Honestly, I'm starting to feel uneasy about the machines that I have booted Ventoy on.

This, but unironically.

Does USB not use interrupts?

It's not just ugly, it's against the spec. The quiet zone is meant to be 4 "dots" wide on all sides for the code to be optimally readable.

Like rocket engines in space, the sun has its own oxidizer tank. Let's hope it won't run out anytime soon.

The documentation has improved a lot recently. Especially the pocket guide is a great addition.

As far as I understand it the funds were previously part of the so-called Digital Europe programme which includes funding for a wide range of sectors in the tech industry. The €27 million for free software projects are not included in the latest proposal for renewal. I don't know why that decision was made. If the money was diverted, then probably towards investments into semiconductor fabs or some AI stuff.

That might have been the case at some point, but I have definitely been on a doubledecker bus that's crossing Tram lines in east Berlin.

No, you absolutely don't need to care at all about the memory management when using Linux. This rabbit hole is really only relevant when you want to work on the Linux kernel or do some really low-level programming.

I would say the most obscure thing that is useful to know for running Linux is drive partitioning, but modern installers give you a lot of handrails in this process.

The really crazy thing about the graph is that there are 433 fucking datapoints!
