Hugely convincing ad JB, well done

Perfect, just in time for Avatar 3.

Random thought:

I love my Linux setup with runit.
It's easy, it works as I expect, I have full control
and is veeery fast.

If you are tired of #systemd, maybe give runit a try. It may not have dependencies but you can write your own run scripts which basically check for another service to be started and if not, simply exit early.

#voidlinux #runit #systemd

How many professional programmers are working on pointless and/or actively harmful products?

Give me your best guess.

🇰🇵 Russian ministers accompanying Putin on his visit to Pyongyang were forced to leave the negotiation room by a North Korean official who appeared to be angered that they had entered before leader Kim Jong Un 😁

A new petition calls on the Ukrainian government to ban TikTok, arguing that it poses a national security threat given China’s cozy relationship with Russia. It’s already garnered about half of the signatures it needs to be considered by lawmakers.

TIL (thankfully second hand) that running "systemd-tmpfiles --purge" will delete /home in systemd 256 [1]. Apparently if you think linux is mainly for running cloud services, this seems reasonable to you. Or something.

[1] tested with systemd-tmpfiles --dry-run --purge on debian. I guess it _could_ be a Debian addition, but I'm guessing not.

@m0xee there are legitimately good people there I would love to follow and see on my timeline but their admins are literally a loser irl and blocks everybody to cope with that fact

Oh, no, very cool.

> it's not like there are plenty on RISC-V laptops already

You might be surprised: there's a Milky-V that's pin-compatible with the RPi CM-4, so a lot of the places you could plug a CM-4 work. Like this guy got it to work in a Turing Pi 2 (FSE's currently living on a TPi2): https://feldspaten.org/2023/10/27/RISC-V-in-a-Turing-Pi-2/ . There are Pi laptop kits that are basically a CM-4 carrier board with battery/keyboard/screen/battery, right, and I imagine that you could get a MilkyV to run in a lot of them.

> it won't spread the community thin

Oh, I'm not really worried about that kind of thing.

i know people remember it with fondness - probably more than it deserves - but the Z80 was a horrible extension to an only slightly less horrible architecture. for the love of your preferred deities, let it die!

#Belarus opposition published a video from one of the Belarus border guard centres where they instruct a new group of migrants on the border storming tactics. The guard instructs the men in Russian, which is then translated into English. He tells them they will be equipped with knives and advises to hit all “unprotected parts” of the #Poland border guards, such as neck, armpits etc. Video in Russian and English, with English subtitles was published by Belarusian opposition news agency NEXTA.
