[19:14] sourcerer: 2021-08-24 03:59:49 (#jwrd) jfw: So my approach will be: tarball extracts (or tree presses or whatever) to /package/<packagename>-<version> as I've used before, compiles in place, and executables get symlinked in /usr/bin.
[20:15] jfw: dorion: I wasn't contemplating changes to gales or gports there, but rather how to structure new software releases such that they fit well out-of-the-box, no "porting" needed, on gales or even on other unixen if necessary.

[21:53] sourcerer: 2020-12-15 03:16:31 (#jwrd) jfw: I recently learned that while the spotlight was on SSDs, ye good old HDD tech was quietly subverted, cheapened and complicated via Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR)
[22:55] dorion: jfw, I'm using the sabrent ec-uasp.
[23:40] jfw: ty, and looks fine for what it is as far as I can see.
