I have shrunken a APFS partition (macOS) too much lately and was still able to mount it read only using Linux and back up all stuff I needed. But that depends on how corrupted this partition is now.
Maybe you need something like Gparted live ISO in order to get to your data. Check out the Command Line Utilities on that webpage, maybe there is the savior of your data
And about the arch installation, if you want easy mode, just type “archinstall” after ArchISO has booted and your PC is connected to the internet (phone connection via USB works to get internet connection)
Oh, well I’m not quite interested in that right now, I have chosen Arch because I like the wiki and that you find so many packages in the AUR which are easy findable and installable using yay
Yes, I have a VisionFive 2 and I use it to host some websites. I have am Arch Linux image compiled by a user in a forum, but the userspace packages are from a RISC-V repository from a other people working in Arch in general.
I could run my websites but it wasn’t easy at first, because, yes I have Docker but there are almost no images for riscv64, so I had to do some compiling and build images in a local registry. Bu now it works pretty well.
It sounds like the answer to "can I run this application on RISC-V" is very dependent on what the backend for that application is. What's the backend stack for your websites? Are they static HTML sites, or do they have other components? Someone else mentioned that they built postgres and mariadb Docker images for RISC-V, but I don't even know which programming languages can be compiled for RISC-V right now.
Yes. My apps are not static: one is a Django app (Python) using Postgres. I had to compile both Postgres and Python but that’s because I wanted to use them in Docker but there were no images available (maybe there are now, things change fast in this world).
Other was a Rust app, also using Postgres. For this I had to wait until a cryptography library (ring) added support to RISC-V since they use some assembly to improve the performance. After that, it was fine.
I’ve been experimenting with more stuff, in general almost all important languages work, but beware that even if it works, they might not be as performant as in ARM or x86. Java for example, worked but the JVM didn’t have a JIT so it was very slow (this is fixed now, but some distros still ship it without JIT AFAIK).
At that point, I think pulling it out to an appendix is the right thing to do. Whenever I find a book with appendices, I do one of two things.
If an appendix looks like “prerequisite” material, I read it first.
If it looks like “further reading” or “deeper dive” material, I note where it’s referenced in the main text and return to it later.
The main reason I prefer footnotes to end notes is the separation of concerns. When a book has end notes, they are usually mixed with citations. I don’t mind managing 2 bookmarks or the eReader linking back and forth, but I really dislike following the reference to find that it just points at a whole other book.
The worst thing about eclipse I’ve had to deal with is its git integration. The conflict resolution tool is awful and half the terminology diverges from plain git.
The fact that it has a “Push & Commit” button also drives me mad far more than it should
Honestly I’ve never had an IDE whose git integration I preferred over just using the command line, or pulling out Source Tree. Just wish Source Tree was available on Linux…
I haven’t used much Git since I started using IntelliJ IDEs. True, I had to fix some issues when the IDE just refused to do its thing, but IIRC it was one specific situation where I cherry picked changes that I already had, where it got stuck on cherry picking.
I prefer the CLI as well, but when I’m not a dev I supervise practical works in programming classes, where I don’t have much saying in the recommended/required tools
I don’t remember exactly, but the issue is about the existence of a button that makes beginners think a commit and a push are part of the same atomic operation. Not the order of the words on this button
Nothing practical unfortunately since I already have a headless raspberry pi and x86 machine that are no where near capacity. But I do love compiling whatever rust/golang project I’m working on to riscV just to see it run there.
I also have an arm32 box so I have fun running binaries on 4 different instruction sets. Admittedly the novelty has worn off as everything just works.
The work to get the larger linux ecosystem working on riscV is unfortunately outside my domain and skill level.
Definitely interested - is the mainline situation any better than with ARM?
I’ve been bitten before with a device that “supports” a major distribution, but only if you install our custom pre-built image (good luck auditing what we’ve tweaked) and only with our special pre-built kernel that isn’t even an LTS version, and has a bunch of patches applied to support whatever weird peripherals we decided to throw on the board, and will get exactly 0 updates after the initial release.
Raspberry Pi gets around this by being big enough to get buy in from vendors (Ubuntu distributes a special kernel + firmware bundle), but support for all the other smaller knock offs seem shaky at best
is the mainline situation any better than with ARM?
Unfortunately, sounds like "no" currently. The ones that let you install Debian usually provide some kind of custom Debian image for that specific SBC. Like you, I'm not really a fan of that. But apparently there are some desktop motherboards with RISC-V CPUs coming out. Hopefully that will increase the chance of things getting supported in mainline distros.
Yup. Just how cable TV started as “you pay extra for it, but you don’t get any ads!” and then when they realized they had everybody hooked, they started showing ads.
Same thing with streaming services. Pay money for a service with no Ads. Oh what’s that? Now that they realize they are your primary source of content, they are going to turn ads on unless you pay extra? Boom, gottem.
Paying for a service is generally going to result in less of a push to monetize the data though, especially if it’s a smaller provider or a private company.
We can’t just give up and stick with ad supported services, but then not want to see ads… Ad-supported services are always going to have to try monetize you somehow, whereas paid services don’t always need to.
We care about your privacy which is why we are sharing your date with almost 1000 services 998 of which are fully redundant and only 1 is actually needed for the service we provide
Legitimate interests don’t require a banner. The simple fact you see a banner means their lawyers know they couldn’t convince the dumbest judge that they actually need that stuff.
