Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Using Ventoy, we can create live USB for multiple distros in one flash disk. This is a revolutionary feature compared to other tools, e.g., Etcher, Rufus, etc, that can only create one live USB at a time. This tool is so important. Don't call yourself a distro hopper if you don't know this tool.

Minecraft runs on various Javas.
And there's a known issue with an interaction between minecraft, Java, and the video drivers that crashes out and it can be traced back all the way to here: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1997
It's not fixed.

Can anyone verify that this only happens under O_DIRECT? I see that the original bug report references preadv03, a test case which uses O_DIRECT.
Allegro (zlib/plain C) https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5
It may become a footnote on Linux, but Linux isn't the only system out there -- and DTrace remains alive and well in many systems (not least in its reference implementation in illumos[0]).

Sure. Historical Unix is available here, though you'll need a PDP-11 or an emulator to run it. Most of the issues around the original Unix code base were resolved in this suit.

Project mention: Oasis – a small, statically-linked Linux system | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-26Michaelforney has also built croc [1], a qbe based C compiler. Really impressive!

Not sure if they'll work on Alpine, but there's WordTsar (a Wordstar clone) and WordPerfect. Alternatively, you could run Word 5.5 in DOSBox.
Project mention: Show HN: Why is the Amiga so beloved in the demoscene? (2023 essay) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-06Lots of Amiga concepts live on today with DragonflyBSD.

And it’s shockingly performant (on par with Linux, sometimes even better), given the tiny development team.
Messaging passing, etc are core Amiga ideas that exist today only in Dfly.
I suspect the intended point of comparison is the monolithic Unix of old, where the entirety of the code of the system is (hopefully, ostensibly, allegedly) developed with a single vision, except for the applications in the narrowest sense of the word (e.g. the particular piece of numerics you need to design your airplane or whatnot, but not the editor you used to write it, the cluster scheduler you used to run it, the typesetter you used to write down your results, or the 3D viewer you used to present them).
One example that’s just plain interesting to read to see what things people were exploring (because, let’s admit it, historical Unix source gets plain boring after a while) is AT&T Research’s https://github.com/att/ast.
