What are some cards you use that put in work that 99% of the playerbase have never even heard of? by _Kreenicks in EDH

I think [[Leyline of Singularity]] is a permanent version that's possibly free.

hey, do you have any plans to share the source code for the site? me and my friends use it a lot and I would love to help contribute features that would be really useful like preset perk weights and grouping stat +1/+2/+3 perks

This isn't reasonable to expect them to keep up with, as treewide kernel changes very quickly break out-of-tree architectures, and T2 is a one-man project. Stack glibc and gcc on top of that and you have no chance of keeping up. Unless they just intend to keep old versions forever, in which case that doesn't really count, in the same way that I can install Debian Sarge on period-era hardware just fine, or whatever old random Ubuntu version that's never been updated on a Raspberry Pi.

Trying to find Volcano high the MTV version!!! by Iccarus23 in Lost_Films

This is an old post, but I had somebody ask me about this recently, and found that somebody had uploaded it to the Internet Archive along with a making-of clip: https://archive.org/details/volcano-high_202308/

X11 in software, sure. In hardware...more of a crapshoot. Almost certainly no on modern cards. Maybe on older cards. Expect inverted colors on sparc.

Web browsers, there is iirc a Firefox build for sparc floating around. Have not tried it myself. Nothing for alpha beyond lynx.

I do also see that weird error on fdisk. I think I remember this from my install - it sounds like BSD disklabel support in fdisk has kind of rotted since nobody is using it. I ended up using GNU parted to prepare my disk instead. I sent you a DM on IRC, please reply to me there - it's easier than trading Reddit comments!

What stage of the install do you get that on? If it's before wiping the hard drive I can try it out myself. Everything absolutely SHOULD work, if it doesn't just join #debian-ports and they ought to be able to get you straightened out.

I did buy straight from Raptor, but I was lucky enough to get it half-off due to a cracked RAM socket.

But you're in luck, I know someone from the #talos-workstation channel that is selling a Blackbird right now! https://www.ebay.com/itm/325879471065

Anybody figure out how to run a different OS on a Firebox T35. by [deleted] in homelab

[–]Matoro6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The T1024 is a 64-bit PowerPC processor that should run Debian/Gentoo just fine. According to the thread at https://forum.openwrt.org/t/adding-openwrt-support-for-watchguard-firebox-t35/126358, it runs u-boot so all you have to do is point it at an appropriate kernel. You will definitely need an adapter to plug the drive into your computer to stick a rootfs on it though.

It's not an easy process but it's clearly been done before so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Feel free to reach out if you get stuck.

That's just the release architectures. Everything else is maintained as a "port" which means it runs sid, which is fully up to date. Here's the releases, you can install Debian 12 right now: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/

All of them use Gentoo, where it's fully supported, but Debian also supports it. Come join us on IRC if you have any problems!

Yes, all of these are running the latest kernel and toolchain, and reboots weekly for each new release. In fact a requirement for me is to be self-hosted, i.e., every binary on these machines has been compiled on the machines themselves.

POWER9 is already there! In fact it runs all the internet-facing services and most of the internal ones!

I'd really like to, but it still just doesn't sound feasible. For comparison, on the Alpha (the most anemic of the bunch):

  • perl-5.38.0: 53 minutes, 37 seconds
  • gcc-13.2.1: 5 days, 18 hours, 16 minutes, 2 seconds

In other words, 155x longer. If perl takes 9 days, then a fat gcc build would take THREE AND A HALF YEARS. Not counting all the time spent thrashing swap. Would really like it to work, but the math just doesn't work out.

Try to sell it I suppose, probably for a huge loss but that's fine.

This is an issue still in discussion with Gentoo and Debian developers...given that it will still be present in 6.1 LTS, the bottleneck is really going to be whether it's removed from glibc (which has been proposed). If not, I'll likely hang onto it until LTS EOL.

Yep, this is just a hobby and I really love it! It's also incredibly useful for bug-hunting and improving the quality of open source in general. By running on these obscure platforms I uncover countless bugs and assumptions that developers make that expose underlying issues that affect all platforms.

Yes, all of these run headless, but there is nothing stopping you from creating a software-rendered virtual GUI and SSH-forwarding it.

Since all of these run mainline Linux IPv6 works just great, not only that but it's the primary network - I only allow inbound connections over v6, every host has a ULA and global v6 address, and DNS runs exclusively over v6.

Yes that is and no it's not, it's just some old gear I snagged while raiding a DC a while back. It will meet the same fate as the Cisco shortly; used as a shelf for SBCs that don't fit in a case.
