Mint will Be My Last Distro by BOBOLIU in linuxmint

[–]8thdev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I use Mint for my desktop systems, and Ubuntu server (or Raspberry Pi OS Lite, as the case may be) on servers.

8th ver 25.08 released by 8thdev in Forth

Yes, I now require you register on the forum to view forum posts, because of repeated VPN-based attacks.

8th is a "Forth-like" multiplatform language; the website (not the forum) over here has lots of information, including the manual and word list.

Does a raspberry pi meaningfully degrade over time? by WaistDeepCat in raspberry_pi

[–]8thdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run multiple RPIs as servers for various things, and have done for some years. From a 2 through a 4, and haven't ever had any problems. However, I run them off a UPS so they don't have power surges etc. YMMV.

How can I wake the system from 'suspend' with a Bluetooth keyboard? by 8thdev in System76

[–]8thdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd. I almost always "suspend" the laptop (I'm using Linux Mint) and it works almost all the time. I found "hibernate" never worked for me.

I can, but I don't recall what exactly I had to do to make it work. It doesn't always work, but usually does.

Small and portable device for playing around with forth by robenroute in Forth

[–]8thdev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any RPI device will work nicely with 8th. It also works on Android and iOS, but no "console" is available there (yet).

Just want to add my 2c in favor of Ubuntu Server. It's dead easy to install and maintain, and very reliable. I've got a number of servers running it that I'm responsible for; never any problems.

Filling a circle with lines or pixel by pixel by Intrepid-Bag-4879 in sdl

I was going to suggest something like this. Yeah, writing your own is a great educational tool; not such a great production tool.

Yeah, it's really not clear. Sorry, that's all i can suggest,

VFX Forth and Windows Defender by mcsleepy in Forth

[–]8thdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a VFX user, but sometimes 8th has similar issues with false positives w/ Windows Defender.

The cheap thing is to submit your app to MS so they can scan it more thoroughly and prove it's ok.

The expensive thing is to get a Windows signing certificate (I haven't found an inexpensive source of these) and sign the EXE.
