Wesley MooreI recently got a passive cooling case for the LattePanda¹ V1 SBC I bought in 2016. I assembled the case and installed Chimera Linux on it tonight. Since my ALIX plan failed, the new plan is to host my retro site on the panda instead.Weirdly the Wi-Fi worked to do the install but I've not been able to get it to connect post install. Not sure what's up with that. ¹ <a href="https://www.lattepanda.com/lattepanda-v1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.lattepanda.com/lattepanda-v1</a><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/SBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SBC</a>

Wesley MooreNew post: Trying to Get Chimera Linux Running on Pentium Class HardwareI'm going to hit pause on this whole i586 Chimera saga, but have written it up so the effort is not entirely in vain. <a href="https://www.wezm.net/v2/posts/2025/chimera-i586/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wezm.net/v2/posts/2025/chimera-i586/</a><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Pentium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pentium</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ALIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ALIX</a>

Wesley MooreI tried this on real hardware (ALIX) last night. It was a battle requiring multiple CF cards and CF to USB adaptors before I got a working combination. Then with some further futzing with grub I was able to get it to show grub and start booting, but nothing happens after that. I let it go overnight thinking it might just be really slow (it's a 500Mhz CPU), but no luck. I think the next thing I'll do is change how things are compressed—zstd might too much for this machine. <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a>

Wesley MooreFull rebuild with proper i586 support is complete!Here is an install running in a VM allocated 256Mb RAM and the CPU set to 'pentium'. These setting match the system I want to run it on: A PC Engines ALIX board.<a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a>

Wesley MooreAnd it boots!I'll probably need to do a full rebuild at some point as it seems that clang defaults to targeting pentium4 (newer than what I want) for all i?86 toolchains, which I didn't notice until late in the process. <a href="https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61347" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61347</a><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a>

Da lazy beardudeI think it's about time I ditched Arch Linux for Gentoo. Arch has gotten easier and I've gotten bored with it. Once I've settled to Gentoo, I'd have Void Linux scratch my "Arch Linux" itchI mean, I've already explored Linux distros with different inits.

Da lazy beardudeSo, from my notes:<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/voidlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#voidlinux</a>: symlink a service's name from /etc/sv/ to /var/service to enable a service then sv up & down will become available for that service. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chimeralinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chimeralinux</a>: dinitctl, kinda like systemctl <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/devuan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#devuan</a>: update-rc.d <service> default to get it on the runlevels, then enable/disable to do fun things.

Da lazy beardudeJust gonna explore Void Linux and probably other systemd-less distros on stream.

namoriSuite du changement d'OS : Je sais pas vous, mais moi je sens bien, chez moi. Je commence à me faire à Chimera Linux. Quand on est habitué à Debian et sa doc monolithique pour tous les outils de base, il faut juste se faire à l'idée de chercher la doc à différents endroits : Chimera, Artix, FreeBSD, etc. Et finalement, tout est bien plus simple, une fois l'adaptation passée. (Remarque : j'ai un fond d'écran plus apaisé dans les autres espaces, trop de rouge ici) Thanks to <a href="https://floss.social/@chimera_linux" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chimera_linux</a> for putting together all the best tools from the floss world :meow_smile_happy: I was prepared to much harder work to get it work, giving that it is only in beta since December! <a href="https://peculiar.florist/tags/ChimeraLinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a> <a href="https://peculiar.florist/tags/chimeralinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chimeralinux</a>

Justine SmithiesBeen sorting out my git repos. I decided to rename my <code>dotfiles</code> which housed my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=chimeralinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a> dots to <code>chimeralinux-dotfiles</code> and added a new repo <code>freebsd-dotfiles</code> which will contain my now current dotfiles. These will be updated as time goes on and I find issues or add new stuff. I'm also thinking about adding a FreeBSD Config repo to store the likes of <code>/etc/rc.conf</code> to either help others or let others help me? Is that a good idea ? <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a> <a href="https://git.smithies.me.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://git.smithies.me.uk/</a>

Justine Smithies[ SOLVED ] You can replace <code>\w</code> with <code>[_[:alnum:]]</code> I'm needing some <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> 14.1 <code>sed</code> assistance as my <code>blarg</code> blog script is now failing under FreeBSD. When this line runs: <code>echo "$filename" | sed -r 's|\w+/(.*).md|build/\1.html|'</code> I get this error: <code>sed: 1: "s|\w+(.*).md|build/\1.h ...": RE error: trailing backslash (\)</code> I tried removing the \ before the w and the error goes away but the sed line doesn't do anything then ? It is supposed to change any <code>.md</code> file paths into <code>build/*.html</code> For example if it gets <code>posts/my-first-freebsd-server.md</code> it should output <code>build/my-first-freebsd-server.html</code> This worked on <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=chimeralinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChimeraLinux</a> and <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=voidlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoidLinux</a> I have noticed this but not sure if it's relevant ???? <a href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253893#c11" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253893#c11</a> Any ideas please and thank you ? ❤️

Shutting down using the <code>poweroff</code> command I'd say <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> wins but not by much, though I am using <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=geli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geli</a> for encryption on my FreeBSD laptop which maybe slows it a little ? The rest of the speeds for general use it's hard to tell so far and as for resilience I've had no issues as yet and the same could be said for my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> too. Why did I choose FreeBSD ? As I was already leaning towards <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=bsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BSD</a> using Chimera Linux I thought I'd have a read up on various and really liked ZFS so it was obvious that I would choose FreeBSD really. I have read up on <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> but looking at the docs, reviews and their software repo's I decided it was for me right now. I will be honest some things do seems harder but that's what makes it exciting again as I'm having to relearn stuff and you know how I like a challenge.
