Yes, I listed sysvinit for that reason. And Musl instead of glibc. GNU is optional in a Linux distro, except for the kernel’s use of a GNU license.

Sure, I should have gone further.

There are thousands of combinations of the possible layers needed to make an OS.
Systemd/GNU/Linux/GTK or Systemd/GNU/Linux/QT, really…
A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.
Swap files are useful if you are still on EXT4 or similar. If you’re using ZFS or BTRFS or BCacheFS, they have no benefits.
Used it for the last few years. X just doesn’t work right with multiple monitors of different resolution.
You wouldn’t end up at a login screen, you’d end up in the last logged in user’s session.
CPU doesn’t have any secure storage, so it can’t encrypt or authenticate comms to the TPM. The on-CPU fTPMs are the solution, the CPU then has the secure storage.
Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.
People use computers to accplish tasks. That requires running software on an OS, but nobody runs software or an OS just to sit & watch it exist. They run it to accomplish tasks.
Different distros mostly vary in how easy it is to accomplish various tasks. No one distro is the easiest for everything, so people make different choices depending on their needs.
I’m the same way. I’m happy with my life, overall, but of course there are improvements I could make. There is pleasure in achieving something long striven for, and there is displeasure in the striving. More money would achieve some of the things I want more quickly, but none are critical so the balance is better with a longer wait and lower stress.
Lol! All the historical booms and busts before we stopped using the gold standard apparently didn’t happen. Just a conspiracy by historians or something.
RF circuits are the same core principles filtered through black magic and the Laplace domain.
DOH, skipped those two critical letters! Thanks for the correction.
Astronomers already use Julian Dates for various reasons. Right now it’s 2460261.2834606, it’ll be later by the time you read this. Julian dates/times are fractional days starting from January 1st, 4713 B.C. = 0. Just keep counting up from there.
Budgerigars (small parrots).
They’re active, smart, and social. They fly.
So I made them a flight cage that takes up most of the room they’re in. I’d prefer a full walk-in aviary, but don’t have room in my apartment.
Cleaning isn’t bad, I just shop-vac out the litter tray & refill it with a 20lb bag of corn cob bits. Fresh food in the mornings, take it out & replace with pellets around noon. Clean water daily. Millet treats when I let them out (about an hour per day to interact with them).
Feathers get everywhere when they molt. And feather dust. Their room has its own HEPA filter.
Vet appointments are more expensive for exotics than cats & dogs. There are fewer exotic vets, and I always go to a board certified avian vet. Boarding when I go on vacation is also more expensive (about $50/day), especially since they’re flighted.
They’re not anywhere near as loud or destructive as larger parrots, but that doesn’t mean they’re quiet. Just means they might not damage your hearing from the next room. They wake up with the dawn, and let you know about it.
They’re extremely sensitive to airborne toxins (avian respiration is rather different from mammalian). That means absolutely no teflon cookware use, no air fresheners, etc.
Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Or anything Ed Wood directed, really.
I use NixOS & Home Manager. My config is in git
, and I use an ephemeral setup with ZFS & tmpfs:
Mount layout:
/ tmpfs
├─/boot /dev/sda1 FAT32 EFI system partition
├─/nix rpool/local/nix ZFS partition
├─/home/persist rpool/safe/home ZFS partition
└─/persist rpool/safe/persist ZFS partition
ZFS partitions under rpool/safe/ get backed up, the rest don’t need to be. Everything else can be rebuilt (and most of it gets re-created at boot anyway, since / and /home are tmpfs).
Yep, providing exemptions for vehicles under the weight threshold where a commercial driver’s license is required is dumb.
Except Alpine & those based on it, which uses Linux but not GNU libc or GNU coreutils or GNU BASH… Just musl libc & Busybox. I.e. the entire subject of this thread is one of the non-GNU Linuxes.
