Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Most cars already run on Linux

    To a degree yes, but this madman probably has the ECU running Linux.

    Linux is not a real-time OS*. For a car ECU, something like Speeduino would be a more appropriate choice.

    That’s the joke 😉

    You could certainly do it but let’s hope that fuel injection timings and realtime system response aren’t that important to you.

    Worked with the guy, he was a true kernel monster.

    That's really cool! Do you know of real-world systems using this?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

    Know some router platforms that used this and vfio to implement dpdk switching and routing under a Linux control plane.

    Brilliant guys worked on that, think some of the smartnics like Amazon and oracles use it too.
