This is why I leave a couple of hours break between coding and going to bed. If I don't I may well sleep but my dreams are full of repeating code that I don't wake up rested. Any "insights" from the dreams are usually wrong as well ☹️

Google TV works because you can click through with the controller. But getting it plugged in is the first challenge 😃

I've been very happy with the Amazfit I've had for the last couple of years. The built in GPS is great for tracking my walks and the accompanying phone software seems to be decently maintained and supports Fit and Strava integrations.

I certainly don't enjoy having to update my mail server configuration every couple of years. But once done it does make a huge difference to what gets through. I do worry there might be tweaks to make for my patch sending workflow.

The United Kingdom is the nation state, Great Britain is the combined land mass of Britain and the island of Ireland, England is one of the 4 home nations.

There are rp2040 bits in the new RP1 custom silicon southbridge thing.

Not currently but I'm sure one of them will push me over the edge soon.

I have no doubt you are well trained and safety conscious. Despite living in a none right to bear arms country I've also had some training on safe handling of firearms through cadets. I think we agree that safety training for handling firearms is a good thing.

However this obviously isn't a mandatory requirement in the states as evidenced by the number of children who have been killed because firearms have not been securely stored. The US does seem unwilling to have any regulation to improve firearm safety lest it be seen as an infringement on a universal "right".

So does the training include keeping weapons safely and not waving them around in provocation? Are there mental health standards to meet? Or does it just mean someone knows where the trigger is?

It also says it's so you can have well regulated militias but the wording is vague about the link between the two.

There are dozens of us!

I'm Chaotic Neutral (although my vertical monitor is on the left). It was an experiment that stuck because I like being able to read more lines of code at once.

I'm fairly sure connecting over TLS was the default last time I set up my server. But of course that only protects it from people snooping on the wires.

I don't know why I have to come to a judgment over anyone for a random JRE appearance. It's not like I treat the podcast as a good primary reference source on any topic. Musk has been quite capable of demonstrating his character flaws in a very public ways since his appearances on the show.

It's the guests that do it. I have no interest in seeing him pal around with his mate Alex Jones but a long chat with someone interesting like Cox is fun. I even enjoyed Elon's first appearance on the show while I was still blissfully oblivious to the rest of his bio.

Generally you should be ok. While there is a performance penalty for emulation which makes guests appear less efficient than they otherwise would be its still plenty fast enough for system emulation of a target running a full OS. If you are in particular looking to optimise some very time sensitive routine or want to measure real world latency then it would be best to do that on real hardware. Also while QEMU emulates a large array of devices we aim for compliance with the specification/datasheet rather than bug-for-bug compatibility with actual silicon. Running on an x86_64 host your image will also be a bit more tolerant of memory barrier issues (assuming a weak order guest architecture). However as you stated you are just getting started in kernel/systems development I think working with emulation is a good first step to get familiar with how things go together before you start investing in actual hardware.

Have you considered QEMU? Not only can it emulate many different architectures (including RISC-V) but you'll find the debug experience a lot nicer than messing around getting a JTAG probe up and running.

It's a fun co-op which I've played with my partner and my kids. It packs a lot of variety into it's level design and is very well executed. Would recommend.

I use a tool called Series Guide (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlelancer.seriesguide) to track the various series i am already watching/interested in. But for movies generally we add the to the list and then choose from it if we fancy a film. But I suspect as it's usually just the two of us that's an easier decision.

The thing I miss from rofi is the ssh/mosh support with history. I haven't been able to replicate that on any of the other alternatives.
