Sure, they are OSS but how do you know what goes into their binaries? Being open source does not imply that the binaries are not backdoored.

Throw in power adapter, case, and micro sd card for rpi 5. Price difference almost disappears. Do you seriously think that rpi with an sd card going to beat 256gig ssd?

I don't see any good reason to buy raspberry pi over something like this mini pc[1] anymore. For $100ish, you get 8g RAM/256g nvme/intel N95. Not mention the wonderful software support. 1. https://a.aliexpress.com&

Its sad to remember how fast those things got changed to unrepairable junk. I have an X280 repurposed as a server with Debian because its display got crazy and unusable. Repairability of X series is almost non existent now. Corporate greed

On topic of upgrades, here are a couple of tricks I've learned throughout the years which make the upgrade process easier. 1. Use Maven 2. Use BOMs to manage related dependencies 3. No lombok

True, Spring upgrades can be a pain in the ass. There is a trick to make it less painful though. Use maven BOM for version management. As with any framework upgrade, it doesn't make the process entirely painless. But very much less pai

Good move! At least, this will push those pesky Android OEMs to make their drivers available upstream. Its time we have a standardized environment for mobile/embedded use cases like the one we have for PCs. All these stupid little devi

In other words, invest more in men. Years of neglection on their education and up bringing, downright ignoring the needs of young/adult males. And you wonder why the family situation is fucked up. This is a symptom of the end of wester

I'm pretty sure that Rust is a great language for low level stuff, the domain of C/C++. Try to shoehorn it to do more higher level stuff (i.e: vast majority of software developed today), And you'll be fighting battles with th

The thing is I don't want to spend hours and hours to customize the thing. And, those customizations often have undesirable side effects (like degraded performance, messed up app themes, issues after updates, etc). In Gnome I use stock

KDE is too much Windowsy for my taste. Aesthetics are not that great either. In Gnome land, there are no extensions that I cannot live without. Sure, they'll be in a broken state for a while after a new release. And also, I'm tota

I've been using a similar setup for a while now. I just use SFTP for file sharing. Never bothered to try UTM's file sharing feature.

Oh WinRAR. Before my time ended with Windows 10-12 years ago, this was one of the first programs that I install on a new Windows setup. Feature wise, I haven't seen any tool beat WinRAR. Locking, splitting, recovery support, And my fav

Meh! The hype around it does not hold in real world. There is some momentum in a few niches. Other than that, not much getting build with Rust.

This is true for my country as well. Govt taxes cigarettes around 1000%. I'm not kidding, that's a thousand percent tax. Our govt essentially runs on smokers and drinkers tax money.

This is true if you assume that the abstractions identified by the original author is correct and adequate for the life of that app. Usually, it's not the case. There are slight deviations that makes previous abstractions unusable for

There might be love letters like that but any codebase that has been around for couple of years is not that. I'm yet to see any codebase in the industry that I can describe as a Love letter. I'm starting feel like I'll never
