Hi,
Perhaps a stupid question, but what exactly is required to port an OS to a different architecture?
OK, there is the boot-process, and low-level language compilers, ... but what else?
How much code has actually to be rewriten, and how much just needs "make" to be recompiled?
Australia looks like an interesting case.
Iknow that in some countries, ISPs have to provide service to both urban and rural customers at the same price, which means that urban customers actually subsidize people living in rural areas. In some other cases, the gouvernements help pay for this.
Isn't there a project in Australia that the federal gouvernement is subsidizing the role-out of fibre?
I dan't know if this is still valid but I used to be told to have different partitions for your system, logs and data (home directories) .. and have the swap-partition located in between them.
This was to limit the distance the head has to move when reading from your system starts swapping.
But if you use a SSD drive, that is not valid anymore of course :-)
I have also been thinking about selfhoating a jisti-meet server.
Just how easy / difficult is it to selfhost it?
Do you run it in docker or natively?
Linux or some other OS (FreeBSD)?
