Has the FSF or any adjacent organizations or companies tried to bankroll some hardware again? It mostly seems like some amount was thrown at the Lemote Yeeloong MIPS laptops, but also that they were only publicly sold for one or two years in 2011. Same thing with semi-endorsing the BeagleBone Black, but the SBC space has developed further since 2013 for better and worse. Imagine a RISC-V board flashed with Libre/Coreboot or OpenFirmware, that starts up an install of Guix or Trisquel. Or (switching from personal computers,) even that a "dumb" monochromatic laser printer that doesn't require deblobbing the firmware like Pine64's soldering iron.

longsoon or something like that. you have to look at china for this stuff, many manufacturers don't even have wikipedia entries

>Loongson
That's what the Lemote MIPS chip was designed by, yes. For better or worse, it seems like Loongson continued on by separating away from MIPS and spinning off into their own 'LoongArch' thing. I know a non-mainland chinese poster that gets huffy because RISC-V "stole" from MIPS, even though most of the RISC architectures are connected. Also that the MIPS architecture technically still exists as being stewarded by Ingenic and/or Imagination. Pic related.

Allegedly one can still buy a Loongson computer and/or an Ingenic SBC, but you have to directly contact the company themselves as it seems to have been relegated to state contractor purgatory in the same way that half the Chinese-developed Linux distros and limited run RISC-V SBCs and Jolla (for Finland or Russia, don't know specifics) are also in.

There's also the EOMA68's successor in libreSOC, but that seems to have fallen into a mess of nerd sniping from switching architectures, designing an open hardware GPU, turning that into an experimental vector processor, and switching the description language, and attempting to get volunteer work from college students.

>>27071
no, I'm pretty sure they sell consumer products that you can buy that use their latest risc-v/loongarch machines. and they are not the only ones

>The only build system I know which isn't terrible is cargo
cmake gets hate, but I don't understand why. scons is an abomination.

Just use XMake if you can

>>27021
Every Makefile or ninja recipe generated by cmake ties back into other cmake binaries or scripts. I have often had these builds fail in mysterious ways and with no discernable point where to start debugging. Then there is the compiler flag handling, which doesn't automatically pick up on your environment variables and can't be completely overridden at the configure or build stages, making static linking impossible in most cases.

Why are you bitching about build systems in the Firefox FUD thread?

>>26920
>cargo
How does cargo actually handle dynamic dependencies and config.h-style compile-time options? As far as i remember the build recipe was a literal markup file.
>>27023
For a second i thought you meant a discontinued make preprocessor previously used by X.org, but that's imake.

In 2024 reddit will introduce heavenbanning, the hypothetical practice of banishing a user from a platform by causing everyone that they speak with to be replaced by AI models that constantly agree and praise them, but only from their own perspective, is entirely feasible with the current state of AI/LLMs.

it's too much work, involves too much server load and it's too expensive to implement per banned user.

Do you use or have any opinions on for lack of a better term collaborative version control hosting websites? As non-registered user there seems to be constant issues with github search, excessive slow-downs, and of course there are concerns with over-centralization. However it seems to be one of the best places for marketing projects to others. Here are some collaborative version control hosts am aware of:

- Github: https://github.com
- Gitlab: https://gitlab.com
- Gitea: https://gitea.com
- Gogs: https://gogs.io
- Bitbucket: https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket
- SourceHut: https://sourcehut.org

Some of these require self-hosting, or a paid service neither of which is my preference. Looking forward to hearing your responses.

it depends. do you have an idle server, a domain, and time to maintain your instance? if not, codeberg seems like a good enough option

>>26961
Fair enough.

cgit and let people send you patches in private by email

>>26958
We have the same use-case. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I'll make use of them.

>>26957
git is supposed to be decentralized
centralizing it is basically contrary to its design
just host your repos on ssh and maybe have a repo browser on your own domain (costs less than your nettofurikusu and other consooomer subscriptions), simple as.

you wake up and start checking out whats happening in the world right now: a bunch of big global events are going down that you cant really change. when you try to voice your disagreement about whats happening, youre told to shut up.

after that, you hop on a job recruitment website and throw in an application for a potential gig. but theres a good chance you wont get a formal rejection notice; and if you do, it probably wont explain why you werent picked compared to someone else. this lack of info leaves you wondering if the outcome was because of something you did or didnt do. after all, the flaw cant be systemic.

next, you check out an online dating app looking for some romantic connections.if youre a guy, youre probably sending out a bunch of messages, but youre not getting any replies. this leaves you wondering if you need to jazz up your profile or improve your messages, even though the reason for the radio silence isnt clear. after all, the flaw cant be with the app, just look at its popularity! its possible that your efforts just arent being noticed. on the flip side, if youre a woman, you might be flooded with messages, many of which are just plain inappropriate, misogynistic or objectifying. this unwanted attention stems from your gender, and no matter what you do on the app, you have to deal with it.

when you go to the grocery store to pick up some food, youre bummed to find out that a product you always buy is suddenly gone, and no ones explaining why. on top of that, items that used to be reasonably priced have shot up in cost. meanwhile, youre hearing reassurances about how strong "our" economy is. all of this happens without anyone asking for your opinions or giving you a heads up; its just presented as something you have to deal with, usually framed as being for your own good.

trying to use proprietary software for work, you find out its had a major update that changes a lot of the features you relied on. they say the updates are meant to make it better, and they want you to get used to the changes.

youre informed about an upcoming election, which happens every four years or so and is filled with claims about how important your vote and opinions are. youre assured that this election is super crucial, even the most important one in history, just like they said last time. even though the overall story suggests you cant really influence the bigger system, youre still expected to take part in decidingPost too long.

This sort of spreading of illness is the reasons don't really like imageboards as they exist.

>>26966
Got some contract work through nepotism; going to be doing that instead. Assume the reject was because of over- and mis- qualification. It was in a different domain, but should have still qualified.

I need a good portable music player, so I don't rely on my phone for audio. I already have a quad-driver IEM, hence a good one with a good card is necessary. I will definitely buy it used, so make sure it's affordable and under 100 Euros. For products over 100 Euros that are worth it please mention why.

>>26821
i use picrel. it has a micro sd slot, two days of battery live and immaculate sound quality. it only supports mp3 and flac though, not vorbis or opus. i think it's like $50/40 euros.

I'm kinda novice at these things, but I started to install gentoo linux into my computer for learning. If I don't implement secure boot during the installation process how hard it would be to implement after the installation process?

Sorry for bad english.

>>26824
Secure boot only exists to deligitimize non MS OSs. I guarantee you no one will ever install a rootkit on your PC, your only potential threat vector is probably the feds taking all your electronics for shits and giggles, because you torrented. I just make sure to dump everything illegal on an encrypted storage partition.

I dont think it would be very hard but I feel Secure Boot for end users is mostly pointless.
It's a lot more hassle than the protection its giving you from very specific attacks that you are unlikely to be targeted by. In enterprise it makes sense, but not for us.

I find so much electronics on the street in my town. All my hifi speakers and some wharfdales I dont use, printers, flat screen tvs, a box full of manga VHS I didnt keep cause no player (well I kept 3)..my amp, the busted PA speakers Im using as a table for my laptop right now. I love making as use for this stuff. Today I found a flat screen tv/DVD combo, and althought the screen was cracked I got a cd to play. I put in a throw away just like last time cause these thing eat cds. Cracked screen had a nice aesthetic and whilst I was fkn with the menu that I couldnt read, I was trying to dim the screen to save on power. For some reason I went through every menu the function obscured, even tho I pretty much knew Id exhausted the screen options. I did this until I selected a function that locked the settings and so turned it off to reset it. Of course it wouldnt turn on again from standby and is basically fuarrrked now. So there goes my short lived attempt at having a cd player in my kitchin next to the radio I also found. I even tried pluggin my PS4 into as this turns on my other tv when it boots up thru the hdmi. This didnt work however. Im gonna leave it til tmr, I think my only other option is a remote of amazon. I just wanna play some tunes on this glitchy fuarrrked up thing.
You have any good salvage?

only small stuff like sata cables because they break often so it is good to have spares
throw away the stuff once you are done with it and/or you don't need it anymore, don't become a hoarder
