.

• And I think #ReproduceableBuilds and a truly "#SelfHosting"-capable system is necessary of you want it to be real #FLOSS that is actually working!

But then again I'm not deploying some 3rd tier esolang.

@fuchsiii @GreenSkyOverMe even then I'd only believe it.if #Microsoft was forced to #OpenSource all their stuff with #ReproduceableBuilds and external independent auditors verifying it!

• I wished @EUCommission would invest only 1% of their budget for #Office365 into #FLOSS instead of running distractions like #GaiaX wothout banning known state actors and #Govware integrators like the #GAFAMs, which due to #CloudAct CANNOT COMPLY WITH #GDPR as thatbis inherenzly incompatible.with each other!!!

@krutonium @landley I mean, Ideally @OS1337 would be come a simpler and better alternative to #LinuxFromScratch or #YoctoLinux / #YoctoProject when it comes to getting started on a device.

• Ideally #SBC manufacturers would at least release the #drivers (if they can't be assed to #mainline them into #Linux) and #ReproduceableBuilds with build scripts to make them go brrr...

Cuz #RaspberryPi de-facto monopolized non-#amd64 / non-#ix86 - #SBCs because they actually give a shit and publish #documentation!

• So whilst they certainly don't support other OSes than #RaspberryPiOS, they don't just tell folks like @geerlingguy to not pester them with questions in their Forums.
