@doboprobodyne is openbsd generally the one to run on a laptop?
and like, how do you find it as far as 'all the devices i wanted more or less work' factor?
i have a thinkpad carbon x1 here that was running linux but maybe would be cool with bsd?
Sadly my daily driver is still Linux due to wanting a couple of programs that aren't yet on #openbsd. Also because I want to follow novice tutorials for some things and having a very widely-used flavour of linux makes it much easier for me. Most of what I use for work can be accessed via a browser though, and I believe in learning by doing, so I will try to migrate to or towards #openbsd when I get time.
I'd say try it on an old thinkpad and see how it feels!
The latest fwupd 1.9.20 firmware update daemon fixes bugs, adds more hardware support, and enhances security for firmware updates. https://linuxiac.com/fwupd-1-9-20-released/
There is an inconsistency on Turkish ISO layout between Windows and MAC, on Grave and NONUS_BACKSLASH keys. For QMK, I had to overwrite and flip them with existence checking of my MAC layer, where I flip GUI and ALT keys.
This both happens on QMK and @ZMK on multiple boards. On ZMK, closest thing I found to achieve this is conditional layers, where I re-define almost every key.
I hate this approach, but couldn't find a better way😔
Jobs where I almost regret already being happily employed :-D
#Framework is hiring an #OpenSource & #Firmware developer! That sounds great, both for the person applying as well as for the community. While their hardware is awesome, there's still something left to be desired in terms of firmware (e.g. out of date ME etc.)
AMD Working To Release MES Documentation & Source Code
"[..], AMD now says they will be releasing documentation followed by the source code for their Micro-Engine Scheduler (MES) IP block found within Radeon GPUs."
Google has introduced Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASan) to enhance the security of Android firmware. KASan is designed to detect memory corruption vulnerabilities and stability issues before they affect user devices. It works by monitoring memory access operations to ensure they only target valid regions, identified in a shadow memory area. This tool has already helped identify and fix over 40 memory safety bugs in Android firmware. KASan is particularly useful for bare-metal targets, requiring specific compiler options and strategies to implement effectively. It's part of Google's efforts to address the security challenges posed by the vast number of Android devices and the fragmented ecosystem that makes vulnerability patching difficult.
Parlando di #emulatori non morti, forse saprete che ne esistono tipo solo 2 che emulano il #NintendoDSi (oltre alla versione base del #NDS), e #melonDS è quello che funziona meglio. 💫️
Mi sta essendo utile l’ #emulazione#DSiWare per controllare cose e catturare schermate sulla #FotocameraDSi senza dover per forza usare la #console reale, per quell’articolo che sto finendo*. Però, per quello non mi serve davvero scattare foto, e quindi mi è stata comoda la funzione per impostare come flusso della camera immagini salvate sul PC (Config > Camera Settings > Image file), che avevo generato al volo con Bing AI per averne della tipologia che mi serviva e con un’aspetto un po’ stock, dimostrative appunto. 🎁️
Preparate il #firmware DSi (che vi consiglio di scaricare da qui, è il dump che uso io e confermo che funziona) da dare all’emulatore, creando due cartelle separate per i file DS e #DSi, e rinominando i file in modo preciso, altrimenti la #app si lamenta:
biosdsi7.bin => dsi/bios7.bin
biosdsi9.bin => dsi/bios9.bin
biosnds7.bin => nds/bios7.bin
biosnds9.bin => nds/bios9.bin
dsfirmware.bin => nds/firmware.bin
dsifirmware.bin => dsi/firmware.bin
dsinand.bin => dsi/nand.bin
Fate “Boot firmware > DSi”, da lì si può avviare la magica #applicazione fotografica, date il permesso quando richiesto, e se tutto va bene potete godere. ❤️🔥️
*(Sto facendo progressi per l’articolone, ma troppo lentamente, nonostante io abbia scritto ben settemila parole vedo che mi mancano ancora troppe cose… la mente è pazza, questa situazione è assurda. 😵💫️)
