this is the article for the record :3

[random orchid]

I'm very proud of streaks et al for accomplishing a hobby os that has a use and that someone else cares about

Rare and impressive feat

[bold olive]

indeed

[molten bone]

thanks <3

mostly Streaks lol

but he's currently unconscious so i'll reply

[slate kindle]

mint casually knocking him out

but yeah its impressive that I see random articles pop up in unrelated places

[short osprey]

btw what happened to the patch to upstream ironclad support to os-test?

mint mentioned that a few days ago

[nova ether]

is this real github stars farm

[copper iron]

It's not in GitHub so hardly

[copper iron]

Fire

[copper iron]

Thanks pookie

@grave spear do you think we have enough for wikipedia

We also have university panels and presentations and papers

[grave spear]

maybe

[short osprey]

bump

[copper iron]

I have never been sent such patch

maybe @molten bone has it

[molten bone]

i never sent it

or created it

it was just not that big of a priority lol

[short osprey]

ah ok

[molten bone]

if you do it yourself that would be nice though, else it may take me a bit

[short osprey]

if you do it first, you can either send a MR, send it to sortie via IRC or have me relay it, either one works

[floral sinew]

very nice

Did you encounter some things that work on glibc ironclad but not on mlibc ironclad?

[bold olive]

Cool stuff

[molten bone]

yeah, some

[floral sinew]

could you list them or report them as mlibc issues? that'd be very helpful

[nova ether]

is this with linux compat or something

[bold olive]

No, actual glibc port

how much fps

[molten bone]

23

inside a nested VM session

and with a bunch of extra load

[storm compass]

isn't it technically GNU/Ironclad now

:3

[slate kindle]

holy

[molten bone]

it is lol

[sick harness]

based

ironclad has the best DE now

"Like Gnome, Except Not A Big Pile of Complete Shit"

[molten bone]

real lol

[loud whale]

XFCE when

[storm compass]

I've ported xfce recipes to ironclad but it refuses to launch

and just crashes midway

as in, kernel panic

[bold olive]

Bump on this, would be cool to fix it on mlibc

Wrong reply, but yeah

[copper iron]

We did do a lot of fixing and use a whole different libc now

You would do well retesting

[storm compass]

hm

[copper iron]

Once we put the glibc thing on main if you want more stable

For now it's a branch we gotta make riscv work before mainlining

[storm compass]

yeah I'll give it another shot

I'll need the recipes to work anyways for menix

[nova ether]

where is ironclad on github ?

im getting 404

[livid bobcat]

https://codeberg.org/Ironclad/Ironclad

[copper iron]

we moved to codeberg like infinity ago

[stoic cedar]

aka a few weeks ago

[bold olive]

I could've sworn there was a mirror on github at leasst

[stoic cedar]

there was like a week ago or smth

but its gone

[copper iron]

we moved to codeberg months ago, in april 25th

(8 months ago more or less)

I deleted the mirror a bit ago since we have had plenty of time to migrate, and its services were no longer needed with codeberg being now more stable. I want to redirect traffic to the main instance instead of the mirror if possible

[stoic cedar]

ah

[cedar osprey]

is mlibc ironclad no more or is it just gloire that will be using glibc?

[slate kindle]

Wait those are separate things?

[shy saffron]

Technically yes

Ironclad is the kernel, Gloire is a distribution using the Ironclad kernel and now using glibc

Theoretically Managarm has a similar setup, Managarm is the “kernel” but because the entire project holds this name it’s not that easy to draw a line where it all ends

[copper iron]

gloire uses what gloire uses, you can make an mlibc Ironclad distro just fine

[woven minnow]

Does Gloire have a web browser ported?

I'm looking for images for "Jenny's daily drivers", which is a series she posts about on hackaday

Main criteria are:

1. Has an image you can just plonk on a hard drive
2. Web browser
3. Image editor

[native heart]

well... it's daily driveable in a VM, or on very specific hardware which has both a PS/2 mouse and keyboard

(and is x86_64)

[copper iron]

yes, just not a good one (lynx)

[nova ether]

for what nic ironclad have support
