2019-08 Summary

I managed to take it quite easy this month, which well is quite nice, mainly watched animes, (re)watched some movies, re-readed entire webcomics (Rain and El Goonish Shive), discovered some (The Legend of Jamie Roberts (same author as Validation), Venus Envy, Lunar Baboon, Closet Space …)

Gentoo (or lack thereof)

I crash tested NetBSD-daily on 2019-08-29 with ZFS on root, without success but I still have it on my laptop, tried asking on #netbsd on freenode but I got no answer. The way I did it was: create a zfs for NetBSD, extract the binary sets and reuse the grub+libzfs that I have with gentoo (also used for booting alpine), add grub entry for NetBSD such as:

menuentry 'NetBSD' {
	knetbsd /ROOT/NetBSD/@/netbsd
	knetbsd_module /ROOT/NetBSD/@/stand/amd64/9.0/modules/solaris/solaris.kmod
	knetbsd_module /ROOT/NetBSD/@/stand/amd64/9.0/modules/zfs/zfs.kmod
}

2019-10-22 Update: Also note that I tried a bunch of stuff in the nice kernel prompt for picking a boot device, and yeah the first disk isn't encrypted on my laptop, but the second disk is and I got integrity checks.
