Boox doesn't share kernel sources for their devices, so it's basically impossible to get Android updates when they stop supporting it.

Windows NT vs. Unix: A design comparison in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm not a kernel dev, but I've read often enough that there are some places where "everything is a file" somewhat breaks down on Unix. (I think /proc and some /dev)

For an "absolutely everything is a file" system have a look at plan9, it was the intended successor to Unix, but then that got popular while plan9 stayed a research project.

Are you sure you want pipewire and pulseaudio installed and trying to run?

Maybe replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse, unless I'm missing something from your post.

type the distro you use and is and let your keyboard finish it in c/[email protected]

I'd probably prefer a bash script that's called from your CI/CD if done properly, just because I could run the same tests locally with that script. That makes the feedback loop much faster and also allows stuff like auto formatting.

Yes, you can do git hooks, but then you have to keep it in sync with your CI/CD all the time.

If I have two folders in my directory, Dir1 and dir2, what does d <TAB> autocomplete to and what should it do?

Why would they do that on purpose?

Any Croatians here? (feditown.com)
 

Currently on holiday in Croatia; beautiful country etc etc, but what the hell is wrong with your drivers?

Outside of cities it feels like the only speeds known to mankind are 90km/h for one lane roads and 130km/h for those with two or more.

A speed limit of 80 or 100 on a highway? Completely ignored, unless it's a tunnel, then 100 is ok.

Some section of road outside of a city says 70, 60 or 50? Ignored, just drive through with 90.

Beautiful two-lane road (D424) from A1 to Zadar with a limit of 80, me doing 90 because that's OK somehow and most other cars overtake me with 20 km/h more at least.

So, what is wrong with your drivers?

Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows (www.timesnownews.com)

Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows

This isn't a gloat post. In fact, I was completely oblivious to this massive outage until I tried to check my bank balance and it wouldn't log in.

Apparently Visa Paywave, banks, some TV networks, EFTPOS, etc. have gone down. Flights have had to be cancelled as some airlines systems have also gone down. Gas stations and public transport systems inoperable. As well as numerous Windows systems and Microsoft services affected. (At least according to one of my local MSMs.)

Seems insane to me that one company's messed up update could cause so much global disruption and so many systems gone down :/ This is exactly why centralisation of services and large corporations gobbling up smaller companies and becoming behemoth services is so dangerous.

How to view Intune-managed firewall rules (feditown.com)
 

Just a quick fyi for anyone using Intune to distribute firewall rules with the "Endpoint Protection > Windows Firewall" profile for the first time.
Any rules you set won't be visible in the wf.msc GUI or using PowerShell's Get-NetFirewallRule.

The only place you can see those rules is the registry under this key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\Mdm\FirewallRules
