Imagine some train loving autists getting together to make a "real" train set, because mass market coomsumer Lionel sets don't meet their standards.
- The steam engine autist wants to make a steam engine set.
- The freight train autist wants to make a freight set, but only with 1950's engines and wagons.
- The diorama guy wants 15 types of plastic trees, because that's the minimum necessary for a basic set.
- Freight guy doesn't want any trees, just trains.
- Steam engine guy says 3 or 4 trees are okay, but 15 is too many.
- And on and on it goes.
Since they can't agree about anything, they all end up making their own special train set that has the things they care about.

Linux is the same way. They care about autistic issues like licensing, proprietary blobs, programs that are too large or too small, too many shell scripts or too few, developers who are too gay or not gay enough, etc, etc. Then they act like they want people to use their special toy, but they don't really like it when normies show up and just want it to work.

Speaking of USB setup, I remember that once when I wanted to do something from the Linux userspace on a USB drive while in Windows, not wanting to do a live boot, I would just use VMware and do USB passthrough to a Linux VM and do what I had to do there. I remember that I even used to boot from a USB stick within a VMware VM after configuring it for a UEFI delay and entering it's boot menu like that. You could probably do the same for Windows only USB tasks under Linux, whip up a little VM, do a hardware passthrough, run whatever, close or freeze the VM for later use.

Virtualization is neat.

Arch attracts a lot of idiots. No true and honest unixbeard is going to be running shell scripts from the internet without looking at them first (which is functionally what AUR does)

but hey whatever, time to put my troonsocks on and rice out my Arch install and give all my banking details to Slovenians

Arch Linux's website is the only one I've seen that removed the fag drawing and replaced it with a generic green checkmark.

There are one or two nitter or redlib (I forgot wich one) instances that use their own branding.
I don't get it, why use tranny furry pedo-bait when you can have glorious KiwiFlare DDoS-retardation?

Edit: The windows2usb author has some fun opinions. https://github.com/ValdikSS/windows2usb/issues/3#issuecomment-771534058 Here he opines that the default Linux behaviour, where Linux writes finish after cached in RAM that makes unmounts wait until completely written, is misconfiguration.
Click to expand...
If only there were some way to tell the mount command not to cache.
Code: 
MOUNT(8)                     System Administration                    MOUNT(8)
NAME
       mount - mount a filesystem
....
FILESYSTEM-INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS
...
       sync
           All I/O to the filesystem should be done synchronously. In the case
           of media with a limited number of write cycles (e.g. some flash
           drives), sync may cause life-cycle shortening.
If only, sadly he'll just have to rant about it.

If I recall the Jellyfin add on had the exact same problems
Click to expand...
I just got done getting the Jellyfin plugin working with Libreelec. It does work, but it's a bit jank compared to, say, on a Roku or the like. You can't do client key auth, you have to use a user/pass. And if you don't select your main server upon install, you have to enter it manually (no apparent way to autodetect UPNP or DLNA?), or do a total plugin reset and it will autodetect then.
 
I realize now that if I had purchased a Pi 4 or 5 for $50 more I could've gotten a dedicated Emby Theatre image which would've been nice. this thing is surprisingly laggy even with the official Raspberry Pi OS, maybe it came with a jank SD card
 
Rewrote my little CPU temperature monitoring utility since it was pretty embarrassing. Now it only opens the file descriptor once and is written in C. Still niggerlicious because there is no cleanup of the open FD handle, as most of the program is an infinite while loop with a delay. This thing is supposed to run from startup to shutdown though, so maybe it's fine.

Step 1: Install this extension to modify your browser's headers.
Step 2: Enable per-rule URL filtering in its settings.
Step 3: Do the following.

The Accept header modification is likely optional. You now have unpozzed, HRT-free access to the kernel's mailing list archives. This is probably a stopgap that's in place to not upset the old guard of kernel devs with their handmade fetcher scripts, but hey - whatever works.
