That doesn’t have anything to do with whether it’s open-source or not.

The headline seems to mean 81% of generation and storage capacity. When the article talks about battery storage, it only says storage, not generation.
I can’t think of any reason the backend can’t be open-source too.
Yes. A perpetual license just means no fixed end date, not that it’s irrevocable or interminable.
You can probably get away with continuing to use ESXi free licenses even commercially, you just won’t have support. And at home, nothing is going to stop existing versions from working.
Incidentally, assuming I found the right license agreement: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/downloads/eula/universal_eula.pdf
It doesn’t actually say it’s perpetual. It only says “The term of this EULA begins on Delivery of the Software and continues until this EULA is terminated in accordance with this Section 9”, but that section only covers termination for cause or insolvency, there is no provision for termination at VMware’s discretion. So, while I’m not a lawyer, it definitely sounds like you can continue using ESXi free.
Actually, reading further, I think the applicable license is this one: https://www.vmware.com/vmware-general-terms.html
But that one has even less language about license term and termination. Although it does define “perpetual license” as “a license to the Software with a perpetual term”, again not irrevocable or interminable.
That one was posted by a spambot, which a lot of people have blocked.
I missed the word “server” every time and thought it was a client, and spent far too long trying to figure out how you’d play Minecraft in Bash. Text based? ASCII graphics?
I’ve been using Alma for a while and been happy with it. Like RHEL types, it’s slightly behind on versioning, but that’s by design.
Yes, and that’s a good thing if you don’t want it to start killing processes. You have that extra time/space to deal with the out-of-memory condition yourself.
Or you can ignore that condition and continue using the system in a degraded state, with swap as “disk RAM”.
Nobody. And it’s not like Red Hat runs the X.Org Foundation, either, at most they have one seat on the board. Development will continue.
I’m not sure what that post is meant to show, if swap isn’t “disk RAM”. That post even concludes:
Swap […] provides another, slower source of memory […]
PSoD is already used by VMware ESXi. And Windows Insider builds, I think.
Maybe green?
If it’s only on the ESP, it won’t persist across reinstalls, and definitely not drive swaps.
But I do see mentions of attacking via firmware capsule. If that works, then yes, that will persist.
The monitor seems to be recommending you use mode 1280x1024. Have you tried that?
Either self-encrypting drives (if you trust the OEM encryption) or auto-unlock with keys in the TPM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module#Data-at-rest_encryption_with_LUKS
Same. Well, not forced, but using Linux would just make everything more difficult. I like being able to drop to a shell and use a Linux environment with its useful utilities to manipulate stuff on my Windows PC.
Yeah, I could use mingw, but that is a pain, and I can’t just apt install
stuff.
What do you mean “doesn’t work”? Is there some error message in the log (dmesg, /var/log/messages, on the console, whatever raspbian uses)?
Still can. Only a few years ago, I would cat random things to classmates’ tty devices.
Yeah. I know of ancient AS/400 and slightly less ancient RS/6000 systems still humming along, keeping insurance companies running.
But they probably haven’t seen software updates in decades. Linux 1.0 didn’t even exist when they were new, let alone 6.7.
Is anyone actually running modern Linux on Itanium? I have never in my life even heard of anyone using those chips. I find it hard to imagine anyone still using them that isn’t running something legacy.
Are current laws against harassment insufficient?
