The #creator of #uboot #wolfgangdenk has #died , a great #pioneer of the #opensource and #linux #communities https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2.. People have pointed out that his #code directly runs on #cars , #mobiles and even in #space . This is a pretty #enormous #legacy to have.
I've come across this before, but now I am more interested: https://jdan.github.io/98.css/ 98 #css is a #windows 98 #theme for your #website. It would be really cool to use this to get a #theme for a real #linux #window . I had a quick look and there doesn't appear to be any #linux #libraries ... It would really be a lot of #effort to pull this off, but also very cool.
Pretty true #criticism of #linux #online #help https://matklad.github.io/2022/10/19/why.. It never really helps when #debugging the #problem , it only offers potential #solutions that you randomly #apply .
Even the #creator and #maintainer of #linux #linustorvalds has issues with #ram #corruption https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kern.. I dread to think about mine... #ecc should be available as an #option for all, there's just no excuse in modern times.
Sadly, most of the #pinetab #linux #os #images do not work for me at all: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab#Ope.. Seems to be a dead #device ...
A *really* bad #linux #kernel #wifi #exploit #patch inbound, it has 5 #cve 's against it: https://lwn.net/Articles/911062/ No idea what it is, but it must be pretty bad for us to be getting pre- #warnings about it like this.
Interesting, the #linux #kernel #scheduler could be getting an overhaul which tends to favour #cpu #cores that were used recently, rather than spin up #unused #cores https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nest-l.. In theory this should reduce switching #lag . Could be very cool!
Nice #writeup on #minimal #linux C #program and a #nasm equivalent: https://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/sof..
Okay, it turns out that #serenityos has made their #browser #linux #compatible - something I most definitely would be interested in checking out! https://github.com/awesomekling/ladybird I think that you still need to pull the #source from #serenityos in order to #build it: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/t.. Seriously cool!
#oasis is a really interesting #project to #statically #link the entire #linux #kernel https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis Apparently speed wise the #performance is insane. The #hackernews #comments are worth a #read on this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=324.. Lots of great #arguments either way.
It is so tempting to do this - #convert a #linux #desktop to run #xfce and then #theme it to #windows 95: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VcbzoOjMLHM Very cool! I bet you would really turn some heads with this!
A *very* #impressive #linux 8 bit #microcontroller card #project https://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=33.. It can #boot #linux in just a few #minutes !
Got to love #tinycore #linux - it can run entirely from #ram - including #programs ! https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/02/11/tin..
#pizzalovingnerd has a great #video on an incredibly bad #windows #clone using #linux underneath: https://youtube.com/watch?v=zb36Ozo-tTY The " #analytics " was " #hacked " simply by using the #username and #password that comes in the #installation - fucking insanely bad #security .
Very cool #linux #project that #converts an old #nokia into a more #modern #phone https://hackaday.com/2022/06/18/notkia-b.. Very impressive work! It currently #supports #wifi and #lora - more than good enough.
Pretty cool to see more #lowerpower #linux #sbc #devices https://hackaday.com/2022/06/05/new-part.. Definitely a cool space!
