Name in IPA: /əʊvɪ.ʃeɪk pɔɪ.rə/ I'm 24 years old, male, postgraduate student of Computer Science in India. I Love GNU (গ্নু), free (স্বাধীন) Software[0], Mathematics and fountain pens. I aspire to be hacker[1] and good human being. Majority of my posts concern gnu, free software, and about software I use in my day to day life. Occasionally I post about fountain pens and very rarely I post about mathematics. Sometimes, I also post in Bengali language with multiple spelling mistakes. If you don't have much appreciation for gnu or free software, you'll find me a GNUisance. I recommend you don't follow me in that case. Old account: @redstarfish@social.linux.pizza [0] https://www.fsf.org/resources/what-is-fs/index_html [1] Here, the word "Hacker" doesn't mean the person who breaks computer security, that's Cracker. For the meaning of the word see Steven Levy's book Hacker or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture
Trisquel 12 is very close to being released. I think I'll install it in my 2019 laptop that's running Debian 12 right now. In this machine, wifi chip is freedom incompatible, but it has an Ethernet port. What I do now is, whenever I'm at home where I have access to Ethernet, I boot into the Linux-libre kernel. I also keep a copy non-free Linux kernel so that I can have wifi in case of emergencies. My guess is I can keep a similar setup. I can get the non-free linux kernel from Ubuntu archive. Or if necessary I can always build it from source.
A friend was having trouble with her laptop, so gave me to look at. It's an 11th gen i3 processor. I played supertuxkart for half an hour, and temperature spiked to 92 degrees Celsius. After that, processor is throttling, clock speed became 400 MHz. This is the first time I'm seeing a modern processor crawling at 400 MHz :D (Yes, I'm young, how did you know?)
