Linux is known for being relatively lean and not using too much disk space, but compared to its first version, it's positively bloated. The first Linux release used only 65kilobytes of disk space. Today, a compiled kernel uses 5 to 10 megabytes, which is about 153 times heavier than the original release.

Linux was initially created as a Minix clone. The creator of Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum said, a few years later, that Linux was obsolete, and that GNU Hurd would supplant it soon enough.

oreilly.com/openbook/opensourc…

Linux has also been first to ever support the x86 64 bit architecture, and Linux was also the first to have USB 3.0 drivers added.

The Linux kernel was also initially released under a custom license created by Linus Torvalds, which imposed restrictions on commercial use of his project, and on redistributing it. Fortunately for all of use, this didn't last long, and with version 0.99 in 1992, the kernel moves to the GNU GPL.

web.archive.org/web/2007082621…

The Linux kernel is also the biggest software project in the world, with the biggest number of contributors and companies involved in its development.

The first name Torvalds landed on was Freax, for Free Unix. But as things happened, hosting that Freax kernel was initially done by Ari Lemmke, a member of the staff for Helsinki's university, and this person created a directory called Linux, because that was Torvalds's working name.

In terms of mascot, and the name of that mascot is Tux, not because penguins wear tuxedos naturally, but because it stands for Torvalds Unix. Why a penguin, though? It's because Torvalds was bitten by a penguin.

But the linux kernel also has codenames. For example, version 3.14 was called "shuffling zombie juror", version 4.3 was "blurry fish butt", and version 6.0 is "hurr durr I'm a ninja sloth".

handwiki.org/wiki/List_of_Linu…

But also, the Linux name was almost lost to a trademark dispute. In 1995, someone named William R. Della Croce Junior, the most evil sounding name I ever heard, filed for a trademark on Linux. He then proceeded to send letters to various Linux distributors asking for 10% royalties, as the ultimate one person patent troll.

Steve Jobs offered Torvalds a job around the year 2000, with a sizeable salary, and a good position in the organization. The pitch was "work on Unix for the biggest user base". The only condition was that he abandoned Linux and stopped working on it altogether.

theverge.com/2012/3/22/2893581…

But Torvalds isn't just the creator of the Linux kernel. He also created Git.

Linux is basically running the film industry and Hollywood. The first movie to use Linux was Titanic in 1997, rendered using OpenSUSE, but it didn't stop there. Avatar's effects were rendered on Linux server farms. lord of the Rings? Linux. I Robot? Linux.

Linux also runs the space industry. And also, in the supercomputer world, Linux is the ONLY option. Out of the fastest 500 supercomputers, Linux runs 100% of them, or at least it did in early 2023.

Linux creator turned down Apple job offer from Steve Jobs

In an interview with Wired, Linux creator Linus Torvalds discusses turning down a job offer from Apple CEO Steve Jobs, as well his work with the influential Linux platform.

The Dev One is a device that targets developers. It's made out of aluminium, and the chassis is very rigid, with almost no deck flex at all.

The device itself has a wedge shape, and it's pretty thin, at less than 2cm at its thickest point. It weighs less than 1.5 kilograms, although it does feel relatively heavy and solid.

The screen is covered in glass, and so it's pretty reflective and susceptible to fingerprints. It's 14 inch, at 1920 by 1080, and it can go up to 1000 nits of brightness.

The bezels are relatively large for today's standards, but they're nothing to complain about, and the top one hosts a 720p webcam, with a privacy shutter included, which is cool, no need for duct tape or post it notes.

The webcam is your usual potato quality, it's not full HD, it's a bit grainy, and it doesn't handle lighting very well. The microphone isn't bad at all though.

Let's move on to the I/O. On the left side, you have your kensington lock, and 2 USB A ports that go up to 5 Gigabits per second, as well as the holy headphone jack.

On the right side, you have the port for the barrel charger included in the box, an HDMI 2.0 port, and 2 USB C 10 Gigabit per second that also support display port and charging.

The speakers are really good, and don't distort at all, even on max volume.

The keys feel solid, very stable, and actuate well, even the spacebar when you press it on the very side. They included a little nub as well. The touchpad appropriately has 2 buttons on top, so you can click while using the nub, but that unfortunately reduces the surface for touchpad users like me, an there is no clickable middle button. Still, that touchpad is really, really good.

In terms of internals, the Dev One only comes in one configuration: a Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage.

The CPU is 8 core, 16 threads, and has a base clock of 1.9Ghz, up to 4.4Ghz when boosting. It's a very, very powerful beast indeed, with a geekbench score of 1550 in singlecore and 7707 in multi core.

As per battery life, I left the laptop on a youtube loop with firefox, over wifi, at mid brightness, and it lasted for 8h30 hours before shutting down. On a more typical workload, I used it to write scripts, using firefox and nextcloud notes, listening to music, with wifi on, a bluetooth mouse, and mid brightness, and it lasted for 7 hours.

Ok, let's move on to the software. The dev One runs popOS 22.04, and there's been a lot of work done by both teams on that front.

The integration goes up to the support as well: just like a System76 laptop, you can create a support ticket right from the settings, and HP has a dedicated support team for that device to ensure things run smoothly, with a process to pass on tickets to system76 if they're software related.

There are some kinks to the software, though: first you have to agree to a license agreement to use the device. Then, there's the analytics. It's completely opt-in and not enabled by default.

The Dev One can be purchased with 2 accessories. The Hp Wireless Creator Mouse, and the launch keyboard from System76.

"On July 7, 2005, four young men carried out coordinated suicide bombings on London’s public transport system, killing 52 people and injuring over 700. The attackers weren’t foreign operatives; they were British citizens. The shock was profound. The country mourned, then mobilized. The government promised security measures. Laws were

Bullitt (1968 film with Steve McQueen as Lt. Frank Bullitt of the San Fran Police Dept.)

The car chase scene with Lt. Bullitt in a 1968 Ford Mustang chasing 2 hit men in a 1968 Dodge Charger showed the improved handling of a lighter weight vehicle in city driving. But it seemed ridiculous the way it caught back up to the Charger on the open road after the bad guys had caused the Mustang to slide out and stop.

Anonymous member WARNING: Witch Hunt in Pickens, SC An actual witch hunt is being organized by the Stillwater Christian Fellowship in Pickens, South Carolina. Thought we learned from Salem, but here we are. Members of this church group are infiltrating safe spaces for pagans and witches on Facebook, tracking local events, and showing up to harass attendees. So far, they have chased down and cornered people, screaming that they're going to hell. While no one has been physically harmed yet, they are actively quoting Exodus 22:18—"You are not to allow a witch to live"—as justification for their actions. Stay vigilant, protect your spaces, and look out for each other. Be safe out there, everyone.

Face au 14 juillet belliciste, antisocial et fascisant de Macron, notre 14 juillet 2025 sera pacifique, patriotique et antifasciste !


DĂŠclaration du PĂ´le de Renaissance communiste en France

Le 14 juillet 1935, le grand défilé parisien du Front populaire impulsé par le PCF et par la CGTU sous les plis mêlés des drapeaux rouges et tricolores se concluait au stade Buffalo aux accents de la Marseillaise et de l’Internationale tour à tour entonnées par Jacques Duclos. Allait suivre la victoire du Front populaire aux élections de 36 avec à la clef, la dissolution des ligues fascistes, les grèves accompagnées des occupations d’usine, de grandes avancées sociales et surtout…. la classe ouvrière devenant pour la première fois l’avant-garde reconnue de la Nation à l’initiative du Parti communiste français.

Le 14 juillet 1945, une immense manifestation parisienne célébrait la victoire des peuples sur le nazisme à l’issue. Le rôle déterminant de l’Armée rouge dans la victoire remportée sur Hitler était alors universellement reconnu et, en France même, nul ne se fût risqué à minimiser l’importance de la Résistance communiste intérieure dans la libération de notre pays. Du reste, le « Parti des Fusillés » obtenait alors près de 30% des suffrages tandis que la CGT réunifiée présidée par Frachon comptait cinq millions d’adhérents… Aile marchante du gouvernement d’unité patriotique issu du CNR, les ministres communistes Thorez, Croizat, Billoux, Marcel Paul, Casanova (Duclos étant alors président de l’Assemblée nationale) allaient promptement mettre en place la Sécurité sociale, les retraites par répartition, la généralisation des conventions collectives, le Code du travail, les statuts du fonctionnaire, du mineur et de l’électricien-gazier. Ce volet social était d’ailleurs adossé aux nationalisations de Renault, de l’Énergie, de l’Aéronautique (SNECMA), des Charbonnages et des principales banques. Tout cela fut accompli en deux ans car dès 1947, les ministres communistes furent exclus du gouvernement sur l’ordre des États-Unis désireux d’engager mondialement la croisade antisoviétique qu’on allait bientôt surnommer « guerre froide ».

Eh bien, le 14 juillet 2025 dessiné par Macron se situera aux antipodes de ces deux 14 juillet dignes du grandiose 14 juillet 1789. Sous l’impulsion du pouvoir actuel, la France officielle est en effet devenue le fer de lance de la marche à la guerre continentale que projette l’UE-OTAN arrimée aux dirigeants maladivement anti-russes de Londres. En témoigne le très agressif pacte militaire conclu ce 10 juillet, sans la moindre consultation préalable des deux Parlements nationaux concernés, par MM. Macron et Starmer en vue de la coordination des forces nucléaires anglaise et française. Cette marche de plus en plus précipitée des forces euro-atlantiques vers le « conflit global de haute intensité » tourné contre la Russie, mais aussi contre la Chine populaire (ouvertement ciblée par la cheffe de la « diplomatie » européenne Kaja Kallas), vise à maintenir l’hégémonie planétaire chancelante de l’Axe euro-atlantique (flanqué du régime pronazi de Kiev et des dirigeants génocidaires d’Israël !) sur la « majorité mondiale » que représente notamment le mouvement planétaire des BRICS. Y compris si cette hégémonie devait être préservée au prix d’une troisième guerre mondiale possiblement exterminatrice pour notre pays, si ce n’est pour toute l’humanité, voire pour l’ensemble du vivant ?

Ajoutons que le prétendu « isolationnisme » de Donald Trump et son soi-disant « abandon » de Kiev relèvent en réalité d’une nouvelle division du travail entre les forces euro-atlantiques, Trump préparant avant tout une guerre d’agression contre la Chine sur fond de mainmise israélo-américaine sur le Proche-Orient alors que l’UE, à nouveau dominée par l’impérialisme allemand en plein réarmement, est chargée par Trump de mener la charge contre la Fédération de Russie.

En outre, la marche à la guerre impérialiste s’accompagne comme toujours d’une régression sociale massive que le gouvernement Bayrou-Retailleau est chargé de mener contre ce qui subsiste des conquêtes de la Libération et du produire en France industriel, halieutique et agricole.

Enfin, les processus de fascisation de l’UE, mais aussi de la Ve « République » en voie de dissolution dans l’État fédéral européen en gestation, s’accélèrent sur fond de montée des extrêmes droites et d’euro-criminalisation des mouvements de soutien à Gaza. Du reste, l’euro-banalisation des néonazis kiéviens s’accompagne de persécutions anticommunistes caractérisées (Tchéquie, Ukraine, Pologne…), tout cela dans l’absolu silence de la fausse gauche atlantiste.

Trump cuts to food banks are making providing disaster aid difficult


Near the beginning of Trump’s second term, the Department of Agriculture stopped the flow of some of the money that pays for deliveries of products like meats, eggs, and vegetables known as “bonus commodities” through The Emergency Food Assistance Program, or TEFAP, to charitable organizations like food banks. TEFAP is one of the primary ways that state and federal governments have ensured food reaches communities in need in the aftermath of climate-fueled disasters like a hurricane or heatwave.

In March, the USDA also moved to end future rounds of funding for the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program and the Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program. These two programs, which are also designed to support emergency food providers such as food banks, were slated to distribute more than a billion dollars this fiscal year to states, tribes, and territories.

5 Errors to Avoid When Choosing an Affordable Website


 If you’re going for a budget site, great. Just dodge these mistakes to save time, money, and frustration.

You want a website, but you’re not looking to break the bank. That’s a solid plan.
There are plenty of “budget” or “low-cost” web design options out there. If you’re careful, you can get a site that’s both affordable and effective. But too many people end up with a site that’s glitchy, outdated, or just doesn’t work because they fell into common pitfalls.

If you’re going for a budget site, great. Just dodge these mistakes to save time, money, and frustration.

1. Thinking "Cheap" Means "Awful"—or "Amazing"


People often make one of two errors. Some assume a cheap website is guaranteed to be terrible. Others think they’re getting a high-end site for pennies.
Both are off-base.

You can absolutely get a clean, functional website without spending thousands, especially if you need something simple—a few pages, basic info, or a contact form. But “cheap” doesn’t mean you’re getting a custom-built site with all the bells and whistles. Be realistic.

That said, don’t dismiss affordable designers just because their prices are low. Some are new and eager to build their portfolios. Others use tools like Squarespace or WordPress to work efficiently. A skilled cheap website designer delivers value by focusing on what you need.

Look at their past work. Have a chat. If their style fits your goals, you’re set.

2. Not Knowing What You Need


The biggest mistake is hiring someone to “make a website” without a clear idea of what it’s for. You end up with a site that looks fine but doesn’t do the job.

Before you start, figure out:

  • What’s the site’s purpose (e.g., showcase your work, sell products, collect leads)?
  • What pages or features are must-haves?
  • Will you need to update it later?
  • How should it work on phones?

You don’t need a detailed spec sheet, just a sense of direction. Without it, you’ll get a generic or mismatched site, and even a cheap site is a waste if it doesn’t work.

A budget site still needs a purpose.

3. Rushing the Job—or Letting Them Rush It


Fast work is fine, but sloppy work isn’t.

Some cheap website designers are quick because they’ve got their process down to a science. That’s great. But if someone offers to whip up a full site in a day without asking about your needs, that’s a warning sign.

A solid designer, even an affordable one, will take time to understand your audience, message, and preferences. It doesn’t need to be a long process, but a quick discussion is essential.

Don’t rush them either. Demanding a complete site overnight leads to mistakes. A good cheap website designer needs a few days to organize content, choose images, and test everything.

Take the time to get it right. It’ll pay off.

4. Skipping Mobile, Speed, or Updates


Your site has to work on phones. It needs to load fast. And you should be able to update it without relying on the designer for every change.

Many cheap websites miss these basics. They might look decent on a computer but break on mobile. Or they’re slowed down by clunky code or too many plugins. Or they’re built in a way that makes simple changes a nightmare.

That’s not a bargain—it’s a liability.

Even a low-cost site should be mobile-friendly and quick. If it’s built on a platform like WordPress, you should be able to edit text or images yourself. Ask the designer how updates work and what maintenance is needed.

Test it before it goes live. Don’t just hope it’s okay.

5. Assuming It’s a One-Off Task


Websites aren’t a “build it and leave it” thing. They need a bit of care. Too many people get a cheap site, put it online, and forget about it. A year later, links are broken, forms don’t work, and the content’s outdated.

Even a simple site needs occasional attention. Update your info. Check that forms and links still function. Refresh the look if it feels stale.

A good cheap website designer builds a site that’s easy to manage. Ask them what’s needed to keep it running—maybe monthly checks or software updates. And make sure you know how to reach them if something breaks.

How to Make It Work


You can get an awesome site on a budget if you’re smart about it.

  • Choose a cheap website designer with a proven track record.
  • Look for someone who listens, asks questions, and explains their process clearly.
  • They should focus on the essentials: a clean design, clear content, fast performance, and easy updates.

You don’t need fancy animations or custom code. You need a site that shows who you are, communicates your message, and makes it easy for visitors to take action.

Stay within your budget, but don’t chase the cheapest option blindly. Know what you want, stay involved, and communicate clearly. That’s how you get a website that’s both affordable and worth every cent.
