    According to Wikipedia, Fujitsu will sell there last SPARC in 2027. Oracle have already given up (2017). It’s jolly sad that we’ve been left with x86, ARM and maybe RISC-V.

    I am waiting til the point when Rene switches the colors of the diff, since the new code is always broken it should be colored red with the old in green.

    To be fair, I'm not sure how this could *not* happen, with such a huge code base and so many different platforms supported, with inevitably some platforms becoming de facto priorities and breaking stuff for other, less common platforms. I reckon the process could be improved, but I'm not quite sure how exactly.

    Hey, maybe this is the wrong place to ask but, where can i find more info on the arm devices T2 supports? I am looking at some armv7 Olimex Allwinner boards and i wish to know what works and what does not work, like hdmi out, USB?

    I recently got me an Ultra 5. I tried gentoo and debian, but neither worked, I think at least debian wanted more than 128MB of memory for initramfs.

    Yes, my Debian 9 (Linux 4.9) sparc64 VM works fine, whereas my T2SDE (Linux 6.6) sparc64 is unstable: kernel panics, compiler crashes etc.

      Yes,, I'm sorry upstream broke the kernel and libc, I spend half this month to fix most of it: dl.t2linux.com/binary/2024/incoming/t2-24.8-sparc64-base-wayland-glibc-gcc-ultrasparc3.iso

    That's what rust devs are trying to tell. You need a stronger type system which can verify at compile time some invariants. When all your flags are just ints and chars there is nothing which can prevent you from doing totally crazy stuff. I caj only imagine how many bugs could be avoided just by using strong type system which guarantees some invariants at compile time

      As I said in the video, would have happened in rust with strong types, too!

    Recently I replaced my system with devuan and xfce, which uses the original design of sysvinit. It is really good. Systemd is a bloated piece of garbage. I don’t know why the Linux distribution replaced this good thing. It’s ridiculous. original designer of systemd was redhat, a subsidiary of IBM. Their AIX still uses sysv style init.

    • @thesaurus1523

      AIX will probably be put on maintenance mode soon. IBM bought RedHat as a strategic move to have a more popular first party OS for their Z architecture imo.
