@toast if the desktop sticks happen to be 16GB I have a use (compiling free builds of the Android SDK)

@kemona_halftau 10-hour French decimal time

@kemona_halftau can someone please explain the significance of 23:37?

I only know about 21:37 and thought it might be a UTC version of that but 21:37 CEST would be 19:37 UTC

@Canageek @maddy It's just a normal aarch64 VPS (I think the choices of distro are Oracle Linux and Ubuntu but you can apparently use netboot.xyz and replace it with something else), so the question is if Minecraft runs on aarch64.

@maddy @Canageek The ARM ones can have up to 24GB RAM

@maddy ARM? Probably yes. x86? Probably not.

@famfo what initramfs generator are you using?

@eloy short for Vint Certificate, inventor of X.509?

it makes an annoying high-pitch sound while charging things and a non-annoying (because it's inaudible unless I put my ear to it) lower-pitch sound while charging itself

New power bank arrived with 67% charge

@maddy 18 metres

@maddy I'm in the UK and I've never heard of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Apparently they reverted the name change at some point

@thing @kemona_halftau @maddy it defaults to yt-dlp on at least Guix and Alpine too

@dakkar @maddy Not necessarily. The Pixel 8 Pro has an odd number of cores (although I guess that’s technically DynamIQ rather than big.LITTLE)

@unnick @axionyx What’s so confusing about Debian upgrades? Isn’t it just replacing the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list, apt update, then apt full-upgrade? There might be also be config changes in packages (like dovecot in bookworm→trixie, which is why I’m still on oldstable), but that’s no different to any other distro except they happen all at once every few years instead of spread out like on rolling release distros. Alpine has basically the same process, just with more frequent releases and different filenames and commands.

Alpine will have systemd packaged soon, or if you want it now you could switch to postmarketOS.

@axionyx Debian mostly, except one on Alpine (not running anything yet, but it will be a recursive DNS and wireguard server) and another on Guix (which will soon™ be replaced with different hardware running Gentoo, mostly because I can't be bothered to actually package services properly for Guix and I want systemd)
