Look, I'm all in favor of switching away from Zoom's new "we'll train our AI on all your meetings" policy and to robust open source alternatives like Jitsi or Big Blue Button, but can we please acknowledge that "you don't have to trust anyone, just read the source" is not actually legitimate advice for projects with a million lines of code plus dependencies, *even for highly experienced developers*?

Yes, Pennsylvania (annual rainfall 1-1.5m roughly evenly distributed throughout the year) definitely looks like this clearly artificial desert picture

@krismicinski @regehr@mastodon.social I mean, it's an official supported platform for Debian and FreeBSD, and you can buy boards akin to RPis pretty easily (https://mangopi.org/mqquad), so, I think it's a thing now

@regehr@mastodon.social @krismicinski this is very true. But this is also the first architecture I can think of where it's easier for hobbyists to get an interesting (small but not microcontroller) board than it is to get a really powerful board, and I wonder what the long-term effects of that will be, could be interesting.

@regehr@mastodon.social @krismicinski "reasonably powerful" is questionable; the board I linked is roughly like a raspberry pi with 1gb of RAM, quad core. Easy to get to play around with or port to (some OpenBSD folks organized a purchase of a pile of these for porting)
