Install and run “btop”.
You could scroll down to the screenshots on the GitHub page, but I had a friend recommend btop to me and seeing it for the first time running on my own machine was an experience. Highly recommend.
10 year old bug?
What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽
… Fuck
“I was referring to open book reader…”
The lack of capitalization, and the project name that could just as easily be a descriptor, made me miss it at first too.
"The Open Book is my long-standing attempt to design a comprehensible and accessible e-book reader that you can build yourself (or at least have manufactured affordably). The current edition is something I’m calling the “Abridged” or “Developer Preview” edition. It’s designed to be incredibly simple: there are 7 through-hole and 14 surface mount components, nearly all in a chunky 1206 package that’s easy to hand solder. The tradeoff is that it has no LiPo charging circuit; instead it uses AAA batteries, making it a bit more chunky than previous versions of the book.
The goal with this version is to get hardware in hands so we can start hacking on firmware."

So:
- This is a hobby / project of love
- The current focus is on hardware
I’m sure that the eventual plan is to support ePub.
I’m not sure it will ever get there, because it’s not a well resourced project, but I personally don’t like criticizing one person’s efforts, which they are making freely available.
It absolutely is a conspiracy though:
Source?
It looks like you would get a perfect solar eclipse on Mars if Pandora were spherical.
If there’s another planet in our solar system where you can almost get an earth-like “perfect” solar eclipse, I find it highly unlikely that there isn’t a single other planet in our entire galaxy where one might also see a “perfect” solar eclipse.
Find the mutual aid networks in your community and join / support them.
Just generally be in community with those around you.
Join or form local weekly protests for a permanent ceasefire.
Join a union and encourage others to. Help ensure that your union has enough resources to provide support for more vulnerable members when they need to strike.
Run for local office.
I was helping you there and asked you to back up configs and post some information.
Once you’ve done that I think actually getting things back the way they should be will go fine.
282·7 months agoPuberty is irreversible.
Going through the wrong puberty can (and frequently does) lead to suicide.
Suicide is also irreversible.
Puberty blockers allow children to delay puberty so that they can decide which puberty they would like to have.
Oof. That sucks.
I hope I’m not getting anyone in trouble. I live in a small town and have done this a lot over the years at different fast food places, and I’ve seen the same people enough that I assume I would have heard if there had been serious negative consequences for anyone.
Fair.
It still seems like this post is getting far more support, and less pushback, than I would expect given the support I’ve seen for anti-capitalist, anti-work, “class consciousness”, posts.
I’ve ended up using calculus and trig for programming multiple times.
You may be able to draw a circle without math, but teaching a computer to draw a circle requires an understanding of math.
All of machine learning is rooted in linear algebra, rust is a very practical programming language that gains most of its power through category theory.
You don’t need to know high level math to be a successful developer, but it can really help in many areas. I can’t really think of how to categorize which areas high level math is more or less likely to show up in, which I guess itself kind of supports my point.
Just understanding what a derivative is and what an integral is can help you determine what problems are solvable and what aren’t, and let you think ahead about what information you might want to hold onto in your data structures. ( Think about what the +C in this integral represents in the real world, and what data you need to pin that down concretely ).
Lemmy:
It’s all about class solidarity!
Also Lemmy: Unless the minimum wage exploited employee is a cashier, in which case fuck’em.
When I go to McDonalds or any other drive through fast food place I pay in cash, such that the change they would give me back would be at least a 30% tip.
I let them gather the change to give back to me (so they’re not distracted and the till has been properly managed) and then when they go to give me my change I say “That’s tip”, and give a huge thumbs up (I’m not sure where cameras face or if they record audio, and so I want to make it clear in any way that I can that the worker didn’t just steal my change).
I’m not saying that everyone should do that, but those workers are underpaid and if it costs me $10 to make someone’s day a little better, while they’re saving me the time and effort of cooking my own meal, for me that’s money well spent.
I quite happily run HAOS on my raspberry pi 3 to control the lights, my Roomba, and various other devices in my home.
Interacting with it via the home-assistant Android app, or the web interface, I’m never waiting for anything, and interacting via mosh is quite pleasant.
Part of what makes Linux nice is that you can use just what you need.
If what you need includes something like a web browser, then yes; 4 GiB of RAM is going to be a bad time, and 1 GiB is going to be unusable.
I didn’t know TWAIN, so I looked it up and am glad I did:
TWAIN: Technology Without An Interesting Name
I tried to solve these cross-distro compatibility problems in a generic way with this “standard”, more years ago than I’d like to think about:
https://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg
If someone wants to come up with a bootloader agnostic solution rather than one tied to grub, like an extension to Bootloader spec , https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/ , I’d be happy to evangelize it and add support to grub for using it.
I’m not aware of any other bootloader that supports reading a config file that exists within an iso though, and secure boot support may add additional complications.
Bottom line:
I feel like we could relatively easily get to a point where every Live iso that actually supports loop booting can just be added, as a file, to your USB drive (from Windows, or your android phone even) and be detected at boot in a nice little menu, no editing of config files needed.
I don’t have the time or spoons to get the Linux community there alone, but if people are interested in helping I’m more than happy to pick this up again.
(Note: Please don’t blindly suggest “Just chain load the iso!” Things aren’t that easy, unfortunately).
