"Linux" is the name of the kernel but people use the word meaning something else. People want a "Linux Phone" but have trouble explaining what software stack they want and how Android is not already it.

Android is also Linux, so Linux isn't the problem - its the userspace. In terms of wakeups, the systemd/dbus desktop architecture is the worst.

That problem exists for all desktop environments, Omarchy or not.

So about the containers for radioactive waste: to use Germany as an example, there are mutliple(!) issues with the simple containers used in the interim storage site Asse, where they simply corroded and started leaking radioactive mate

"that was not what people like me do" Is this kind of thinking normal? Kinda like looking into the world and going like "i must be like that specific thing over there"?

I've been thinking about using Levenshtein to make hexadecimal strings look more similar. Levenshtein might be useful for correcting typos, but not so when comparing hashes (specifically the start or end sections of it). Kinda odd.

I did not feel to do a lecture about vdso's, dynamic linking and interpreters to a person who had to ask about musl. If you like to copy statically linked binaries between musl and glibc systems, some day you will learn about libnss.

In practice it means that the executable format is different, that binaries from GNU/Linux won't run on Alpine normally and reverse.

I think this is a consequence of what the posted site explains in the last text block - social trust is gone.

> And what does such cynicism have to do with "MAGA"? "Everyone i don't like is Hitler". It's a rather immature way of disagreeing. There is a KYM page about this phenomenon: https://knowyourmeme.

I mean, we are already at the point where you have to put a colored tape on all your usb plugs and sockets to know which ones are compatible and which ones will brick your devices. Maybe its time to drop the "universal" aspect and

The "bug" with the OOM killer that i implied is that what you describe does not happen . Which is not surprising because disk cache thrashing is normal mode of operation for serving big files to the network. An OOM killer acting

Valid argument with FAT on spinning rust, invalid with ext4 on ssd. ext4 is extent-based so the fragmentation overhead doesn't happen.

Which was contested by no-one. He complained about systemd switching /tmp to tmpfs, not systemd people making or causing tmpfs in general.
202.
by blueflow 1y ago
The "so you wont need to read files from disk" argument is bullshit because tmpfs data can be evicted to swap. If memory pressure is high you will still be reading from disk. And high memory pressure is also what makes disk-back

by blueflow 1y ago
First, having no swap means anonymous pages cannot be evicted, named pages must be evicted instead. Second, the binaries of your processes are mapped in as named pages (because they come from the ELF file). Named pages are generell not unde

runit. Every other year someone forks it because they think its abandoned, make some commits for some weeks, and then find nothing else to change and start to look abandoned themselves.

Maybe we need a Linux distro based on "inactive" software and look how reliably it performs.

If they had done an activity check they would have seen that half of all projects have zero maintainers.

by blueflow 1y ago
I was thinking about maintaining and keeping things running (like you would do with cars and houses and anything else except software) and less about innovation and change. I doubt there is a shortage of ideas that are being explored. Like,

Its not about competition. RedHat employees pushed their idea of things and the volunteers either ate it up or left. RedHats and Canonicals paying enterprise customers are whats keeping the Linux ecosystem alive. No one else brings the requ

Edit 2: I accidentally minimized Steam to tray, but Gnome has no tray. Steam continues running invisible without being represented somewhere in the UI. One of the developers of Gnome (the only DE where this happens) said this is an applicat

Intuition is based on prior exposure. What exposure do i need to understand GNOME? For example, how am i supposed to discover how to maximize a window?
