  • I remember in 1989, when we fled/immigrated from Poland to Germany as Spätaussiedler, we moved to Franconia which is in Bavaria. There were US military bases in every small city even those where there were effectively only 50k Germans lil5jving, they all had a US military base.

    One of my middle school class mates was later dating one of the US soldiers and married him moved to the US and got a child only for her husband to be deployed to Irak and be killed there…

    Anyway, slowly they were reducing the number of military bases after the Berlin wall fell and we stopped seeing US military constantly driving humvies and tanks through the villages we lived in.

    Them reducing even more is a natural progression, after 80 years of occupation it really is time to go.



  • I know what you mean, at work right now when you run Linux they don’t give you support but they also don’t enforce any of the bullshit but skill give you VPN access to the work resources.

    On win and Mac they dust disabled USB storage access and there is a to other bullshit going in TN the name of security while everyone uploads their code to openai or anthropic because they’re pushing for it

    So now I am hidden from IT, when those Sanitized Linux ditros start showing up they will build in the same bullshit as they have from win and Mac now and then I’m fucked, because they will force me to use them













  • We do it in several ‘stages’, we have a check pipeline to just compile a single component and run the unit tests, that takes perhaps 5 minutes.

    Then we build a incremental AOSP build with the change on top. That takes about 40 minutes.

    Then we run the incremental build together with all the other changes for the Das and Do a manual smoke test that the most important stuff works and when it does only then we merge all those changes from the previous day. That takes about two to three hours.

    Then there is the nightly test where we build the latest main branch and do static code analysis. That takes forever like 4 hours or so.

    Then there are release builds from scratch which also run all the google compliance tests for AOSP and those things run practically for more than a day.

    It’s a interesting test of your personal patiance :D. But I don’t think it’s possible to do it with GitHub Actions, we use zuul for it like BMW and Volvo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8rofKRen3w
