question: if i were to roll a new ssh public/private key, what cipher/bitsize would you use?
<geist>
fairly certain rsa and dsa are basically out nowadays and should go for ed25519 or whatnot, right?
<junon>
ed2348293842 (whatever that one is)
<junon>
RSA isn't 'out' per say
<geist>
just wouldn't use anything less than 4k iirc
<junon>
at least, not that I've heard. You just want a large bit size.
<geist>
yah
<junon>
Yeah 4k at least, I usually opt for 8k but most people would say that's overkioll.
<kazinsal>
yeah
<geist>
i was just noticing one of my workstation is using an old 1k from 2011
<kazinsal>
ed25519 only has one key size iirc
<junon>
Ohhh yeah replace that asap
<clever>
i need to investigate ssh again, ive got 2 hosts that are refusing to talk to modern ssh clients
<geist>
there is that problem, but its becoming less and less of a concern
<geist>
if i'm using a truly old machine for nostalgia purposes i just run telnetd
<moon-child>
geist: tbf 1k keys haven't been factored ... yet
<clever>
geist: more just neglected updates
<geist>
moon-child: oh sure. just probably should be rotating keys *anyway*, at least more than once every 10 years
<zid>
but anyone logging it who factors it in future can read it though right?
<moon-child>
i mean, that's kinda a general problem
<moon-child>
you can't do anything about
<clever>
my general understanding is that a DH exchange is used to create a shared secret, and the pub/priv pairs are used to authenticate
<junon>
yeah, you have to use another scheme to battle that issue
<junon>
e.g. chain of trust and root CA verification, etc.
<junon>
but that's usually overkill for personal use.

<geist>
i think it's been pretty debunked but there was some stuff going around the other day that you can tell covid flare ups by looking at amazon reviews of candles and people saying they can't smell them
<zid>
overspec your keys so that your secrets are irrelevent by the time someone can steal them
<geist>
it's pretty debunked, but a cute theory nonetheless
<junon>
I was looking at that the other day, was super funny to think about. Yankee Candle reviews and whatnot.

should a non-readable/writeable/executable page count towards the resident set size?
<junon>
a non-readable page is just one that isn't present, right? there is no way to indicate a page isn't readable without it also just being ignored entirely, unless I'm mistaken.
<heat>
depends on the architecture
<junon>
oh okay, then I cede
<junon>
:D
<heat>
or the feature set you're working with, iirc x86 pkeys can have unreadable pages which are accessible
<zid>
junon: I've had a support ticket open for 2 years to get my account back
mahmutov has joined #osdev
<zid>
It's just.. not getting processed, they switched bugtrackers twice I'm fairly sure cus I got emails about the bug being reassigned or whatever
<heat>
on one hand, x86 has no readable bit, so if ---, it's not present; otoh, if I just mprotect(PROT_NONE) a page and mprotect it back it should be there
<heat>
just because it's not accessible it doesn't mean it's not mapped
<zid>
Just comes down to whether you've made a tracking structure for your memory mappings, or just do memory mappings directly
<zid>
there is a 'readable' bit like you said by co-opting present, but you need to rely on metadata for figuring out if that's because it's a hole or not
<junon>
dang, feels like only a few people ever really worked there haha
<junon>

<moon-child>
imo best game of all time
<heat>
actually I got a decent solution: the PTE is only empty is it's 0
<heat>
does this fit with swap? no, the non-accessible pages will conflict with swap entries if I do it like that
<zid>
swap is generally why you'd need that metatracking
<kingoffrance>
"should a non-readable/writeable/executable page count towards the resident set size?" if something is swapped to disk, is that resident or not? i dont see how permissions should matter. "resident" where? :)
<kingoffrance>
remember, in ye olde tongue, disk is just secondary storage
<zid>
so you can check if your pf is real, or needs to do some work.. cus all you can tell from the page tables is that nothing was present
<heat>
I have all sorts of metatracking
<heat>
but it's just not efficient to look up all the other tracking when I'm just looking at page tables
<zid>
just.. don't look at the pagetables at all
<heat>
I do need to look at the page tables to know if something is mapped or not
heat has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
heat has joined #osdev
<heat>
it's literally impossible to look at anything else and making my own ghetto page table just to know if something is mapped or not is not useful
<heat>
my best bet will probably to use my vm objects' struct page * to hold some metadata in the lower bits
<heat>
bit 1 = present (else swap information will be the rest of the value), bit 0 = dirty (for writeback)
<heat>
maybe a bit for huge pages too

https://godbolt.org/z/q5s5zhqK7 <-- why does the compiler generate a rip relative mov for the pointer and not for the array here?
<bslsk05>
godbolt.org: Compiler Explorer
<moon-child>
not sure. But if you say -fPIC it does rip-relative for both
<clever>
i suspect that maybe the runtime variable with the pointer just doesnt exist
<clever>
when you reference the string, the compiler will treat that pointer as a constant, and embed it into the asm as an immediate
<clever>
so only the raw string bytes exist
heat_ has joined #osdev
<geist>
yeah htat's right
heat has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<geist>
the first one is a variable that is a pointer to the string
<geist>
the second one is an array with a string in it, and the variable is the array
<heat_>
ah, const char * const p_app_name generates the same code
<geist>
yah p2 is deferencing it once
<geist>
in the original example
<geist>
https://godbolt.org/z/de6bYKhrM is a bit more clear to me, because using a risc machine you can see much more clearly when an extra dereference happens
<bslsk05>
godbolt.org: Compiler Explorer
<heat_>
-flto also seems to get rid of the deref
<geist>
yah probably decides that the var can't be modified and then basically flattens it to an array due to global visability
<geist>
or at least no additional .c files have visibility into the char *ptr
<geist>
i bet if you declare them static you get the same thing
<geist>
yep, confirmed
<geist>
another great reason you should mark stuff static very aggressively
<heat_>
wasn't static deprecated in C++ < 11?
<junon>
heck no
<geist>
cant actually *remove* it
<junon>
was it really deprecated?!
<heat_>
yes
<geist>
and no. static means a whole lot of other things, but static variables are still a thing
<geist>
but.... the equivalent of 'local scope to this file' you're supposed to do in C++ is an anonymous namespace
<geist>
i find it annoying, but it is basically superior for a variety of reasons
<geist>
`namespace { int foo; int bar; }`
<heat_>
it doesn't work in this case
<geist>
well, no it's c++
<heat_>
wrapping the pointer in an anonymous namespace generates the same code
heat_ is now known as heat
<geist>
yeah
* geist
shrugs
<heat>
oh wait oops I was compiling with optimisations off
<geist>
oh haha yeah i did the same thing
<heat>
with the same -O2 it generates the static code for anonymous namespaces
mahmutov has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<geist>
anon namespaces also let you do things like locally declare classes or structs with methods on them, etc
<geist>
which is one of the ways they're more useful in C++
<heat>
how is a static class useful?
<geist>
same reason static variables are useful: used only in this file, so the scope is reduced
<geist>
and the compiler is much more free to optimize the wazoo out of methods
<heat>
well you can't extern a class definition
<geist>
compiler doesn't know that
<geist>
dumb language
<geist>
namespace { class foo { bunch of methods on it; } }
<geist>
lets all those methods be local too, because otherwise the `static` keyword means something else on a method
<heat>
the compiler is stupid
<heat>
reject compiler, become monke
<heat>
except with LTO, then the compiler goes super saiyan

<geist>
robyn: what are the specs of your machine?
<robyn>
uhm, it's a laptop
<robyn>
don't know the specs, it was a present last year
<geist>
oh probably an hour or so
<heat>
wht
<heat>
what*
<robyn>
joy.
<geist>
maybe tween 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how fast it is
<heat>
gcc compiles super fast on my laptop
<heat>
like 10 minutes
<geist>
given no information, and it being a gift, i'm *assuming* it's not a supercomputer laptop
<robyn>
lucky you
<geist>
but okay, 10 minutes to 1 hour
<robyn>
it's not, only 8 gig of onboard ram
<heat>
mine is not a supercomputer laptop as well, cheap 700 euro laptop from 2018
<geist>
fine.
<geist>
anyway, so yes. not 2 minutes
<heat>
compiling gcc is blazing fast when you've compiled llvm
<geist>
that i will not disagree on
<robyn>
I'm following the tutorial
<geist>
8GB ram, probably a quad core (8 threads) machine. if it's dual core it'l take approximately twice as long
<robyn>
quad core, yes
<geist>
so yeah probably 10-20 minutes then
<heat>
good old 1 hour nap iteration cycle
<geist>
on a big workstation it's more like 3 or 4 minutes, but it doesn't scale as linearly, since there are stretches of the compile that are not fully parallel
<robyn>
I'd still be asleep if it weren't for neighbors TV, something has been said to nursing home staff
<heat>
geist, have you tried compiling gcc with LTO?
<heat>
I wonder if it's as slow as clang
<geist>
dunno!
<geist>
i have not
<geist>
i think a lot of the clang slowness is simply that it's fairly beefy C++
<heat>
python + LTO is already decently slow when linking /bin/python3
<geist>
the usual lots more little methods and inlining and template explosion that just gives it an order of magnitude more work to do for roughly equivalent complexity
<heat>
yeah but LTO doesn't impact compile time right?
<heat>
you'll just feel it when linking
<geist>
sure, but the link time is just as useful
<geist>
as in the time tends to move towards the link phase but can many times take a lot longer in agregate
<geist>
plus it isn't parallel
<heat>
it is
<geist>
so you end up with a large single threaded code generation phase which without LTO had a better shot of being more parallel since it was distributed across the compile phases
<heat>
-flto=N
<geist>
is that llvm or gcc?
<geist>
(doing the linking there)
<heat>
i've seen this with gcc
<geist>
ah never seen it used, but okay. dunno exactly how that works
<geist>
rustc i know for example has some parallelism in its LTO, but dunno precisely where it cuts and breaks it into parts
<zid>
-flto is same as -j basically
<zid>
flto=n same as -jn
<geist>
well, it's a bit more complicated than that. depends on how the compiler/linker phase inside the LTO engine can divide the program
<geist>
i know, for exmaple, clang has LTO and thinlto which are two different models. i think thinlto has a better shot of divide and conquer
<zid>
(same as -j)
<heat>
clang has -flto-jobs=N where it controls thinlto only
<heat>
and has a default of 0 = derived from CPUs
<geist>
yeah its my understanding that thinlto is parallelizable, but clang LTO is not
<geist>
was unaware that gcc has a parallelizable LTO engine. neat.
<heat>
i wonder if gcc also derives the threads from the CPUs
<heat>
probably?
<geist>
there's some commentary about how it partitions things using -flto-partition= and whatnot
<heat>
I know that clang people really like thin lto, I just don't know why
<geist>
`-flto=jobserver` looks neat
<geist>
yah we use it on fuchsia. i think it's my understanding that it's far faster to compile than LTO and gets almost all of the same benefits
<geist>
so it's almost a win/win
<heat>
noice
nyah has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<heat>
jobserver doesn't work with ninja though
<heat>
just GNU Make
<geist>
to answer your earlier question `Use -flto=auto to use GNU make’s job server, if available, or otherwise fall back to autodetection of the number of CPU threads present in your system.`
<heat>
ah
<heat>
nice
<geist>
but it does seem that -flto with no args does not parallel compile
<heat>
its a sensible option
<geist>
`-flto-partition` looks interesting, since i'm guessing it a) affects how parallel it can build things and b) the scope of where it can do cross module optimizations and whatnot
<geist>
that would be interesting with reasonably large programs to see how that affects things
<geist>
affects codegen that is
<heat>
I imagine that doing auto parallel compilation would ruin all sorts of build systems since they mostly assume 1 job = 1 thread
<geist>
for fuchsia for example the build system puts LTO linkers in a separate bucket and has a max number of them
<geist>
ninja has this feature, but the build system that genreates ninja has to understand it
<geist>
otherwise you end up with a ruined thing, absolutely
<geist>
rustc compiles for example weigh more than a clang compile since they can start a bunch of threads, so we let less of them run

<zid>
6,7 etc are just bigger versions of 4 and 5

4 adds center building and parity to 3x3, 5 adds extra centers
<FireFly>
I figured out solving the first 3 layers of the 4³ without looking it up, extrapolating from having learned a systematic approach to 3³ + trial and error
<zid>
I needed to look up the alg to do final two edges

and solve the parity case on final layer

yeah

sorry to interrupt the rubiks cube hair cutting discussion but has anyone tried testing their os in qemu with ctest? my plan is to use a test fixture to start qemu, then each individual test sends a message to the serial port (run test #123, reply with PASS/FAIL). it sounds like a good idea to me, but whenever i do anything non-trivial in cmake it never ends well...

the only issue I've noticed with the caller-id mode is that if you get the "user1234 is messaging you" notification and then you /accept user1234, it doesn't actually show you what their message was
<kazinsal>
so I've missed messages from people because I rarely get IRC PMs from people and forgot to pre-configure an /accept list

Is that optimal? Seems like a lot of gates

probably not

I just did it all by hand

The 4s cases, the 2s cases and the 1s cases

1s cases is just xor stack for parity, 4s cases is stacked AND gates, 2s cases was just an 'and' pair between every input combination, with an xor between the 4s case to stop it being 6

Well the Enqueue function enqueues data into the ring buffer and Unenqueue undoes that action
heat has joined #osdev
<sortie>
It's part of some elaborate error handling when file descriptor passing fails, it might have succeeded in sending N file descriptors, and then the N+1'th fails for some reason, and the whole operation needs to be undone, such that there's an atomic all-or-nothing property

I was thinking about making an OS, the major paradigms that work seem to be (stream) file oriented or object oriented. As far as I can tell any novelty will be in concurrency or security, so I'd rather focus on making a clone. Unix is popular but I wondered about doing something non traditional

but it'd be warmer there. my house is literally 57F *inside*

the heat pump is simply not powerful enough to heat this house to this temp
<heat>
hello it is me
<jimbzy>
No auxiliary heater? I have a heat pump, but if I dial in a temp 3 degrees higher it kicks on a heater.
<sonny>
not_not: good idea, virtual cpu might make implementation easier
<not_not>
wait we have a quantum programming language design channel?
<geist>
jimbzy: that's actually the problem. the compressor is in thermal lockout, so it's running the AUX heater at full tilt.
<geist>
and i think the aux heater is simply undersized for the house
<not_not>
sonny: ye, not not should work wonders on quantum bits
<not_not>
if a qbit is in a superposition of 0 and 1 it is not not 0 and not not 1
<jimbzy>
Sounds like you have a defective capacitor, but I'm not an expert.
<geist>
jimbzy: for the aux heat or he compressor? possibly both. either way i'm burning power like crazy right now
<jimbzy>
The compressor
<geist>
oh no, it's locked out because it's too cold outside (24F)
<geist>
this one is only rated down to 30F or so
<jimbzy>
Oh, wow.
<jimbzy>
I thought you meant it was due to heat
<not_not>
sonny: getting to work on it now, wondering if i should write in python or c++
<sonny>
I wouldn't use either myself
<not_not>
i know
<geist>
nah, it's because this particular compressor is old (from 2004) and it's just not efficient below 28 or 30, so it's locked out below a particular temp because it would do negative work at some point.
<not_not>
i wanna reinvent the wheel
heat is now known as notheat
<jimbzy>
I gotcha. Yeah, that's a strange problem, and probably not that common.
<jimbzy>
For your climate, I mean.
<geist>
right, it's extremely rare to get into the low 20s, much less the 10s here. like once every few decades
<not_not>

Yeah, mine runs at lower temps, but it's not efficient so the aux heater helps out.
<not_not>
and i've drawn syntax trees that sorta makes this syntax be able to reason about the operators in a computer
<jimbzy>
It's not too bad, tho, because there's some serious insulation in the attic, and the basement stays relatively warm all winter long.
<geist>
jimbzy: newer models (higher SEER ratings) are much better about it. primarily because they're microcontroller controlled and have much more options
<jimbzy>
Yep.
<geist>
this is from the era when it has basically ON and OFF and REVERSE
<jimbzy>
Crap they don't tell you when you buy, eh? :p

but not a problem. the computer room stays nice and warm. because computers

If the OS is implemened in userspace, how can it get drivers?
<geist>
drivers just run in user space
<geist>
not that fundamentally different, except things like an interrupt handler tend to be thread based
<sonny>
I'm trying to picture how it can get priority over the hardware
<geist>
can you elaborate what you mean by 'get priority over'?
<sonny>
well imagine you have a keyboard driver in your userspace OS, I'm not sure how that will interact with the existing keyboard driver
<zid>
reverse? fancy
<zid>
devices are controlled by writing to memory addresses that they are 'listening to'
<sham1>
A userland driver process tells the system "hey, I'm a driver for such and such devices, please notify me on interrupts FOO and BAR. Also, map me memory regions 0xDEADCA00 onwards for 4 pages"
<zid>
the only reason you can't do drivers in userspace /normally/ is because the kernel doesn't map those addresses into your process
<geist>
exactly. hardware itself doesn't care if the cpu accesses its register from supervisor or user mode (at least on x86 and most architectures)
<sham1>
Perhaps the driver also interact with some ACPI layer which itself is either in the kernel or another userland process
<geist>
so you just arrange the driver to run in user space, in one or more threads in a process somewere
<sonny>
amazing
<geist>
the main whacky part is as sham1 was saying is you can proxy interrupts to user space
<geist>
so ernel takes the IRQ then notifies a thread in a process somewhere that had registered for it
<geist>
then the thread takes it over
<zid>
I mean, interrupts are *mainly* already vectored to userspace
<zid>
they just arrive as signals
<sham1>
Or if you have a microkenel, let's say, you could also get a message
<geist>
but otherwise it's not a big deal. on x86 IO ports can also be mapped into user space via a convoluted mechanism
<sham1>
The manner of implementation isn't *that* imporant
<sham1>
important&
<geist>
right. in zircon, for example, we have an Interrupt object that a driver can get a handle to and have signals delivered to it
<zid>
adding 'some driver irq' isn't any different really
<sham1>
SIGIRQ
<geist>
which can be arranged to either be a wait_on_object() or send_me_a_message_if_this_signal_is_set_on_object()
<geist>
either way, a thread is woken
<geist>
so given that drivers can be implemented in user space, for the most part you can build a OS with only a handful of kernel drivers. probably timers and the interrupt controller itself
<geist>
and then for the most part everything else can be moved out to user space
pretty_dumm_guy has joined #osdev
<notheat>
you can build drivers in userspace for linux already
<zid>
only userspace driver I've ever actually used is fuse
<sham1>
And of course, the reverse is also a possible idea. That is, userland in kernel space. Of course, that kind of a system will be a bit peculiar although things like syscalls would be blazingly fast
<geist>
sure. that's functionally what a lot of embedded systems without mmu do
sdfgsdfg has joined #osdev
<geist>
you can build a fully functional programming model in supervisor mode and just run 'user' code next to the kernel in the same address space
<geist>
that's basically how folks use my LK project
<sonny>
So, when such an OS is to be ported to hardware, it is just a matter of letting the kernel map the drivers, and possible rerouting signals unless you have an Interrupt object that can catch signals
<geist>
re: user space drivers i should also make a distinction that there generally are drivers that dont talk to hardware that have generally been easy to implement in user space for years. printer drivers, or something like fuse, have no actual hardware to back so you dont really need any special support for those
<geist>
sonny: basically. so you build up a model usually where some user space service figures out what hardware is present (say a PCI bus driver, also in user space) and then have it spawn the proper driver processes
<geist>
you might end up with 20-30 processes, each with a diver. or one large process with all the drivers, or some combination thereof
<sham1>
A large process with all the drivers would be very close to being a monolithic kernel but in userspace
<sonny>
sham1 If the userland is in kernel space, that sounds like having all code run at a privelleged level
<gog>
mew
<sham1>
sonny: indeed
<geist>
sonny: indeed. it gets interesting if your user space is written in some sort of safe language
<geist>
say something interpreted, or something where it can be forced to not use priviledged instructions, and no raw pointers, etc
<sonny>
I see, using software to provide security
<zid>
Threads/processes are cheating, monolithic entire system pls.
<sonny>
interesting
<geist>
or all user space runs in a full virtual machine, a-la java or whatnot
<zid>
monolithic kernels are old hat, I want monolithic windows install + sekiro
<geist>
you can argue in that case that it's fairly secure
<sonny>
I suspect that argument against this is the vm overhead?
<sonny>
Security does seem like a worthwhile tradeoff
<sonny>
And, if you can get hardware in tune with this idea, it will be simpler I think
<geist>
for general purpose i dont think it makes much sense, but for a more secure embedded model than 'everyting crammed together in one binary in supervisor mode' its an improvement
<geist>
short of having more of a user/kernel split, but lots of embedded cpus dont really have that feature set
<sonny>
yes, that does mean you also get a better embedded language for free
<sonny>
scripting an embedded system does sound appealing :-)
<notheat>

one more thing, as I understand it any programming language will do for creating of an OS, if you are willing to put the infrastructure in place. The common languages that seem to do this are rust, c and c++?
<geist>
generally yeah. with a sprinkle of assembly, usually
<geist>
nowadays mostly in the form of inline assembly assists
<gog>
rust has a bit of a following yeah, and i did investigate it but it seems more complicated than C

like C with its unsafe types and unsafe memory and freedom to shoot myself in the foot

it's fun!

not that i didn't already hae a handle on it, but i generally forbid it in embedded or bare metal, but now i'm a bit more open to it

without rtti and exceptions it seems fine

<geist>
well, theres a lot, but yes of course you can do everything you can do in any language in assembly if you try hard enough
<gog>
for me c++ has a lot of syntactic sugar i want
<geist>
it's mostly about using the additional features of the language to build a more convenient and safe solution, without additional overhead, or acceptable overhead

'CppCon 2019: Chandler Carruth “There Are No Zero-cost Abstractions”' by CppCon (00:59:52)
<geist>
because someone said it doesn't make it untrue
<geist>
or make what i said untrue
<heat>
sure, it's a good talk though
<geist>
there are plenty of zero cost, very useful abstractions that you can get with lightweight c++
<geist>
he's talking about much higher level stuff iirc
<heat>
std::unique_ptr is fairly lightweight but you're still paying for it
<heat>
even if only in compile time
<geist>
but yes. what he's talking about are the general things that makes c++ code bigger and many times less efficient
<geist>
and that's precisely what i've experienced. unique_ptr and shared_ptr are great examples
<geist>
or even simply RAII lock wrappers. which is fantastic, but they do have a cost *sometimes* based on the codegen
<geist>
but honetlsy RAII lock wrappers are worth it. never again should you write a goddamn goto tree to roll back stuff in a function
<sham1>
shared_ptr especially would have quite the cost since refcounting is weird like that
<geist>
yah there' the ref counting but then there's the hidden cost that now *all* code that interacts with a shared_ptr has to assume it might be the one that drops the last ref
<geist>
and thus emit at least a path in the code to clean it up, call the dstructor, etc
<geist>
and that starts to immediately blow up code size
<geist>
even if it's mostly dead branches
<heat>
noinline the destructor?
<geist>
but, then the tradeoff is they're very useful. so probably worth it
<geist>
sure, but noinline the destructor means it still has to actually marshall the args, call it, etc. that adds up
<geist>
does it matter? depends on the situation. probably not
<geist>
but if you're trying to build very tight embedded code or whatnot, maybe
<heat>
yes but that would be the case for any object_unref()
<geist>
right of course. we're violently agreeing
<geist>
what i have seen is exactly this sort of codegen explosion happen in front of my eyes as we converted LK stuff from C to C++ and then more deeply C++ified it in zircon
<geist>
and it's not all bad at all, but definitely a thing that was interesting to observe
<geist>
we avoided some of the destructor problem by having a whole class of objects (via its base class) when the last ref goes away instead of destructing itself it adds itself to a thread-local list of future destruction
<geist>
and then when the kernel hits a particular sync point it does a clean of the thread local objects, and that may cause additional objects to go to the list as their last ref goes away, etc
<geist>
it works darn well, was happy with that
<sham1>
Could have done object pools
<geist>
or i think in some point it can be moved over to another worker thread
<geist>
indeed
<geist>
a slab allocator it would go back to eventually yes
<heat>
is it faster?
<geist>
but these are still 'live' C++ objects that are holding refs to other objects and whatnot potentially, so as they destruct they may cause additional garbage, etc
<geist>
heat: probably not, but it means we dont end up freeing things deep inside locks they didn't intend to
<geist>
to avoid too many recursion issues or generally doing extra work in locks that aren't strictly related to the purpose of that lock itself
<geist>
like i grab a lock on object A for purpose A while holding a ref pointer to B, and then while doing the lock i drop the ref to B and now B wants to destruct which holds ref to C and D, etc
<geist>
nicer to just delay all of that
<geist>
a lot of this happens more often if you aggressively use move semantics on ref pointers, which really help a lot with extraneous ref pointer bumping

can qemu emulate any wireless chip?

hmm I wonder if I can write a mostly self contained bluetooth driver to pump log messages out
<heat>
i know the bluetooth stack is large in general but...

it'd be a fun way to bypass the need for a serial-to-usb adapter
<heat>
actually if I got tianocore running on this rpi I could probably dump stuff to EFI variables
<heat>
i can't remember how it does efi variables though
<heat>
maybe it doesn't?

<gog>
imean it could in theory if there's an nvram device with space
<gog>
but in practice idk what it would take to configure it to do that. probably not that much
<heat>
gog, the rpi has no nvram
<heat>
docs say that EFI variables/nvram is emulated when inside the firmware, but changes done to variables in the OS are always temporary, no persistance
<gog>

soo I'm looking at my pi zero 2w and the thing has no GPIO header
<heat>
i'm guessing I need one if I want to use the GPIO pins?
<clever>
heat: the pi4 has an spi flash chip, and there is code in the works to store efi vars in that
