VallHeh00:01
Vall"khadas vim4" sounds like a text editor00:01
VallInteresting board. No use for a NPU, tho00:12
hyrcif the feature helps them sell many thousands of units, then the use to you is in driving the unit price down, Vall :)00:24
hyrchowever - this is what we should have00:24
hyrcall the people in the world should send me $10 to fund a linux SBC company00:25
hyrcand we will make little graphics cards based on ARM Mali design00:25
hyrcthat can be slotted into the m2 slot (a 2-lane pcie)00:25
c0rneliusThe problem is Panfrost sucks00:25
hyrcwith the money I will hire devs to make it better00:26
hyrcwe will support opengles3, opengl, vulkan00:26
hyrcand target a 5-20 watt power profile00:26
c0rneliusThe S922X is actually one of the better SoCs on the market right now.00:27
hyrcyes and A311D00:27
hyrcwhat particularly sucks about panfrost c0rnelius ?00:28
c0rneliusAmlogic does have a problem with `lying` but that is mostly on the S905X line.00:28
c0rneliushyrc: It's not stable or that's my understanding of it.00:29
c0rneliusI run my board headless for the most part so I don't really care much.00:29
c0rneliusboards*00:30
hyrci've been running it for about 12 months now and havent had stability issues on A311D00:30
c0rneliusWhat are you running?00:30
hyrccan you rephrase the question please?00:31
c0rneliusUr not having stability issues. What is ur use case?00:31
hyrcbuilding every game and emulator that i can00:32
hyrcusing the 5.10 kernel from sept 2020 and their mesa master build from approx july00:32
c0rneliusThat still hasn't answered the question. OS, Kernel?00:32
c0rneliusok00:32
hyrcdevuan00:32
hyrcxorg and wayfire00:32
hyrcwayfire has glitches driving 4k@ 60hz so i need to drop down to 30hz.00:33
hyrcxorg is fine00:33
c0rneliusMesa master? 20.3 or above?00:33
hyrctheir mesa master from july00:34
hyrcfriend always runs latest, and latest kernel00:34
hyrcalso no stability issues00:34
hyrcbut we find some edge cases that are broken00:34
hyrcand they're not up to opengl 3.3 (yet?)00:36
hyrcagain for like three active devs it's brilliant stuff00:36
hyrcreverse engineered too00:36
c0rneliusI do a little retro gaming and I could see where those SoCs would be awesome. But I personally haven't really tested it on that front.00:37
c0rneliusAnd thats some over priced retro gaming right there.00:37
hyrcyou could get an x86 pc with similar performance from the trash yes00:38
c0rneliusCould probs pull it off with the S905X3 I would think?00:38
c0rneliusBe cheaper00:38
hyrcdepends on the game and gpu requirements really00:38
c0rneliusFor that matter pick up a shit pi4 and accomplish much of the same.00:39
hyrcthe amlogic mali gpus aren't in the same leage as nvidia's 2015 tegra00:39
hyrcbut i'd feel soiled with a pi400:40
c0rneliusIts all closed source somewhere.00:40
hyrci imagine vim3 pros are more expensive now than when i bought them00:40
hyrcfunny how the economic fallout is what the austrian economists predicted it would be00:41
c0rneliusNot gonna boot an amlogic board with out the boot fips :)00:41
hyrcbut that's offtopic aside from the topic of prices00:41
hyrci don't know this boot fips or what it's for00:42
c0rneliusuboot00:42
c0rneliusyou need to sign the boot bins before flashing. Need the boot fips for it, which are proprietary.00:43
hyrci don't see how that serves my interests or security00:44
c0rneliusJust syaing. Its no more dirty than say the RPI.00:45
hyrcoh well i had mental trauma from pi3 instability00:45
hyrcso it's more emotional with me00:45
c0rneliusI'm just speaking logistically00:45
hyrcmhm00:46
hyrcgood value, large community. pi4 has a lot going for it00:46
hyrcmaybe khadas can send you a vim400:46
c0rneliusI'd work on it if they did?00:47
hyrcmaybe if they gave you the fips thingy?00:47
c0rneliusMaybe you could put in a good word.00:47
c0rneliusI can find those on my own I'm sure.00:47
c0rneliusBut a link would be nice.00:48
hyrcwell you make devuan-arm images right00:48
c0rneliusThey can actually be compiled.00:48
c0rneliusOfficial ones? No. I'm not officially apart of the Devuan team.00:48
c0rneliusI do make images though. Yes.00:49
hyrcok00:49
hyrcmaybe you could team up with parazyd and get images ready for vim4 release if they send you guys units00:49
hyrcmight not be a lot of work for you00:49
hyrcfor my part, i just convert $watever to devuan00:50
hyrchas worked okay so far00:50
c0rneliusCould be done. Most of my efforts go into kernel dev stuff.00:50
hyrcwhat do you think of the mediatek chromebook soc's00:51
hyrcmtk8172 or what00:51
c0rneliusMaking sure everything works on a basic level. I have played around on the desktop and actually use to be a mod on the xfce forum. But I tend to only play with what I have available to me.00:51
c0rneliusI have no opinion on it as I don't own one.00:52
hyrcok00:53
c0rneliusBut here, an issue from 2019? -> https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/1352#issuecomment-95207735100:54
hyrcthe fxtec pro1x manufacturer says they'll get linux on their next qualcomm based phone00:54
c0rneliusTook a look and made it work.00:54
* hyrc looks00:54
hyrcnice job00:55
c0rneliusAlso added support for Devuan for it as really its just an init vs systemd at that point.00:55
hyrcWayback machine / archive.org has bent the knee to the ... and have announced that they will begin going back through the archives to 'fact check' data that is 'bad'01:04
hyrcthe memory-holing continues01:04
Vallhyrc: "the use to you is in driving the unit price down" -> good point, hadn't thought of it08:32
Vall"target a 5-20 watt power profile" -> Well, in the range of 15W, I'm waiting for affordable SBCs/mobos based on these beauties here: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_embedded#V2000_Series_.28Zen_2.2908:35
VallGranted, 15W is just for the SoC and not for the complete board, but these babies support ECC RAM, which is my greatest gripe re: most (all) of the affordable ARM systems right now08:37
Vallc0rnelius> I run my board headless for the most part so I don't really care much. => ditto here.08:38
Vallhyrc> good value, large community. pi4 has a lot going for it => agreed. I don't like a lot of things about the Pi in general, but considering the whole picture, the Pi4-8GB is pretty hard to beat08:44
VallThat's why I bought one ;-)08:45
Vallc0rnelius> Official ones? No. I'm not officially apart of the Devuan team. => I find it surprising as your work is really great, easily on par with "official". If it's not too much prying, can I ask why?08:47
hyrcmaybe it involves a commitment to deliver10:23
c0rneliusVall: I'm currently not a dev on any team. There is no why, just what it is.15:11
Vallc0rnelius: OK. Normally everything that is, has a "why" -- but I won't pry further ;-)15:31
hyrchey Vall15:35
hyrcjust got my banker friend to drive me around to stock up on real world supplies15:36
hyrcthe stores don't seem to demand 'green pass'15:36
hyrca bullshit mask seems to suffice15:36
hyrcshe was mildly perturbed15:37
hyrcas i emptied the shelves of tinned meats15:37
hyrci see the arc of things15:38
hyrcwas nice to get carted around in a 2020 amg mercedes15:39
c0rneliusVall: Basically my ventures in arm board img creation didn't start with Devuan. Started because I got sick of using vendor imgs, raspios, dietpi, armbian, etc... So I taught my self how to create them and then starting focusing on the Kernel end of things more. Eventually it turned into what it is now and Devuan was added to the list of options because someone asked.15:44
c0rneliusAlong the way I got help from peeps like Tenkawa and ShorTie among others. Especially with Devuan, as I knew very little about it.15:48
Vallhey hyrcm how are you doing15:54
hyrchi Vall15:55
hyrcwell some friends helped me today15:55
Vallhyrc == hyrcanus?15:55
hyrcand i walked around with 'masks are useless' mask15:55
hyrcyes15:55
Vallnice to re-meet you then ;-)15:56
hyrcyeh15:56
hyrcjoerg of devuan15:56
hyrcbans me and stuff15:56
hyrcwell15:56
hyrche's a good person and contriubtes much15:56
hyrcbut i'd like to censor him sometime :)15:56
Vall2020 AMG Mercedes can't go where my Nissan D22 4WD can ;-)15:56
hyrcyeh15:57
hyrcall cars are so good now15:57
hyrccheap nissan is 99% of the experience of expensive amg mercedes in town15:57
hyrcbut15:57
hyrci just say, i have rich friends15:57
hyrcthat makes me happy15:57
VallUnless his AMG is something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-AMG_G_63_6x615:58
hyrcfeh15:58
hyrcme personally i want to make my own 'car'15:58
hyrcit needs to roll, it needs to schlepp groceries15:59
hyrcand it needs to avoid government taxes15:59
Vallgrocery-getter ;-)15:59
Valler, grocery-getter-tax-dodger ;-)15:59
hyrcmhm15:59
hyrci can build it15:59
hyrcbut i have rich girl friend16:00
hyrcwho drive me16:00
VallYou mean, build a vehicle with a combustion engine?16:00
hyrcno. the easy is electric16:00
Vallc0rnelius: thanks for the info re:  you and Devuan16:00
Vallhyrc: indeed, electric  is much easier/more reliable, etc16:01
VallThe problem is range, unless you spend a ton on batteries16:01
hyrcthere are use cases where electric is bad16:01
hyrccombustion engines use energy from air16:01
hyrcoxygen16:01
hyrcbetter energy use16:01
Vall(AFAIK -- I'm no specialist)16:02
hyrcif you need to drive far16:02
hyrci am nerd about all science16:02
Vallhyrc> combustion engines use energy from air -> good point.16:02
Vallnever thought about it that way16:02
hyrcyes16:02
hyrci was also like 'wow'16:02
hyrcwhen i learned this16:02
hyrcbut it's true16:02
VallThey only need to carry the combustible, the comburant comes from 'free' literally out of thin air16:03
Vallhummrmr16:03
hyrcyeh16:03
hyrcyou are a soulmate to me Vall16:03
hyrclet us keep learning16:03
Vallperhaps we should move that to #devuan-offtopic (unless that's where joerg banned you from)16:03
hyrcno i can't talk there16:04
VallOK16:04
Vall:-/16:04
VallIf someone objects here, we move over to /msg then16:04
hyrclet's be forgiving of joerg16:04
hyrcthere is a lot of pressure16:04
hyrcto behave as he behaves16:04
Vallre: joerg, agreed.16:05
Vall1 min16:05
Vallback16:10
Vallhyrc> let us keep learning => by all means!16:10
VallI know next to nothing re EVs16:10
VallI know quite a bit about batteries and solar charging tho16:11
hyrcwell16:11
hyrci read books16:11
hyrcby peple who get killed for writingthem16:12
hyrci have survived16:12
hyrchits16:12
hyrcso16:12
hyrci know the enemy16:12
hyrclol16:13
hyrctell me Vall16:13
hyrcare you white16:13
Vallhyrc> i have survived => OK, just keep reading them and don't start writing ;-)16:13
hyrcare you white16:14
Vallhyrc: I'm more of a mongrel ;-) European from 2 different countries and native american mix16:14
VallBut superficially I look white16:15
hyrcthen it is for god to decide16:15
VallSo re: "the enemy" I would be probably a double agent ;-)16:15
hyrcthere is a 'white spirit'16:15
hyrcmhm16:16
hyrclet's just try16:16
hyrcto pish16:16
hyrcfor whatever we understand as right16:16
hyrcyou'lre a hill guy. so happy to talk with you16:16
Vallhyrc: likewise.16:17
hyrcthe tlde16:17
hyrcis that jews are evil16:18
Vallre "for god to decide", the allmighty has been disappointingly absent as of late (the last few centuries).16:18
hyrcthe holocaust is a lise16:18
hyrcstart with that16:18
hyrcthe holocaust is a lie16:18
hyrcit was the jews that did ww216:18
hyrcht's fucked up16:18
hyrcbut it's true16:18
VallI do not think the holocaust is a lie. I personally know people who lost family in concentration camps16:19
hyrclol16:19
hyrcno16:19
hyrcthere was no gassings16:19
hyrcthat's bullshit16:19
hyrcit's just a fucking flood of lies16:19
hyrcjews are the problem bro16:19
VallIf you mean "the holocaust is a lie" being bullshit, I agree16:20
hyrcno16:20
hyrcthe jews did the real holocaust16:20
VallBut the holocaust happened, and killed millions of jews in the process16:20
hyrcthey killed 30 million russians16:20
hyrcand then the jews16:20
hyrcset the american and britain europeans16:20
hyrcto fight each other16:20
hyrctotal evil16:20
hyrcpure evil16:20
hyrcthat's what jews are16:21
Vallre: 30 million russians, I think the number (of URSS people killed during WW2) was more like 20 million16:21
hyrcno16:21
hyrcthe jews killed millions16:21
hyrcof whites16:21
hyrcbefore ww216:21
hyrclol16:21
hyrclearn this16:21
hyrcthat was the cause of ww216:21
Vallhyrc: I've studied WW2 extensivelly (it was a hobby of mine, came with building airplanes/tanks/ships scale models) and I do not believe this.16:22
hyrclol16:22
hyrcwell suck the dick of your jew master then16:22
hyrci have all the evidence16:23
VallThere were gas chambers in the extermination camps (KZs)16:23
hyrcno16:23
VallI even visited one when I traveled in Bavaria16:23
hyrcnext time16:23
hyrcthe jews will all die16:23
hyrcdbut the germans didn't do it back then16:23
hyrcthere was no 'holocaust'16:24
VallWell, it's got to be a hell of evidence to contradict all the evidence I've seen indicating otherwise16:24
hyrcthat's just the jews telling us what they really deserve16:25
hyrcthere's no evidence for it16:25
hyrcit is just the jews telling us what they really deserve16:25
hyrcyou seem interested in this subject16:27
VallAgain, I've visited the Dachau museum. Besides my studies, I've seen the hard, physical evidence with my own eyes16:27
hyrcread some of the books by the authors that the jews murdered16:27
hyrcof what16:27
hyrcdachau wasn't an extermination camp16:27
hyrcthat's admitted now16:27
Vallevidence: of gas chambers and mass killings of jews by the nazis16:28
hyrcok where16:28
hyrclol16:28
hyrcthe whole thing is ludicrous16:28
hyrclook into it16:28
hyrcand you could send me to prison16:29
Vallhyrc> ok where -> in Dachau16:29
hyrcfor saying this16:29
hyrcplease do not send me to prison16:29
hyrccan we agree on that16:29
hyrcfor starters16:29
Vallhyrc> please do not send me to prison -> I would not, even if I had the power, which I don't16:30
hyrcyou can now send me to prison16:30
hyrcnah you can16:30
hyrcso let's just try to be friends and think about this16:30
VallWell, please tell me how, b/c I have a handful of people I would really like to see behind bars ;-)16:30
hyrchopefully not me16:31
VallYou are not among them, tho16:31
Vall:-)16:31
hyrcno i just looked ... lol16:31
hyrci just looked at the revisionists16:31
hyrcand the nazi death camp stories seem false16:31
VallBut I think we better move to /msg. Sending you one now16:31
hyrcdue to many things16:31
joergvery bright idea17:19
joergre >>[30 Oct 2021 16:24:35] <hyrc> there was no 'holocaust'<< is this channel policy faintly related to german criminal laws? If yes then this is a permaban, this statement is punishable by law in Germany17:23
joergfor the chanlog: [30 Oct 2021 17:26:34] <-- hyrc (~hyrc@p57bbe3cc.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has left this server (K-Lined).17:32
joergadd this, for completeness http://reisenweber.net/irclogs/libera/_devuan-arm/_devuan-arm.2021-10-30.log.html#t2021-10-30T16:18:3017:39
Valljoerg: yeah I was chatting with him over /msgs when he got K-lined and saw the message17:47
Vallthe guy seems to be seriously misguided and/or sick17:47
joergcolloquial: NeoNazi Idiot17:48
joergI really hope somebody is less lazy than me and actually files a complaint against him at police17:49
Valljoerg: to be fair, I chatted with him here and elsewhere on other topics, and he didn't seem an idiot or evil. But I agree, holocaust denialism and anti-semitism is intolerable.17:50
joerghis statements together with the hostname p57bbe3cc.dip0.t-ipconnect.de and the time should be worth a decent sentence at court17:50
Vallyeah. I think spouting "kill the jews" is right there with screaming "Fire" in a packed theather, ie is not by any means "Free speech" and shold be harshly punished.17:51
joergand when I say "his" that's actually sexism I shouldn't do - just I can'T believe any female being would act like that17:51
Valljoerg: agreed, hyrc/hyrcanus definitely sounds like a guy17:52
Vallanyway, if the other guys you banned here and on #devuan-offtopic are anything like this, FWIW I think banning is the right call17:53
VallI'm just curious as to what exactly goes inside the head of someone like that17:53
joerganyway they used a german ISP and IP-address/hostname, and they uttered criminally punishable statements using that IP. Thanks to libera-staff for giving them a k-line17:54
joergI banned ONE guy (hyrc) in *-offtopic, and recently nobody in here17:55
Valljoerg: OK, thanks for the clarification17:55
joergI banned them in *-offtopic for spreading dangerous life-threatening advice / fake news17:55
VallI've been debating info against the mRNA vaccines with him and Golinux, I actually learned a thing or two while researching what they stated.17:56
joergofftopic in here17:57
Vallkk17:57
Vallof course17:57
VallAnyway, thanks for your work moderating the channels.18:00
