[2024-06-12T17:06:21Z] <riteo> wowzies, while configuring my sweet boscaiolo to use partuids (after another catastrophic sata malfunction), I found out about this nice stuff: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/mdev-conf
[2024-06-12T17:06:59Z] <riteo> it looks like they made a bunch of scripts to emulate all of udev's /dev/disk/by-* with just a simple script, placed in `/lib/mdev/persistent-storage`
[2024-06-12T17:07:33Z] <riteo> I really like how most of this stuff can be done in simpler ways. Reminds me of my "usb whitelist" script.
[2024-06-12T17:39:00Z] <fultilt> Looks cool!  I might have to give that a try.
[2024-06-12T17:51:47Z] <midfavila> riteo: iirc before linux had devfs a lot of distros would do something similar
[2024-06-12T17:52:02Z] <midfavila> that or you would have to populate your device directory by hand using mknod
[2024-06-12T17:52:05Z] <midfavila> fun stuff
[2024-06-12T17:52:06Z] <midfavila> :3
[2024-06-12T18:34:27Z] <riteo> sounds fun indeed :D
[2024-06-12T18:34:38Z] <riteo> does devfs populate these "new" directories though?
[2024-06-12T18:35:07Z] <midfavila> i dont believe so
[2024-06-12T18:35:10Z] <riteo> I use it for my initramfs (I refuse to use an SSD unencrypted) for an initial bringup and I don't think that it has those
[2024-06-12T18:35:17Z] <riteo> oh all right
[2024-06-12T18:35:33Z] <midfavila> as far as i know devfs is populated by the kernel's device drivers
[2024-06-12T18:35:36Z] <midfavila> but dont quote me
[2024-06-12T18:35:42Z] <midfavila> im nowhere near an expert
[2024-06-12T18:35:55Z] <midfavila> anyway brb im gonna go culturally appropriate some chicken from the asian deli down the road for lunch
[2024-06-12T18:36:05Z] <riteo> yummy
[2024-06-12T18:36:06Z] <midfavila> you can get a chicken bowl and two riceballs for like 15$ 
[2024-06-12T18:36:08Z] <midfavila> its pretty good
[2024-06-12T18:36:18Z] <riteo> really nice
[2024-06-12T19:01:20Z] <midfavila> am back
[2024-06-12T19:01:22Z] <midfavila> i have acquired:
[2024-06-12T19:01:26Z] <midfavila> 1) tempura ramen
[2024-06-12T19:01:32Z] <midfavila> 1) small spicy chicken bowl
[2024-06-12T19:01:39Z] <midfavila> 1) chestnut bun
[2024-06-12T19:01:44Z] <midfavila> very yummy snacks :3
[2024-06-12T19:21:39Z] <riteo> yummyyyyyyy
[2024-06-12T19:43:16Z] <midfavila> very
[2024-06-12T22:12:39Z] <fultilt> I did try that "mdev-conf", it's looking good.
[2024-06-12T22:29:24Z] <riteo> nice!
