Yep, ded. So sad.

I blame capitalism

It is a lot of fun! Right now I’m back to arch, since I don’t have a lot of time, but funtoo does right those older decisions in gentoo which do not make sense in these day and age. And the updates are fast, really fast, since they use git!

The downside is the docs aren’t as good. Not even close. The wiki for gentoo is a great source of information.

What about Zig?

Yes, and that is on purpose! It was always meant to be a joke on C++ :)

Gentoo isn’t cool anymore. You should switch to funtoo, so you can have fun too!

Something like that already happened on Mastodon! Admins got together and marked instances as “bad”. They made a list. And after a few months, everything went back to normal. This kind of self organization is normal on the fediverse.

Votes were just a number on reddit too… There was no magic behind them, and as Spez showed us multiple times: even reddit modified counts to make some posts tell something different.

And remember: reddit used to have a horde of bots just to become popular.

Everything on the internet is or can be fake!

Factorio!

Yeah, but now you’re moving trust from the instance into trusting masto.host…

Would that be possible? How would other (normal network) instances federate with you?

If you don’t trust your admins, you can host your own instance. That way you’d control what is federated and with whom.

Buuut your server ip would be public, so idk…

Hello, I am a notification. Welcome.

Some of the issues might be on the software side, so it’ll take some time until it can scale to more hardware resources. But yeah, I agree! What scares me more is the monetization path. Servers can become a really expensive.

It was late yesterday and I didn’t realize I made it sound scary! Yes to all you said! The heatsink is a great idea, too.

Please also be mindful. These old devices don’t receive security patches and are going to be connected to the internet. Any exploit or bug and you’ll have a compromised device with local network access and even gps in the hands of bad guys.

There’s also the battery as OP said. It’s better if you take it out, if possible. Do not leave it running on 100% all the time or you’ll have a fire in your house!

É normal ter instabilidade após um êxodo. Calma, gente. É nossa tarefa agora criar um comunidade digna de voltar sempre!

I’m sad to hear you did not feel like a good explanation of the fediverse was given. Is there something you’d still want to know? I’m no expert but I’ve been here for a while, so I might be able to help or at least guide you!

Feel free to ask! And if you don’t feel like commenting on here, feel free to DM me with questions too.

Glad to have you around here!

The only real “problem” would be the lack of certifications, which are quite hard to get.

Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are normally used for these tasks, but, AFAIK there are already projects using linux with patches to make it run a RTOS kernel.

In my opinion, I think it all depends on what part of the plane it is running. If it is a core sensor, providing real time data, it makes a lot of sense to use a RTOS. It needs to prove it can run its tasks on time, and the scheduler needs to be understandable. There’s also a lot of overhead with running a full OS with processes, which don’t make sense for a sensor which only function is to provide data over a CAN/LIN bus.

But, for other things, like dashboard visualizations, music for the aircraft, entertainment, and those non-critical-realtime needs, then it makes a lot of sense to run linux. After all, you’d get access to a lot of already built software and a working dev environment.

And don’t get me wrong, this is clearly BS from boeing to keep selling their closed source software. There are already open source RTOS systems, like FreeRTOS. I do not mean to keep those real time systems closed, but to use a full OS where it makes sense and a RTOS where that makes more sense. Both open source!
