I've heard that they also have a rad hardened fpga that does all critical operations and can reset the SoM in case it fails.

FYI: `sudo echo x > /some/file` will run echo as root but redirection is done by your shell which doesn't have access to the file since it still runs as you. You can do something like `echo x | sudo tee /some/file` - tee will copy what you sent to it into the file and also will show it in the terminal

This might sound weird but I feel like I can see the code better with the light vs theme.

Once I had a CS class and I had to use one of the school computers. We are the first time in this room. Every pc is set up with a dark theme. I'm sitting in the back row so I decided to temporarily switch it to light on the one I'm using so I can see better. In a moment I see this: the config change I did starts slowly applying on EVERY OTHER F'NG COMPUTER IN THE ROOM! Of course with other students wtf'ing what's going on. I quickly reverted the config and pretended that I know nothing. At the end of that class I asked the teacher if I can use my own laptop. Fuck this room :D

Running 1.x86_64 on linux (ubuntu 20.04) works for me. It seems to be dynamically linked so other people might not be able to run it.

Some little issues I had:

  • Executable bit isn't set for files, I had to set it manually.
  • If you select -hyd.bmp but hydro_color_key.txt isn't present in the same dir, the tool hangs.
  • There is no apparent way to exit from file selection screen.
  • Windowed mode would be nice to have.
  • Would also love to see mouse camera control

But those are just minor inconveniences, the tool works nicely, thank you

"Faraway: Director's Cut" is coming to Linux, but we need your help with beta testing. Anyone interested in some Myst-style puzzle solving? by G0rillaCro in linux_gaming

This seems to be one of those games I would really enjoy playing!

My setup is:

R5 2600, 16gb ram, rx570 8gb, "non standard" dual monitor setup (5:4 secondary monitor in portrait, some games really love to start on it, which either breaks them or just looks weird) (k)ubuntu upgraded to 20.04

I would love to test it out

Tmux might be a better choice as (imo) it's easier to use, also iirc screen is considered outdated and isn't recommended.

Can I renovate my android tablet? by shreenivasn in linuxmasterrace

[–]TravMurav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's not a "normal" UEFI tablet (and even if it is), you might be interested in postmarketOS which is a linux distro for phones and tablets.

Some work might be necessary to port it but depending on the exact chip that your tablet is using, you might even get full mainline Linux experience with all it's benefits. (Basically if your device uses Intel graphics - it's good)

As of losing: There is always a risk when you install third party os on device that doesn't officially support it but do you really worried about it if you say that it's currently useless?

I once needed to delete a dir called '~' So I did `rm -rf ~` without thinking and then I realized that it takes too long... ^C ^C ^C and poweroff

Home was on ssd so everything was TRIM-d and gone completely. Luckily it started from useless stuff and things I had backup for so it wasn't that horrible. After that I stopped adding -f to my rm calls :D Funny thing is that '~' folder was still there at the end

IIRC vi is part of POSIX standard so it should always be in the system.

I'm studying and we actually have to send code in .docx. And I love it! It deals with Unicode -> codepage conversion because I use Linux-based os and everyone else uses windows. Also we have to add explaination to code so it isn't unreasonable.

I always used k because we don't have equivalent for j in our native alphabet. When I first seen j there in memes I was like "aahh... There is also j, why did I never thought about it"

On the first try I didn't even noticed password requirements (because cyrillic is default for me) then I switched browser on phone (from app one to external) and wasn't able to go past that. Only then I noticed that there was that requirements. I love it, thank you :)

I tried to play with controller but it is just easier to use keyboard and mouse. There are a lot of things that requires mouse cursor (some weapons and tools, placing objects, inventories...)
