What have been your costliest mistakes in using Linux? by fnrir in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] fnrir 10 points 1 month ago

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

Remember that time conservatives said they needed guns to defend themselves from a tyrannical government?

Focus on yourself first. I do have a Ko-Fi, but I don't promote it much.

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.

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.
