tbh if the reason for not using FAT is because you can't trust the hardware, I don't think I'd trust any filesystem on it, even btrfs with all the data integrity and recovery stuff turned on

well, looking at my personal experience, I've used systemd-boot for almost 4 years years and have been using UKIs for almost a month now and have had no issues there, meanwhile GRUB has died on me on several occasions
also, regardless of whether grub or the initramfs breaks, you still need a live system to boot into, and Idk what it's like for any other distros or OSes, but on Arch it's actually about as much work to fix the bootloader or fix the initramfs image from a boot disk (for systemd-boot you just run bootctl, for UKIs and regular initramfs images you run mkinitcpio)

well systemd-boot isn't perfect but it sure as all hell has been far more reliable than GRUB (also I think you can do something with an extended boot thing to have the images on a different partition but I've never really bothered with it)
still, if you don't want me to put my initramfs on the ESP then give me a bootloader that's actually reliable that can load stuff from elsewhere, because grub sure as hell isn't reliable

well guess what, GRUB is unreliable, systemd-boot needs the initramfs on the ESP, and UKIs are, well, UKIs, they also need to be on the ESP for the EFI to see them

except when /boot is the ESP which is the case a lot of the time

I mean, long term it's the objectively best thing to do for wired headphones, cables die all the time and it's much easier to replace them if they're plugged into a port than if they're soldered directly to a board

maybe use the occasion to mod them with a headphone jack so you can swap the caboe more easily in the future

for including blocks inside the main config I'm already using variations of include, but for loading the config into Tarme I have to use load

ACPI is supposed to be a standard interface to enable all operating systems to achieve a minimum level of functionality on any given hardware (assuming all of them support ACPI)
in practice it's an ugly evil mess that nobody implements properly because Microsoft designed it and as per internal emails "we need to make sure this only works with Windows, we can't just put all this work in and then have people run Linux or some shit"

2024-09-04 19:07:20

tbh there's prob some acpi stuff that needs extra configuration over there too because ACPI isn't just power and it doesn't seem like anything ACPI is configured by default on Void

good luck have fun with any ACPI stuff on laptops, even sleep on closing the lid isn't configured by default, you have to do everything yourself

Libraries don't really work for a lot of things, tho
Tarme's config file is a good example of this, turning the whole thing into a library for Tarme to load is just way overconplicating things, meanwhile with load it's as simple as dropping your config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tarme/config or pointing Tarme to a config elsewhere with a CLI flag

ngl, it sometimes gets kinda annoying that if you (load ...) a source file it inherits all (import ...)s from the environment that loaded it, but if you load a compiled file it doesn't inherit any imports at all, because it just leads to inconsistent ass behaviour where you run the thing interpreted, everything works, then you compile and everything starts complaining about unbound procedures

but what if they're both doppelgangers and the original was only VP under Reagan? :blobcatthink:

please let me believe they're clones or doppelganger

C people please help me with something: does C store allocated memory sizes somewhere or how does free() know how big a memory chunk to release?
