214: Big Endian, Big Problems | Linux Out Loud 116

About this episode

The episode discusses robotics competitions and the Endianness debate in the RISC-V community, along with various tech tips and stories.

This week on Linux Out Loud, we're plugging into the source! We kick things off with a look at the wild world of robotics competitions, from the destructive Norwalk Havoc Robot League to updates on our local FLL and FTC teams. Then, we dive into a heated discussion on the great Endianness debate shaking up the RISC-V community and what the 90-10 rule means for kernel support. Plus, we've got updates on a retro 3D printing project, a pro tip for backing up your SSH keys, and a horror story about Nate's poor Commodore 64x.
