  • It was implied in the discussion: “if you can compile it, it will work”.

    Nope. If you can compile for this microarchitecture, it will work on it. You know what was implied, I know what was implied, but you choose to run in circles and yell “Look! This person doesn’t know that program compiled for one architecture can’t run on another!”

    There’s SPARC.

    Me: says about -mcpu=native

    You: oh, yeah, there is completely another architecture.

    Ooorr…

    There’s plenty of ARM processors before Cortex. There’s SPARC.

    Did you just said that SPARC is ARM processor? Who tf are you?

    As mentioned: online assembly

    What now?

    online assembly

    . . .

    endianness

    What distro runs ARM in big endian? Name one. I think you are just trying to throw as much arguments you don’t understand as possible. EOF.





  • ARM software support is just generally rough, yeah it’s good on RPi (and Mac) but on other boards it typically sucks, namely the cheaper boards OP would be buying.

    Let’s see… Not counting Rock64 which is popular and AARCH, I also have chinese noname Espada E-726 TV Box on Allwinner A10, that(box) nobody knew about. Built bootloader, built kernel, installed system on SD card, it works.

    I’m a big docker user and just the other day I was trying to run I believe Mastodon and Lemmy on an ARM device but there was just no image for it.

    (It’s a GIF)

    I’m sure I could build an image myself but for someone just getting into Homelabbing (like OP), x86 is the platform to use.

    It is easier to not use Docker.






  • While you are correct with insanity of running bare-metal, this argument is manipulative. Indeed, no sane person will ditch existing kernel(e.g. Linux of FreeBSD) and write one themselve, running program in common OS is not bare-metal.

    Another manipulation is VM vs per-dervice dedicated hardware.

    Redundancy is also easier, should I decide it is worth the hardware investment.

    Same thing valid for regular userland.
