I think it is very cool that I can connect my Raspberry Pi to my desktop computer via ethernet before I've installed my wifi drivers and it will just share my internet connection

opinion on ALARM so far:

it sure is Arch Linux, but for ARM

you know it's a normal pi setup when you install wayland on it first thing

The packages are not compatible with your architecture. Try to build them anyway? [Y/n]

why pray tell do i need the Entire Index to build one tiny rust program

does rust have an equivalent to distcc

waiting for this tiny arm chip to run the borrow checker gauntlet when i have a giant x86 desktop just sitting here waiting for it is kind of silly

the answer to the cargo index thing appears to be "because crates.io is fake, every single rust package is actually hosted on github in a git repo"

which. yikes

say what you will about java package management but at least it does not rely on a central authority

and even the central that is commonly used for convenience is independent and not just GitHub or Amazon

(also if you want to download just one java package you can just. do that. you request a predictable URL containing the POM metadata, then that tells you everything else you could possibly want to know and who else to ask for further dependencies)

I think more people could stand to learn from Maven

anyway i seem to be running into regrets installing the aarch64 version of ALARM on the Pi

I forgot that you're supposed to run this ARMv8 chip in ARMv7 mode because.... reasons

@unascribed Pardon me? I use a 64-bit OS on my Pi almost daily (in fact I am right now). I haven't run into any major issues, and being able to run 64-bit only software is pretty cool.

@onfy @unascribed I have ran a playstation emulator with OpenGL on it tho

@onfy @unascribed I wouldn't know, I built a private unreleased one on it. Had to make it 32 bit cuz it has no 64 bit JIT though, which was a pain

@noiob @unascribed Don't you have it backwards? JIT is for aarch64 only.

@onfy I didn't build duckstation, I built my friends' unreleased project which only has 32-bit JIT

@noiob Oh, alright. I know multiarch is now working on Bullseye, so I can run 32-bit software like redream on here.

@onfy wait it wasn't before? it's a standard debian feature

@noiob There's a package conflict on buster that prevents installing libc:armhf without breaking the system. Buster 64-bit was always a beta anyway.
