I’m about to step into the wonderful world of ARM Linux. I work with ARM32 as an embedded developer profesionally (Cortex-M3 specifically) so I’m not a complete newbie. But I’ve never used ARM64, and I’ve never used it with a desktop OS. So I’m doing my research, as one does, to know roughly what I’ll be dealing...

Let’s be honest: I only use Java for Minecraft. So I only debugged with it. But all version, server or client, all launchers. All of them use double (or more) RAM. In the game the correctly allocated amount is used, but on my system double or more is allocated. Thus my other apps don’t get enough memory, causing crashes,...

I’m writing a program that wraps around dd to try and warn you if you are doing anything stupid. I have thus been giving the man page a good read.

I have a few different Linksys WRT54G routers and I’ve installed DD-WRT - build number 44715 - on them. However, this build appears to have been made in 2020.
