    Many.

    But as your question is not very specific, my answer is as well :)

    Why doesn't that surprise me? Speaking of which, have you managed to update glibc? I am still using 2.33 as we speak. I have a bootable 2.34 based rootfs but it is currently "officially" flakey. It will probably stay that way until just before glibc-2.35 is released (January-ish). :-/

    no, i am lost behind gentoo :)

    same here, what does 2.34 do that cant wait ?

    I have a bootable
    2.34 based rootfs but it is currently "officially" flakey.

    upgrading to much can break a system, so i keep amd64 in gentoo for stable ebuild atleast for @system ebuilds

    It will probably stay that way until just before glibc-2.35 is released (January-ish). :-/

    yes yes, needs more gentoo developpers to solve it :=)

    recently i have created 3 gentoo ebuilds so fuglu 1.0.1 is now in ::fidonet overlay

    small steps for me, but who did go to the moon for the simplfy ?

    Hey Benny!

    I am still using 2.33 as we speak.

    same here, what does 2.34 do that cant wait ?

    Totally break the new firefox-91 builds. seamonkey-2.53.9 works though so it isn't a total loss unless of course you *NEED* firefox, especially the esr source. Also firefox-91 claims that you won't be able to compile it on older systems. So far my experience seems to indicate the exact opposite. It is early though. Anyhow some people need firefox to properly stream from amazon and the such since seamonkey cannot - and more than likely every other gui browser except the google one (chrome or chromium or ?????).

    i keep amd64 in gentoo for stable ebuild atleast for @system ebuilds

    +1

    I am in the process of upgrading three machines but am sticking with glibc-2.33 for more or less the same reasons as you. Two of them don't have gui's and seldom have a monitor and/or keyboard attached. The one I am replying to your msg, where Little Mikey's Brain resides, is a prime case.

    seamonkey is firefox + thunderbird :)

    seamonkey-2.53.9 works

    its just silly it ads www to any url, so the hostname cant be found

    2.53.8 does not do this shit

    i still love mozilla not force https on all webpages, this is a job for webservers not for www clients, doh

    though so it isn't a total loss unless of course you *NEED* firefox,

    you need links with fb0 support :=)

    especially the esr source. Also firefox-91 claims that you won't be
    able to compile it on older systems.

    i currently compile chromioum, it takes time, ebuild ask for 4GB ram, and 9GB harddisk space as minimum to compile it

    i read in the source of it it drop compile with gcc, and uses clang to solve it, maybe on your os badly brokken ?

    Hey Benny!

    you need links with fb0 support :=)

    Not for streaming since it won't work without backup from mplayer. If so I'd just use mplayer without the browser and "-vo fbdev2" which will work with kernel drm drivers such as inteldrmfb. On a half decent server that will more than likely to be astdrmfb and "-vo fbdev2" will work with that as well.

    maybe on your os badly brokken ?

    Then why do they (gcc and friends) work with glibc-2.33? They are all exactly the same source/versions I am using on moosile, which is what I am calling the latest glibc-2.34 based rootfs. Everthing other than glibc is exactly the same.

    Also, if it can't be compiled with gcc and friends it ain't worth diddley-squat methinks. I see little good coming from the clang crowd. How about you?

    would this be impossible in gopher:// ? :)

    I've done it with ftpd on a wireless connection so I think it might be possible. However given the lack of client software it more than likely isn't worth the effort getting it to work. At least mplayer can handle ftp protocol whereas firefox is now a no-show. Oh well ... it was fun while it lasted.

    ssh only ?

    That and binkd. One of the other machines (no gui etc) is hosting the binkd connection for "Little Mikey's EuroPoint".

    11.2.0 is still masked in gentoo, if thats matter for glibc

    I think it is a bigger matter for the kernel version but there are patches for gcc-10 (possibly other versions) to bring them into sync with linux-5.12 and newer.

    if glibc is only tested with specifik gcc versions, it will give problems if its changes on newer gcc version not tested, unless c code is specifik say we only want that compiler options, and the gcc does not change this option in a incompatibel way

    Hey Benny!

    i still plan on make the husky github build on this, so i can
    finaly drop sf.net cvs read only problem

    Interesting. Personally I'm still doing things like this without any networking, ssh or otherwise.

    it will give problems if its changes on newer gcc version not
    tested

    As we speak the biggest issue is the kernel version and as of today I'm returning to using 5.10 kernels for the two stable systems.

    As you can see both gcc and binutils are the same versions as used on the "Linux version 5.14.8" was. Beats me if a glibc-2.34 based system would have fared any better. Maybe I'll try it soon but not today.

    i just use python :=)

    if it cant be shared with gopher its not worth of shareing :=)

    Now you're sort of talking my language. I was never into gopher but maybe that could change?

    any news of the termux ?

    Not since getting binkd working. For the record I used clang to port it which I am not too proud to admit here. As far as I am concerned termux is the only decent app for Android based so-called smart devices. A gcc port would have been best.

    unless debian fucked apt-get :)

    Heh, heh. So far I haven't had any issues with it but I hardly ever use it. I'll send a msg from there later just to remind myself what still needs to be done. I definetly have the basics working.

    good plan, more coffee for me now

    I am just getting started after having my caffine booster shot.

    Hey Benny!

    if you did the husky clang compile in termux it would be complete

    I didn't know there was one. I'll have a looksee later.

    not the gcc bugs there ?
    or upgrade features :=)

    It has it all. :-/

    Now that the 5.10.68 kernel is booted everything looks a tad more stable.

    without python there would be no gentoo anyware

    Are you bragging or complaining?

    curl can du gopher://

    That is news to me.

    A gcc port would have been best.

    start createing it :)

    If it really mattered any I would. I see little value in any of that. But I still believe termux is the best thing I've seen on those devices.

    and a tftp server

    Speaking of streaming, mplayer will work with that. I am less confident about gopher.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    yep

    Now that the 5.10.68 kernel is booted everything looks a tad more
    stable.

    5.10.68 is also current stable on gentoo

    without python there would be no gentoo anyware

    if i was there would be no fuglu on gentoo

    gcc can be crosscompiled, so one does not need the mobilphone to do this, i do the same now here when my linux vps have not ram and harddisk space enough, shrug to linode :=)

    Speaking of streaming, mplayer will work with that. I am less
    confident about gopher.

    curl gopher://example.org/some.mp3.file.mp3 | mplayer

    dont see why it could not make to work

    Hey Benny!

    if some make the husky.vim embedded editor it would be a dream

    Make it so. Personally I like the way I've been using it all these decades without the need/use of a .vim and it can easily be ported to any editor you care to use.

    It works as you can clearly see and has been for ages now. I have a version running on aarch64-unknown-linux-android (termux) and posted a msg to you here from there.

    5.10.68 is also current stable on gentoo

    I can definetly understand why.

    curl gopher://example.org/some.mp3.file.mp3 | mplayer
    dont see why it could not make to work

    I believe you are correct and in the case of mplayer it claims to be able to handle gopher without the need for curl as it uses some ffmpeg lib in order to facillitate that accessibilty. I have yet to try it though and will probably have to set up a gopher server first, probably on wireless.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
