hendrikboom3sadsnork, I didn't know tinydns *could* be used other than as an authoritative DNS.00:14
hendrikboom3sadsnork, And my email backlog from since Sunday is starting to flow in now that DNS works again.00:18
djphyay, everything came up and works on Chimaera12:00
unixbsdhello21:47
unixbsdI tested this kernel on devuan: https://gitlab.com/openbsd98324/linux-archlinux-2021060121:47
unixbsdit works very well with graphics on the ascii devuan.21:47
unixbsdwhat is the reason actually? it does have a better drivers for AMD Ryzen?21:47
unixbsdopengl works very well with this https://gitlab.com/openbsd98324/linux-archlinux-2021060121:47
Walex2unixbsd: what are you asking?21:50
unixbsdwhy the kernel/modules archlinux works bettter on devuan that default one?21:51
Walex2unixbsd: that is a weird question. They all use the same kernel with slightly different patches. But probably you are really asking about the difference between "stable" and "rolling" distributions, even if perhaps you don't realize it.21:52
unixbsdit seems that they have got a good drivers for amd ryzen, no idea what they managed to do with their graphic/modules21:57
masonunixbsd: Is it a newer kernel? Support for things generally improves over time. If you've a newer kernel with better support for things, then there's your answer.21:58
masonAlternately, if there's some preferable config they've used, that could be the answer too. De*an gives us decent tools for running custom kernels.21:58
unixbsdthey use 5.�0.1522:00
unixbsdthe 5.10.15 that they use is nothing exceptional, but it is well compiled for games22:01
masonBeowulf uses 4.19.181-1 and ASCII is older still, so there's your answer.22:01
unixbsddo we work on backport for devuan?22:02
unixbsdi.e. do we have a backport for modern kernels?22:03
unixbsdeven, if we have one, it seems that they do a better job in compiling the kernel for optimized graphic cards. modules is way larger though22:04
masonunixbsd: Yeah, there's backports. beowulf-backports seems to have 5.10.24-1~bpo10+1 right now22:04
hagbardIf something new and shiny is needed, the vanilla kernel is also an option. Building a debian package out of it is a one-liner.22:04
masonWhat he said. The kernel has learned to build Debian packages.22:04
unixbsdhagbard: not so sure if vanilla is key,  it is more an art to get all working graphic cards nowadays.22:04
Walex2unixbsd: note also that GPU support depends *also* on how new the Xorg drivers are too.22:19
unixbsdah man, thank you, this is too true.22:19
unixbsdactually, when I use their kernel on our devuan, games like ps2 work better (so same xorg).22:20
masonunixbsd: diff the config, no sense in it remaining a mystery22:25
unixbsdI havent found their config file halas :(22:29
unixbsd...yet.22:29
masonunixbsd: Do they embed them?22:30
unixbsdI will look or search for it22:30
masonunixbsd: Do you have a /proc/config*22:30
mason?22:30
unixbsdnope :(22:30
hagbardotherwise they are somewhere in /boot22:30
masonIf they don't ship one in /boot *or* embed one, that'd be unfortunate.22:31
unixbsdthey didnt give config into /boot22:31
unixbsdnot to give config is like kernel being a linux closed source ;)22:32
