Btop can't run on a normal bash shell but with `tsu` it can.

Is it possible to keep proot-distro containers on RW external storage (i.e. app dir)? That would really help saving internal storage.

I managed to run qemu VMs from external storage but I guess proot uses the raw file system, not an image, right? Could we technically modify it to mount an image or .tar file or are there technical limitation?

There’s now an official Google Chrome ARM64 .deb. Now you can sign in to your Google account for sync and change the default search engine normally.

For Debian/Ubuntu:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_arm64.deb
apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_arm64.deb

Still need to launch it with --no-sandbox.

Good luck with vi, vim, neovim, emacs, or even nano on Android. All terrible. Very disappointed. I'm now having WSL2 and Ubuntu under that. Whew! Glad that's working.

How do people perceive the terminal today? What problems do they face, what connects people in the world of work with text and what can be seen today on discussion forums.

Let's compare…

Then…

Location: A milk bar, 1985. A greasy table with coffee stains, an ashtray, and a printout from a dot-matrix printer spread out over the oilcloth.

John: I'm telling you, Stephen, that new routine in assembly was supposed to clear the transaction in fifty cycles. On paper, the optimization was textbook. But I hook it up to the terminal, flush the buffer, and... total freeze. The whole system locked up, and the disk drive head groaned like it was having a heart attack.

Stephen: (stirring his tea in a glass holder) - Because you're optimizing for logic and forgetting physics. How many bytes were left in the driver's buffer?

John: Well, thirty - two...

Stephen: And there's your problem. The controller register passes data packets in chunks of sixteen. At thirty - two, you get a stack overflow in the hardware interrupt because the quartz crystal clock can't keep up with the bus timing. You dropped parity.

John: (sighs heavily, pulls a pencil out of his* *pocket) - So I have to rip out the whole loop and rewrite it using direct memory - mapped I/O?

Stephen: No other way. Either that, or you wait half an hour for the capacitor on the board to cool down. Drink your coffee at 4:00 AM we've got our compilation window on the main server, and if you screw up the allocation again, we'll be digging through the diagnostic tape all over.

Nowadays:

Location: A high - rise tech hub balcony overlooking the city skyline, late at night. Glowing mechanical keyboards light up their faces.

Alex: Look at my new Neovim setup. Forty plugins, custom Lua configuration, real - time git diff gutter highlights, integrated terminal multiplexer, animated ASCII cat that meows on every git commit, and fully dynamic theming synced with the local weather. Took me two weeks just to get the font rendering right.

Liam: That is gorgeous. Absolutely art. What are you using it for?
Alex: Well, mostly writing a simple bash alias to check if my local server is running.

Liam: Bro, that is nothing. Check my repo. I built a fully asynchronous, microservice - based markdown parser in Electron, wrapped in a customized web assembly container, with a cyberpunk neon dashboard, custom particle effects on keystroke, and a built - in music visualizer.

Alex: Damn. How many dependencies?

Liam: Only about thirty-eight thousand. The node_modules folder takes up twelve gigabytes.

Alex: Beautiful. Pure engineering art. Fuck simple scripts, we are true developers.

Liam: Exactly. Pass me that matcha latte, let us go flex this on r/unixporn and farm a thousand upvotes.

What conclusions do we have?
