I generally don’t watch video linked from here. If it’s not in text I’m not interested.
Not anywhere near where it’s practical. I heard that even on Linux on PS4, the performance, especially GPU, is crap, due to the lack of driver. PS5 being newer and far less available in terms of jailbreaking, there are maybe only 3.5 persons booted Linux kernel on it.
Of course, correct me with your latest news please.
IKR? Why every one ignores BSD? They are fully functional systems suitable for casual use cases.😁

Linux@lemmy.ml•Void users, what do you especially like about your distro?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Lore is a next-generation, open source revision control system
3·26 days agoSo is it written in Godot or something?
Oh, cool, Rust!
Believe me, OP, SBCs are much more expensive than secondhand laptops and the performance is crap. If form factor is in consideration, consider a mini PC in the shape of NUC, or just get a Mac Mini M4 (install Asahi). If you want something flat, you can buy a secondhand Macbook with the screen removed.
Always, always choose amd64 or Apple Silicon.
Don’t look for a solution that is technical where the problem is mental.
No worries. My bad.
miniserve, a popular command line program written in Rust to serve static files, also counts down (from three though) before launching the server, just like he counts down from five before someone rewrites your Hanoi Tower game in Rust.
Why are you sharing your program with miniserve?
The indentation is the visual clutter to me.
Linebreaks are meant for casual readability, not end of statement, that’s how we write long statements on multiple lines. Therefore, we need a symbol for end-of-statement.

Linux@programming.dev•Has anyone used Void Linux? What was your experience?
6·2 months agoNot really from the ground up. Their XFCE variant is amazingly convenient nowadays.
I’m that goof who built a desktop-shaped computer with the Milk-V Jupiter RISC-V (RV64GCVB) board last year. The performance was awful compared to recent amd64 setup. The amount of RAM wasn’t an issue, but the CPU was way to slow to even run a graphical interface (read XFCE), or compile some simple program in Rust. It’s equivalent to those arm926ej-s SBCs ten to fifteen years ago capable of running Linux 2.6, and only suitable for writing code in text.
I’d say give it two more decades, at current pace.
That’s fair, but come to think of it, the architecture of the CPU doesn’t really say anything about privacy. Someone can build an RISC-V chip but sneak in telemetry, or you can build yourself a x86_64 CPU and be 100% no telemetry. It’s about the manufacturer, not the architecture.
I don’t think you can ever be 100% sure that the CPU you’re running on is telemetry-free unless you have those kick-ass X-ray machines and examine it yourself. Building your trust on top of something else you deem trustworthy though, is practical. Billions of people are running Intel/AMD off-the-shelf CPUs, and there are perhaps millions specialists in them, what is the chance that a backdoor remains hidden?
The same goes for software. How do you know Linux kernel, OpenSSL, Wayland is trustworthy? Because many people use them, and it’s unlikely a backdoor is there. Think about the sheer amount of software the CPU runs. Don’t you think we shall have a greater concern there?
Hopefully this calms your paranoia about hardware a bit.

1·2 months agoTo be frank, not really. What’s so special about us Lemmings? I mean, so many other people brighter and more experienced than us have already shared. Whatever we said here can only be a subset to that at most, then why not just read the old threads.


Can’t be cheap being a crowdfunded product, but not expensive either. The biggest turn-away I can see is the small screen. Most e-ink readers nowadays start at 6". A 4.x" screen will lose a considerable chunk of potential backers.
