Yesterday, just for fun, I started porting to #OpenZFS to #HaikuOS.

The userspace kernel is running nicely. Here's ztest, the stress/fuzz tool, ticking along, doing what it does. zdb is live too, and the unit tests pass. Not bad for two afternoons!

Don't be fooled, this is not very far along. The userspace kernel is mostly test tools running over the ZFS core, and doesn't really require much beyond POSIX basics. Still, building and running is a good place to start!

Also don't get too excited; this was an excuse to look at Haiku again after their recent release, and a bit of decompressing after an intense couple of weeks. I'm going on vacation next week, and then back to my regularly scheduled work.

That said, I will keep poking at this. One of my long term projects is making OpenZFS easier to port or integrate with other systems, which is most a lot of slow, careful refactoring. Actually building a platform interface from scratch is a pretty good way to find out where some of the more awkward seams are.

Very pleased with my 9 year old 12" Apple MacBook running MX Linux and everything working: sound, microphone, bluetooth, displaylink for external displays, and even the camera which is somewhat specific on this model..

#KLM includes #TheTajStory in its media offer.

I think it might want to reconsider that.

Bottom line of the movie: in contrast to #Muslim and leftists lies, the #TajMahal was actually built as a Hindu temple.

One only needs to look at what happened to the #BabriMasjid to understand the murderous #Hindutva playbook they are following.

Also interesting to see the parallels with how Israel uses obscure, low quality archeology to support ethno-nationalist claims.

@booper @causticmsngo Yeah.

Like recently @abucci coined the term LOSS to represent Libertarian Open Source Software.

@jens is considering MOSS (Mutual Open Source Software)

While some of this was snark, those terms MOSS in particular resonate, with LOSS giving a term that defines the issue.

Of course in time, even if those terms became popular, there's always a rusk of corp capture.

@benjistokman Kirchhoff always holds! The issue in the real world is what happens when you don't have
dedicated circuits or really understand where your loads are. What matters is assuring that no segment of wiring significantly exceeds its rating. Under ordinary conditions, this is what the breaker assures, since all power reaching the wiring passes through it from the utility. However, once you have a source of power that's inside from the breaker, most common breakers will be oblivious to it. So, let's say you have a 15 amp circuit at 117 volts. That's a max of 1755 watts. Now you turn on that inside air conditioner that is pulling around 1200 watts. Let's assume your plug in solar is running super great with no losses and providing the full 1200 to that circuit. So far so good, you should be pretty much power the air conditioner from the solar. The breaker is seeing practically nothing from that circuit via the utility. Now, realistically, you probably have other stuff on that same circuit other than the air conditioner. Your wiring (let's assume it's in great shape and connectors are all clean and tight and so forth) now has a margin of a bit over 500 watts. As you now use other appliances or whatever on that same circuit, you're pulling power from the utility being watching by the breaker. Let's assume you use more than 500 watts now from other stuff (actually it's going to be a significantly, maybe much lower limit, due to real world losses, old wiring, etc.). Every watt over that 500 (coming from the utility) is pushing you over the rating of that 14 gauge wiring, which is getting hotter with every watt. So let's say you have 700 watts of other stuff turned on too. You're now 200 watts over the maximum rating of the wire, but the breaker doesn't know that, because it sees a much lower current passing through from the utility. Does an extra 200 watts matter? Depends on the condition of wiring, etc., but some equipment pulls much more power than we normally think about, especially as starting surges. Anyway, the bottom line is that this kind of setup creates a situation where specific segments of wiring can be carrying far more current than their maximum ratings, and the associated breaker cannot be expected to trip. As I mentioned in the OP, there are devices that try to deal with this, some involving adding equipment to the panel, and at least one (rather expensive) that seems to use a different technique. But ordinary consumers likely won't know any of this stuff. They'll usually just open the box pull out the panels and the inverter and plug it in.

We old people have been finding bugs in and workarounds for bad software design since (at least) the mid-80s, so look to us as a valuable resource.

Auch schön zu sehen dass sich das Gras bei uns wieder langsam regeneriert, nachdem es von der Trockenheit so gepeinigt wurde.

@joerghoepfner Yes you are right, I think it must have been "Shell", however in my years in DE, Konsole was often used in place of terminal, and even the shells they host, example: https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linux-Praxisbuch/_Konsole

@DemocracyMattersALot His own claims of cognitive problems are perhaps the only thing I believe out of that guy’s mouth.

@liaizon "the decentralisation of server hosts results in a number of small organisations hosting instances, which means that exempting small and micro enterprises could lead to compliance gaps;"

lol

"This Explainer advocates that federated platforms need to engage closely with the DSA and work together on a strategy to ensure compliance."

no.

@blogdiva @sidereal it's very ironic that the birth of free software was motivated by replacing commercial closed-source developer tools with free ones (both as in beer and speech). Tying a FOSS project to a pay-by-use closed commercial product is not only bonkers, but profoundly ignorant of the historical context.

@wjmaggos That's why I wanted Owncast to be built upon standards. People can build all kinds of apps that could play them, but people aren't doing that. That's why I had to build mobile clients myself.
