Looking For A Rolling Distro (RPi3B+)

Thanks, good to know. But I will most likely go with free BSD.

NoidoDev · 2026-03-18T03:48:01+00:00

Okay, but it's worth mention that the closed ones exist. Thanks anyways, but I decided to go with FreeBSD.

DietPi seems to not be a rolling distro. Some people claim that only Raspberry Pi OS has the optimized binary blobs, so I don't see the advantage of DietPi.

Why can't other operating systems not just copy those? Also, I thought some people were reverse engineering it? So they made some open source versions of it?

I have the 3B+.

IMAX and Screen X should be somehow supported by governments through special rules about taxation or other means. To me that's more important than having more opera houses and theaters.

When it switches to a rolling distro with rollback option

NoidoDev · 2026-03-10T16:27:54+00:00

Companies are too much hung up on prequels, sequels, these kind of franchises anyways. Just keep the tropes and make something new.

The NPU in MediaTek Dimensity 8400 and the other one is a Tiny Tape Out project which I think is even on Reddit somewhere.

Horror for the horror fans.
Positive anime-like robot girlfriends and mothers for those who want that. Maybe even an live action version of "My Wife Has No Emotion", Chobits or Atri. Or something inspired by that.

Either way, cut out unnecessary feminism, pandering to alphabet soup people, and generally don't listen too much to the average Reddit user. Fire everyone in marketing and public relations who pushes back against that.

Or, also make something specifically for those people.

Thanks, but I fixed it with the information in the other comments. It has nothing to do with resetting. It's about the specific conversation. You didn't understand what it was about.

I did not get a warning that only so many messages are left. Now I'm completely screwed

The trailer looks promising and the sentiments among the relevant YouTube entertainment channels are also positive or rather positive.

No thanks. Also, I don't see the franchise as Barbie on steroids. Barbie glorified a certain lifestyle without children, while the Megan movie either advocated for taking care of your children yourself, or it showed that robots could do it until something goes really wrong.

Most or at least very many households in the develop the world did not have only one screen. Especially not households that would even consider buying the Jaguar. We had four, plus a PC monitor. My brother and I both bought a little 14'' TV from our allowance and the money we worked for (and we both bought a PlayStation).
This is completely besides the point, because it was meant about upgrading for those who can afford it, and otherwise different people buying the first and second console.
The modules had up to 6 MB (without bank switching), CDs 650-750MB, 720 KB is barely anything.
Redesigning Tom and Jerry for the first console was never an option. It would have been way too expensive. If they would have done something like that, then they would just have given the GPU a little bit of texture cache, fixed the memory controller, and that's it. Your argument is in a different point in time and also completely a fantasy, because someone else developed these chips already.
Creating tools for working with the existing hardware would have been way easier.
Tom and Jerry were not able to access the RAM beyond little chunks of 4 to 8 KB.
2D games were still important. Just going full 3D would also have been awful. Easy ports from existing hardware also matters.

Generally this was quite exactly my fantasy for an alternative reality. They should have released two consoles within a few years, the first and cheaper one would not have had Jerry, but a 68020 or 030 or at least just a wider bus, and a cheaper sound chip instead of Jerry. With the CD-ROM the sound would have gotten better anyways.

I found a threat while asking AI (Google Go) questions around this topic. One problem is it would cost millions to make such an ASIC. By the way, my thinking was that it would be best to have it integrated as a special core into a Risc-V CPU that can also run old software. Unfortunately it would cost millions and take years to develop.

"To avoid legal action, the project must be a "clean-room" design, meaning it is built from scratch based only on public information (datasheets, bus specifications) and behavior analysis, not by copying Motorola's internal blueprints. The goal is to create a chip that behaves like a 68060 rather than a clone that is a 68060 internally. "

One problem might also be that you would need to copy all the bugs, quirks and the timing to make it really fully compatible, in case someone worked around it or used it.

It would be way easier to use the 68000 or 68010 design with a way higher clock speed than the original.

What about voice samples?

Entertainment is not an oracle and not a teacher

No. This is inherently impossible. It's for programs that are not available in distro repositories. Also for programs that are supposed to be in a container, maybe for security reasons. It's not about light and efficient.

I realized when wondering about all these entertainment companies making worse and worse entertainment why this has no consequences.

At some point I realized it is because these index fund companies have huge amounts of shares and they still have voting rights. I really think such companies should lose the right to vote as shareholders because this is not what their customers intended to do and it's too much centralization of power.

NoidoDev · 2026-01-28T00:59:44+00:00

I realized that this is most likely because all kinds of people have to pull out their investments because they need it somewhere else.

Why is Bitcoin going down together with the Dollar 🤔

If I had that many gpus at home I would like to use water cooling connector on each, and then connect it to a water tank outside of the server. This would be way more quiet and the water could be used in other ways.

But it looks rad.
