RISC-V is not proprietary enough.
RISC-V is not proprietary enough.
So if I’m developing a garage door opener using ESP32 RISC-V module, I’m not a RISC-V developer? The dev tools and the cross-compiler only come in x86_64 variant, they simply won’t work on RISC-V laptop. But at least they provide a Linux installer.
The only use case I can think of is to build Debian packages on a target architecture without cross-compilation, because many packages do not support cross-compilation, but it’s more an issue of poor build scripts.
Targeting developers is, I dunno, misses the audience. It would have been a great netbook, or a Raspberry Pi replacement.
If I develop something for Risc-V arch, it is probably some embedded thing with 100 MHz CPU and 2 Mb RAM, and I am cross-compiling it anyway on my more powerful PC.
It’s false that you cannot sell GPL-licensed work.
Busybox was quickly replaced by BSD-licensed Toybox everywhere for that exact reason.
Copyleft licenses (like the Gnu General Public License) mandate that all derivative works remain free.
This is false. It’s perfectly legal to take GPL-licensed work, modify it, and sell it. As long as the work itself does not reach the general public, you don’t need to release it’s source code to the public (e.g. your work for the military, you take money for your work, and provide source code to them, but not release it publicly).
The first one is a fancy CPU warmer. The second one will play loud noise through your headphones, and setsid
will make sure you can’t stop it with Ctrl-C.
There was a thread about console commands seen in movies or TV, when the actors need to do some ‘hacking’ on camera. And the most common one was just installing updates to your Linux distribution of choice.
My go-to joke is
cat /dev/urandom | pxz | grep haxx
Or if you want to be nasty
setsid sh -c 'cat /dev/urandom | pacat -p'
As for puns, less
command does the same thing as more
on MS-DOS.
tar c file | pxz > file.tar.xz
Because military engineers overengineer these things from the most expensive materials available, and they also perform frequent maintenance on them, which is also expensive.
I’ve used FreeBSD for about a month in 2005, and still can’t stop talking about it.
Nah, russia used their only opportunity for a blitzkrieg in 2022. Now they have kilometers of minefields in every piece of land they try to capture. Blitzkrieg only works on unprepared opponent.
Eeeh. Backporting the bugfix also seems unlikely. So in conclusion, I gotta build it myself. I don’t want bleeding edge, I want less bugs. Yeah, plasma_wayland works okay, but not with two monitors.
Is there a way to install the latest Plasma to Debian stable, without breaking the OS too much or installing everything to /usr/local? The crashes when an external monitor is unplugged annoy me a lot.
My home provider had IPv6 for like two years, after I specifically opened a support ticket for it. Now it’s broken and they won’t bother to fix it, because no one else asks them.
You can kinda sorta run Linux userspace on Android, with a bit of compatibility layer.
I’ve worked with programmers from Europe, they have above average pay.
Nah, Office 97 was the last decent one, Office 2003 is trash due to app menus all messed up. LibreOffice is modelled after Office 97.
cat /dev/urandom | pxz | pacat
I prefer my CPU heating and my speakers blasting noise.
Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.
VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.
