Both. Whatever works for you I'd say. I targeted the Raspberry Pi (Cross-Linux From Scratch variant), and a fake root (via chroot) and qemu. This was circa 2014 though.
These days the ARM64 processor on the Raspberry Pi 5 is probably fast enough to just build natively on it, no cross-compilation necessary. Cross-compiling adds a metric ton of complexity.
Having done this way back when on both: go with a VM first.
Targeting a known set of virtual devices makes a lot of things much easier when building LFS. Dev ux is also much nicer:, you get faster restarts, a socket and optional snapshots to go back to a known less broken state.
In my opinion having it on a separate computer is easier,
but you can also run this in one or three KDE konsole tabs,
for instance, on an external hdd/sdd.
We could also talk about lb•AU (pound Astronomical Units), but generally it's best to stick to what's standard so readers don't need to do conversions. Watt hours is great.
It's not terrible... The iPhone 17 has a battery capacity of 63 nano lb·AU. Around 16 million would equal 1 lb·AU.
Another fun one would be milli hundredweight leauge (mcwt·lg). Both hundredweight and league have multiple accepted definitions to make it more "fun". But the range maps quite nicely to everyday things:
My dad recently told me a funny story about something that happened to him. Except it actually had happened to me and I had told him about it years before.
I recognize this in my self, so I usually preface the story saying something like "this may or may not have been me, but I'm telling it from the first person". First person stories are funnier. This is part of the "telling a yarn" or "tall tale" tradition I grew up with (in Texas).
Heh, my wife was recently telling a story about how she taught our son how to run into a hug. She did not, I actually did, but I let her have it since she was so excited about it.
The idea of needing to provide extremely personal information that’s somehow tailored for me just to use a service is so incredibly dystopian to me. I’d much rather use a password.
The way text resizes on that website is so strange. It's actually amazing how awful it is. Like they went out of their way to ensure it resizes in the most ridiculous possible manner. And the zoom on my browser does nothing. Absolutely amazing.
Yea, wow. The very first thing I do on most websites is CMD-+ to make the text larger and to make it fit my browser window horizontally, and somehow this site managed to be so bad that it prevents even that. I don't know how we keep furthering this trend of having a web site be a 5 inch wide strip of tiny font text down the middle of the browser window, with double that in whitespace on either side.
