11:45:08 the OS will most likely still be Linux, regardless 16:58:26 sure, i dont have the words here, but the hardware isnt "standardized" so every board will need its own OS. the server world adapting arm will need to have HPEOS, DELLOS, etc. just like every SBC needs its own OS. with x86 you can run *nix or win on any of it. from what ive read, that will never be the case with arm and risc-v doesnt solve that. though, i hear there is a group of vendors trying to standardize an arm 16:58:26 server architecture so that fragmentation doesnt happen. unless that trickles to consumers, we wont be so lucky. 17:03:14 A lot of hardware makers using ARM and others just use linux. And they port hw components to use their hw. It's just mostly linux. 17:39:47 as I understand it, they've already established a BIOS/ACPI standard for ARM 17:43:55 is there an arm/risc-v future where a software vendor, ubuntu for example, that would only have to build for arm and that build could run on all future arm hardware? i realize that wouldnt happen till people started following the standards so current hardware is out of the question. 17:45:01 SBSA is what I was thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Base_System_Architecture 17:46:09 your question is a bit fuzzy. the userland already runs on all ARM hardware 17:46:15 the kernel is naturally device-dependent 17:46:23 that's really no different than x86 17:46:47 sure, x86 has ACPI to standardize some things, but individual devices still need their own particular drivers 17:50:08 ya never going to get around the drivers part i guess 18:14:48 thanks for the link btw 20:36:00 https://twitter.com/veorq/status/1305968387152117766 20:36:28 this sounds like using GPUs to brute force secret keys, not for mining 21:38:54 more like brute forcing wallet passwords. Secret keys are too hard to crack.
