@hfaust Although they could also figure out cross-compiling at this point.
@lizzy And it feels so weird as someone which used to daily drive OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana, the destruction Oracle caused back then is probably by far the biggest reason I care about portability and am against implementation monoculture.
(Other reason against monoculture being security/resiliency, different baskets are unlikely to have the same flaws, something I apply for storage as well, never all the same brand)

Haha, of course a SEO bot would fail to follow redirects.

Okay, leaving hotel to fosdem.
Probably won't be on laptop much and otherwise it's feature phone without fedi on it, so hopefully will see some of you at something like confs/BoFs.

@SuperDicq @volpeon Yeah, although grub being painfully unreliable is rather distro-agnostic, yet it's the bootloader of choice of nearly all distros.
@SuperDicq @volpeon Things aren't always about you, there's a ton of well documented failures of grub and that's the tip of the iceberg.
And I hate this "works for me" (aka "fuck you got mine") attitude with things, do not do this ever again.

@SuperDicq @volpeon The reasons why I'm taking it as unreliable are basically architectural, it'll work for most but the failure modes are the worst for a bootloader to have.
grub-install can literally fail to fully install and not report an error. Combine this with how modules have ABI breaks without backward compatibility, so you get the MBR or EFI executable updated to a new version but without their modules required for bootup.
Similarly grub-install often fails to detect the hardware, which is stuff that ought to be into a configuration (allowing a verification step) instead of magically done every time it's executed.
grub-mkconfig similarly can create config files that it then cannot parse, that one even predates grub 2.x

This moment where you're like: Maybe I should replace this grep+sed shell script with Perl to have less regex.
