kelvie,

So I don’t get it, I have my entire boot image in a signed EFI binary, the logo is in there as well. I don’t think I’m susceptible to this, right? I don’t think systemd-boot or the kernel reads an unsigned logo file anywhere. (Using secure boot)

kelvie,

That’s… Stored in the EFI partition or changeable in userspace?

kelvie,

Right, I know EFI images are stored in the EFI partition, but with secure boot, only signed images can be executed, so they’d need to steal someone’s signing key to do this.

kelvie,

An opposing viewpoint here, from a couple of rice snobs – I’ve spent 30+ years (my entire life) with a rice cooker so I’ve never questioned not owning one.

Ours broke (the gasket did, after 10 years), and the company that made it no longer exists (Sanyo), so we tried just cooking rice on the stovetop for a year before we bought a new one. It’s now been 2 years without a rice cooker, and we don’t plan on buying one of those fancy Korean ones I’ve been eyeing.

We found the rice tastes better (a bit of burning at the bottom adds flavour), and we don’t need another appliance taking up space. The only thing I miss is the keep warm functionality, but now we just freeze the leftover rice and microwave it (or make fried rice with it).

And now we have more counter and cupboard space to buy other gadgets, as we’re cooking enthusiasts.

For large amounts of rice we luckily have a pressure cooker.

You didn’t have to tweak PIPEWIRE_LATENCY or adjust the latency in guitarix? In my setup the latency isn’t great out of the box.

kelvie,

So if they match mine, do I still get a tax receipt for the CRA?

kelvie,

I’ve used Linux for over two decades (red hat to Gentoo to Ubuntu to arch) and I must say it’ll be a tough sell to get me back to an RPM or a debian based distro solely due to how god awfully slow the package managers (dpkg and rpm) are.

Since Docker came along and brought with it the ride of Alpine and APK, it made me realize that system upgrades on a modern processor, fast internet, and an SSD should take seconds, not minutes.

kelvie,

My partner has always commented that she wanted basically a dashcam but for while walking the dog, so this seems to fit the bill.

To basically catch e.g. if a cyclist hits you or something.

kelvie,

I imagine most Labradors will never experience fullness.

kelvie,

The bit of acid sourdough has makes it last a lot longer before molding, for one (without any other preservatives, which most store breads use).

But generally speaking, the longer and more complex fermentation of a sourdough starter (which is a bunch of different yeasts and bacterias, compared to mostly just commercial yeast in regular bread) creates a lot more by-products which then create more flavour. Which is something people like.

kelvie,

A lot of people thought this was the case for VMs and docker as well, and now it seems to be the norm.

kelvie,

Surprised I don’t see this one, but slave trade chocolate (which unfortunately is most chocolate).

There are some lists out there, but we try to avoid all chocolate unless we are sure it isn’t harvested with slave labour, even partially.

FOSS keyboard under active development? (Android)

I have been looking all day for a FOSS keyboard that’s under active development. It seems like more of not all of the ones I’ve seen recommended haven’t been updated in over a year some three years. I don’t mind if it’s a long time between updates but I want to know bugs will be fixed eventually.

kelvie,

I was really confused at first (new to this community), but they seem to be asking about a FOSS mobile keyboard for Android.

kelvie,

There is no amount of money you could pay me to get used to Windows Updates.

kelvie,

I don’t know why but out of all of the alternatives I found Alexa by far the easiest to say (sorry to all the people named Alexa out there). Okay google, hey Siri, Bixby, Cortana are just hard to pronounce.

kelvie,

I managed to use vulkan on nvidia on Arch, but needed to use Proton Experimental.

My 8bitdo gamepad shows up as two gamepads though with the same input :(

kelvie,

I tried blacklisting it, and that makes it no longer work in gamepad-tester (on html5), and still exhibits the same problem. I think this is just steam input being weird with this particular controller.

kelvie,

People said this about Linux before the steam deck and well, here we are.

kelvie,

I mean going from Unilever to CeraVe which is owned by Nestle might be a sideways move at best.

kelvie,

I’ve worked with both s76 and framework’s support and they’ve been great. Community support for framework is also especially good (for Linux)

kelvie,

Hibernate is it’s own challenge in Linux right now as lockdown mode doesn’t work with hibernate (and I think a lot of distros use lockdown mode by default for security). I had to patch the kernel to enable this: gist.github.com/…/917d456cb572325aae8e3bd94a9c135…

Gaming laptop or handheld PC?

I recently posted about finding time to game as a parent and the community has provided a bunch of good suggestions. Thank you! After reading all comments, I think it really boils down to accessibility of gaming for the occasional moments of free time that I do have in my busy schedule. The ability to pick something up easily,...

kelvie,

Another alternative is you can get one of those phone controllers, and stream from your desktop PC using moonlight (client) and sunshine (server).

If your home internet has okay latency it works for a lot of controller-centric games just fine.

kelvie,

But the problem is that this is what it costs for a search that doesn’t sell your data or advertise to you. Search is expensive.

Fortunately you do get into the habit of just searching sites directly, like wikipedia, MDN, archwiki, etc., rather than using up your general purpose searches.

It’s this, or sell your data to Google for free searches.

And maybe you’re right. Maybe it’s just not sustainable for searched to be paid, but Kagi is really transparent about their pricing. It’s just expensive unless it’s subsidized by ads or data collection.

kelvie,

Depending on what you’re using it for. For companies it feels like the tide is shifting toward using k8s and not caring what actually runs your containers.

kelvie,

Hah. What prompted this post was I actually just discovered ventoy and was looking for more images to put on there.

It seems like it can even do a Windows one for when I need to do odd 3rd party firmware update that of course doesn’t support Linux.

kelvie,

Also, the Simpsons did it.

kelvie,

I mean it has longhorn and NFS storage providers, k8s would just be for the services cause it’s easy to deploy and manage.

kelvie,

Yeah as long as the URL has some unguessable hash I’d be okay with this, I’ll look into this.

kelvie,

I wonder if there’s a federated solution for this, which means that you just need a techie friend who can self host this for you

kelvie,

Whoa, unexpected Alan Johnson.

The Diablo clickbait is unreal, is the enshitification of the internet reaching the gaming communities now? (kbin.social)

Does everyone just think they can make a living playing games? Trying to search for Diablo 4 info gets you nothing but mountains of useless clickbait youtube videos. Gotta waste my time jumping thru the video just to find out the guy is dumber about the game than I am....

kelvie,

It really is though. Remember back when we just had gamefaqs guides? Or actual game wikis that weren’t plastered with ads?

It’s especially apparent in the japanese gamersphere. There used to be great (grassroots) wikis for basically every Japanese game, now they’re all run by e.g. game8 and their clones.
