good morning afternoon

nini fedi, finally going to bed

why did I read an article about risc-v instead of doing this earlier

@lily @doskel you could probably load EDK2 or u-boot that way too, I just haven't tried

@lily @doskel kexec supports multiboot, I managed to load seabios that way (in a VM, I haven't tested that on real hardware yet)

@doskel I prefer coreboot loading linux directly. no need for a second implementation of all the drivers just for the boot firmware when you can just use linux/kexec as a bootloader

@kemona_halftau nini!

meow

@ElliesSurviving

conspiracy theorists who think the government is controlling them

controlling them… through emergency alerts? what? is that a real conspiracy theory?

@neil @hedders I turned off severe alerts after the second one

I do not need to be reminded every 1.5 hours to not set things on fire

1.5 hours later, they issued exactly the same alert again. why? I will just turn them off

excluding test alerts

this is the first time I have ever recieved an emergency alert (for wildfire risk)

@kemona_halftau mrraow

good morning

going to bed now, good night

(this is still later than I would have liked but better than yesterday, and hopefully I will sleep for more than 5 hours)

I think I will just buy the overpriced IBM serial adapter cable. I've run out of other ideas to try, nobody else seems to know the pinout. If I'm right about it just being a nonstandard pinout and it works then I can figure it out with a multimeter and publish it on the internet so no-one else has to buy the overpriced adapter. If I'm wrong and it still doesn't work then I can return the cable (... and I'm still stuck with a massive £500 30kg server that doesn't boot)

@kemona_halftau my wireguard network still doesn't have ipv6 either (except between two of the nodes, which can't use ipv6 for what I wanted to anyway because the library akkoma uses for sending mail is broken and doesn't support ipv6)
