I’m still skeptical. The licensing model is certainly friendlier and I think that’s why more people are willing to give this a chance and put dev time into it. But the cost is still high and performance is trash.

I’m most interested in seeing what that team that splintered off intel to go all in on RISC-V come up with.

No, that would be manjaro.

The Qualcomm stuff is actually coming along, as is Apple. They’re on pace with pretty much any non-raspberry pi SBC.

u-boot loads off the SD card because there is nowhere else to put it on this board. I want to put alpine there too. Alpine and u-boot can be on the same card but alpine wont finish loading unless it is being loaded from the USB port.

I'm using the R4S, it's a different model with a different SoC. I know there used to be a weird bug on this board regarding SD cards that was supposedly fixed in 2022 (https://kohlschuetter.github.io/blog/posts/2022/10/28/linux-nanopi-r4s/)

That's why I'm running alpine. It runs in ram and only writes to the SD card when I run "lbu commit."

As an experiment, I wrote u-boot to a different blank SD card and put the supposedly bad SD card with alpine on it into an USB card reader and connected that to the nanopi. Sure enough, the nanopi loaded u-boot on the sd card, then loaded alpine just fine off the USB card reader.

The card is fine. It just wont run alpine linux off the built in card reader.

My fear would be our MAGAts would lie tou you, claim they were never MAGA, get in, and start the same shit there.

I'm of the opinion that a full rewrite in rust will eventually happen, but they need to be cautious and not risk alienating developers ala windows mobile so right now it's still done in pieces. I'm also aware that many of the devs who sharpened their teeth on the kernel C code like it as it is, resist all change, and this causes lots of arguments.

Looking at that link, I'm not liking the MPL.

I’m not sure what you asking me to do. I can tell you I’m not trolling but a troll could do that just as easily.

The point behind the meds is I can’t always predict when I won’t be able to get them and I can keep going on and off psych meds. Medication treatment only makes sense for people in stable environments. I’m not in one.

My friends here are bummed by my being a downer lately to the point that some now avoid me. So I can’t rely on them being around either. I’m going to have to improve myself and survive however I can.

Rewrite the entire kernel exclusively in rust!

-hehehe-

The exposure is deliberate. If you keep secrets they can be used to blackmail or discredit you later. If everybody already knows something it’s more difficult to weaponize against you.

The illusion of a fine upstanding pretty perfect little muusemuuse is unimportant to me. I need to be safe, not to impress people.

Getting mental health help now works against me in multiple ways. First, it creates a dependency on a support structure that can’t travel. Therapists are in short supply and high demand. Psych medications can be taken away at any time and their sudden absence would effectively paralyze me. I’m actually at a rather strange advantage having finally adjusted to their absence. I’m miserable, I’m scared, but I haven’t lost touch with reality. I understand what’s real and what isn’t. I don’t hear voices or hallucinate. I don’t have violent tendencies. There’s just no compelling reason to put myself in greater danger by getting mental health help in red state USA in 2025.

Making things public like this also limits me. I’m more likely to be guided toward a better outcome. The majority of people are still good. They still want to help eachother. Even on the Internet there’s enough good there to help me. And if I should deteriorate significantly further, this acts as a failsafe for that too. People won’t notice a gradual decline but something sudden will raise alarms.

My friends and family are incredibly worried about me but right now is that’s what I need.
