Linux from scratch is quite a lot of fun, did it a decade ago and learned how to bootstrap a linux system after installing Archlinux got boring. Never went past the initial "get a working" system stage though.

Now I'm building LFS/BLFS again but hacked the Alpine package manager into it to actually be able to install multiple machines with this and crossed the point where I'm daily driving it on my laptop

Ah you've never encountered /dev/null not existing yet, so when you try to trash data it will actually create a normal file there so every other program that uses it will actually append that file.

Luckily it's usually a tmpfs

I feel like that'd happen because of some other bug, I wouldn't consider that a bug in /dev/null :)

Uuh hackerboards has comparisons, for example https://hackerboards.com/compare/raspberry-pi-foundation-ras...

This does happen, but it seems to depend on the ISP. In the Netherlands I've seen ISPs block the internet connectivity when they've detected infected devices, sometimes they send a letter before blocking and some ISPs seem to dump your internet connection in a captive portal. In all these cases it's been enough to call the ISP after finding the problem and you're connected again minutes later.

I'll have you know my grandma was using Linux just fine... was certainly a lot easier than windows changing random UI elements every time.

I always bring my telephoto lens. Since moving to a full frame camera I'm using a 70-300 most of the time and I rarely want a wider lens, more often I wish I brought my 600mm instead.

I also brought a 85mm prime which has been a lot of fun, while at the same time I've been lugging around a 35mm prime and barely used it.

You don't use them normally in the US, I've been referring to europe/amsterdam or europe/paris all my life in Linux installers and various equipment. I've never ever encountered netherlands/amsterdam or something like that.

From the list of deprecated zones, we could have been using "GB", "Poland", "Portugal", "CET", but that's about it. "Netherlands" didn't exist.

Given the old names were deprecated in 1993, it's hardly surprising that I never before discovered "GB".

It’s the same in Europe as it is in the US. Normal people refer to Europe/Paris as CET, just like normal people refer to America/New_York as Eastern Time.

Magic lantern is amazing. I'm still hoping a project grows for the other camera brands since I only have Nikon and Panasonic cameras.

Both cores are actually ARM cores, but you can switch both cores to be RISC-V cores as well on boot.

Technically that's four cores, two of which that can be active at once

Allocating a subnet is way further away from reality for most people than configuring one router feature on the router they're using.

There's also a lot of people that configure these devices (or linux routers) themselves but have never heard of VRFs, you got to learn about them somewhere so I just hope this helps some people :)

I see your point if someone is at the level of tinkering enough to learn Mikrotik gear. I was loosely equating VRF with general Linux policy routing, where you end up owning a bit more of an overarching config with fwmarks etc. And then I reasoned that Mikrotik was more complex than that, because I personally avoid doing config on my Mikrotik devices in favor of the Linux router (which is the opposite if you're coming at it unopinionated). But if someone wants to understand just enough networking to copy and paste Mikrotik examples, I do think your post is good general suggestion for that.
