There are android clients, probably one for iOS as well. If you are getting OOM killed, you need to work out what is using all your memory. The OOM killer is pretty indiscriminate, and will murder processes randomly.

Maybe keep system monitor up and keep an eye on memory usage?

Can you enable SSH, and then try SSH into the box once it hangs?

Any OOMKiller messages in dmesg/journalctl? Do you have swap space?

Nothing in the logs jumped out at me, hopefully someone else can help you.

Rust is definitely not new and niche anymore, its the most popular language in the StackOverflow surveys.

A C book feels dated at this point, there are very strong recommendations that C is to be phased out in favor of memory safe languages. But people have been signalling the death of C for decades, so it probably has a few more years left.

A good C book on how to write memory safe C would be useful. Its been tried many times, but newcomers to C still seem to struggle with allocation and freeing, and thread safety.

Google now gives verifyably false information. So thats cool.

Searched today for “Dynmap default port”. Gemini gave me Minecrafts default port (25565), and then made up another port (25566). The actual port, as per the first real link, was 8123.

This is definitely not piracy related.

There is a difference between feature development and distro maintenance/packaging.

Feature development is done upstream and does flow down to others.

Distro maintenance and packaging is downstream, and almost never provides value to other distros. It usually doesn’t even provide value to the next release. Distro maintenance is a hard, thankless Sisyphean task.

Well, yeah. Its pretty well established that there is fairly limited resources in open source. Loads of software engineers, very few contributors.

Variety is good to a point. Too many alternatives and all you get is a bunch of under-resourced and unpolished results.

which this whole post seems to be an advert for

I got the exact same impression. Reminds me of the XYZ evangelists who only know XYZ, think it applies to every situation, and have little other experience.

The speed in the quality-cost-speed triangle refers to the speed of producing the widget/code. The execution speed would fall under quality.

You can still only pick 2.

Looks like you need to use [code] on friendica?

Take a photo of the output? First few lines are most important, but ideally all would be good.

Edit: actually, dont want to crowd the kitchen, good luck!

Yup, didn’t read your comment properly, but that will also work.

Give the output of route, maybe there is a left over route.

Yeah, I could be wrong, maybe the blame will be attributed correctly, maybe not.

At least with Windows, most people know what its normally like at home, but thats less true for Linux.

Not a lot of sources, I did find a blog post from a 3rd party contractor who did some work to get stuff upstreamed, but I cant find it right now

Only the end-users would have rights to the source under GPL, and its unlikely that someone is going to risk their job by releasing the code.

I’m not sure how FOI would work, but I dont think they just automatically get approved.

I still expect it to be done in the open, one of the things Munich got right was upstreaming all their changes, which meant that even when it was cancelled, nothing was lost. Maintaining out of tree changes is just way to much work

Properly locking down a machine just heavily restricts what you can do with it, to the point that normal things that you or I do day-to-day on our own PCs become impossible. Every time you hit a restriction its very frustrating.

I am drawing from my experience as a developer, so it might be worse for me, but I’ve also heard accountants in the office complaining of similar gripes with their locked down windows systems.

The latter, and it is good from an organisational perspective, but its never a nice experience, and for many, this will be their first real experience with a Linux.

Right now Linux is “That nerd OS”, if this goes badly, for millions it could change to “That OS they forced on us at work, where I can’t XYZ”

Edit: on the GPL front, GPL doesn’t require that you publish your code to everyone, just to the recipients of your binaries. And you only have to give it upon request. So they definitely could keep it somewhat under wraps if they wanted to. If they are smart, they’ll follow the Munich model and stick to upstreaming any changes they make.

Its not that I’m against it or don’t think it can work, I just dont think its going to help drive adoption of desktop Linux. And I think there is a very real risk that it could negatively impact Linux mind share if the experience is particularly bad.

The Munich OS proves its possible. But I’m really curious about how the end users actually felt about it. Maybe I’m wrong and they love it, but I’m very skeptical.

Fwiw, I suspect the “Linux” that ends up being deployed will likely be a glorified thinclient/browser, and nothing like desktop Linux as most of us know and love.

Yt has been constantly suggesting that vid to me, I was afraid to click it in case I got stuck in an “alternative medicine” algorithm hole.

Would be interesting to know if the effect lasts, or if its just temporary.
