A ultra minimal fetch program written in C in c/unixporn@lemmy.ml
[–] africavoid@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yesn't, yes it likey runs the same commands as neofetch, but if you run time with it you can see the difference, neofetch on my linux machine takes 0.3 seconds to run but cfetch takes >0.01 seconds to run, sometimes it doesn't show. In practice you probably wont notice it, but MINIMALISM

Here you can find the repo if you want to use it. The jist of it is that you configure the source code like you would dwm, or st and then you have a very fast and light fetch program. For the ascii it takes a file called conf found in $HOME/.config/cfetch/ so you can easily change the ascii output. The repo has two ascii files one for gentoo and one for openbsd by default, check it out, critisize it do whatever.

What distro(s) do you use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] africavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I mainly use Gentoo as my linux distro and OpenBSD on any ThinkPad I have, I have used void a lot in the past and I would still use it to this day

Just glanced over it for 10 mins, i'm probably going to look over this more, it's bookmarked, thank you.

Thank you, I'll have a look around.

What are some good online resources for learning C? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have a fundamental knowledge of C and I am wanting to get better at understanding C. here is an example of what I'm looking for. I write random programs to try and challenge my self with help from the man pages, for example i'm trying to create my own Linux shell right now, but I feel as i'm just using functions and not understanding what's happening when I use them, the article that I linked helped me understand what was going on with scanf and fgets more, and I'm looking for similar articles.

I want to create a fully free open source computer that is modular, modern and minimal? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] africavoid@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I don't know if this will really clarify things but i'm looking for as much freedom as a librebooted x200 thinkpad with parabola or something as the OS, and thanks for the site I forgot about pine64 I was looking at their phones a couple of years ago

Thank you, and by the processor not being open source do you mean the design or the code running on it? sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm new to this just coming off a coreboot thinkpad lol

Basically I want to have a computer to experiment with that is 100% free and open source and that doesn't break the bank. My current idea is to use a RISCV board like the mango pi and use FreeBSD on it. I only use terminal applications expect for the browser so I'm not too worried about performance. But also I have never done anything like this before, this is really just to mess around and learn. But I'm looking for some advice what are the best RISCV boards and is it even worth it? Plus is it even possible to build a 100% free and open source computer with a RISCV board? I am currently doing research into this and this is part of my research lol, thank you.
