#s390x — Public Fediverse posts

offlineimap3 cannot enter #debian testing because it fails to compile on s390x, which seems to be an IBM mainframe architecture from the 90’s.

I’m really curious how much #s390x computers still exist that are running the latest Debian…

(yes, #offlineimap is a critical part of my setup for offline emailing)

(wasn’t @jgoerzen involved in offlineimap?)

UPDATE: I was wrong, s390x is not legacy but still widely used!

Running #Forgejo is cool. 😎
Forgejo on an IBM #S390X CPU running #Linux is even cooler. 🪭

Either someone found the vanilla #linux-next builds fpr #s390x useful, which I enabled a few days ago in my #Fedora Linux #copr[1] – or it was just some AI crawler that made the number in the download stats go up from 0 to 32. 🤷

I'm trying to boot #ubuntu 16.04 for #s390x in #qemu but all I get for that one particular image is, including the dots:

LOADPARM=[ ]

Using virtio-blk.
Using SCSI scheme.
....

Subsequent images (18.04+) boot fine. I found description of s390x bios and bootindex parameter but I am explicitly passing it.
