Alright, what would it take to make a completely open source firmware for the pi? I think there was some prior effort that got discontinued...

Okay, then sell it until you make a million bucks then open source it.

Xeyes is a useful diagnostic tool. (This isn't even just a joke.)

Yes, I would say exactly that. Other languages are of course capable of doing all the things that shell does, but in my experience they really suck at doing it in anything resembling an ergonomic and concise way.

Wouldn't symlinking it be faster and use fewer tokens?

IME it's generally trivial for x86 Chromebooks, but still hit-and-miss for ARM.

Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, I expected F-Droid to be slower... Though I feel like outright rejection is worse.

Is that 2.24.1 which was successfully published on F-Droid on Sept 2? If so that's... Interesting. And useful.

Which is why ZFS reserves "slop space" to make sure that doesn't happen, instead of defaulting to making it easy for users to corner themselves like that.

Yes, it adds some overhead, but it's fine IME. Granted, it helps that compression can significantly speed up performance. (I was very confused the first time I saw ZFS reading data faster than its drives were physically capable of, bec

Who said anything about storage servers? I'm using zfs on laptops and desktops right now because I want data checksums and a filesystem that doesn't have a history of breaking horribly (I dropped btrfs after the second time it hos

NixOS is an open source project that runs great on my 2013 Dell laptop. I think the real point of distinction is that brew depends on Apple's OS and SDK, which somewhat ties their hands, while other OSs don't.

I was under the impression that race-to-idle made "fast" a significant factor in "power efficient"? Obviously needs software to not be terrible and needs to be able to scale the back down, but still.

Okay. Is it inaccurate? Buggy? Defective or deficient in any material way?

Having multiple maintained versions isn't a mystery. (Although figuring out which one you want might be; I'm.... 80%... sure you want the highest numbered "RELEASE", not "STABLE", but not 100%).
