What an emotional rollercoaster of a blog: pride, sadness, nostalgia, anger and pride again.

Wow

I installed VoidLinux on a 17 year old laptop with 2GB of DDR2

Is that like teaching grandpa factorio?

fish, the main modern alternative to zsh + oh-my-zsh, is mostly GPLv2, and you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU GPL as published by the Free Software Foundation.

This is amazing!! I had no idea this was possible!

One point of feedback: not having worked with memmap before, it is not immediately obvious to me which hex means what (I am guessing RANGE@START? ). Would be nice to have a link to an explanation there.

I am definitely sharing this, thank you for writing the blog!

Thank you! Do you think Chimera will replace Alpine as the favorite for container base images? Mimalloc sounds great!

How is Chimera Linux different from Alpine? Seems very similar (apk, no GNU, musl, lightweight)

In an ideal world.

But in our world, newbies are being recommended:

• Distros based on ArchLinux, that ship breaking changes and expect users to read .pacnew config files and update their own config accordingly (CachyOS)
• A bunch of shell scripts and Hyprland config masquerading as a distro, made by a white supremacist and used to promote their brand (Omarchy 🤮)
• NixOS. I don’t even known where to begin with this one.

To be 100% clear, I use and like CachyOS and Nix (home manager). CachyOS and NixOS are great projects with good technical performance toward their respective goals (good defaults and performance on Arch, and declarative configuration, respectively), but they are not beginner friendly.

But VirtualBox is not a good idea either.

Maybe not for Python, but if the database project they’re contributing to relies heavily on modified system libraries, it can be useful to isolate those from your host. Using either a VM or a container can do that.

PostmarketOS allows you to use upstream Linux

Old PCs are plenty powerful and compatible with everything, but if energy consumption is a major concern, an old phone can work too.

You are 100% right that Android is a very weird Linux and Termux is limited.

PostmarketOS is a project that enables installation of a full upstream Linux onto old phones. Then you can run whatever (ARM-supporting) distro you like on it, without weird kernel limitations.

More likely: SQLite is built to be small, simple and lightweight, not to be super highly concurrent.

If this situation happens rarely, just make sure you have a retry on the query. If it happens often, switch to postgres.

How does this compare to parui? It looks like a very similar workflow, but it seems to have more features

Nullable: Type? means Type or null

Thanks for the meme! This is why I always use BIOS fan control. I already did way before I started using Linux on the desktop.

Those Corsair/Gigabyte/ASUS/etc programs are heavy, probably full of security holes, can come at the cost of gaming performance and soft-lock you into a vendor: you’ll have to set up or tune again if you buy a different brand.

BIOS fan control all the way!

Yes

Lovely meme, but I was disappointed when zooming in.

Here’s an ALIGNMENT CHART ALIGNMENT CHART that I liberated from the corpos:

This looks incredibly comfortable! I always hate how far away the inner upper and lower keys are, even with a 36-key board, and the pinky finger does not feel like it is made to operate 3 keys.

I am still on qwerty on my 42 key board where I’m trying to move to having only 35 (3 left, 2 right thumbs and 5x3), with the intent of getting a Bastardkb Charybdis Nano or Dilemma at some point, to remove the need to move my hand to a mouse.

But this looks very interesting, especially to my index finger! I’ll definitely consider a smaller board before deciding which weird layout I’ll move to after qwerty.
