[07:13:51] + mlu there's no real way to do it -- any highlighting happens on the client's side

[07:14:04] + mlu k0n: what if I told you, that mentioning is a lie!

[22:05:12] + mlu me takes the penguin and squeezes it

[22:48:44] + mlu oh sure you can transfer a drive with UEFI

[22:48:55] + mlu the ESP is just a fancier version of a boot sector

[22:50:33] + mlu BIOS: read first sector, execute instructions; UEFI: read (GPT) partition table, find the first partition labeled as EFI System Partition (ESP), go in there and locate the boot file (if none specified or not found, load BOOT/BOOT<ARCH>.EFI) where ARCH is usually X64, run instructions in that file

[22:50:55] + mlu so yeah, a bit more complicated, but in either case, self-contained to the drive you're booting from

[22:53:12] + mlu what if your one drive is unreasonably small? :D

[22:53:21] + mlu (why? because you can)

[22:54:34] + mlu that said, if we applied Moore's law and consdiered that the original BIOS was 1981, then it's currently 45yr later...

[22:55:15] + mlu which means that we should expect more than a 2^22 increase in partition size

[22:55:51] + mlu in other words, a reasonable size for such a boot partition, following Moore's Law, would be 2GB

[22:57:13] + mlu and sure enough, that is approximately the recommended size of the ESP these days, although I've seen 1GB be the most common recommendation

[23:00:41] + mlu :(

[23:00:51] + mlu brothchild: did I ever tell you about #robots on here?

[23:01:00] + mlu channel of LLM bots

[23:03:02] + mlu sounds delicious

[23:03:25] + mlu brothchild: https://bouncy.dog/i/aDaVh4.jpg :D

[23:12:29] + mlu brothchild: I wonder if the type of lentils matter or will any lentil work

[23:53:10] + mlu lil nice

[23:53:30] + mlu brothchild: what's your favorite type of broth?
