[ENG/GER] NOT a bitcoiner/stacker/maxi. I am here to have a damn good time! Rabbithole conniseur; I enjoy random stuff. :D Ex-Furry, (close to) blind, hobby developer/sysadmin, waifu enjoyer, long hair fetish (#hairjob). I sometimes talk about NSFW stuff; because fucking is fun =) (DMs always open.)

I love it when games embrace memes in a subtile way.

If you know the meme, you get the joke.

If you don't know the meme, it flies over your head and doesn't hurt you.

Good game design.

Agreed. This is actually amazing stuff and /way/ beyond most ARM situations. I bought this board just at the perfect time, ngl. xD

So I DO have a fifth core! A co-processor, in fact.

That's the first time I am seing literally two different CPU things in Linux, at all. Im actually a little awestruck. x3

dis big. o-o

But now I can make the kernel modules I actually want/need to get started with SAT-IP stuff... the initial purpose of this box, lmao.

Since it computes so well, I might just also throw Home Assistant on here and see what happens. Can't be so bad. ^^ Python runs everywhere, so let's go!

That said... any HASS interop with the Nostr? o.o

asking the real questions right there.

If it has a screen: Can it render Bad Apple?

If it has a screen AND an input: Can it play DOOM?

If it has a screen, and an input, and some good compute: Can it run Crysis?

Neat, but not accessible. I'd have to stick a big magnifying glass on that or use my phone as a temp one. Still, hardware-based managers are awesome!

I've been RISCing enough. While the kernel clones, I shall go and do Genshin things. Daily reset is almost here too so I better hurry for dem primogems o-o

A short list, has everything in it that I would want or need to know and directly has all the files I could ask for.

Thank you. This is literally all the "remaining" proprietary stuff this board uses. Imagine we had a good, usable OSS GPU, then this would go away too, aside from the inter-core com. Neeeeeeeeeat.

I think RISC-V is the ISA I will learn for real. x86 killed me, GBZ80 is fun and hilarious but practically useless these days and 6502 just made me go wide.

I forgot Pine64 made that... Must have overseen that, when I bought the NASCase and RockPro64. To be fair, I bought that one off e-bay; was cheaper to get it from a local chap here in germany ^^;

As for the software?

And: https://github.com/starfive-tech/Debian

There are other repos, too, for uboot, opensbi, and even an Android repo (aosp-hardware methinks)

So, work is definitively happening! ^^

My only BSD experience is, unironically, Mac OS... Yes, Darwin/XNU etc etc; but it's the closest I got. xD But I too think that there is something in BSD that has yet to be really "discovered". Might build a VM of that eventually; I can abuse Windows' screen magnifier to work around the lack of accessibility stuff in a VM quite well, lol.

riscboi, diskboi, bigboi, smolboi, foldboi...

Me and the bois be having a good time. :P

I do need more bois tho. Wonder which device will earn the -gal monicer...?

Yes. This' the tech-enthusiasm I am so down for and with. ^^

But I am exhausted now, this was a lot lol.

Yep, it's a thing. Qualcomm recently put one out afaik.

And you can technically make the Ampere CPU - not the NVIDIA thing - run as a overkill desktop chip.

Threadripper, but actually ripping your power bill into shreds. xD

You might not be dreaming *that* long, actually. o.o

The Star-Tech peeps that make the VisionFive2 have pushed a crapton of patches upstream - just ~4 of them are outstanding at this point, the rest is entirely accepted. Meaning, RISC-V ought to become even more of a "native target" for the kernel.

Plus, Google's side-eye towards RISC-V might cause a ripple in the long-term.

For now, I will just be posting about my experiences with the VisionFive2, its ups and downs and all the stupid stuff I do with it. xD

As for the phone? Oh dude I hear you. Defo would buy, if it had a proper screen magnifier, instantly.
