<andi-> sphalerite: on the BMC
<clever> sphalerite: you can think of the BMC like shoving a raspberry pi into an x86 server, and then wiring the GPIO up to the power button and a few misc things
<clever> and it draws relatively little power, so its just left running, 24/7

<andi-> It also does such things like KVM
<clever> yeah, it can peek into the framebuffer ram of the GPU and find the resolution control registers, and rip frames out of the video card
<clever> and ive also seen one emulate a cdrom drive, allowing you to just select a .iso file in an activex (*gag*) applet and boot from it
<gchristensen> anyone know why this fella is failing to start X? https://logs.nix.ci/?attempt_id=dd162f28-262e-49e4-8335-7c2af30acc7c&key=nixos%2Fnixpkgs.36706

<clever> gchristensen: looks like only the modesetting driver is enabled, and it cant contact the kernel half of things
<gchristensen> hmm
<Dezgeg> if that's on master the qemu doesn't have any graphics hardware emulated
<clever> i dont remember off the top of my head, how to get it to emulate a headless gpu directly
<clever> simplest thing i can think of is to emulate a VNC capable GPU, and then just not connect
<Dezgeg> I have a commit to do that but something ended up in yak shaving
<gchristensen> gotcha
<Dezgeg> err
<gchristensen> hmm cool, Dezgeg
