Testing Linux 6.19.0 On A Raspberry Pi 4.

I compiled and built the new, Linux kernel 6.19.0, on a dedicated Raspberry Pi, which was delegated for the job, to use on other Raspberry Pis, using these instructions. and it took a little over one hour. The last kernel, tested was kernel 6.18.9, which was stable but it seemed to use much more memory and seemed much more CPU intensive than the, now latest kernel in the Raspberry Pi OS, repository, which at the time of this article, is currently kernel 6.12.62.

Building kernels for some people, is considered fun, however, what must be admitted is that in this matter, leaping without looking was our initial method here, since we haven't yet familiarized ourselves with the potential kernel benchmark tools to make any real scientific declarations on our findings.

This should have been obvious to us at the onset, but as stated, we jumped before leaping. Therefore, much of our declarations here, will be akin to opinions based on emotions rather than scientific methods. We'll work on becoming proficient with Linux kernel benchmark software so that we can become better at the scientific method.

That being said, this kernel 6.19.0, seems to be stingy with memory and CPU resources. It's early yet, but I think I like it a lot. I won't getting too attached however, since this version, the 6.19.y, will not be a long term support kernel but I couldn't resist testing it out.

Now I followed the instructions, almost to the letter, but I skipped a few steps. Namely, I didn't bother to copy over the dtbs, which for those who don't know are the device tree binaries, nor the overlays either. I took the chance that the old ones, installed with the kernel 6.12.y, would work. I didn't want to unnecessarily complicate the test or confuse myself when the time came to revert to the officially supported kernel version in the Raspberry Pi's repository.

I also didn't overwrite my old kernel with the new one either. I just named the new kernel mycustomkernel.img or something like it and made an edit in the config.txt file, located in the boot, firmware directory and that worked well. While I may have omitted the steps I mentioned, I did include one step not in the official instructions, of make -j6 Image.gz modules dtbs, by adding bindeb-pkg to the list. Which included three Debian, deb archive files, of which I extracted the modules, and headers from.

I didn't install the deb packages since that could, provide another layer of complexity. It is just easier to extract the archives using the GNU ar tool, then tar and place the modules and their respective directories. That way, when one has finished playing and testing, one can just remove them with little or no side effects.

Kernel 6.19.0 runs well on the Raspberry Pi. Everything seems to be working correctly. Video is working, audio WiFi, Bluetooth and so far as one can see, the transition has been seamless. As stated earlier, no real scientific bench marking has been done since we were premature in our testing and mainly motivated by enthusiasm. We will do better in that department in the future and preface to say that our findings are purely based on user experience and emotion.

Thanks again to @Bernard@ravergram.club for his insightful post.

Liberals pretend not to know what the definition of women are, especially when it suits them. However, they left wing crowd doesn't have a monopoly on hypocrisy at all. They have always had company in this regard but that side has always pretended that the US Constitution, Trumps all.

This observation isn't lost on many, when they notice that the US, a nation that pretends to stand for freedom, “democracy,” fairness and the rule of law, seem to have no conflict in waging an unprovoked war on a nation whose policies it pretends not to like. Did I just use the word war? Forgive me, for it seems that the proponents of this military action, are suddenly unable to comprehend what the word war means.

This amnesia isn't dissimilar to liberal politicians, pundits and judicial members, who claim that they are incapable of defining what women are. All of a sudden, the alleged right wing in the US, seem to have themselves, caught the plague, since they now are unable to define whether murdering fishermen on the high seas, bombing infrastructure in a nation at peace and kidnapping that said nation's lawfully elected leader along with his wife, as acts of war.

Congress seems to be selective in carrying out its responsibilities and now seems content to defer to the Executive branch, waging war without any declaration by the legislature. So much for the US Constitution being the law of the land.

The so called “rules based order,” is a sham. It obviously only applies to nations which aren't the US and or Israel. However, we're not permitted to notice and or mention this obvious fact. Freedom is only achievable by the force of superior arms against tyrants and only organized, overwhelming, fucking violence will keep said freedoms and also, keep the peace. The US and the entire world are pretenders and liars. None of what we see or hear means what the rhetoric implies.

The USA Has A Long History Of Interference In Venezuela.

Bien avant d’enlever Nicolás Maduro, les États-Unis et leurs alliés ont étranglé l’économie vénézuélienne par un blocus financier et pétrolier. Ces sanctions ont aggravé la crise, nourri l’exode et renforcé la paranoïa du régime.

How Empires Fall.

It seems that the US deep state and hubris, is what has finally killed the US. In the history of the US’s relation with Latin America, what just happened in Venezuela is hardly unique.

In the slightly less than a hundred years from 1898 to 1994, the U.S. government has intervened successfully to change governments in Latin America a total of at least 41 times, with direct intervention occurring in 17 of the 41 cases.

What is unprecedented however is the brazenness, the unabashedly predatory nature of the intervention.
