I'd say Newton's 1st is more applicable here

Okay. I get it. It's also not that funny.

The maybe use public transport? If you REALLY need to use buy car - buy one.

Also: families were not mentioned before in this thread. Is driving around with your partner and 5 kids and a couch a daily occasion?

Progress update on the Ventoy blob problem by fnrir in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] fnrir 62 points 1 month ago

TLDR: There's binaries instead of source code in the repo, which makes it hard to near-impossible to verify what it's doing. And the instructions for building those is lacking.

GH issue: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795

Posting this since quite a bit has changed since I last posted about this on !technology@lemmy.world.

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.
