this doesn't make much sense to me, kernels are pretty tiny
<midfavila>
don't liveboot images usually use some sort of compressed filesystem, or at least partitions that are sized to be precisely enough for the software and no more?
<midfavila>
since an ISO with empty space reserved in the internal partition table would still take up that space on disk, which isn't necessary except in very particular cases...
<midfavila>
alpine is neat tho
<kris_>
midfavila: by default it'll give you half of the RAM the system has
<kris_>
in this case
<kris_>
but the reason im confused is because the kernel it's booting should be able to just be like "physically" swapped out
<kris_>
i could probably just delete the kernel and extract a new one from the .apk off of the mirror and it would work
<kris_>
but there's supposed to be infra around this

shrugs
<kris_>
i'm not going to bother turning off my VMs to bump them up to like 8gb of ram just to do a kernel update lol
<kris_>
and then back down to 1gb
<kris_>
ramdisking 99% of this shit was stupid anyway
<kris_>
i kinda got carried away
<kris_>
im probably going to just wipe these VMs and reinstall alpine normally
<kris_>
one of them is my rtorrent VM, which i would use void for but they don
<kris_>
don't want to update rtorrent to the current stable release*
<kris_>
and i cba to maintain more packages
<kris_>
with kiss or something it would be really easy but xbps-src kind of irritates me
