GNU Hurd is technically alive, just horribly obsolete.

Cool Retro Term has finally added hardware support. They even included the vertical wrap-around when a capacitor is about to pop!

kill automatically sends SIGTERM (15) if no other signal is specified. It’s the gentle way to terminate a process.

I’m going to guess you’ve never been part of a project with complexity and sheer black magic fuckery comparable to Ventoy. The developer (a singular person) had to make a choice between:

• Pandering to a small group of vocal open-source extremists, dedicating a large part of their time to changing the incredibly complex build process to also build the binaries of other open-source projects, potentially at the cost of stability, eventually arriving at a product with the same feature set, pleasing some open-source extremists, but still receiving criticism for “taking a year to respond to a genuine concern”; or
• Not doing that and focusing their effort on stability and compatibility fixes to arrive at an improved product.

I’ve read the original issue thread front to back, and it’s a fucking clown show. I can’t blame the developer for not wanting to engage with those people. Nobody is entitled to the developer’s time or attention. Right now the issue is being worked on, which is more than most of the whiners can say about themselves; if you think that’s still insufficient, do better.

Whichever pocket doesn’t conain the keys.

And the keys go in whichever pocket doesn’t contain my phone.

Yes, but people have concerns. Ventoy is fully open-source, but the build process pulls binary blobs (compiled executables, think of them like blob chips) from other F/OSS projects, which is an issue for some people. They have legitimate concerns about trusting Ventoy because they have to implicitly trust the projects that Ventoy pulls from but can’t verify what is getting pulled. If such a project were to become compromised (the way XZ-Utils was), it would eventually spread to Ventoy.

That being said, the developers (or singular developer, not sure) are taking steps to reduce Ventoy’s dependency on external blobs. It’s a difficult task and they have limited resources, but they have acknowledged that it is an issue and are working on a solution.

From the Ventoy developers: the blobs are getting unblobbed.

The minimum spec is whatever e-waste you can find that still powers on.

My home server has an i3-4160, 10 gigabytes of mis-matched RAM, a ten-year-old 240 GB SSD with 36000 hours on it, and three 1 TB hard drives in a RAID5 array each with ~25000 power-on hours. It runs Proxmox on the metal with a virtualized OPNsense, Nextcloud, and Jellyfin server (plus smaller services). Jank levels are high, but not fatal, and it was mostly free.

Gparted. I’m pretty sure it’s bundled with Mint. Identify which partition it is, then simply delete it. Then you can create a new partition on the newly unallocated area or extend an existing partition onto it.

You might have to edit the bootloader’s boot entries and remove the Windows boot manager.

“Fuck around and find out”?

As long as it’s not watery diarrhea brown (a.k.a “gruvbox”), I’ll take it.

I don’t see how this might be interpreted as misinformation (8) or any attempt to do harm (8.1) either to a prospective user or Nix itself. Nor do I see how this might be an attempt made or supported by the Nix developers to influence the greater community. If you have evidence to the contrary, produce it.

There is no denying that a vocal group of people are promoting immutable/atomic distributions, or that many are fans of Nix’s declarative configuration solution. Still, that makes it no worse than the people who are pushing back against the adoption of Rust in the Linux kernel, or the proliferation of systemd services, or the adoption of Wayland over X11.

Nice report for “astroturfing”. Please go ahead and point out which rule was violated so I can make a decision.

There was some politically charged drama… I think. There was some drama, anyway. I’m not clear on the details.

It was probably a Twitter-tier disagreement that was blown way out of proportion by a small group of people. If others have details, please don’t enlighten me, I value my ignorance.

Eh.

Without the unique boss designs and gameplay mechanics, the world looks and feels like every other Souls, but with more pixels. Not bad, but not strong enough on its own.

Red Dead 2. Law killed my horse in Valentine, so I decided to walk and hitchhike back to Clemens Point. I wrestled a bear, found the plague village, blew up a KKK gathering… just regular old west things.

The early STALKER games are also nice, if you’re into that sort of atmosphere. Nothing beats the feeling of sitting in the rookie village next to the world’s most mediocre guitarist.

Perfectly reasonable to be attracted to physical traits or customs (clothes, hairstyle, body modifications) that are typical for a particular culture or ethnicity.

The problems start when attraction is contingent on belonging to a particular ethnicity.

That’s wishful thinking. Users don’t give a shit as long as the problem goes away without having to lift a finger.

They have a half-assed solution without a problem. The next logical step is to create a problem.

Same, 770 pro 80-ohm from Custom Cans. I immediately recognised the removable headband padding.
