overview for fnrir

When booting into Fedora and running an update, the state of the filesystem changed to the point that when resuming Arch, it put the filesystem into an extremely inconsistent state (where the Arch system might have cached (meta)data that was changed since hibernation).

Also, to clarify, I still managed to recover my data, but the FS was not mountable and btrfsck couldn't do shit. And I'm still using that Arch install to this day. XDDD

Hibernating my computer and then forgetting about it and booting into a different OS (Fedora Silverblue) on the same partition (BTRFS subvolume stuff). AND THEN TRYING TO RESUME THE HIBERNATED OS (Arch btw).

my filesystem was pretty much unrecoverable and it was my fault

but you didn't actually mention any one of them. For that you can use ! and your Lemmy client should suggest a community

It still won't mention it, but I'll link it

(and I didn't wanna come across as mean)

1 - Your question presupposes abrahamic faith.

How will we achieve moksha without Hinduism?

How will we achieve nirvana without Buddhism?

2 - dependency on is due to our fear of death / the unknown combining with religion

We don't know what and if anything happens after death because it is untestable by us for obvious reasons, but some religions still postulate an answer for reasons.

Progress update on the Ventoy blob problem (github.com)

Posting this since quite a bit has changed since I last posted about this on [email protected].

Here's a rough breakdown of the current status:

shared Ventoy components: build and seem to work, needs more testing
- grub / menu - builds
- EDK II apps / UEFI chainloader and more - builds
- iPXE / BIOS chainloader - builds, with fixes for newer toolchains
- ISO9660 and UDF drivers - TODO
Ventoy CPIO / Linux ramdisk: builds; I deemed musl xzcat unneeded, so I skipped it; needs more testing
wimboot / Windows chainloader (?) - stalled, I lack the necessary knowledge to work on it
geom-ventoy / FreeBSD disk mapping kernel module - is being worked on, slowly; not ready for testing
anything else is a TODO

This should be enough to boot Linux with just what's built manually, but I haven't tried that yet.

Secure Boot is just done by using a pre-built bypass package. I'll deal with that later.

Having more people testing this would be nice. :)

Cheers

Hello. I'm working on Ventoy CPIO, a replacement ramdisks for Ventoy. My goal is to create a sane build system (first for building ramdisks, then for the entire project), and solve the infamous issue of having blobs in the repo.
