joschjust built linux 6.1.1 on the reform instead of cross-compiling it... takes 6 hours XD11:58
vkoskivDamn C is just a bloated language and slow to compile! We should rewrite Linux in ASM!11:59
joschhaha11:59
c-keen[m]<josch> "just built linux 6.1.1 on the..." <- It's an incredible amount of code 12:20

sigridthe whole of 9front (userspace + kernel) builds in a few minutes on a reform. c is definitely not the problem14:00
vkoskivtwas a joke14:00
sigridunderstandable14:03
sigridi just could not miss the chance to advertise14:04
vkoskivC is pretty heavy to compile if you use cmake, modern gcc and are running on a i486 DX6614:04
vkoskivI know this because I did it.14:04
vkoskiv24MB of RAM14:04
sigridD: turboC would be fine14:05
vkoskivYeah, that runs fine on my PC even14:08
vkoskivIt's only got an 808814:08
BoostisbetterI love the 8088. Was my first cpu. 14:11
BoostisbetterSo capable despite being so limited by comparison. 14:12
BoostisbetterI really like the 186 in the HP 200 LX as well. 14:12
Boostisbetterin other news, I wonder if the Reform standby script would work well on the Purism Librem 514:12

Boostisbetterjosch, is the Reform your primary computer? 18:42
JC[m]Such a coincidence - I'm sitting next to an IBM PC w/ an 8088 right now18:44
+ vagrantc (~vagrant@2600:3c01:e000:21:7:77:0:20)18:50
BoostisbetterMost excellent! Yeah my very first computer that was soley mine was an IBM 515518:51
BoostisbetterI loved that thing so much. 18:51
vkoskivI collect vintage computers. In 2014 I found a large haul of IBM PCs and related hardware for 300 euro.18:51
JC[m]So much nostalgia18:51
vkoskivWell worth it. I got 2 5150s, a 5160 with a 286 CPU accelerator, an IBM CGA monitor, and a green phosphor monitor18:52
vkoskivAlso all the documentation, a model F keyboard, and super rare IBM PC expansion units18:52
vkoskivThose just add more slots to a regular PC18:52
JC[m]Sounds like a great haul for 300 euro18:53
JC[m]I'm only 35, so the IBM is 5 years older than I am, but it's what I used until I was 10 or so because my family never had much money.18:54
Boostisbettervkoskiv, I would LOVE to be able to collect early 80s and on computers. I just don't have the space. The closests I've been able to get (in an awesome way) is the HP 200LX. I have 3 of these, and they are truly amazing. So ahead of their time and PERFECT for running most XT software. 18:55
JC[m]Computers are sooo inexpensive these days - I think people take that for granted sometimes.18:55
JC[m]The IBM is taking up ~40% of my desk right now haha18:58
vkoskivjosch: shellcheck has a few nits about the latest reform-check in your MR18:58
JC[m]I want to take a HDD backup and see if I can run the image in a VM18:58
vkoskivBoostisbetter: I don't have the space either, I just make peace with that :D18:59
vkoskivLuckily the PCs stack well18:59
Boostisbetterindeed18:59
vkoskivAnd I collect a lot of laptops, can just have them like books on a shelf.18:59
vkoskivNever stack laptops. They are heavy, and don't like being stacked.18:59
JC[m]Screens go crunch19:00
vkoskivAlways on the side. Currently in a cardboard box.19:00
vkoskivYe. Also old laptops have rubber feet that turn into gunk19:00
JC[m]or break into dust19:01
vkoskivEspecially old powerbooks, so sad :(19:16
vkoskivThe plastics on those just crumble, especially around the hinges.19:16
vkoskivI have a PB 1400cs with a G3 accelerator. Really nice, just needs a new case :D19:16
JC[m]Oh yeah, the hinge covers dissintegrate19:18

+ wielaard (~mjw_@2001:1c06:2488:1400:9e5c:8eff:fe8f:a440)19:28
vkoskivSadly not just the covers on mine. The whole hinge assembly. And the display back cover is shattered.19:30
vkoskivThis unit might have been dropped, but the plastic is still just weak.19:30
vkoskivBooting it up was a cool time capsule. The browser had the front page of a news site cached from 200119:30
vkoskivThe main problem with my reform is that I work remote, so I don't often leave my home. And at home I mostly use my desktop PC.20:49
vkoskivFinally out and about for christmas :D20:49
joschBoostisbetter: yes, the reform has been my only computer for non-work stuff for half a year now. Everything i do in my free time from email to browsing to videos to debian and other free software development i do on the reform.21:32
Boostisbettervery cool21:32
joschvkoskiv: thank you for the shellcheck hint -- there was a recent update from shellcheck 0.8 to 0.9 which now finds a lot more issues21:33
vkoskivAh, yeah, I'm running 0.921:33
joschi have not yet managed to go through all of my software to update the shell scripts accordingly21:33
vkoskivFun tool to use at work to make me seem smarter than I am :D21:33
joschabsolutely -- for the software where i'm upstream i'm running shellcheck as part of the CI so that no code that doesn't pass can get in :)21:35
c-keen[m]Shellcheck is indeed great thanks for telling me!21:39
