It is a lot of fun! Right now I’m back to arch, since I don’t have a lot of time, but funtoo does right those older decisions in gentoo which do not make sense in these day and age. And the updates are fast, really fast, since they use git!
The downside is the docs aren’t as good. Not even close. The wiki for gentoo is a great source of information.
I don’t like the kiosks at all and it seems like the service is slower when you use them. It’s like no employee feels responsible for your order. The food can be good, the biggest variation I usually see is in the fries, sometimes they are hot and fresh and other times you can tell they’ve sat for a while.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is that so many places don’t adjust the volume properly to the amount of people in the place. If I go to a sports bar near me for happy hour, they have the music the same volume as when a big game is on and the place is packed.
You can seed anonymously with I2P. It has a built in torrent client. If you don’t want to use it, there’ qtorrent which supports I2P and anonymous mode.
With qtorrent you can seed in both the clearnet and I2P at the same time. Either just use the open trackers or postman’s, or both. Either way, having them on I2P would be great.
I2P makes anti-hacking server protections go mad. You first need to check whether your servers TOS doesn’t say anything about port-scanning or hacking.
RISC-V is better for Linux due to driver support. Vendors making hardware are more likely to use RISK-V for their controllers due to the costs. Modern computers are putting more functions under control of kernels that run on proprietary compute. (There exists a chart showing how little the Linux kernel directly controls.) As more of those devices run RISC-V, they will become more discoverable.
Also, those that can design or program tge devices will have more transferrable skills. Leading to the best designs spreading, and all designs improving.
Places in a computer with compute (non-exhaustive, not all candidates for RISC-V):
BMC
Soundcard (or subsystem on mainboard)
Video card (GPU and the controller for the GPU)
Storage drives
Networking
Drive interface controlling card
Mainboard (not BMC)
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
UPS
Printer
Will it be perfect? Nope.
A lot of the vendors will lock things up as well.
This talk surprised me at the time. I was starting the eye opening experience of design hardware. Linux more orchestrates the hardware than controlling it.
For me it opened my eyes to the idea that all you really need is some CPU time and a little RAM space to have a full-fledged performative system. Sure, there will be a large attack vector for remote spying, but if you just want to code and play games then it’s pretty amazing how little you need :-)
There’s also the fact that Arm doesn’t really work with arbitrary PC style hardware. Unless this got fixed (and there have been some pushes) you have to pretty much hard code the device configuration so you can’t just (for example) pull a failed graphics card and swap a new one and expect the computer to boot. This isn’t a problem for phone (or to an extent: laptop) makers because they’re happy to hard code that info. For a desktop, though, there’s a different expectation.
RiscV does support this, i believe, so in that sense it fits the PC model better.
Did you read the entire post? They clearly state multiple times that re-releasing would be fine too. They’re saying if the companies aren’t planning to do anything why not just set stuff to free there’s no harm on the older consoles for doing so. If they release them on say the switch or Xbox we can atleast purchase them to have fun. Look at pokemon the entire community wants to play the old games but aren’t able to unless they buy from a private seller.
Most who use Arch prefer to use a customized tiling window manager instead of a desktop environment. I tried using i3, and I do understand tiling WMs, but they’re not really for me and I won’t be able to do a crazy design out of them.
