They reported on Hamas Attacks in a fairly standard news style when they attacked. Israel has killed at least 25x more civilians then Hamas i would expect slightly different reporting based on that at this stage.

Here in New Zealand you can buy it at the Hardware store in 20KG bags. Older houses have pot belly “stoves” for heat, which are smaller then log burners usually, and coal is the best fuel for them.

My longest was when i went 100% Full time on my main machine (no dual boot), I stopped distro-hoppping. I Installed Debian stable when it first came out (Jessie) and stayed with it until it shifted to “old-stable” which was a little bit over 3 years.

A lot of people give Debian stable a hard time but i found it worked well. Most software that i needed to be a little bit newer i could get from the backports repository. It was only at the end of it’s lifecycle that i noticed started running in to software being a little to old for what i wanted to do. Then i went back to distro-hopping for a while until i found my next home. :-)

RISC-V will be more viable in a few years at the moment it is getting popular in embedded application because of it’s licencing structure. That embedded experience is going to find it’s way to more general compute in time.

For SBC’s RISC-V’s main issue at this stage is software optimization at the back end (really the whole stack). At the moment a ARM board will be able to do the same task more efficiently then a RISC board because of those optimizations.

Personally i plan to buy a RISC board to play with i’m sure i can find a use case for one. I just want to personally see how the technology is progressing. Plus by using the software it will show developers that there is interest in this 3rd option. it’s kind of a chicken and egg problem software wise.
