Well shit. I wonder if all Linux systems are affected, the testing in the repo doesn’t cover Arch for instance. For now I’d assume the answer is yes.

I like the idea, and I don’t hate the name. I read through the readme and I don’t see anything that I think is dumb or a bad idea. This might be the first FF fork that I try.

I agree. LFS is a project, Gentoo is a system you can actually rely on. LFS is fun to go through but not on your main machine IMHO.

I know a couple of people who got into some trouble for getting free points like that. Not saying every company is looking for it, but I know some are and not all the companies they worked at where huge mega corps. Just be careful out there people.

Has something changed recently? Last time I looked at Servo it was just an engine, not a full browser. The servo project wants others to use their rendering engine to create browsers and use it as an alternative to Electron.

Yeah, if we lump microcode and firmware into the mix the list of working systems gets very short.

To expand on this: most Linux users have some proprietary software on their computer. Whether it’s a GPU driver, a video codec, or some applications they find useful. While it is possible to use a computer with a fully FOSS distro I don’t think that’s the norm.

Agree, playing through TOTK right now and I fight everything, backflips ftw.

I can’t wait to get a rental car that doesn’t allow me to use my own maps.

I recently tried it again on arch and had serious steam issues, any tips?

ARM = Acorn Risc Machine

If it was actually pocketable I would have bought a second switch for on the go. But it’s not small enough for that, and it drops functionality from the slightly larger model. If either changed I think it would have sold better.

I think not being dockable killed it for most people, that and it not being a pocket system. I think if either of those changes the for the better it would sell well. If it doesn’t fit in my pocket I might as well get the big one that docks so I can play on the TV when I’m in the mood.

I have a feeling that a Switch 2 Lite is on the horizon, Nintendo loves a console variant. Not that the S1 lite is pocketable, but maybe they will shrink it more this time. I went down a somewhat similar path, only for me it was GBA and emulation on my Steam Deck that really made me realize I missed having pocket games that are real games and not mobile bullshit. I modded my old GBA with a modern screen and battery and it’s been my goto device for portable games. The OG DS dropped as I was graduating highschool and going into college, and the 3DS completely passed me by. I keep thinking about getting a used one but their prices are still a little high for me.

How do we murder it quickly

Ok, fair point about it being in Snow Crash. I can forgive it a little bit now. I still don’t love the name, and I think we should come up with something better for the eventual fediverse version of the same idea.

Let’s stop giving meta credit. Metaverse is a shit name anyway. Cyberspace is cooler and it’s still not that cool.

I had this issue at work, I was able to fix it by using the windows media creation tool instead of just writing the iso to the drive. Not sure why that worked, but it has every time so far.

A thin client for a NAS? That’s a hard no for me. Take the GPU out if you don’t need it, put a more efficient PSU and it will sip power as long as you aren’t running 27 virtual machines on it. I guess it’s more space than a thin client, but I have no idea how you are getting multiple HDDs or SSDs in a tc. USB is trash at long term data storage, and having a bunch of external drives and cables isn’t superior to a slightly bigger box. Not to mention anything that’s actually sold as a thin client probably won’t run ZFS very well if at all. If it’s not ZFS and it’s not hardware raid what the hell is the point of having network storage? Save the TC for a docker host or host a VM on your NAS that it can connect to instead.

TrueNAS. More control for slightly more work up front. Hardware will be easier to maintain. Lots of gamer desktops that won’t run Win11 available that probably have enough SATA ports to get the job done.
