Thank you for working on this. The most impressive part for me is getting Kubernetes running on such low spec hardware. I can't think of a use case I have for Kube32 at the moment, but I do have use cases for Kubernetes running on a small amount of RAM. Is there any chance of porting this back to x86/x86-64 PCs or ARM SBCs? For example, being able to run this on a cluster of Raspberry Pis would be interesting as it would free up more RAM for applications.

No it's not. For starters the recently released softmod does not work on all Xbox 360 revisions.

"When a game is running, the CPU needs access to a graphic card’s memory, and by default it can only access 256MB at a time. However, resizable BAR removes the size limitation so the CPU has access to all of a GPU’s memory, theoretically allowing for improved performance. This adjustment lets the CPU request much larger chunks of data from the GPU, which can improve performance in games that can benefit from this change."

Contributing may be easier, but stopping the project becoming a harder-to-debug mess is more of a priority.

No, the "postmarketOS" name came about to indicate that it's an OS to keep older devices working for longer (i.e. providing active support after the support from the manufacturer has ended).

> Biomass is zero carbon.

Not correct. Biomass includes burning wood from new growth forests. If the trees were kept in the ground they would be carbon sinks rather than carbon stores, therefore the overall effect is an increase in emissions. Furthermore, there's energy expended in prepping the wood (e.g. turning the trees into wood pellets ready to burn) and in transporting the wood to the biomass power station.

Why is this on the HN front page? Is there something particularly noteworthy about this release?

> but I won't be able to re-play the excellent version that I played through last year

Why not? The future of game preservation for games not distributed on disc is probably going to be based around hard disk images, with some kind of overlay filesystem mechanism to allow choosing between different games without relying on standard installations. Will it be legal? Probably not. Will it happen? I suspect it will.

> Do you think the Egyptians called it Europe?

You haven't given any dates, but if you're talking about ancient Egypt, i.e. the Egypt before 0AD, then yes. The term "Europa" was used to refer to the continent around this time by the Greeks, and I don't see why Egyptian people wouldn't have picked up on a useful term they didn't have before.

> at the time that you fervently hope the EU comes to its (clearly deserved, Mr Putin) end

I find it funny you think the only reason people would want the end of the EU is if they're a Russian agent. The EU has very little to do with defence. Perhaps your argument would hold more weight if talking about NATO, but even then it's not necessary for countries to be members of NATO in order to collaborate on protection when their collective security interests align.

> Europe hasn't always existed as a concept, and its longevity is unknown.

Europe is the name of a continent. What reason(s) would there be to change the name of a continent?

In contrast, the EU is a trading block, set up to foster greater pan-European trading relations. It's not the only pan-European institution. For example, the Council of Europe ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Europe ) is a separate pan-European institution, set up in 1946 which was before the EU or any of the predecessors of the EU, and amongst other projects was behind the formation of the European Court of Human Rights. I bring this up to highlight that we do not need the EU in order to have collaboration between European countries.

> In Europe people generally use “Europe” and the EU interchangeably.

In Europe some people generally and incorrectly use "Europe" and the EU interchangeably. Europe existed far before the EU and will continue to exist after the EU finally comes to an end.

Who told you these are jobs you can't equally share with a partner?
