I have an older laptop with a 32-bit processor and found that TinyCoreLinux runs well on it. It has its own package manager that was easy to learn. This distro can be handy in these niche situations.


Similar situation here. Have some old 32bit machines that I'm turning into writer decks. Most Linux distros have left 32bit behind so you can't just use Debian or Ubuntu and a lot of distros that aim to run on lower hardware are Ubuntu derivatives


Same situation but I'm using NetBSD instead. I'm betting it'll still be supporting 32-bit x86 long after the linux kernel drops it.


Personally, I think that dropping 32 bit support for Linux is a mistake. There is a vast number of people in developing countries on 32 bit platforms as well as many low cost embedded platforms and this move feels more than a little insensitive.


won't there still be the older kernels?


I went to a restaurant and they asked "How we doing?". And I said "I don't know. I'm doing well, but I'm not sure how you are doing."


Reminds me of an old calculator trick:

Pick an integer between 1 and 9. Multiple it by 9. Take that number and multiply it by 12345679. (Skip the 8)

>>> 3 * 9

27

>>> 12345679 * 27

333333333

This all works because:

>>> 111111111 / 9

12345679.0


Neat to see this done by hand! It helps demystify the magic behind git commands.

If you like this, I also recommend "Write Yourself a Git", where you build a minimal git implementation using python: https://wyag.thb.lt/


There is also James Coglan's "Building git" book that I just went through and can vouch for its quality.


Seconded, it was one of the most enjoyable tech books I've read in recent years.


A similar project is CodeCrafters' Build Your Own Git: https://app.codecrafters.io/courses/git/overview


How cool, thank you


Initially, I used `uv tool run <name>`, but later discovered `uv tool install <name>`. The `install` command downloads dependencies once and caches them for future use. It is similar to how `pipx install <name>` works.

e.g.

$ uv tool install asciinema

$ asciinema play example.cast


Nice! Fun game.

Similar idea, different interface: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44189814

I'm also curious if this functionality is possible to achieve through browser configuration.

Alternatively, a browser extension could potentially provide a helpful solution.

I suspect the implementation may vary on a case-by-case basis. The example [1] on the page utilizes the luxy.js [2] library.

For this specific page [1], I found that I can disable the smooth scrolling behavior by running the following command in the developer tools console:

luxy.init({ wrapperSpeed: 1.0});

I enjoyed participating in Octojam (the CHIP-8 game jam) in previous years and sad to see it come to an end.

Working with CHIP-8 inspired me to a CHIP-8 emulator which was a great learning experience.


Chisel is a handy red-team tool. I learned about it training for the OSCP (Offsec Certified Professional). It comes in handy under certain situations.

Another tool I recommend is Ligolo-ng [1]. You set up a network interface and use "ip route" to send traffic through it. In a way, it "feels like a VPN".
