+ mark_ (~mjw@gnu.wildebeest.org)14:33
vkoskivI'll try momentarily. Ethernet seems to not be working for some reason14:56

vkoskivSame error once or multiple times in one burst15:02
vkoskivTo be investigated, doing it over wifi then15:03
vkoskivReboot didn't fix either15:03
vkoskivjosch: 67 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 796 not upgraded.15:04
joschvkoskiv: but nothing held back anymore?15:04
vkoskivIt showed a ton of packages being held back, so I assume that 796 is most of  them15:05
joschah okay :)15:05
joschthank you for confirming15:05
vkoskivdidn't run the upgrade yet, if you want me to try things15:05

joschjosch: my personal recommendation would be to wait for a few more weeks in the hopes that the people driving the 64bit time_t transition find and implement a way allowing smooth upgrades19:19

erledigitalrayne i think the instructions are proper now: http://news.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/notes/lego-mnt-reform-keyboard-holder-2.html20:01
erledigitalrayne i don't think i can possibly make it more lego-booklet-style except if i add arrows and submodels, which i probably will not20:01

jfred-linodeIt's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi%C3%B1atex20:10

digitalraynein the review, that intro talking about the comparison to old, thoughfully designed buildings, describing the design as brutalist, i thought was an interesting way to describe the reform, but i wonder if that was how the mnt team felt when reading it?21:43
+ pandora (uid585533@id-585533.ilkley.irccloud.com)21:44
digitalrayneerle, oh yeah this looks accurate now I think, i can totally see what you mean, but yes any more accurate and you may have lego sending you emails :)21:45
digitalraynei always find it funny when people mention laptop speakers in reviews too, like i don't think i've ever used the speakers on a laptop with any level of expectation, it's more like, "i forgot my headphones and there is nobody else around to bother, so i can watch this video on the speakers"21:49
digitalraynethis review does tease once very important question though - power9 reform when? :P21:50
- chomwitt (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~chomwitt@2a02:587:7a11:6600:1ac0:4dff:fedb:a3f1)21:50
erledigitalrayne lego is actually pretty chill with things as long as you don't call your non-lego bricks “legos”21:58
erlethen they send nastygrams because branding21:58
hramrachdigitalrayne: with a truck battery to go with it?22:23
hramrachThe desk/server version is already done by Raptor computing, the only missing one would be mobile.22:24
sigridsparcv8 might be more doable22:25
ZylonMaster power9 when? No idea, openpower when? When microwatt and/or libre-soc become options22:26
ZylonMasterwhen they are mature and stable enough 22:26
Zabayou can probably run a microwatt-based SoC on the kintex-7 SoM22:27
ZylonMasterIF you can buy one22:28
ZylonMasterthen yes22:28
ZylonMasternot sure where thats possible though22:28
ZylonMasterwho sells it, etc22:28
Zabahttps://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-rkx7-fpga-module22:30
ZylonMasterno i mean the microwatt part22:31
ZylonMasterlol22:31
digitalraynehramrach, i'm not opposed to a well designed mnt reform backpack to carry the battery pack :)22:31
Zabahttps://github.com/antonblanchard/microwatt22:31
ZylonMasteryeah but i dont think that person sell it yet22:32
ZylonMastersells*22:32
ZylonMasterif I am wrong feel free to correct me22:32
ZylonMasterbut id like to know also where22:32
ZylonMasterif so22:32
digitalraynei'm reading a lot more about sparcv8 processors than i expected to this morning sigrid, so thank you22:33
Zabayou can synthesize a microwatt-based SoC and run it on an FPGA, there is no need to buy anything besides an FPGA22:34
ZylonMasterhm22:35
ZylonMasterso you would build it yourself22:35
ZylonMaster?22:35
ZylonMasterhm okay22:35
ZylonMastermakes sense22:35
ZylonMasterIf you think you can do that, go for it then22:36
hramrachCan you still get a sparc8? My impression is that the architecture is dead.22:36
digitalraynei am now uniquely qualified to answer this question22:37
digitalrayneit's licensed to a bunch of companies, the most recent example i've found is 201922:37
ZylonMasterare sparc processors used primarily for servers? I never heard about them till I did searches on processors 22:37
ZylonMasterlots of searches22:37
ZylonMasterno word od mouth communication22:38
digitalraynei've never heard of a sparc portable but i've love to be wrong about that22:38
hramrachmaybe becayse your hair is not gray yet22:38
digitalraynethere's definitely been workstations though22:38
digitalrayneoh yeah now we're talking: https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10274167222:39
ZylonMasterah prolly22:39
ZylonMasterim not a greybeard i got the joke22:39

hramrach"Comparison of the UltraSparc III Cu & Pentium 4 Processors" they got it wrong, they should compare UltraSparc III Cu to Pentium III Coppermine22:49
digitalrayneopensparc is what started all the licensing of non-sun sparc processors iirc22:49
digitalraynethere is also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraSPARC_T222:49
digitalrayne"the T2 typically consumes 95 watts during nominal system operation" there's that battery backpack again22:50

sigridhramrach: https://www.gaisler.com/index.php/products/processors/leon522:57
hramrachargh, it's 32bit, who want to use that for anything other than IoS today22:59
sigrid4gb ram should be enough for everyone22:59
hramrachbut ok, it does exist, they did not go out of business to the point their domain would get parked23:01
sigridI guess some QorIQ powerpc cores are power (heh) efficient enough to be put into laptops23:03
sigridbut I don't know much about those23:03
hramrachbut you can pick: vector instructions or LE 23:03
hramrachand today you want both if you do not waht to keep whacking bugs for the whole time you use the thing23:04
hramrachsomebody overdid the corner cutting23:05
hramrachI think it's this one https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/23:07
ZylonMasterhuh23:08
ZylonMasterwill look23:08
hramrachthe devkit for it is a PCI card :)23:13
hramrachlike there is USB OTG it has some PCI(e?) controller that can be used as peripheral and probably as host. or maybe that's separate one, don't remember23:15
hramrachbut not littleendian vector instructions 🤷23:16
hramrachyou put a computer into your computer, matroska computing design23:21
