<p><p>One UI 8 permanently removes the option to unlock the bootloader on all devices

61
<p><p>Copyright ought to be rethought, now that computers and networks exist. Back
62
when not anyone could make copies of books, it was reasonable to assume that
63
if you were making copies, you were depriving the author of potential income.

<h2><a href="/articles/gtk--makes-no-sense.html" class="article-title">GTK 4 makes no sense</a></h2>
72
<div class="home-article-date">2025-03-04</div>
73
<p><p>I recently started to write a GTK 3 library, but then I realised it will be
74
obsolete in 5 years at most, and I thought GTK 4 isn't that bad, so I decided to
75
port it to GTK 4. Turns out I was wrong.

86
<div class="home-article-date">2024-12-27</div>
87
<p><p>I've seen <a href="https://modernfontstacks.com/">Modern Font Stacks</a>. I agree that there are many cases
88
where system fonts are fine, but the stacks there have some problems, especially with GNU/Linux
89
devices.

<h2><a href="/articles/linux-on-the-surface-go.html" class="article-title">GNU/Linux on the Microsoft Surface Go</a></h2>
98
<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-27</div>
99
<p><p>Interestingly, the best GNU/Linux tablet is actually made by Microsoft. The
100
Surface Go (first generation) is a tablet released in 2018. The performance is
101
nothing amazing, but unlike most tablets, you can actually make use of the
102
performance it does have; it doesn't feel slow for normal tablet tasks either.
103
Besides that, it has a 10" screen, front and back cameras, a kickstand, stylus
104
support and a detachable keyboard — but the latter two are sold separately.

113
<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-10</div>
114
<p><p>I see this so often and it's so wrong. That if you know GNU/Linux, you must
115
switch to Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE or at least Debian. That if you use
116
Mint or Ubuntu, you're not a real GNU/Linux user.

<h2><a href="/articles/gnulinux-not-linux.html" class="article-title">A Reason to Call it GNU/Linux</a></h2>
125
<div class="home-article-date">2024-07-31</div>
126
<p><p>Linux isn't very Unix-like by itself. Of course, it's a Unix-like <em class="emphasis-1">kernel</em>, and it
127
does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU
128
suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like
129
one.

<h2><a href="/articles/homemade-nas.html" class="article-title">Cheap, homemade NAS with Raspberry Pi</a></h2>
138
<div class="home-article-date">2024-05-21</div>
139
<p><p>This is a very simple, cheap and quick way to get networked storage at home. It should not cost
140
more than €120 for all the components (assuming you've got a network you can plug it into). It also
141
offers more flexibility than a commercial NAS, because you can install any software you want on it.
142
And if you already use the Raspberry Pi for something else, you can just add this to it and not
143
worry about an extra device you need power, networking, space and maintenance for.

<div class="home-article-date">2024-05-07</div>

<p><p>Welcome to my new website! I've moved from GitHub to a git software I've developed,
201
<a href="https://roundabout-host.com/roundabout/roundabout">a roundabout</a>. To go along with
202
this move, I also made a new website, which is powered by a custom static site generator
203
called <a href="https://roundabout-host.com/roundabout/ampoule">Ampoule</a>. This will be the
204
generator I will use to write the documentation for all my projects, including the
205
roundabout itself.
