I agree, the only modules that should be embedded into the kernel is the filesystem module and the SATA module = just enough to get the kernel to boot up the OS without needing an initrd.gz, it's been a few years since I built my own but I used to have a sweet recipe for rolling my own kernel

Laptops, tablets & smartphones are the gadgets dujour, what would fill a niche and sell quite well is the cyberdeck like Clockwork's uConsole or the Mecha Comet, I am seriously considering one because tablets only have a single type C USB plugin spot and I need more functionality but not too big physically, something durable I can toss in a rucksack and go for a hike in the wilderness and listen to HF radio with a cheap SDR with a longwire, and most laptops are too big for my needs, I could manage to do it with a tablet but I rather have a Linux powered cyberdeck because google is an entity I don't want dictating what software I can use

I prefer my expert advice to come from 4chan

The US Gov outlived it's usefulness, it needs to be completely rebuilt from the ground up with accountability so criminal behavior is severely punished, not wanting to destroy a democrstic republic just wanting it to be truly benevolent to everyone not just the banker billionaire class

It was not the peasants that allowed a bunch of third world rape culture in, it was the fucking government that did it, the same government that is supposed to protect the people became the enemy within,

I agree, I would setup a buowulf cluster of raspberry pi or a bunch of x86 PCs before I would accept vendor lock in, once a big tech has lock in they devise a way to extract all the profits out of you

That module can always be added to the blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file

That's what I am trying to figure out, the best I can think of is the albedo effect but microplastics is way to small to have that effect, I seen volcanic rock in the desert in summer get so hot you could literally cook on it would be far worse than microplastics, maybe they should get a fleet of crop dusters loaded with white paint and cover all the dark patches of earth like ancient lava flows where the summer sun makes volcanic rock hot enough to cook on it

Just think of the possibilities, you can play video games and buy other people's junk at the same time, now that's multi-tasking I can get in to

I would not trust anything wal street has to say because their only interest is getting your money, and AI is the current bubble so I would stay far far away from that

You don't want to eat me, I'm old and leathery from living outdoors in the Arizona desert for too long
