curious how and if it works with other laptops with a keyboard backlight
<samueldr>
some corners _are_ cut in the code right now, but AFAICT nothing important security wise... main corner being cut is it picks the first keyboard backlight it finds, so if somehow you have more than one it might not work as expected

Lucky 10000 for me. It's called "in development" in the man page. I wonder whether this matters since it's in such a dusty and unused corner of the kernel, but we could disable the module.

Just went to a talk from Richard Stallman :o
<infinisil>
I am a convinced libre software person now
<gchristensen>
he didn't eat his feet did he
<pie_>
damn
<infinisil>
He did not, I'm pretty sure
<pie_>
gchristensen, come on, its not a stallman talk without any foot eating :(
<infinisil>
I shall henceforth call it its proper name GNU/Linux
<pie_>
Nix/GNU/OS
<infinisil>
And I'm considering giving Guix System a try
<gchristensen>
cool, infinisil
<pie_>
trying a different paradigm is always a good idea if you have enough time
<infinisil>
Well it's not a different paradigm
<gchristensen>
Guix is the same paradigm, no?
<pie_>
yes and no? i mean i havent used it myself
<infinisil>
It's very much like Nix
<joepie91>
isn't Guix basically "Nix, but Scheme and GNU"
<cransom>
huh, they must be feeling good, they branded 1.0.0 on the second.
<pie_>
but like, lisp
<infinisil>
pie_: The programming language used should be pretty
<infinisil>
Non-important tbh
<pie_>
uh
<pie_>
you wanna use c++ for instead of nix?
<pie_>
eh, im distracted and not prepared to properly back this up righ tnow
<infinisil>
Oh wait, scheme isn't functional?
<pie_>
i was being hyperbolic
<infinisil>
Or decalarative?
<pie_>
but no it isnt necessariyl
<pie_>
something something multiparadigm probably
<infinisil>
I mean, all lisp i know are very much imperative
<pie_>
though i think most people conflate lisp with it's syntax, but im really lacking experience in that department
<infinisil>
Oh well I'll get my opinion when I check it out
<pie_>
i think you can use it functionally but it doesnt force you to, also you can use an embedded DSL and IDK what GUIX does
<pie_>
yeah \o/

rms talked about guix?
<infinisil>
Nah
<infinisil>
I intended to ask about his opinion on guix, but there were so many idiotic questions that the time ran out..
<gchristensen>
guix on riscv!
<drakonis>
just run guix to learn how to make nix better
<infinisil>
I feel like once you run guix and are "in", you won't have a reason to spend your time on nix and would rather help with guix
<infinisil>
Just a guess here
<gchristensen>
that is certainly my experience
<infinisil>
gchristensen: you are a guix person?
<gchristensen>
no
<gchristensen>
I would rather help with Nix than anything else
<infinisil>
Ah yeah

infinisil: yes, pragmatism usually wins over idealism

Well, I'm already using NixOS, which is on the low end of the practical spectrum
* gchristensen
obviously disagrees
<infinisil>
yorick: What is it that you don't agree with specifically?
<infinisil>
gchristensen: It's easy for us to say that NixOS is easy to use, but we need to think of the average joe, who isn't a linux nerd and programmer
<gchristensen>
I didn't say it was easy to use
pie_ has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]

<gchristensen>
I think what it enables is incredible valuable and practical
<__monty__>

I'm too lazy to use a linux distro the usual way... so I'm using NixOS :)
<gchristensen>

<gchristensen>
I agree it is not a good choice for her
<yorick>
infinisil: copyright is the legal ability to limit what other people do with information you create
<yorick>
infinisil: this gives us Disney as well as Microsoft as well as GPL
<yorick>
except that copyright is obviously targeted at the disney side, and nobody really knows what to do with GPL except that it probably technically works in most cases
<infinisil>
I don't quiet get what you're trying to say
<infinisil>
quite*
<yorick>
infinisil: I don't agree that it is a good idea to have a legal framework enabling control over what people do with information they receive from you
<infinisil>
Hmm alright, can't really agree with this in general
<yorick>
infinisil: it doesn't really work with the internet
<infinisil>
I mean GPL has the restriction that any software that uses it has to be GPL licensed as well, which fosters collaboration and sharing
<yorick>
gchristensen: caveat: you have to be in the US?
<infinisil>
That looks like a good restriction to me
<joepie91>
"which fosters collaboration and sharing"
<joepie91>
this has shown to be a largely questionable premise in practice :)
<joepie91>
that might be what it's designed to do on paper, but in practice...
<infinisil>
joepie91: Can you elaborate?
<__monty__>
gchristensen: Want to give us wet dreams?
<yorick>
infinisil: LLVM's main reason for success is that apple wanted something non-GPL
<gchristensen>
__monty__: :)
<yorick>
infinisil: have you seen the latest ZFS conundrum?
<gchristensen>
it might be interesting to consider what "foster" means
<cransom>
zfs has never not been a licensing conundrum.
<joepie91>
infinisil: sure. in practice, the parties who need protecting from GPL violations rarely have the means to sue over them, which means that violations are widespread and rarely countered. at the same time, it's burdening well-intentioned open-source developers with a lot of licensing caveats, to the point of many - well-intentioned!- developers not really wanting to deal with the GPL, thus hindering collaboration by creating rifts over licensing
<joepie91>
matters.
<joepie91>
basically, the core function of the GPL in practice appears to be creating legal busywork for open-source developers
<manveru>
do we need #nixos-licensing?
<gchristensen>
we need #nixos-yes-i-am-a-lawyer
<infinisil>
So the problem is, GPL works well as long as you don't need to interact with other licenses? joepie91 yorick
<yorick>
"would you like to update gitlab every month in a company that probably works on cool stuff"
<yorick>
infinisil: no, most people avoid GPL software or use it only where it doesn't matter, or just violate it and hope nobody notices
<infinisil>
Oh and the fact that nobody actually enforces GPL
<yorick>
(which they mostly don't)
<joepie91>
infinisil: I'm not sure how you derived that from what I said :)
<joepie91>
given that my point is basically "the GPL doesn't work well at all"
<gchristensen>
I sort of feel that these license discussions are not a great topic for #nixos-chat
<infinisil>
Yeah right i derived that more from yorick's point
<joepie91>
ah, right
<manveru>
licenses is religion for software devs :P
<yorick>
okay let's get back off topic then :P
* manveru
hides
<yorick>
gchristensen: do they offer relocation? :P
<gchristensen>
hmm
<gchristensen>
from where?
<yorick>
europe
<infinisil>
Okay so two problems: GPL doesn't work well with other licenses and GPL is often violated without repercussions
<joepie91>
bath time, bbl
<infinisil>
That both seems solvable by just using GPL everywhere :P
<yorick>
infinisil: also it just makes your software unused in the space where the gpl would matter
<infinisil>
I'm still pretty convinced of libre software, but thanks for highlighting these problems
<gchristensen>
definitely yes
<gchristensen>
the definition of libre is complicated
<yorick>
libre as in beer
<gchristensen>
hahaha
<samueldr>
your beer source should be closed, otherwise it's gonna go flat
<gchristensen>
I really appreciate that in one swoop you eliminated the distinction "free as in beer" tries to make.
<yorick>
in general, though, people should not tolerate companies shipping build artifacts and calling them software
<yorick>
(e.g. windows)

gchristensen: Stallman pointed out that we should be encouraged to use other languages to express the difference between the two meanings of free
<gchristensen>

<infinisil>
In german it would be "frei" for libre software and "gratis" for no cost
<infinisil>
Hehe that page was in my bookmarks already
<infinisil>
simpson: You can speak it?
pie_ has joined #nixos-chat
<simpson>
infinisil: Somewhat. "libre" might be {zifre}, and "gratis" {nonjdima}. There isn't an equivalent for "free as in puppy", though.
<pie_>
free as in puppy sounds a lot better than free software
<joepie91>
"In raw terms, people sentenced to prison were more likely to be arrested for and convicted of additional crimes. But once additional factors were controlled for—like eliminating parole violations that people who weren't in prison couldn't commit—this difference vanished. There was no statistically significant effect of imprisonment, suggesting that it did little to deter people from further criminal activity."
<Church->
gchristensen: Yeah we've been chatting about the new speculative attacks for the last hour.
<pie_>
is this an additional 40 percent? :D
<drakonis>
i think it might be in general
<__monty__>
Wow, suddenly the performance of the old CPUs that didn't yet have IME or can have it disabled doesn't look so bad : )
<drakonis>
joepie91, what does tough on crime even mean?
<gchristensen>
this has nothing to do with IME
<drakonis>
__monty__, they're still largely slower than existing cpus
<drakonis>
because mitigating side channel through software does not inherently make them slower than cpus releeased nearly 20 years ago
<__monty__>
I know spectre has nothing to do with IME. But getting rid of spectre exploits and not IME exploits doesn't seem all that productive.
<joepie91>
Drakonis: it means a punitive 'justice' system that is focused on revenge rather than rehabilitation :)
<__monty__>
Is IME 20 years old?
<__monty__>
Closing the gap in performance still makes it a more valid choice imo.
<drakonis>
no its 11 years old
<drakonis>
joepie91, oh :|
<__monty__>
Drakonis: And CPU performance more than doubled over (less than) the last decade? Color me skeptical.
<drakonis>
it hasnt doubled in a while now
<drakonis>
it has been increments of 10% on a year over year basis
<drakonis>
a 2019 cpu is mathematically 2.853 times faster than a 2008 cpu
<drakonis>
unless the gains went down
<drakonis>
mind you that this conversation will be pointless whenever intel and amd ship hardware with fixes to sidechannel attacks
<gchristensen>
ARM shines a light on the way
<drakonis>
as that will allow them to regain most if not all of the lost performance
<drakonis>
ARM? risc-v all the way, baby
<gchristensen>
"shines a light"
<samueldr>
don't forget that instruction sets will change some workload
<gchristensen>
shove 100 cores in to a single CPU and never share it between jobs
<samueldr>
e.g. if SSSE4 or whatever newfangled hash/crypto instructions like AES are used, newer CPUs will most likely be more performant
<drakonis>
there was some ridiculous 1024 core risc-v cpu
<drakonis>
must require some really specialize programming to make it work

I know. Just saying that the old CPUs system76 or puri.sm offers are looking a whole lot better if there's 40% performance cuts across the board.

I think their main reason is avoiding IME.

So you can have 100% open firmware.

you can also run power cpus
