Yuna<p>Can I code on a Raspberry Pi?<br>💻 From Raspberry Pi Dreams to Coding Nightmares 🧠</p><p>I recently migrated all my native Java executables from a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 to my home server. One machine to rule them all. With the Pi now free, I dared to ask: "Could it serve as a desktop?"<br>Spoiler: No. Not even close.</p><p>After soldering proper connectors (because micro USB is now the tech version of a fossil), I powered it up. Not to code. Just to open a browser.</p><p>It failed. Spectacularly.</p><p>Apparently, launching a modern browser now requires a minimum of 1GB RAM and the will of a dying star. Dear frontend framework fans: maybe stop shipping entire JS ecosystems just to render a button. You're not curing cancer. Less is more.</p><p>Irony? The Pi still serves as a server, solid, silent, reliable. But opening a single webpage? That’s where it draws the line. My other Pi models are bulkier veterans. They used to work as desktop machines. Now? They drown in memory and I/O demands like kittens in a tsunami of bloated software.</p><p>Speaking of I/O, let’s talk coding:<br>Tools like Gradle will kill your SD card faster than you will to debug XML.<br>IDE's and all the modern crap survives long enough to say goodbye as they are bloatware, not software. If I had time, I would rewrite all the tools.</p><p>I tried expensive SD cards. They all broke. Modern tools have no mercy. <br>And the shiny new Raspberry Pi 500? Still runs off an SD card. <br>Beautiful concept. Terrible choice for our terrible software performance.</p><p>Yet, I admire it. The idea that a computer fits in a keyboard, Keyboard computers are cyberpunk incarnate. <br>Imagine cramming a MacBook Air's logic board into a mechanical shell. <br>No fan. No nonsense. Just cool, portable silicon nirvana and a clean desk everywhere.</p><p>If only our software wasn't a bloated mass of lazy abstractions, we could actually use these machines. But AI's coming for us and it was trained on this mess.</p><p>So here I am, dreaming of turning my old MacBook Air into a keyboard-only cyberdeck. Who needs a screen when you’ve got a home office? Who needs a webcam when your phone stalks you from five angles?</p><p>Apple take notes: Give us something like a Pi.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Coding</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareBloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareBloat</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EdgeComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EdgeComputing</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DevLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DevLife</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Minimalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Minimalism</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FrontendMadness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FrontendMadness</span></a></p>
Aaro Koskinen<p>Building Perl 5 natively has been running for 2 days on OMAP1 w/32MB RAM, so I decided to look if there's something to optimize... It used to finish within a day. The compilation seems to proceed well, it's just slow because of swapping.</p><p>GCC 12.4 cc1 binary alone is around 22 megs. If I compile it with -Oz it shrinks almost 4 megs! On other binaries (like binutils) difference is not that big but still measurable. Going to check if this helps.</p><p><a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/ARM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ARM</span></a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/SoftwareBloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareBloat</span></a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/LowEnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LowEnd</span></a> <a href="https://bitwoods.duckdns.org/tags/Hobbyist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hobbyist</span></a></p>
Christian<p>Every time I download a gigabyte-sized update for a software that solves one simple problem, I think the exact same thing: "The world is shipping far too much code..." <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/softwareBloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>softwareBloat</span></a> </p><p>Nice article by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@bert_hubert" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bert_hubert</span></a></span>: <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/lean-software-development" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spectrum.ieee.org/lean-softwar</span><span class="invisible">e-development</span></a></p>
