Lately, in our Big Data course at University, we were required to install Hadoop and made a report about the installation progress. Having completed it, I thought I should share my experience.

Happy 30th birthday, Linux! Thirty years ago, on August 25th, 1991, 21-year-old Finnish student Linus Benedict Torvalds made his now-famous announcement on the comp.os.minix news group, saying that he’s working on a free operating system for 386(486) AT clones, just as a hobby.

Hello everybody out there using minix – I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them 🙂 Linus

PS. Yes – it’s free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-(.

Getting Flutter and Android working together is no small feat.

Linux may be a first-class citizen when it comes to developing with Flutter, but setting up Java, Android and the Android tool-chain can be a real hassle.

This blog post shows how get Flutter working with Android SDK without installing Android Studio.

This is my personal config for the ranger file manager. Some basic information:

After writing a post about my phone setup, I realized that I haven’t had one for my bigger machine (touchy). So here it goes.

So my currently setup is a ThinkPad T480 and… yeah, that’s all. You heard it right. I plan to get a 27 inch monitor later though. And furthermore, a legit PC? Oh don’t forget my “soon to be bought” mechanical keyboard ( I have a long wishes list. I meant, who doesn’t?).
