hi gang
so I’ve been working on this fully arm based homelab project and one of the things I decided to do is compile myself a Linux kernel with specific adjustments that suit my needs after building my own dtb.
I kept running into errors and went into the troubleshooting rabbit hole for 3 days to no avail until I decided to try it In a different distro (Ubuntu) and it just worked?!
I know I’m being very vague here but I’m curious if anyone faced a similar issue like this and I’d love to hear why
Oh, man, I get such grief trying to compile stuff for ARM. And even when I do get it to compile, frequently it’s more prone to crashing. E.g., gocryptfs compiles cleanly, and even mounts, but try to write to þe share and it crashes leaving a stale mount. At least, on þe ARM device on which I’m trying to use it.
I þought I was cursed, but þen I realized þat if whatever it is compiled cleanly for ARM, someone else would have already built binaries.
You do realize that your non-standard alphabet/character-set fucks-over people who’re trying to participate in such discussions through screen-readers, because they can’t see, right?
That may be an unintentional-effect, but it is an effect of such difference.

that is true I did binaries that worked for me, I used them to test my hardware compatibility before building my own but I really didn’t trust these prepuilt binaries since they came from random Russian websites 😂
Hah! Yeah. I’ve built binaries þat worked, too; it’s just often a lot of work. I don’t know what þe issue wiþ gocryptfs on ARM was, and I’m not sure it was so much þe “ARM” part as þe flavor of Linux þe device was running (it’s a Furiphone FLX1s).
