Any particular reason that those OEMs made that decision when releasing those boxes? Was that range blacklisted in firmware because of the legacy specification? I thought the spec just forebode range's public allocation, but not necessarily its internal use.

 

Tests show it's just too hard to put the unused 240/4 block to work

Could you explain a little more on that? Just curious.

Have you had any luck with projectors for coding? I've only ever used them for large mob-programming sessions, like during hackathons. I feel like the low/narrow contrast of projectors makes it hard to use for dark mode, not to mention the space real estate requirements. :P

Still kind of sad that the transflective display technology demoed in the $100 laptop project from a decade or so ago never took off.

Personally, I've been happy using an LG TV for a single monitor setup. I have had to switch to KDE Plasma v6 for better font rendering given its unusual OLED pixel layout, as well as for native HDR support. But it's been nice to have a large physical font while still at default DPI. Although, I wouldn't't mind upgrading to 8K later when they get affordable, as the smallest 4K TVs at 42" happen to push the physical DPI down towards that of just 1440p panel.

Just a short elevator pitch that was posted today in that 100 seconds format. Maybe useful in introducing others.

I hope compatibility with git submodules gets ironed out soon. I'd really like to have multiple branches of a superproject checked out at once to make it simpler to compare source trees and file structures.

Tagging an image is simply associating a string value to an image pushed to a container registry, as a human readable identifier. Unlike an image ID or image digest sha, an image tag is only loosely associated, and can be remapped later to another image in the same registry repo, e.g latest. Untagging is simply removing the tag from the registry, but not necessarily the associated image itself.

Wow, the COPY directive got a lot more powerful. I've been waiting for the --parent flag for years, while the --exclude argument is also a nice touch. Didn't know of the /./ pivot point before, but that's handy.

Before this, I've just been using a intermediary leaf stage within a multi-stage build process to copy the build context and filter the dependency lock files of the entire super project into a matching parent structure that I could then deterministically copy from.

Ah man, I'm with a project that already uses a poly repo setup and am starting an integration repo using submodules to coordinate the Dev environment and unify with CI/CD. Sub modules have been great for introspection and and versioning, rather than relying on some opaque configuration file to check out all the different poly repos at build time. I can click the the sub module links on GitHub and redirect right to the reference commit, while many IDEs can also already associate the respective git tag for each sub module when opening from the super project.

I was kind of bummed to hear that working trees didn't have full support with some modules. I haven't used working trees with this super project yet, but what did you find about its incompatibility with some modules? Are there certain porcelain commands just not supported, or certain behaviors don't work as expected? Have you tried the global git config to enable recursive over sub modules by default?

I fell for it. It took me a minute into the game time to figure what was up and double check today's date.

Does the live iso created by this process include the dependencies or kernel modules upon live boot? E.g. could I use this to create an ISO image that includes, or pre bakes, any custom or necessary drivers for Nvidia GPUs or finicky Wi-Fi cards when used/booted as just a live USB? That could really help when you'd otherwise have a chicken and egg problem after a hard drive failure and no live USB to safe boot with working networking or display output.

I'm going to try and set one up for the rest of my project team. Looks like a neat way to simplify install setup.
