My dad failed his 11+ so was sent to a technical school so he actually learnt how to lay a row of bricks or how to beat out lead flashing. He did end up doing a PhD in Physics but I suspect his early school years explain why he’s always been much more practical than me. My wife was a stage tech during uni so I’ll happily defer to her for joinery. I can just about solder a copper pipe or big pads on a PCB.
SystemReady is already a thing. When it becomes mandatory for design wins hopefully it will become more common place.
I wouldn’t say that, it’s just there is a lot in vendor kernels and little incentive to upstream stuff for older SoCs that have already shipped. It’s true Google has come around to the importance of not drifting too far from upstream and hopefully we are starting to see the results of that change in attitude.
As I understand it my colleges in the QC landing team @ Linaro spend a lot of time getting stuff into the various upstreams.
It really depends how you see the firmware boundary. You can either treat it as a set of magic numbers you load onto the hardware so it works or see it as an intrinsically programmable part of your system that you should be able to see the source code for or live without support for the device.
I run Circe in Emacs because it’s lightweight and integrates with the modeline for not overly distracting notifications.
If the system is SystemReady then the EFI boot chain is fairly straightforward now. My current workstation just booted off the Debian usb installer like any other pc.
It’s a web of trust. If the package maintainer is doing due diligence they should at least be aware how the upstream community runs. If it’s a one person passion project then it’s probably possible to give the changelog and diffstata once over because things don’t change that fast. Otherwise they are relying on the upstream not shipping broken stuff.
I’m not sure if that is the op or Lemmy cropping stuff. I’ve seen similar when I’ve tried to post stuff.
I tried all sorts of port forwarding tricks to get wireguard working on the VM that runs my HA instance to no avail. The trailscale solution works really well. The only real problem I had was magic DNS conflicts with DNS66 on my phone (which I use for ad blocking). In the end I just used a hardwired VPN IP for my HA connection.
I just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn’t bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.
I wonder which of the many fetch tools support 24bit terminal colours.
Slowly the hold outs are realising open source drivers are here to stay. I don’t think propriety divers are ever going to go away but now you can have a fully open stack for all the main GPU stacks out there. I suspect more designs are insisting on open drivers and Nvidia doesn’t want to be ruled out at the start.
That’s what the reflog is for!
You can launch Minecraft Bedrock with the mcpelauncher of the Steam Deck or you can use Waydroid.
Sorry I was referring to: https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Buy games from indie developers on platforms like itch.io. You may have a negative view of the other people involved in funding and marketing a triple AAA game but they all contribute and get a share of the retail price. You don’t get to pick and choose who deserves to get their slice.
This is the way 😉 although the Minecraft launcher is pretty good these days running under Waydroid is considerably less hacky as it’s not having to thunk between android and Linux userspace.
It’s interesting they’ve gone from a simple reskin to a downstream fork. I’m guessing there won’t be much of value to find though.
Why do the $20 subscription when the API pricing is much cheaper, especially if you are trying different models out. I’m currently playing about with Gemini and that’s free (albeit rate limited).
