[2022-01-09T00:58:52Z] <acheam> yeah vim is too much [2022-01-09T05:03:15Z] <testuser[m]> Hi [2022-01-09T05:21:22Z] <noocsharp> hi [2022-01-09T06:49:25Z] <dilyn> o/ [2022-01-09T07:05:57Z] <testuser[m]> dilyn: how much faster did ur kernel build get with the patchset [2022-01-09T07:06:03Z] <testuser[m]> It only saved 15 seconds for me [2022-01-09T07:07:23Z] <testuser[m]> 1min 2sec to 47 sec [2022-01-09T07:09:42Z] <dilyn> I think it might've roughly halved i'm not sure [2022-01-09T07:09:52Z] <dilyn> it felt like it finished almost immediately lol [2022-01-09T07:13:58Z] <testuser[m]> Halved from what [2022-01-09T07:18:00Z] <dilyn> less than five minutes i'm not sure [2022-01-09T07:18:45Z] <testuser[m]> Ok [2022-01-09T07:18:51Z] <testuser[m]> Rich [2022-01-09T07:18:55Z] <dilyn> i'll retest gimme a sec [2022-01-09T07:21:21Z] <dilyn> god the linux tree has so many objects [2022-01-09T07:31:02Z] <dilyn> 2m 4s -> 1m 12s [2022-01-09T07:31:49Z] <dilyn> though it's not quite a one to one comparison (no zfs in the patchset build), my gut was right; roughly halved :v [2022-01-09T07:32:05Z] <dilyn> there's certainly a law of diminishing returns here ofc. the bigger the config, the more value [2022-01-09T08:29:44Z] <Featyre> Hi [2022-01-09T08:30:31Z] <testuser[m]> Hi [2022-01-09T09:08:44Z] <Acid-Bong> So, i'm configuring my kernel and i see the `wl` module in `lsmod` output (i'm using Arch(-based) live ISOs). Internet says it's a module for Broadcom hardware, but i don't have any Broadcom, all wireless on my machine is Realtek. How can it be enabled and should i include it in my kernel? [2022-01-09T09:08:44Z] <Acid-Bong> (context: i'm using a laptop and my goal is to make a monolithic kernel without modules) [2022-01-09T09:09:28Z] <testuser[m]> There can be useless modules loaded aswell [2022-01-09T09:09:31Z] <testuser[m]> U can disable it [2022-01-09T09:09:44Z] <testuser[m]> If it doesn't eork u can always rebuild [2022-01-09T09:12:40Z] <Acid-Bong> How can i be sure whether the module is useless? At least I know that LVM-related modules are enabled because i'm booting with Ventoy, which places the ISOs content onto `/dev/mapper/ventoy` or smth [2022-01-09T09:14:29Z] <testuser[m]> rmmod wl [2022-01-09T09:14:36Z] <testuser[m]> then check if wifi werks [2022-01-09T09:25:51Z] <Acid-Bong> what about encryption modules? My disks ain't encrypted, and neither is the Live CD (I think?) nor the kernel i'm creating [2022-01-09T09:26:19Z] <Acid-Bong> or is the best way to just enable parameters for my hardware only? [2022-01-09T09:31:26Z] <testuser[m]> U can keep extra modules but they won't do anything [2022-01-09T11:05:59Z] <soliwilos> Acid-Bong: You could run "lspci -k", it lists the hardware with their respective kernel modules. [2022-01-09T11:39:22Z] <Acid-Bong> got it [2022-01-09T11:41:12Z] <Acid-Bong> is it enough to use `lspci -k` only (plus at least webcam, it's not PCI, but i know what module it needs)? [2022-01-09T12:05:13Z] <soliwilos> If the currently booted kernel has modules loaded for all the hardware. [2022-01-09T12:06:15Z] <soliwilos> Should be enough, along with vanilla kernel default settings. [2022-01-09T12:07:27Z] <soliwilos> Don't set the filesystem you want to use as a module, though. [2022-01-09T12:08:03Z] <Acid-Bong> i intend to use everything built-in, without modules
