[2026-01-07T01:18:05Z] vouivre: you can have it. I dont mind. ive been busy with other stuff to bother bumping my packages on community [2026-01-07T01:19:34Z] I also dont care much for codeberg. I only use github. which is kinda ironic, but nonetheless [2026-01-07T01:19:49Z] midfavila: will you be moving again? [2026-01-07T02:37:28Z] man [2026-01-07T02:37:46Z] trying to organize a search and destroy tournament on iw4x and its hard to get enough people to sign up despite there being 10,000 people in the discord [2026-01-07T03:31:14Z] most people are likely afkers :p [2026-01-07T03:31:32Z] (or they just don't care) [2026-01-07T04:24:44Z] sad_plan: yeah i think so [2026-01-07T04:24:59Z] my current place was just meant to be a stopover anyway [2026-01-07T06:00:05Z] hi guys, im stuck on extracting the tarball. i followed the instructions but tar keeps telling me that the file insnt exist [2026-01-07T06:05:57Z] this is what i ran: tar -xvf /root/kiss-chroot-24.12.18.tar.xz [2026-01-07T06:11:12Z] Just gogled it. turnes out it was missing xz, sorry bout that peeps [2026-01-07T06:22:55Z] it happens [2026-01-07T06:25:35Z] hey, i wanted to ask. Why is there dislike for initramfs? And if any of you agree with KISS on that, how do you manage booting the kernel without it? [2026-01-07T06:26:53Z] a lot of people just don't need one, you can boot with just a kernel if your disk setup isn't particularly complex [2026-01-07T06:27:30Z] https://github.com/illiliti/tinyramfs [2026-01-07T06:27:35Z] this exists though, is what i usually use everywhere [2026-01-07T06:27:43Z] Oh, I see [2026-01-07T06:30:04Z] Im guessing the initramfs is mandatory if you do things like the multiple bootable image backup thing or when using stacked blocked devices [2026-01-07T06:52:14Z] some (all?) encryption setups require it [2026-01-07T06:53:18Z] well, i dont think i need all that. Never used encryption nor had the need for it [2026-01-07T08:20:05Z] use what applies to you [2026-01-07T08:20:16Z] if all you're doing is mounting a standard ext4 partition or w/e then you don't need it [2026-01-07T10:43:29Z] I believe hovercats is sad_plan [2026-01-07T13:24:53Z] midfavila: I see [2026-01-07T13:24:58Z] phoebos: that is correct [2026-01-07T13:35:02Z] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu5rnQkfO6M [2026-01-07T14:04:44Z] wtf did I just watch [2026-01-07T14:08:21Z] well, appart from the fact that im not too into trance music, the concept was kinda cool though [2026-01-07T16:04:44Z] pressure: you can build all of your kernel's required drivers and firmware into the image itself, that's what i do [2026-01-07T16:05:18Z] sad_plan: yeah idk just not really enjoying where i am rn [2026-01-07T16:17:55Z] thats your que to do something different I suppose [2026-01-07T20:32:23Z] sad_plan: sorry, I have searched and found on irc this question: "is sad_plan, sewn, hovercats same person? " [2026-01-07T20:32:43Z] and the response was: "no we are all completely separate people" [2026-01-07T20:33:10Z] so I was convinced hovercats was not active anymore [2026-01-07T20:34:45Z] no hurry for me, I let you update nettle when you have time. [2026-01-07T20:36:16Z] is it ok for you ? Or you really don't want to maintain it anymore ? I don't need another package to maintain ;-). [2026-01-07T21:01:52Z] yeah sewn really did a number there lol vouivre [2026-01-07T21:02:27Z] im not too keen on working on that anymore. maybe some time in the future. so if you need it, jus send phoebos a patch, or create a pr on codeberg. either is fine I suppose [2026-01-07T21:03:48Z] or just fork it like mid said locally on your end, or a personal repo [2026-01-07T21:09:45Z] sad_plan: ok! So I will probably update nettle soon. If you want it back, just tell when it will be the case. [2026-01-07T22:20:50Z] sounds good
