• What to do with obsolete iMacs and MacBooks

  As a retro tech enthusiast I beg of you not to trash them. Put them on facebook marketplace, craigslist, ebay, whatever. Nerds like me will take them off your hands happily, and regular people can still use them for daily tasks. I'm typing this out on a 2014 macbook pro, and I use a 2011 imac for any fun side projects I like doing so I don't mess up my main PC. You can also donate them to goodwill or salvation...

• Hard drive showing 100% active time

  Clone your drive with Gparted Live USB or Clonezilla Live USB. Source: 10 months ago

• Remove Fedora from dual boot with Windows 11

  If the recovery partition is between them you will have to move the recovery partition into the empty space using something like Gparted on a USB stick and then expand the C partition with disk partition or easeUS. Source: about 1 year ago

• Cannot extend partition after shrinking it

  Where you trying to extend E: or F:? In any way I've heard that GParted may help with partition problems like this altough I'm not really sure. Source: about 1 year ago

• Extend c: drive partition in windows 10

  In order to extend a partition, the unallocated space must immediately follow the partition. If there's something between the partition and the unallocated space, then you'll need to use a more sophisticated partition manager to rearrange things. GParted can do this, for example. I think Macrium Reflect can do this, too, though I usually use it for cloning. Source: about 1 year ago

• The Awk Programming Language, Second Edition

  AWK runs everywhere. Perl and Python do not. Busybox has their own independent AWK implementation. https://busybox.net/ https://frippery.org/busybox/ Also see the first edition of the AWK manual online here: https://archive.org/details/pdfy-MgN0H1joIoDVoIC7. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• This would have made my life so much easier in the beginning....

  A majority of routers are already based on the Linux kernel. Many are just BusyBox. The most common Linux firewalls are iptables and nftables. With the latter being the most popular one due to being around longer. They are really fine grained and powerful. Source: 12 months ago

• So Im working on making my own OS from scratch. Im using a linux based os for reverse engineering but I need help in understanding how to use the tools that are in rar/zip files. If anyone can direct me to some tutorials or resources to read that would be a big help.

  Https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/booting.rst This was my guiding light for a project a while back. It describes what Linux expects "time zero" looks like for the system; whatever operating system is going to boot needs that kind of contract between the boot environment and its own entry point. You can develop a lightweight linux-based OS with that document and a package like https://busybox.net/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Do you think Linux will become more supported and eventually be able to play every game that windows can? If so, how far in the future?

  For libc, we have musl as an alternate implementation. For most coreutils, we have busybox and the BSD coreutils. For desktop environments, you can use something like xfce. Source: over 1 year ago

• Hello Embedded World - booting a minimal Linux with Busybox on RISC-V, from source
