Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    PS/2 Port on its way to harass the CPU

    [–] Aganim 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Seems the CPU has become the bully these days:

    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    Keyboard: E
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
    CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?

    My grandpa always used to say that computers used to be way better before they became electrical.

    Ah, yes the good ol days of punch cards, switch boards, mechanical operators and electron tubes, when will the youngins learn that their fancy transistors are for pussies

    Personally I inscribe all of my code into binary on a fired clay tablet and store it in a cave for archival purposes

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    No I meant the real computers

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Low level accountants in the early 20th century.

    No binary monstrosity could ever replace just doing it in your head.

    [–] Smokeydope 5 points 1 year ago

    I always appreciated Dunes idea of a mentat, basically an accountant trained from birth and juiced up on brain steroids to have equal computing ability to a high level AI. Usually when I think of the way human conciousness may evolve and trancend its current capabilities my mind goes right to the psychadellic-bro conciousness expansion and non-localized astral projection stuff, its interesting to consider there are other potential paths to augmenting human conciousness and what other boundaries could be pushed.

    A disgusting fifth glyph? In MY list of funny pics? I may throw up.

    Is there not multiple in your name?

    He's a traitor.

    [–] davidgro 1 points 1 year ago

    IDs don't count. Would fail too many for a hard to fix thing.

    Ah, a man of abundant class. How wondrous to run into you on this platform.

    Modern USB keyboards need to be asked what's being pressed by the CPU multiple times a second, but old PS/2 keyboards will actually interrupt the CPU to send the key press command

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Oh, didn't actually know what's being done behind the scene...

    Why is this relevant to Linux only?

    I see you had interruptions masked.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Why e in this context? I have seen sei() and cli() before, but not E.

    [–] marcos 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    That's the very important information you got from the keyboard.

    Some context may come later, but it will take ages.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Thanks, apparently I can't read. I somehow missed the top right yellow speech bubble.

    Int 8 would like to say hello. And you better not take too long.

    [–] dylanTheDeveloper 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Good old interrupts, how come we don't do it like that for drivers anymore

    [–] zzx 4 points 1 year ago

    We still kinda do, just depends on the kernel you're using. On Windows any IRQL > 2 is pretty much instant like the bird
