  1. Ventoy

    A new bootable USB solution.

    Project mention: OpenSUSE Kalpa | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-17

    > You claimed "Ventoy adds repos". It does not. It is incapable of doing anything of the kind. It does not run on the installed system. It does not modify the boot media in any way. This is demonstrable and verifiable.

    It literally adds an rdinit to the kernel boot line that hijacks the boot process and messes with it in a shell script. This is demonstrable and verifiable: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/blob/master/IMG/cpio/ventoy...

    Copilot and MS365 have some API areas that no one actually knows what they do.

    Day 1 task installing Win11 Pro in offline-mode without TPM/Bitlocker speeds up the benchmarks a bit for a game system a bit:

    Fun times, but most of the Win experience has always been removing garbage code/adware/shovel-ware. =3

    COM Hijacking VOODOO

  5. ObjectBox C/C++ database

    C and C++ database for objects and structs
