    There is an Amiga FFS driver for UEFI. That's pretty amazing.

    @lain Cool, thanks for the help. I have some idea of all this now. I'll see how it all goes, hopefully tomorrow.

    @lain Oh. Right. If I don't even need rEFInd, that's even cooler. So what it adds is just a better boot menu if you think the one shipped with the UEFI sucks?

    Apparently rEFInd has autodetection, so even if you do make use of it, it seems you don't really need to do anything (unless you want to).

    @lain Ok, cool.

    Oh, right, its just /boot/efi that "needs" to be FAT, so I guess you can then configure it to use the syminks in /boot.

    reminder: always rewind CDs before you eject them! your OS does it before eject commands are processed, but you should take care and do them manually in case this process fails:

    mt -t /dev/sr0 rewind

    @lain Or did you get it to Just Work and it picks up the new kernel when you reboot?

    @lain Do you need to hold its hand when you upgrade the kernel?

    @lain Ok. Does your distro rewrite any ini files for it? Or do you use something symlink-like?

    @href @angristan Yeah, I can imagine that most of the people drawn to BSD aren't people particularly drawn to Electron. :-)

    @lain Do you have a FAT /boot, or what does rEFInd understand?

    I was listening to http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=2518 about dual booting Windows 10 and Linux, and suddenly I realized that hey, this will actually be relevant to me now.

    But then I realized again that, huh, actually maybe not.

    I've had the habit of keeping Windows on every laptop I've bought, but come to think of it, most of the time I've never made use of them. The corner case I've had in mind has been to be able to run Android rooting tools and the like, but lately those things have worked pretty well without Windows too.

    Maybe I'll just let go of the dual boot crutch this time and save all that disk space. There's only 128 GB in the new machine (but it does have an empty bay for more!).

    @href @angristan Right. Electron. Yeah, things doing JIT and stuff are probably in the problematic category that knows too much, and needs to know too much, about the platform to be run by an alternative implementation.

    @href @angristan I thought FreeBSD ran Linux stuff more or less flawlessly?

    Is anyone using not-grub to boot Linux on their UEFI machine? rEFInd? syslinux?

    Why are you doing it? Should I consider it too?

    I think @lain mentioned just using rEFInd?

    @jordyd @0x40 I whole-heartedly disagree with both your posts. C++ as an abstraction is amazingly leaky.

    @iona A friend and I did travel Japan in 12 days once, which was surprisingly rewarding. But we could have easily spent a week or two in just one district in Tokyo too.

    It was definitely a step up from the eurorailing another friend and I did a decade earlier, where we only stayed one day in each place. :-)
