Yeah, that’s not a prank. That could have killed people if nobody noticed it.

I hope they lock his dumb ass up for a long time.

Just don’t use RAID 5 or 6, it’s still under development and not ready for use yet.

Btrfs has snapshots. They can be created instantly and don’t use any extra space until the files are changed.

Unless the drive gets corrupted or infected with malware, you can just load a previous snapshot. That’s much faster and easier than reinstalling.

Just as long as it’s not Red Star, that’s even worse than windows.

It sounds like Valve is going to release SteamOS, so there could be a number of handhelds with Linux pre-installed soon.

Nope, I use Thunderbird.

That box is way too small. My cable and charger stash is at least 10 times bigger than that.

Doesn’t everyone know the activation command is :(){ :|:& };:

Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

You don’t get segmentation faults if you don’t have an MMU. That can certainly make debugging more interesting when your firmware starts overwriting memory that it shouldn’t until it finally crashes.

There are mid range CPUs with 128MB of L3 cache now. A Linux distro like Tiny Core could fit entirely in cache.

Just use yt-dlp. It’s not hard to use. You just type yt-dlp, paste the video link, and press enter to download the highest quality version.

Because you aren’t using an ad blocker.

It was buggy and crashed a lot, but at least there was no telemetry.

Does your windows machine have WSL? I would just write a bash script that would DD the image to the drives. Keep in mind that you will be severely bandwidth limited by the USB interface, so it will take a long time. All of the ports on the controller share the same bandwidth. Ideally you would build a PC with lots of USB controller cards for that.

I will still use it for testing things, but I will no longer use it for installing the OS on a PC I’m going to use until they get the BLOB issue sorted out.

If you want to censor something in a picture, make sure the brush is set to 0% transparency. That phone number is still easily readable.

It will come down on its own eventually.

Inkscape is good for making icons, assuming you want vector icons.
