You seem to be a power user, and I get what you want, but pleeeease no signed binaries! :D For me a setting "I know what I'm doing" would be good enough :) (like on Android smartphones). That way I can install anything I want, and you can install only signed binaries.

  What reasoning do you have for avoiding plastic?

  But it's even scarier: it's written in C.

  Here in Germany people still freak out about it

   I expect that the feature I’ll miss most from Twitter will be the algorithmic timeline!

(btw.: I'm not using Twitter (also not using Arch scnr))

  parted -s "${diskpath}" mklabel gpt
  parted -s "${diskpath}" mkpart primary 1MiB 2MiB

You can use a descriptive string here instead of "primary" (e.g. "boot partition", or "esp partition").

WriteFreely is not a tool that counts lines in a file :). It's a rather complex application that needs constant caretaking. Especially because it's facing "the internet" :).

  The fact that Pi is so underpowered that it cannot even make full use of the SSD is probably a contributing factor to the overall stability.

Does any of you have a recommendation for a screen that doesn't consume so much energy?

  And here we have the Glamorous toolkit. This is Tudor Gîrba and feenk's thing. They embrace this philosophy completely. They have built an enormous suite of visualizations that allow you to find out things about your program while it's running. We should all take inspiration from this. This is an ancient tradition, and they have kind of taken this old thing of Smalltalkers and Lispers building their own tools as they go to understand their own codebases, and they have sort of pushed it – they've pushed the pedal all the way to the floor, and they're rushing forward into the future and we should follow them.

Oh, and thanks for this blog post. Very interesting.

Nowadays I only buy products from brands / companies I know (and I do visit my local electronic stores to buy them). It's really hard to find a brand on Amazon that doesn't sound like its name wasn't generated :).

Regarding these scam listings: I wouldn't buy a usb stick from a brand like "pullheart", "kiknin", "probuk", or "generic" (I'm not making these names up).

Also: the biggest capacity for a usb stick Verbatim or Intenso offer is 256GB (Verbatim) or 512GB (Intenso). These companies have websites with product information.

About not using the plug: when you are driving a corporate car, it‘s often because part of your job is driving around a lot. Driving to customers e.g. In these cases it‘s common in Germany that your employer pays for fuel (you get a specific card for the gas station). They allow you to use the car for anything else as well.

So there is no incentive to use the plug :).

so, 90+% are bad devs? :D

    the hardware is very slow and very out of date compared to maistream
