I like this. Bitbake is a steep learning curve. Nowhere near as simple as buildroot. But I maintain that if you can get over the first few slopes, the payoff is worth it.

However, I don't like new files as patches. I really prefer to have my device tree be a dts file that I bring in instead of bundled into a patch. Maybe I'm not following the guidelines, but I think it's nicer to be able to search for dts things in .dts files and I get nice syntax highlighting and whatnot.

I also like their stance that you only need one layer. I've had people push for a layer per machine. Not needed as shown here and most other places.

This is what I do on custom boards. It's better to "look" at files and link to others when they're files and not patches.

Well - what is actually written in Rust so far that is in the kernel?

I have been doing backend/infrastructure coding for years and have been thinking about trying embedded work but am unsure how to break into that area. Curious if you (your industry) would be interested in someone with a lot of Linux/systems experience but not in the embedded space?
azzentys · 3 months ago
I'd start from this - https://www.coursera.org/specializations/advanced-embedded-l...

I studied under him at the university. He's also active in open source communities around embedded space.

Is embedded Linux that different to regular Linux?

Edit: I mean, Vizio TVs literally run systemd.

A lot of work here is working on vendor provided BSP (which can range from esoteric mix of ancient kernels/bootloaders to top-quality community maintained mainline kernels) to work on your custom board/product.

I have never fully understood the motivation to work on OSS. Don't get me wrong there isn't anything that I write on my personal time that I have a problem sharing with others or even making PD. What I don't want to do is to be responsible for software that I am not being compensated for (compensation does not have to be money). I have children, grandchildren, animals, and personal goals that require my time so I just cannot see trading away these things to maintain software. I can see how software could be part of my personal goals in a way similar to building a cherry sideboard but the difference is that no one will request features or bug fixes for my sideboard after it is completed.

That's fine. Not everyone has to do OSS. It's similar to volunteering for charity (weak analogy).

azzentys commented on Nginx has moved to GitHub   mailman.nginx.org/piperma... · Posted by u/doctorwhat

Recently, I was browsing an open source project I use a lot. "Sign in to search code on GitHub" was kinda discouraging to see.

Sure, I can clone it and run grep/ripgrep - but sometimes I like the ability to search the code on the browser.

Is it only GitHub where this is a restriction or GitLab is similar?

I like how the xkcd seems to frame it: seeking out problems to list can cause insignificant problems to seem significant. It's how "writer's mind" can be a problem in deepening a meditation practice.

Curious: What does "writer's mind" mean with respect to deepening meditation practice?

Thanks for this thread. It's sad that I will have to switch to another keyboard.
