Here is the mailing list post:

And here's where you can buy a unit if you would like to follow along at home:

Well, my first pull request to OpenWRT.

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/17928

If anybody's got connections with OpenWRT, please put in a good word for me.

I guess you'd know better than me, I never heard the history of that...

Is it really possible to connect disparate systems over like 100Gb eth and get linux to treat them as one machine ?

The only thing that uses more processor than a clean openwrt compile is two clean openwrt compiles.

Also don't say gentoo, gentoo isn't real.

Couldn't we do shoddy-multiprocessing where you just take a bunch of computers, connect them all to a common filesystem, and then just treat them all like NUMA nodes ?

This USAID thing is kind of like the "opening of the archives" post fall of the USSR.

Hah thanks. It's funny because I tried porting Linux to this modem back in 2022 and I DID give up because at that time the question was whether it can be industrialized expediently, and the answer was no.

But more recently I got an itch to drag the thing out of the closet and learn me some kernel dev. At this point it's kind of sunk cost, I'm like "you little sonofabitch I'm gonna win!"

I'm working on porting Linux to a fiber modem (actually a family of modems), and I just finally made it to the end of what turned out to be a much more complex thing than I had anticipated.

I tried using someone else's code but I was not happy with their error handling, and as I was refactoring it at some point I realized they didn't understand the problem at all. What ensued was a 3 or 5 day bender which culminated in a 1300 line file that begins with this comment:

How's it going ?

Well, that was supposed to be a small project :|

Linux Desktop Question:

I currently use a Mac, but I'm thinking my next machine might be a desktop. There's no way I'm gonna use Windows so that means Linux.

I'd like Distro recommendations.

My applications:

1. Brave

2. Thunderbird

3. VSCode

4. Libreoffice

5. Terminal

6. CPU & Memory meters in the top bar

My requirements:

NO BUGS, absolutely not one single bug. I will move heaven and earth to get the thing setup right, but I will not tolerate one single screw-up, no apt-get dependency conflict fuckery, nothing.

I'm open to minimalistic UIs like XFCE or LXDE if they can deliver no bugs. I need control+tab and control+tilda for switching windows.

Any recommendations?

Sam Hyde is dragging on Elon

Word has it their social media guy decided to quit his job in style.

Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform

If Trump had control, he would have given Elon a little slap over this because it re-establishes his dominance as the president.

He can then go on to implement infinijeet immigration policies anyway, but just call it something different.

If he's publicly taking Musk's side, Musk fucking Rules Him.

Apparently President Elon is actually a thing.
