nixos boot.binfmt modules don't seem to work for containers. on ubuntu i'd install qemu-user-static and expect containers of other archs to work out of the box, but that's obviously not the case on nixos.
i tried to tweak module options to get rid of wrappers, then tried to get pkgsStatic.qemu to build at all, then tried to write my own nixos module that pulls a .deb from debian snapshot, then i stared out of the midnight window reflecting certain moments in my life that led me to this point
~900 loc removed in ghc in my current patch! housecleaning feels so nice. this is for the final nail in the coffin of stdcall & i386 windows support, to pave way for arm64 windows in the future
to workaround a ghc windows build failure on my laptop i just screwed up the refs filesystem by creating some recursive hardlink or something and no win32 api can save the day so i need to wipe the disk and recreate entire dev environment using my phone's metered connection since the hotel's wifi can barely stream a 240p video, how's your day btw
a lot of foss review processes is actually more about assessing potential damage than actually understanding the patch: how may it break existing stuff, how easy would it be to revert it some time from now, etc. this is not to blame anyone in charge of reviewing anything, just a little reminder to people not having a great contribution experience
a gentle reminder from someone who lived under a communist party regime long enough: public shaming your own private defense sector is very welcome by putin and xi.

i should buy a hand grip and squeeze it a few cycles each time i wait for recompilation. that way I might become strong enough to do a bit of underground boxing some day, you never know
