Cool to hear that a #lawyer firm has switched to #linux ! https://decoded.legal/blog/2021/11/runni.. Great to see the #os moving into new spaces!
Awesome, an #opensource #os written in #cpp called #toaruos https://github.com/klange/toaruos *Very* impressive #hobby OS.
Okay, the #sxmo #os for #linux #mobiles appears to actually be pretty cool: https://linmob.net/playing-with-swmo/ Checking out their #website - it seems to be good enough to be a #dailydriver https://sxmo.org/ I really like it a lot! Well worth checking out once I can finally #purchase a #linux #smartphone !
#fairphone is interesting for sure, offering a 5 year #warranty and 6 years of #updates https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/.. It's a shame in runs #android - but apparently the #invested in getting #lineage #os to run on it. It apparently comes with a #screwdriver and aims to be #repairable and #maintainable ! The #specs are nothing to sneeze at either - it's very #powerful unlike something such as #pine 's #pinephone ...
That's something - the entire #google #language of *all* #machines on #campus - irrespective of #os - have switched to using #chinese as the #default language... There was some kind of #reset #workaround , but not even that worked when I went to #login to #gmail ... I've never quite seen a #bug like it. Perhaps the entire #infrastructure was #compromised ?
Very interesting, a #linux #distribution aimed at #arm #chromebooks https://tuxphones.com/cadmium-linux-for-.. Could be worth considering for #pine 's #pinetab #device - that thing desperately needs a better #os !
Okay, this is highly #cool https://github.com/cesanta/elk It allows #js to be run on #embedded #devices - super awesome! This could make a great base for a #small #os !
@barray on Fri Sep 03 13:33:31 UTC 2021 said: &eI think I now fixed the #infiniteloop #build #script problem with the #coffeespace #server ... I have no idea what was causing it, I believe it might be because the #debian #os is so old! As I mentioned in a recent #article #servermigration - the new one is really #lowend https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/serv.. Now that #ffmpeg isn't always running, I've claimed back approximately 0MB of #ram ! Hmmm... Running `ps aux` I can see that #java is using a decent chunk...Nope, definitely keeps restarting the build process... Interesting. Does it for the #coffeespace #build #script but not the #deadsocial build script, despite them being identical... One endlessly builds, the other does not. Very weird.
Very cool #snake #implementation written in #rust as an #os https://github.com/trusch/snakeos What should just be 512 bytes seems to balloon up to 212kB though...
And this again outlines why I don't want a #os from the likes of #google on my #laptop https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/.. Whilst this could happen on an #opensource #os like #linux (which #chromeos is based on) - the idea is that Linux undergoes a better review process and gets a staggered release of the #kernel as different #distributions pull in the latest changes.
Very cool, #debian seems to be adding #arch 's #pkgbuild #packagemanager https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/06/th.. This should bring *very* up-to-date packages to the #os - looking forward to seeing how it goes!
Great point, the new #windows 11 #os is likely to create a large #ewaste #crisis in the middle of a #chipshortage https://hackaday.com/2021/06/29/the-grea.. #microsoft couldn't have picked a *worse* time to cause such a situation.
Great point from #drewdevault about overriding default #browser behaviour: https://drewdevault.com/2021/06/27/You-c.. You're not going to build a more native experience in #js than the #os can provide, simple as.
