@Suiseiseki According to spacex they use Linux on the Falcon rockets. I'd imagine whatever realtime performance needed in a satellite is also needed on the rockets. Linux is free software, so all of their scheduler changes should be at least available if not upstreamed.
That's saying nothing of all of the userspace systems and offline tooling needed to run a rocket, which is where the bulk of their systems probably are anyway.
@mangeurdenuage tbf, computers we send to space today are still pretty cool. They're usually some fault tolerant system using older computers because the high transistor size is beneficial in space. I think the only not-cool thing is the absolutely proprietary nature of anything going to space, but apparently SpaceX got Linux past the FAA and NASA so maybe more satellites will start using :linux:
@alex This man simultaneously recognizes the federated nature of mastodon and still refers to it as a singular platform. Sure, most mastodon servers are pretty similar, but the loli instances are pretty distinct iirc. And ultimately, since it's free software, it's outside of Eugen's control anyway.
The most interesting part about this is the confirmation that autists are skimming the fediverse and making OSINT tools to dox users. Pretty fucked up, but inevitable given the recent attention the network has been getting.
@augustus Although there are interesting possibilities that ai has for sound applications. Like imagine an ai that harmonizes with you according to the key you're actually playing in, with a similar tone, and in a similar style.
@ikezawa It's good, but impossible to do in any meaningful sense. Even suckless programs just end up deferring their complexity down to linux and x11, which are both massive projects. I think it's good to be simple, but being "minimal" just means limiting your options and that's not so great either.
@graf It was in my tl, not the local/federated. I actually wasn't following, I think someone boosted it, and husky somehow still showed it but as a hidden post.
