@Natanox I hit stage 4 before stage 1. Is this proof that maths is secretly always modular?

@koz @Natanox I'm pretty happy I didn't have to do this in this century.
Show threadKoz RossNov 7, 2022

@mort @Natanox It really isn't that bad IMHO. Tedious yes, but not too bad.

... but then again I ran Gentoo as my daily driver for a while. So perhaps my perspectives are warped.

Show threadMirko SchenkNov 7, 2022
@koz @Natanox Depends on the use case, I guess. I don't care about the possible optimizations as long as everything works fine enough and like having kernel updates without adjustments. If you're using old hardware, embedded systems, or have some special requirements, self-compiled kernels become much more attractive.
Show threadKoz RossNov 7, 2022
@mort @Natanox Agreed absolutely.

@koz @mort @Natanox I believe that is somewhat of an understatement...

Show threaddavidakNov 7, 2022

@Natanox i use mastodon since 2017 and at this point, i casually test kernel patches and even maintain a #bcachefs kernel package on #nixos (well, not very active anymore, but my name is in the metadata 😁)

https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=linuxKernel.kernels.linux_testing_bcachefs&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=linux_testing_bcachefs

but all this is very easy on nixos

this was my initial commit of the bcachefs package

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/4134db36d021b4715bdf0f4e54caee6d1255ee5e

this is how to patch a kernel

https://codeberg.org/davidak/webseite/issues/85

(i was a linux admin, devops and software developer, so i might be biased when saying it's easy)

@davidak @Natanox Thank you! I used bcachfs on Nixos.😃
