Thanks! Installed FreshTomato and so far it’s working fine!

Well, I’d say 2 GB of RAM is actually quite plenty for a router since it doesn’t need to do anything that RAM intensive. Even a desktop computer running Linux with no GUI only uses around 100 MB of RAM.

Well, they say that development for these phones is mostly dead.

Also, I do think that getting a virus by simply downloading Android ROMs from some unknown source (or an open source project maintained only by 1 person) would be quite easy. Not to mention that xz-utils, an open-source project was recently backdoor-ed.

Well, I just found a guide on how to install twrp 3.2.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Star here, which has the model number SM-J337T. It has the exact same SoC, CPU and GPU as my device. The guide has a link to an unnoficial twrp recovery.img image. Would it be safe for me to use that for my SM-J337W?

PS. What does the T and W mean in the device model number?

Well, I think this may be not a bad idea at all. However, what would really stop me from using your search engine is if my search queries (or anything else I send) were somehow tied to me and/or sold to someone. Please don’t be like Google, Microsoft, or OpenAI.

Is it ok if I skip some challenges or do them later? University final exams are comming up soon for me.

Well, I eventually got bored of Arch and installed Gentoo this summer. I enjoyed it 😎.

PS. I wish there was a Gentoo emoji.

Natively or in a VM?

I would like to see:

1. Corporations treating their customers like people, not just bags of money.
2. Corporations and employers to stop spying on people. Like, it makes me feel so unsafe and that I can’t really trust them.
3. People becoming more tech literate.
4. Open source software, such as Linux being used by more people, especially those who are not so tech literate.

Ok, then C++.

For me it would be C/C++.

Well, you do have qemu, which can run x86 programs on other architectures (not just running x86 virtual machines on top of hosts of other architectures).

Well, that’s how most troubleshooting happens on Windows/macOS as they are just big black boxes with poor documentation. On Linux, most issues can be fixed by the user themselves.

I use rclone. The command I use to mount my GDrive is basically:

rclone mount "GoogleDrive:" ~/googledrive --vfs-cache-mode full --daemon

And then I could access it (almost) as if were a regular USB drive mounted onto my filesystem (by doing cd ~/googledrive). Only difference is that it is a bit slow, as none of the files ever get synced to the computer’s hard drive (all changes are immediately uploaded to Google servers), and I cannot change the filesystem permissions (they are always a+rw for all of the files).

Well, for schoolwork, I mount my Google Drive storage onto my ~/googledrive directory (where I store all of my schoolwork) and usually use mc to navigate. Although, I am quite comfortable with the terminal. Its just that I have a lot of subfolders and going to a specific subfolder in mc is usually faster than doing “cd ~/googledrive/subfolder-with-long-path”.
