Time to try once again to get full upstream everything (u-boot, Linux, network
control plane) running on my QNAP QSW-M408S switch.
Last time around I gave up after failing to get the NAND controller / NAND
drivers to cooperate. Maybe I'll have the motivation to get further this time,
and maybe u-boot has fixed my issues since (though the Git history doesn't seem
promising...).

If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are
finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags
as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill
your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once
you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been
for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter

Pierre Bourdon<p>Add Nim to the list of languages whose community and leadership
are openly sexist and racist. Was wondering when D would stop being alone on
that list...</p><p><a href="https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10312" rel="nofollow

endrift<p>If you're on Mastodon.social, I highly recommend migrating before
Facebook's ActivityPub integration launches. Increasingly many instances
will begin defederating with m.s when they don't defederate with Facebook,
which seems to be their stated intent when it comes to Facebook.</p>
Matteo Panella<p><span class="h-card"><a
href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne" class="u-url
mention">@<span>ariadne</span></a></span> There's a big big elephant in the
room nobody (especially Red Hat) is talking about: a lot of public research
institutions run EL derivatives, licensing costs for RHEL would be higher than
their IT budget (sometimes even higher than their *entire* budget) and
essentially gobble up public funds that would be better spent for actual
research.</p><p>Previously I worked in such an institution: we had ~1500
dual-socket physical systems and ~3000 virtual machines in one datacenter alone,
all running CentOS or Scientific Linux. One day, Red Hat asked to meet us and
tried to sell RHEL with the usual bullshit about CentOS/SL being essentially
"stolen work", when we asked if they had discounted licenses for
non-profit research institutions they replied with the publicly listed prices
for RHEL. Given our numbers, that would have put yearly operating costs in the
range of tens of millions of euros just to bless our machines with a
license.</p><p>We laughed hard and told them they were wasting their time if
they thought we'd give them that much money for basically nothing in return
("no, we don't support that" was their recurring answer when we
told them what kind of workload was running on those systems).</p>
C3 Boltcutter Operation Center<p>I have previously alluded I have a reason to
consider "just talking to the CCC" a waste of everybody's time compared to
pseudo-guerilla actions like this one, and that I generally don't hold the CCC
as an institution in high regard</p><p>I will now share a story from Hacking in
Parallel, a little hacker event that took place in Berlin last year, that was
both advertised on events.ccc.de and streamed on media.ccc.de, but the CCC will
claim was not their own.</p>
Sedat Kapanoglu<p>devs: "hey, please do not comment 'any updates?' to issues. we
know. we're working on it. yes, even if there are no comments. it could take
years, yes. you're disrupting our work with those comments"</p><p>meanwhile:</p>
Hector Martin<p>This Red Hat stuff is giving me serious grsecurity vibes...</p>

assets from their store, text or imagery, unless you can prove you have licensed
all the works in the dataset used to train your AI. nice.</p>

Asahi Linux<p>If you are getting pacman errors fetching the `community` repo,
please comment out the `[community]` section in `pacman.conf`!</p><p>This repo
was deprecated in upstream Arch Linux, and it was supposed to be replaced with
an empty repo to ease the transition and avoid breaking users. Unfortunately, it
seems that Arch Linux ARM didn't get that memo and deleted it entirely, so
you'll have to manually remove it from your config to continue using
pacman.</p><p>As this issue relates to the Arch Linux ARM upstream repositories,
unfortunately there is nothing we can do on the Asahi side to ease the pain.
Sorry for the trouble.</p>

Janne Grunau<p>We found the next broken on X11 feature affecting <span
class="h-card"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@AsahiLinux"
class="u-url mention">@<span>AsahiLinux</span></a></span><br />Sasha wrote a
tiny touchbar daemon which displays F1 to F12 and translates touch events into
“virtual” keys. This works as minimal viable touchbar implementation on the m1
and m2 13” macbook pro.<br />However Xorg’s input doesn’t combine modifier keys
from the keyboard with function keys from the touchbar. Ctrl + Alt + F3 doesn’t
work.<br />Works as expected under wayland with gdm, gnome and plasma. <br
/>Probably a tiny minority of our user base but 🤷♀️</p>
Asahi Linux<p>Tip: If you want to persistently set your battery charge threshold
to 80% with the latest kernel, try this:</p><pre><code>echo
'SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", KERNEL=="macsmc-battery",
ATTR{charge_control_end_threshold}="80"' | sudo tee
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-battery.rules<br></code></pre><p>Reboot and you should see
the threshold automatically set to 80%! This will work no matter what your
desktop environment is, and does not need any extra packages or
tools.</p><p>Remember that you need 13.0 system firmware or newer for this to
work, so update your macOS if needed!</p>
Hector Martin<p>On a complete coincidence, I stumbled upon a HN thread about a
blog post I wrote back in 2013, and was curious about how the quality of the
discussion had changed since then.</p><p>I can confirm it's gotten worse. 10
years ago, on a thread about cryptography, you could actually find a couple
people who actually knew what they were talking about, among the sea of people
being confidently wrong.</p><p>Today, I guarantee pretty much ~everyone in a
subtle HN cryptography thread would be confidently wrong.</p>
