  • Debian and Fedora have ports, though not all packages are available, and you’ll probably be doing a lot of porting if you want anything else.

    But this bit from the uConsole R-01 product page might be relevant to you:

    uConsole R-01 is a highly experimental model and requires some experience with Linux systems & FOSS. We strongly recommend all beginners choose other models.


  • A lot of this stems from instances running old versions with loose registration requirements, like no captcha. This is a problem in a federated system because there’s no barrier for a banned user to just jump to another instance.

    Perhaps it would be a good idea if, when Lemmy has anti-spam measures implemented like rate-limiting and captchas for registration, it disabled federation with instances that are at a lower version, to motivate small instances to upgrade and enable the new features.




  • Long story short, I can’t use multiple monitor RDP because I have different resolution monitors and they are stacked 2x2 instead of all in a row.

    Did you try setting them up as one big display across all four, instead of four little ones? I think that’s something you can do.

    Does the multi-mon RDP thing work from a Windows client too? I’d be surprised if it did, Windows’ multi-monitor support is fairly lacking in my experience too.

    It’s a parallel. Mao tried to create industry in people’s backyards. It took people away from food production, destroyed existing valuable metal products, deforested the areas, and for all that effort, resulted in product with quality so bad it was unusable.

    While it would probably also be more like input material production, silicon ingots and wafer slicing and such, I’m sure the quality would equally be shit enough to be unusable. Especially since metalwork tolerances are usually in micrometers at best, but microchips are in the nanometers.



  • They absolutely do fund development like this. But they keep it for themselves until such time that it no longer gives them a competitive edge.

    For example, when the US sells tanks or planes to other countries, those export versions have much less fancy equipment on the inside. Or in pure science like cryptography, you can assume that when the NSA publicly approves of an algorithm, they’re confident that they can break it if they really need to (either because they inserted a backdoor, have identified a weakness they can exploit, or just have no use for it any more themselves).
