I wish I could get my hands on an Itanium machine and run an OS on it that was written entirely for the architecture, one without any of the dreaded x86 emulation.
I really want to learn more about Itanium, EPIC, and VLIW.
Does anyone here have that kind of knowledge? If love to chat!

@vbabka@mastodon.social @wagi@mastodon.social @cainlee@toot.community @ljs@mastodonapp.uk Man, I even contributed #Itanium assembly code to the kernel. When it was still a thing, that is.
But what good is knowing stuff that shouldn't be?
Yk all these recent exploits are a sad thing for itanium users cause now the latest Linux itsnium kernel has 2 huge vulnerabilities and I wish I could do something but well I don't actually own any itanium hardware wich is embarrassing.
