@swetland @eniko It’s how much memory my server’s BMC has, and that runs GNU/Linux (and technically does have video output, although I’m not sure how to actually use it from the BMC)

@dee for some reason Bridgy Fed had never worked for me (the only posts bridged were boosts of bridged posts and my follow of the Bridgy Fed account was permanently stuck in a follow-requested-but-not-accepted state) but you reminded me of it and I just tried refollowing it and now it works!

I created an alt account to use as a backup in case this server dies for whatever reason: @noisytoot

If you follow me on this account you may want to also follow me there.

LibreWolf seems to have removed the easy way to exempt a site from having all its data cleared when you close it for some reason so now I have to manually add exceptions in preferences

i've been keeping this a secret for half a year, but i can finally come clean now.

i spent months editing the entire star wars movie. at first i made subtle changes (colour correction, fake shot/reverse shot scenes, etc.), but as the movie went on, my edits got more and more absurd (extra powerpoint transition wipes, doom door open/close sound effects, etc.).

i can't upload the full thing for obvious reasons, but here's one of my favourite parts: the death star scene. spoilers for a movie that came out nearly four decades ago

@maddy Semi-related tip: if you set GOAMD64 to build go packages for a certain microarchitecture level, you shouldn't set it when building the go compiler itself unless you want everything you compile with it to have GOAMD64 set to that value by default. I have GOAMD64=v3 set globally but GOAMD64=v1 for dev-lang/go for this reason (I don't want everything I compile to have GOAMD64=v3 set by default)

@maddy On x86 you can have a separate -march and -mtune. -march defines what microarchitecture to build for, so you should build for the lowest common denominator (in terms of extensions) or stuff might not work. -mtune defines what microarchitecture to optimize for, but won’t use instructions that are unavailable on the target instruction set.

I build with -march=haswell -mtune=skylake -maes -mabm to optimize for skylake (which my gentoo machine uses (actually coffee lake refresh but that’s the same microarchitecture)) but so the binaries would still be usable on haswell if I wanted to (-maes is because -march=haswell doesn’t include AES-NI because i3-4000M doesn’t have it for some reason (every other haswell i3 does), -mabm is because resolve-march-native outputted it on skylake and it seems to be present on haswell too)

If some packages built with -march=znver3 fail on raptorlake, it means it’s using some extension not present on raptorlake and you should find out which one and specifically disable it or just build with -march=x86-64-v3 -mtune=znver3.

(On other architectures it may be different. There’s 3 different flags (-march, -mtune, and -mcpu) and what they do is completely inconsistent between architectures)

@crowbriarhexe @maddy I have another Baytrail laptop/tablet thing (Toshiba Satellite Click Mini) with the same 32-bit UEFI and audio problems. I installed postmarketOS on it (the generic-x86_64 port supports 32-bit UEFI) and it’s the most broken x86_64 device I’ve used:

  • It has a 32-bit UEFI with no CSM
  • Audio only works for a few seconds before just becoming a constant buzzing sound
  • There’s apparently supposed to be a boot menu on fn+f2 but there isn’t and the UEFI configuration doesn’t seem to have any boot menu or way to control the boot order
  • With newer kernels the display is wrapped around at 1/3
  • When I close the lid the backlight turns off and I don’t know how to turn it back on (ACPI doesn’t work and intel_backlight crashes with SIGFPE)

I’m afraid of breaking my installation and not being able to recover it since there’s no boot menu and it’s booting from eMMC which I can’t just take out and mount elsewhere. I couldn’t obtain a dump of the boot firmware either since it’s on a 1.8V flash chip and I only have a 3.3V programmer.

@maddy @mir resolve-march-native from app-misc/resolve-march-native will tell you which CFLAGS -march=native is equivalent to on your CPU

@maddy @fwaggle According to https://free60.org/Hacks/Bad_Update_Hack/ it is possible. I have an Xbox 360 (that I haven't used in years), I should try it

@maddy @fwaggle I didn't know there was a software exploit to run unsigned code on the Xbox 360. Does that mean it's possible to run Linux on it without hardware mods?

@maddy Can’t you just change your username and keep the UID so permissions are unaffected? You can even have multiple usernames per UID if you want to keep the old one, I think whichever is first in /etc/passwd will be the canonical one. Some BSDs have two accounts sharing UID 0 (root and toor)

I just ate glue by the way. No i am not joking today. I love being the dev of this game and having access to this account. Now everyone gets to know I just took a big big bite out of glue. Yummyyyyy ^.^ !!! Anyway Supertux 0.7 might release probably on 3.14 day. Or 3/14 if you're american or whatever. Or 14/3. Haha Pi get it ugh I dont even care. The taste of glue is still in my mouth. If anyone knows how to thoroughly get glue out of your mouth do say. The stick glue kind btw. Its purple btw.

@gintoxicating I currently use Gandi, OVH, and Porkbun for different domains, although I’m going to transfer the domains on Gandi to Mythic Beasts and/or Porkbun (Mythic Beasts doesn’t do .xyz so I can’t transfer everything to there), because Gandi raised prices for .org a lot (and I forgot to cancel automatic renewal in time last year). OVH I need to keep for .edu.pl, there aren’t that many other options.

If I was registering a domain now I’d probably use Mythic Beasts or Porkbun, depending on the TLD.

Meanwhile in Osaka/Japan: over night, a sewer pipe rises from the underground, lifting asphalt.
Still unclear on how it came to that.
