IKR? Why every one ignores BSD? They are fully functional systems suitable for casual use cases.😁

5·1 month agoIt’s Arch Linux done right.
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?
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.

1·3 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.

Yes! I mean, don’t divert the hate of permissive license to Rust. Those are unrelated but now more people hate Rust because of this.

Go through LFS, but just read it, imagine packages being compiled.
Being slightly more useful isn’t the only problem AI needs to solve. What about morality issue? Sure, slavery is very useful, but some of you, including me, ban Nestlé products. Why do you not have the same standard with products that are produced by, or assisted in production with AI?
