Io sarò paranoico, ma continuo a sentire puzza di Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (Abbraccia, estendi ed estingui) .
Se la parte migliore di Win11 è il sottosistema Linux perché non usare Linux direttamente?
Oltre al fatto che l’esperienza di software libero che ottieni è monca perché la maggior parte dei programmi lato server gira male.
Perché non usare Linux direttamente?
SuperTuxKart
SuperTuxKart is a 3D open-source arcade racer with a variety characters, tracks, and modes to play.
It’s a beautiful game, with a little glitch: to join a multiplayer you have to push the “Select” button which usually is the “Fire” or space on a keyboard. Well, on Android… where is the “Select” button?
Of course, there’s no “select”. You must use a gamepad to play SuperTuxKart multiplayer on Android.
At least until version 1.0
I’m downloading version 1.1 right now, I’ll let you know if it does change anything…
The crowdsourced $700 Linux phone is actually becoming a real product.

I’ve chosen to receive mine with the Dogwood or Evergreen batch; I’m too anxious to wait for the Batch Fir that will have a 14nm Next Generation CPU….
Well we live interesting times:
This processor, which will be quad core dual issue 800mhz RV64GC and capable of running full GNU/Linux SMP OSes, with 720p video playback and embedded level 25fps 3D performance in around 2.5 watts at 28nm, is designed to address that imbalance. Links and details on the Libre RISC-V SoC wiki.
home directory – Is it okay to delete ~/.cache? – Ask Ubuntu
This will delete everything in your .cache that was last accessed more than a year ago
find ~/.cache/ -type f -atime +365 -deleteIf you’re nervous about running it, this will show you what’s going to be deleted:
find ~/.cache/ -depth -type f -atime +365I’m using ‘access time’ for that, you could also try ‘creation time’ by using -ctime (although I’ve found many cache files which are years old but still accessed). Thanks to @n33rma for the edit suggestion.
Some months ago I’ve set up a Debian 9 virtual machine on the VMWare server of the SME I work for. I planned to enable several services on it:
I picked Debian 9 as the operative system as it allows for a leaner and lighter installation when you start from its netinstall version. Knowing that the 40Gb I provisioned for 4 users will surely require to be expanded sometime in the future I used Logical Volume Manager.
Everything looked fine and ran smoothly for some weeks then I started to find the machine hanged.
As I’m the only full-time employee with some proficiency in IT I am the de-facto help desk for anything “computer related”: remote banking issues, updating Java on Windows 10, maintaining installed the latest Firefox version that still support the Java Applets required by the remote banking, handling anti-viruses, non-administrative applications updates and so on. All this listing to say that I have root access on the VMWare console. I needed to reset this VM (called posta)
I had to Disable screen blanking on text console (thanks, Stack Exchange!) to catch the bug as I just can’t stare at a console for several hours hoping to catch it. So, after having removed the timeouts I left the console opened for a while.
I hadn’t to wait too long. The day after I’ve finally got a clue to follow :
Finally something to look for: the bug is in the kernel driver vmxnet3_rq_rx_complete. Luckily it seems a fairly common bug; excluding the bug reports from RedHat that are – rightly so! – available only to the subscribers of their services there is an interesting bug report in VMWare Knoledge Base titled «Linux VM fails with the error “kernel BUG at drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c:1413!” (2151480)».
As the VMWare also runs the main administrative applications I think it wasn’t worth a call to the remote management so I’ve applied the workaround on posta.
As this bug showed somehow randomly I can only leave the console open and keep an eye on it.
I’ll let you know if it worked.
Reading the pages of DUCC-IT 2017 speakers I discovered this:
Ultrabook Katana EN – SLIMBOOK Ultrabook, laptops, computers
With the notable exception of the CPU (6th generation versus 7th) it’s almost like the Dell XPS. So now I’m officially torn and I don’t know what to choose:
