How do you figure Pis have bad integration with Yocto? https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi For what it's worth, the entire Pi lineup is also well supported by Buildroot. In-tree, no less.

Absolutely. It's a part of the kernel I find very interesting. Here's a related bit from the kernel docs that describes the initramfs and switch_root in more detail. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation&#x

Believe it or not, you don't even need a physical disk to boot at all (on many systems). The first step in the boot process is loading the boot firmware. On a BIOS/UEFI PC, this gives you Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) [0]. R

In my area, a competitor just finished installing fiber to my neighborhood, and is offering symmetrical gigabit speeds for less (nearly half the price) than I was paying for 500/20 Mbps to the incumbent cable company before. The cable

Often users only want QEMU, with a graphical interface on top. Libvirt is not just a graphical interface, but also an abstraction over multiple virtualization backends. It tends to add complexity, while making more advanced usage of specifi

QEMU is also a lovely piece of software, and completely free and open source. It lacks the graphical interface of VirtualBox, but it's more scriptable, in my opinion. In fact, virt-manager basically bridges the gap between VirtualBox a

This reminds me of a tool I built a number of years ago to do unattended installs of Windows over PXE, for an IT services company I worked for at the time. It completed much faster than using DVDs or thumb drives, and could serve many machi

Outer Wilds. I think I discovered it after reading a similar comment in a previous thread. It's a great space exploration game that has enjoyable and forgiving flight mechanics, really interesting and sometimes mind-bending environment

Seems it would be more effective to slightly disconnect the coil wire, in addition to being less work to reverse.

The x86-64 architecture was introduced in 1999, with the first processor introduced in 2003. Comparatively, the 8088, introduced in 1979, was barely older at the time than the 64-bit Opteron is now. It might be time to let i386 go.

I also don't use salt grinders, preferring coarse salt like Kosher or coarse sea salt on most dishes. However, to play Devil's advocate, a grinder is adjustable between fine and coarse.

DDR2-800 has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 6,400 MB/s, and was in common use well after 2010.

Windows has containers? How does that work? I know Windows has WSL and Docker Desktop, but they both run a Linux kernel in a hardware accelerated virtual machine. I wouldn't call that native.

Interesting, that's also news to me. I wonder what the purpose for that is? I suppose it's possible to control the kernel version and cgroup configuration more easily that way, but I imagine networking and filesystem access become

Docker on other-than-Linux platforms runs in a Linux virtual machine, because there's no containers without Linux. Running uname in a container then reports what you would see in Linux, not what the host reports.

That's one of my big problems with WSL, and Microsoft's contributions to open source projects like Mesa. Their Dozen driver implements Vulkan on top of D3D12, a proprietary API only available officially on Windows. This is useless

Do it. I've been gaming solely on Linux for the last five years. Sure, you miss out on a handful of popular triple-A multiplayer titles with incompatible anti-cheat, but I don't miss them. Also, the more users Linux gets, the less
