Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.

This is all I’ve run across on reverse engineering, so far but it is quite interesting.

Some of the trust comes from eyes on the project thanks to it being open source. This thing got discovered, after all. Not right away, sure, but before it spread everywhere. Same question of trust applies to commercial software too.

Ideally, PR reviews help with this but smaller projects esp with few contributors may not do much of that. I doubt anyone has spent time understanding the software supply chain (SSC) attack surface of their product but that seems like a good next step. Someone needs to write a tool that scans the SSC repos and flags certain measures like the # of maintainers.

PS: I have the worst allergies I’ve had in ages today and my brain is in a histamine fog so maybe I shouldn’t be trying to think about this stuff right now lol cough uuugh blows nose

Hopefully people with more of a clue than me will chime in… Meanwhile, my best swag is the filesystem had issues and had to do an fsck? If that’s the case it would boot quickly next time assuming a clean shutdown.

Were there any errors during boot?

Fastboot enabled in BIOS or no? (Not sure if this has anything to do with anything I’m just trying to look useful)

PS: the weird active time could maybe somehow be related to the filesystem being borked needing fsck? I’m not sure.

More letters to Congress people? And to TJs? Fuck them I am not going to shop there anymore.

Not op. I installed windows 10 on my custom built desktop and my kids custom built desktop, on VM, etc. Have not had a problem and it was pretty simple overall. I’m sure some folks do have issues, though. Shit happens. Is windows 11 shittier for install? I’ve never had the desire to try :)

I’ve also installed various Linux distros on the above and a few other computers (Mint, Nobara, Fedora). Aside from Mint not working with my AMD RX 6600, no problems there either, really. And these distros installed easily.

Again, ymmv. I knew Mint would probably fail because the 5.19 kernel does not seem to like my GPU. That’s why I switched to Nobara in the first place (iirc the 6.x kernel wasn’t available at the time)

Totally agree.

Ok, folks, one of us needs to do a PR on this app to implement this fella’s feature request!

Maybe in my old age, I have mellowed out and realized, like everyone else, I can be a dummy at times. And so I am a hell of a lot more patient with users who don’t know everything (or much of anything). I also have become more interested in human factors (mostly as a spectator…or victim).

Looking at this I am actually kind of curious what their specific workflows are. While “cut” might do the trick if I had to cut and paste files to a bunch of different directories I would want to bash my head in. (Of course I would be using Linux, btw, and would do it at the shell prompt lol) But seriously, there is a better way to reorganize many files to many directories in a UI than cut/paste.

When I was 25, and an insufferably arrogant IT nerd, I would’ve downvoted you and mocked this hapless individual; I hang my head in shame thinking about who I used to be. :( I’ve come a long way. I’m not as arrogant… I’m just insufferable! \o/

Maybe some. But some of us got in on 401k and ira and stuff. I know some didn’t though. I worry about millennials and especially gen z, though. Us progressives and those even further left gotta start running for office and fix this shit.

Well, you’re not wrong. I was away from my desktop when I commented and forgot btop looked so fancy.

For now I still prefer htop because I can see at a glance the stuff I’m most interested in (mem & cpu and process sort).

I’ll have to play with some of the other suggestions in the post…

I also am starting to play around with cockpit a little more for remote monitoring.

Here. 150,000 transistors. Get to work.

If I was that memory- and cpu-constrained I would be using other tools such as memstat, iostat, and cpustat.

htop because pretty colors and graphs.

Or top because it’s like muscle memory now.

an electric bicycle is not more efficient than a non-electric bicycle.

I thought that’s exactly what the graph shows, though?? The way I am reading the graph, the ebike is less efficient per mile – requires more energy per mile – than a non-electric bike, just as you would expect.

I guess they will have to charge more since they won’t get a full lifetime out of customers.

Or use the id command.

FWIW it is doable :) since I have Fedora (37) and a separate /home and / device. Btrfs in my case.

How did you deal with the home sub volume?

I will edit this with hopefully useful info about my fstab etc. in a few min…

— okey dokey —

Here’s my fstab. I had to comment out the home subvol and mount /home

Let me know if I can give any additional info.

I suppose a cross compiler for 6502. What I’m not sure of is what kind of timer interrupts the 6502 supports.

Unix like OS in 6502 assembly? Dang. I’m impressed. That’s seriously cool.
