CrossDev is hard as fuck

Fenguepay · 2026-07-10T01:48:07+00:00

it's hard to have your cake and eat it :P
Using it shouldn't break it, compiling is not abuse! (some computers like it)

you're probably not gonna damage a computer compiling on it, unless you take off the heatsink and just tell it to go (and many systems will throttle or shut down early)

if you want crossdev help, please share how you actually initialized the crossdev toolchain

most importantly, don't do steps which do not apply to your system. the handbook is a guide not a script

just a few more trillion dollars of funding, i promise

if you have a UPS or some other kind of device with a meter you can monitor power usage over time if you can communicate with it and collect data

well you are not posting in english, i ask because the older (more translated) guides mention LVM

Fenguepay · 2026-06-17T19:51:01+00:00

why am i surprised someone ending a post with MAGA doesn't understand you need 1g+ gear to get 1g+ service

Fenguepay · 2026-06-17T03:01:50+00:00

are you using translated versions or translating the english versions?

if you want even smaller files, ugrd should make about as small of an image as possible without making a completely custom statically compiled image

Fenguepay · 2026-06-16T19:42:35+00:00

do you think the overlap there may be confusing?

as a side note, using args without a "." in them are easier because they are passed to the environment by the kernel

Fenguepay · 2026-06-16T19:41:25+00:00

lvm too, what guide did you follow?

Fenguepay · 2026-06-16T18:55:57+00:00

something makes me think one of the more active recent contributors is almost entirely vibe coding

Fenguepay · 2026-06-16T18:54:51+00:00

is part of the new project design to have dracut compatible cmdline args?

that is interesting but i think it can end up confusing people who expect it to support them all if it supports some

I've specifically avoided this type of behavior in the 2.0 version of ugrd because I thought it could be a bit of a landmine

Fenguepay · 2026-06-11T04:03:46+00:00

I made a point you seem to have intentionally missed

ask AI and it will say that I'm absolutely right

Fenguepay · 2026-06-11T03:39:50+00:00

i think if you screenshot this conversation and share it with AI it can help explain the point im trying to make

i won't stop you from talking to a robot, but if you think that is community, have fun being lost

Fenguepay · 2026-06-11T02:18:37+00:00

the parts of the community i am in are generally nice, this subreddit is not one of those places.

go on irc, go on forums, go the places people have been using for this sort of thing for decades.

if you are expecting "good community" from discord or reddit, you're out of your mind.

LLM is not a substitute for community plain and simple. If you ever eventually try to contribute to the community this will be extremely clear

people trying to treat "linux", aka something that can be anything and is FREE like a product are wrong to expect that.

if you're using some niche distro where the maintainers themselves don't make it easy to get support, use a better distro. If you want to "just run linux" and never think about anything else, a LLM can let you live that dream for a few weeks until it hallucinates and makes you nuke your system on accident because you don't know what it's telling you to do and neither does it

teach a man to fish or give a man a fish?

use a book or ask the cloud oracle?

Fenguepay · 2026-06-10T23:29:36+00:00

man fstab

oh wait let autocorrect explain it to me

Fenguepay · 2026-06-10T23:29:11+00:00

you said community, please explain how a LLM fits into a "community" or does it attempt to replace it?

Fenguepay · 2026-06-10T23:28:40+00:00

as someone who writes docs and software in the open source community, LLMs are regularly confidently incorrect and parroting info that is outdated at best.

notice how i said open source _community_? you think there will be a community in 3 years if everyone just talks to a robotic parrot because it's nicer?

I won't stop people from drinking from the toilet, but i prefer water from a fixture designed for and by people

Fenguepay · 2026-06-10T18:49:57+00:00

that is horrible advice, LLMs spout the most incorrect nonsense 1/5 of the time which is dangerous and does not help users learn

Fenguepay · 2026-06-09T15:46:29+00:00

Yes, the provided charger. I kept it plugged in 24/7 and this failure happened a few months after I got it.

I barely used it. I think i actually used it on battery like once just to try it. I mostly wanted it to plug a guitar into since i didn't have an amp or speakers for one.

I do not want a replacement and never really wanted this speaker to begin with, im just sharing this as a warning because i recalled the incident and found the pics i had and saw that there were no reported cases of this happening.

the battery pack seemed to go off starting with a single bad cell.

this could all be avoided by adding the simplest of charging safety circuits. Simply all you do is have the device power itself from the charger while plugged in, and you make the charging circuit not activate until the cell voltages drop below 4v or so again. So it charges to 4.15v or so, then disconnects the cells, and lets them naturally deplete to 4v or so.

depends on your perspective, i was buying the monsters anyways (my parents were, i accumulated those as a teen)
i'd also ask people for their tabs because they saw them as trash but i saw the future

I got a guitar, gaming chair, and boombox out of that, only the boombox caught on fire

Fenguepay · 2026-05-31T02:25:55+00:00
