Wait is generation on the host? Nonono you generate a GPG key on the key then export the public key and derive the SSH key. These instructions are wrong the host never should store the key even if airgapped
If you’re into the D1 get a $25 Mango Pi 1Gb from Alixexpress. They also have very nice minimalist metal cases if you search. Wifi and bluetooth onboard.
This Devterm product looks great largely because it copied the design of the Tandy. But, the reviews for the build quality are damning, the chip is underpowered for this task and some of the design choices make no sense. Who needs a thermal printer in 2022? Why are there two giant bezels on the sides that pop open the case?
But hey nice try. A few more revisions and I might buy one. I like that they’re trying something different, big points there. I wonder if they could put magnetic modules on the back like Motorola’s bricks (phoneblocks?) concept.
Same reason why I need a UART plug externally accessible
Its a cyberdeck, the more questionable the features the better, because then you can make up silly scenarios about saving the world with it, e.g. doing a direct audit of the network hardware in a datacenter, plug in your serial cable, download the running/stored configs, beam them up to some wifi accessable server, plus generate a paper backup at the same time
or, log into your deck at the start of the day, as you are reading the morning news, you get a printout of today's todo list and agenda
I bought one. The build is actually really good. The bezels are there for easy access for opening (no screws). The thermal printer is just a Retro gimmick which is the whole theme of the devterm. I disagree with LazyDev about the build, it's actually very good IMO, and fun to build.
It basically runs linux but I don't like it too much mainly because the UI isn't suited for the keyboard and the little mouse roller (which is terrible). A form factor like this really needs an entire GUI targetted specifically for it, instead this uses XFCE.
I would say if someone made a GUI specifically targetting the DevTerm it would be great. If you exclusively use a mouseless interface then I would say this is actually quite good in the sense that it's this portable retro thing you can bring to places. But compared to say a small linux ultrabook, the ultrabook is lightyears ahead of this.
Only get this if you want something with retro vibes.
First off the tech doesn't go that far back nobody is using a TRS anymore. And second it's more of a retro vibe not an attempt to recreate the exact tech. I get why someone like you can't understand this concept. It's mainly because you're too logical and intelligent. You're basically a savant with a mind similar to a super computer, you're too logical to fully understand stupid people like me.
Let me explain what's going on. This is just low IQ people like me having a sort of appreciation for retro vibes. High IQ people like you likely are too efficient and awesome to sink to this kind of base cave man behavior that has no logical point. Pay no head to us, we're beneath you.
And since when was RISC-V retro? Calling RISC-V fantasy might be accurate. I fail to see how everyone shifting to an open ISA benefits the people. Saves chip designers a dollar on licensing sure. But the RTL is still closed for most RISC-V that gets tape out. So you have no clue what it’s doing. “open”. Sure.
Have you heard of pixel art? It's a form of art that appreciates the retro aesthetic. I don't think it's your thing. Your brain is to big for such simple minded behavior.
Do you know why? A mania kills a segment of the stupid, but provides enough capital to the remaining lucky who cashed in early such that they can reproduce where they otherwise wouldn’t have. It’s evolution at work. In the short term.
You know if I was a state sponsored intelligence unit the very first software I would backdoor would be IDS and TOR and every type of pentest tool. These tools secure you from intrusion like a flare gun hides your location.
They can’t consent to anything by your logic we should cut a hole in a cardboard box and put them in it until they’re 18. You have to be practical, that opportunity could generate millions for his future and build a career. I mean you can’t punish them for being unable to see the future. Judge them from the information available at the junction.
> You have to be practical, that opportunity could generate millions for his future and build a career.
Or they can be scared for life and have never get any of that money, as in this instance.
We don't force or even allow children to work in any other industry. It is ridiculous and offensive to say that calling for the end of the exception for child actors is somehow equivalent to saying "we should cut a hole in a cardboard box and put them in it until they’re 18"
Most jobs require a huge time investment and a reliable schedule.
At least theoretically, you could accommodate children by only giving them small roles that require very infrequent time investment on their part, and a bunch of people keeping an eye on everything going on.
The question is whether such a thing can be worked out at all, or whether it's safer just to jinx the entire idea, reasoning that there will be too much rule breaking despite good intentions.
It's definitely going to depend on the country and legal system -- it seems in Russia there's a fair amount of series with child actors in them, and I wonder how well they're treated, because a long running series is definitely going to be very demanding even on adults.
I think we need to predict what kids will become, what they actually want, and fully commit to giving them that outcome. It’s necessary to take some risk of an outcome like WW, but they were just being opportunistic. We need to pursue for children a narrative with intent.
My parents pushed me hard, but sent me to a liberal arts school, and I’m hardwired for engineering. Hilarity ensued. The grinding of gears was a memory I would pay to erase. Deeply resent spending hours every day learning languages for countries I had no interest in visiting and how glaciers formed. What a waste of my finite precious time. If only I could go back I’d run out the gate and get on a train never to be seen again.
I feel his resentment, but not sure if airing that on TV is rational, although it’s his right.
I imagine that airing it out on TV is somewhat cathartic for him; perhaps also a way in which to get closure on the topic.
I also feel like he wants to inflict some of the pain he felt back on his parents, and embarrassing them on TV is the only way to make them take notice. I doubt it's going to do much to heal their relationship, but reading the post, I doubt either party is interested in a reconciliation.
I recommend reading about his Star Trek experience. Because in 'Still just a geek' he describes how unseen by the writers he felt. While his fellow cast was great to him the writers didn't seem to understand the innards of a teenager between adults much and so he actually did not get closure from "airing it out".
The book is quite interesting and I enjoyed him reading it very much. Even if it was quite heavy in parts.
He also revisits his own not do nice things about his past, his insensitivity and other aspects. Quite open and interesting.
In that context, I’d love a spin off with his character as it was depicted now (being careful not to give too many spoilers). The topic could be brought up the same way Patrick Steward’s own childhood experiences informed the plot. Wesley’s relationship with his mom is very different of course, but, if he wants to share some of it, I’d be happy to be the audience.
Airing it in public isn't going to work for him. I had similar kinds of problems. Nothing I said or did worked so I just stopped talking about it. My mom would call me and I would politely talk to her about the weather and things like that, but nothing else. Now she's gone. We never could work out our issues. Most normal people accept that there are limits to what we can accomplish in our lives. Rich powerful people don't accept that truth, and keep trying to get what they want. But you can't always get what you want. So that's gonna be a hard lesson for Wil I think.
> Rich powerful people don't accept that truth, and keep trying to get what they want. But you can't always get what you want. So that's gonna be a hard lesson for Wil I think.
In the very first paragraph of the article, Wil explained how he predicted, correctly, what the reaction would be from his parents. He's not in denial, not even close.
> Rich powerful people don't accept that truth, and keep trying to get what they want. But you can't always get what you want.
Some people can’t stop trying, it’s involuntary. That 80’s tough love slogan “never, never give up” actually does work, and wealth follows but, made or born, people with that level of obsession are deeply flawed.
The tradeoff is usability though. I can have a TOTP code stored on two separate phones in two separate locations versus needing a yubikey always present.
To me, I'm too forgetful and dumb to not lose a yubikey, but I manage to not lose my phone.
