  • Even if, we are talking about the Linux kernel. Our entire ecosystem builds upon C. People choosing C for new projects because it is the common denominator.

    If Rust should be adopted in the kernel faster, patches should be send which comment how each line addresses issues of memory management solved and elaborations for rust specific patterns unfamiliar to a C dev.

    Lurkers will pick up Rust that way as well.

    Each Rust dev had to pick it up and therefore should be able to enable other - probably more experienced - Linux kernel hacker to provide reviewable patches.

    It shouldn’t be the other way around, else you are just stepping on the efforts the other human provided to that project.



  • I run debian on an x13s. I would not recommend it if you are an average tux member.

    My recommendation would be to wait for the first devices from manufactures like tuxedo and the snapdragon elite x. And every device may have its own quirks, so wait for reviews.

    It was a hard time. I daily drive it but it still remains unpolished.

    A beginner linux friend of mine had an apple air m1. He ran linux on it but decided to ditch it for a framework. So i assume milage depends on your capabilities. I wouldn’t go that route and instead opted one and a half years ago for that lenovo device.

    It has the best chassis I ever owned but the usability is limited. E.g.: Since Kernel 6.8 I now have to issue su -c “echo start > /some/module/thingy/mode” after each start to get external monitor, sound and battery working. Had to manually research this in IRC logs.

    My two cents.




  • I know that may sound harsh, but experience doesn’t qualify here. You even may have introduced your doctrine to others!!

    :)

    To provide something to the discussion, here are the common sounds from Germany:

    ZETT-ESS-HAH!

    SS-HAH!

    Su-Doh

    'awk (from Hawk) or AHH-WEE-KAAH!!

    SETT or even ESS-EH-DEH.

    People knowing that it can be named as “superuser do” still say su-Doh. Then on the other hand, dont ask about REH-DU!



  • Sounds ridiculous but when starting out just focus on lifting your upper leg. The rest of the muscle chain will focus on stability intuitively. Once you archive the effortlessness while running you can think about other ways to improve form (like keeping your hip under your upper body). Also don’t stretch before running. Instead start by walking and maybe at traffic lights simply use the full motion range of your joints.

    I wouldn’t recommend music. It could imply a bad pace, breathing and/or focus. Listening to the world is one of the benefits of running imo.

    Also: Intention. Each run of mine goes to a landmark of choice. Once there I go with the flow and enjoy nature, think about x or start pushing my pace.

    Last point of return is if my body comes to peak, then I reroute back accordingly.



  • Before reading other comments I feel the need to put my thoughts out first.

    Awesome how you can put your feelings into words. To me it is a sign that you are deaccelerating at some time and then realize it explictly. You may spot yourself reflecting on thr things you just done. Probably you developed to realize this emotion due to good parenting - would be my guess.

    You would call this state inner balance but in English this isn’t very percise. Ausgeglichenheit explictily includes the mental state. The jucking things in your body may simply be happiness. The clearance in your mind - since you can remember it vividly - is your good attitude.

    But I have no idea and just guessing from my gut. Bet there are other valid opinions and stances within here. Anyhow I wouls try to preserve it by going to a yoga class twice a month.

    Very nice read, thanks.





  • vim is more then simple file editing.

    • netrw (interactive file manager)
    • copen/lopen (windows to connect, e.g. external programs)
    • :global, %s/, etc. which form text manipulation language (from editor ed, I guess)
    • args & argsdo (multi-file editing)
    • filetype (hooks for the user)
    • ctrl_X completion modes
    • motion (fluent & with jumplist to walk forward/backwardl
    • undotree (persisting, unlimited, timebased - on-demand)
    • macros (record and replay keypress)
    • romainl (awesome community member)

    vim for one-time tasks at work. When people are proposing to script something, I open buffers, normalize the data and filter the results. I think in vim and I would very, very much recommend it, if you work with data or are a dev.





  • I can’t honestly recall or put my finger on it what I did wrong.

    Choose fedora because it used my laptop subwoofer and wasn’t a rolling release. I remember each time (x2) reading about how to update the distro and each time my system was completely borked. I went to debian, read upon alsa, made my subwoofer work with a homegrown script and never looked back.

    To this day I am wondering if people recommending redhat are trolls or paid.
