@hackaday "bloat" generally. The absurd amount of this party connections being made, and superficially unnecessary processing. Be honest with us. Run a good service ...

The @PINE64 #PinetabV is real and in my hands! Nice keyboard case with touchpad too. Hope I can get some time to play with it properly so it isn't just a door stop, although it came with a kennel installed on it which is more than I had expected 😁 #RISCV

So the @PINE64 #pinetabv now has a fundamentally functional - with some caveats - usable desktop boot image. Touch screen and WiFi are good. Git and Firefox work. And here's a photo of it running Node.js v20.5.1 and an early access build of #Adoptium #Temurin 21 😁😍 #OpenJDK #Java #NodeJSCredit to @Fishwaldo for getting this KDE Plasma image available!https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab-V

The formal release of #Adoptium #Temurin JDK21 will be delayed slightly until we can get a copy of the TCK under the new OCTLA4 license (https://openjdk.org/groups/conformance/JckAccess/)For now, the latest nightly/beta/ea builds from https://adoptium.net/temurin/nightly/?version=21 were built from the same tag as the GA level so should be functionality identical (But are untested, not for production use etc. etc. #disclaimer), and additionally include builds for Linux/risc64, Windows/aarch64 and Alpine/aarch64#java #openjdk

Update on delay of #Temurin 21 availability. We are as dissapointed as you are that we can't make the GA version available yet, but you have an option ... #OpenJDK #java https://adoptium.net/blog/2023/09/temurin21-delay

TCK access issues for Adoptium's Eclipse Temurin have been resolved. We're working to get it through the suite now so we can get it to you this week (hopefully)

#Adoptium has now released the initial platforms for Eclipse #Temurin 21. This includes Alpine on aarch64 (Tarball only, docket image to follow) which a subset of our Mac M1 users will no doubt be delighted about!Note: The regular #openjdk update cycle means there will be a follow-on release (jdk-21.0.1) next week which supercedes this build, but we choose to continue with the initial release to ensure all of the processes & tests for 21 are all working as they should.https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/

IBM's AIX OS is still going strong - I keep seeing references to it (*)On a side note - back in the day where was a version of AIX that ran on the PS/2 (The IBM PC, not the playstation). I had the attack of floppy disks for it ...(*) Any similarity between these images and the AIX OS is purely coincidental 🤣

Sort of related (Weird OS+architecture variants) - I have a #PowerPC laptop from a long time ago. It runs #AIX. There was technically also a version of #Solaris (I think it was 2.5.1.) that ran on it. I never found a copy to try it though. If anyone has one ...

@bloor One typically used minicom instead of screen for such things, but I don't recall off hand how it deals with CTL-Q .... Maybe with a shot though

@bloor @bloor Although I guess since CTL-Q is XON there may not be a workaround for it over serial so it possibly won't work over anything unless you can remap the app somehow 🤔

Hmmm do the @frameworkcomputer laptops really not have a touch screen option? Deal breaker for me, even if there may be an update later on 😭😭😭 #framework

@frameworkcomputer Ah not available yet. But thanks - is missed that announcement and it looks interesting especially if the smaller version can take the next versions of the #riscv boards.Potentially a nice replacement for my aging Lenovo x220t 2-in-1 😁

Anyone remember the time when Chrome was considered a resource hog (mostly because it had better isolation between tabs)I feel #Firefox is worse now. I run #Chromium too but firefox does seem to deteriorate more than #ChromiumHaving had firefox get killed by the OS I've just done a "swapoff -a; swapon -a" to make the system more responsive again 🙄

@ptribble Ha yes mosaic certainly was compared to anything else we were running on sparcstations at the time! Do you remember the pretty of IE to Solaris too? ...

@GrapheneOS @frej Can you give some information on what you consider "atrocious security"? I'm not a customer (I have a Jolla C2 instead 😉) but I like their approach as a company generally so curious as to what their issues are (Feel free to DM if you'd rather not say openly)

Every time I see something saying "This is best viewed in Chrome, Safari or Edge" I die a little inside #oss #openSource

It's one of those days where it feels like I'm having about 6000 discussions on things with different people. I'm quite enjoying it 🙂 One of the discussions was relating to systems that we have hosted at @hetzner Every so often on there I see people asking for hosting recommendations and often people suggest #Hetzner as a recommendation. Very cost effective, and in my experience of running important servers for many years, extremely reliable 👍
