setfont doesn't like the 12x25 sunfont, but does accept topaz, so

one kbd build that clears out the @, then uses some random user-space memory as parts of the font, and

i have finally met the mythical beast

 Wed Sep 02 21:18:29 +0000 2020

he is incomprehensibly large, and by that i mean that im physically unable to understand how massive he is; a cat so large and powerful cannot ideologically coexist with an average-sized cat as soon as i stop touching him

 Wed Sep 02 21:20:50 +0000 2020

behold: an apex predator :)

 Wed Sep 02 21:27:20 +0000 2020

Bazyl, unto whom we are as he is unto god, as compared to father, who is not a small man by any means (left) and a fox terrier (right)

 Wed Sep 02 21:32:36 +0000 2020

symbiosis, babey – he usually sleeps in a house and we are rewarded with a frankly outstanding volume of cat to be friends with

you can't make зефир without breaking a whisk, apparently

well this blows

like most problems in life, nothing that can't be solved with some rope

hehe, I'm in danger

 Fri Sep 04 17:07:23 +0000 2020

/home is still R/W, but the last time I backed up the rootfs on this machine was never, so that's good

 Fri Sep 04 17:09:12 +0000 2020

fun!

 Fri Sep 04 17:28:23 +0000 2020

apt install --reinstall libuuid and debianutils and let's hope that's good enough

i was dealing with alpine exclusively for a long time and i forgot how not-absolute-dogshit package managers can be tbh

 Fri Sep 04 17:31:17 +0000 2020

a pattern?

 Sat Sep 05 01:26:31 +0000 2020

off by one-int's-length???? in *my* venerable code-base? no way!

 Sat Sep 05 22:58:13 +0000 2020

testing the kernel module consists of editing fs/cifs/, bind-mounted into a sid chroot, letting dpkg-bp rip until it makes cifs.ko, copying to the test machine, inserting, mounting, and it's so brain-wiltingly slow

and yet building Samba sounds like a bigger pain in the arse

 Sat Sep 05 23:15:13 +0000 2020

i wish i knew more than the absolute baseline amount of latin, so just imagine i wrote something that sounds cool about how he is king of the universe and you can kiss him here

 Tue Sep 08 20:53:30 +0000 2020

this is my first write interaxion with bugzilla and i already hate it with a passion, wildly more so than just reading https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14484

 Tue Sep 08 21:14:30 +0000 2020

Pi 0W not coming up, wonder why

zoot

restored from backup image and it comes up, but i trust this µSD card as far as I can spit it

 Wed Sep 09 17:50:16 +0000 2020

zfs-initramfs is in such a sorry state (in the stable branch, at least), it's a fucking nightmare to work around; also: this gem

 Thu Sep 10 00:51:54 +0000 2020

im logging off https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10908

all the cool flowers are unpiratable, sux

 Thu Sep 10 19:22:58 +0000 2020

(which is to say I am asking for advice on how to pirate it that because I would like one)

 Thu Sep 10 19:32:52 +0000 2020

a swede is telling me i can just break off a red bit and stuff that in some dirt and it'll work; I refer the dear reader to the start of the tweet for how much i trust that

 Thu Sep 10 20:27:04 +0000 2020

it is with perverse joy that i say that this is a Designated Luggage-Only Area and I am in it

god i love writing

 Fri Sep 11 11:29:29 +0000 2020

i can do anything short of calling my mans a math major and get away with it, it's great

 Fri Sep 11 11:32:05 +0000 2020

I haven't yet done the deed, but I'll definitely scour the ground for any droppings when I do, thanks!

 Fri Sep 11 12:34:24 +0000 2020

please, my layout, she is very sick

 Sat Sep 12 23:08:28 +0000 2020

i would like to apologise to the citizens of openzfs, because i sinned on the bugtracker again https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/10923

 Sun Sep 13 00:08:29 +0000 2020

no matter what I write about, somehow i end up typing "reportbug systemd" each time? https://bugs.debian.org/970213

all in the reviewers' hands now

005. Low-curse ZFS-on-root for new Debian installations on multi-disk systems: https://nabijaczleweli.xyz/content/blogn_t/005-low-curse-zfs-on-root.html

should also easily extend to single-disk and/or temporary external storage with just a bit more curse, but that's mostly beside the point

on one hand, i really like how the transition turned out; on the other, this is terminally bloody stupid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibRgfSL-o-0

 Tue Sep 15 20:39:07 +0000 2020

mm, yes

a quality rEFInd experience

 Tue Sep 15 23:26:25 +0000 2020

two identical marketing mails titled "Re;PCB&PCBA manufacturer" sent three days apart, the website is copyrighted 2007 and has a fast scrolly of tiny images and two(!) flash widgets; what is happening? when am I?

 Wed Sep 16 01:47:49 +0000 2020

fell asleep thinking about bootloaders, woke up thinking about bootloaders; turns out my ideal bootloader is actually just a compiler, and I am as shocked as anyone

in other news, I'm now writing a bootloader; or, well, very intently not doing so by writing a compiler instead

 Wed Sep 16 08:13:00 +0000 2020

first 54k error of the day; god I've missed C++

 Wed Sep 16 10:55:19 +0000 2020

more, uhhh, I wanna say disk platters? ceramic base, coated with something presumably ferrous on the left and ??? on the right?

 Wed Sep 16 20:17:44 +0000 2020

What an absolute beast; just look at the main SB82558B (Intel PRO/100 S i think?) 208-pin QFP dated 1996; massive, separate isolation transformer with the multi-millimeter gap it's across and unpopulated OpROM(?) socket; we just don't *do* things like this anymore! (thankfully)

 Thu Sep 17 10:49:18 +0000 2020

status:

 Thu Sep 17 15:06:30 +0000 2020

straightened a few pins on the QFP, plugged 'er in, no dice; shit

 Thu Sep 17 16:19:17 +0000 2020

lets fucking go, babeyy; i have to report a bug now apparently, but yee, and i cannot stretch this enough, haw

 Thu Sep 17 16:22:38 +0000 2020

everything is cool and good; only a single e100 removal and reinsert was required to get the card into working order

 Thu Sep 17 16:29:10 +0000 2020

those leds were probably last on multiple years ago, but I'm finally getting all 11.2MB/s I paid a single PLN for; what a performer!

 Thu Sep 17 16:31:33 +0000 2020

a first https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg99102.html

 Thu Sep 17 18:03:58 +0000 2020

this is good; we want this

 Fri Sep 18 01:05:12 +0000 2020

last backup is dated 27th of September 2019, first backup 21st of April 2018, so a two-year lifetime; ain't too bad tbf

 Fri Sep 18 13:08:21 +0000 2020

finally caved in and resigned myself to the fact that im writing Rust in C++

 Fri Sep 18 19:33:11 +0000 2020

who would win: (a) careful slicing of statics, or (b) readlink(3)'s godawful interface that incurs three allocations?

 Sat Sep 19 02:27:37 +0000 2020

in my infinite wisdom of writing this front-to-back I still haven't written to a single EFI variable, but I keep reimplementing std::fmt::Debug, which is a good use of everybody's time

 Sat Sep 19 10:16:33 +0000 2020

it is (checks nonexistent watch) twenty twenty and the only way to move storage out of a std::vector is still to make a char vec[sizeof(vector<uint8_t>)]; and sin

 Sat Sep 19 16:00:56 +0000 2020

libefivar is a blight upon this earth

 Sat Sep 19 16:27:00 +0000 2020

after four days of doing quite literally nothing else, it's done something. please clap

 Sat Sep 19 20:52:02 +0000 2020

now self-hosting :)

barring fucking OVMF silently eating my entries on reboot because optdata wasn't UCS-2, a generally smooth transition, unlike [insert trans gag here]

 Sun Sep 20 02:53:31 +0000 2020

neat, Xperia E4g's fastboot impl shows the USB and flash transfer time and speed (or, well, velocity? can you even upload from fastboot?), haven't seen that before

 Sun Sep 20 15:21:00 +0000 2020

 Sun Sep 20 23:19:41 +0000 2020

this is good code but i still feel dirty for some reason

 Mon Sep 21 13:13:41 +0000 2020

(1) uhh,
(2) uhhhhhhhhhhhh,
(3) uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
(cor.) I haven't posted a single line of actual C++ to my GitHub repos in literal years

today in banks: whats an escapeing

 Tue Sep 22 18:20:56 +0000 2020

oh i missed and hence left out the part that said the password can be 8-20 characters long. i've been a bank user for all of three hours now and im already angry

 Tue Sep 22 18:23:04 +0000 2020

hm, the layout is weird, but, barring the lack of suspend PgUp/PgDown positions acceptable, though note the w i d e tall enter

a tool-less flat battery I also haven't seen before in this(ish) vintage of laptop, but this is very much not a thin&light

 Tue Sep 22 20:43:57 +0000 2020

the almost-entirely-empty left sticker is weird, though, there should be FCC compliance and other bollocks on it, even if it's an EMEA SKU? or maybe this is a Fujitsu-internal build and so doesn't have it?

 Tue Sep 22 20:50:00 +0000 2020

and no i didn't mug a fujitsu employee to get this, i employed a far superiour tactic and through my cunning wit convinced a fujitsu division to give me this thing for free *and* pay me a monthly allowance for taking care of it

 Tue Sep 22 20:52:46 +0000 2020

shit, no wait im being told this is called "employment" and its perfectly normal

well, sod this bit then

 Tue Sep 22 20:53:43 +0000 2020

i was recommended this flyover by an area local, and it was mistake — how am I supposed to up-keep my Kraków™ brand Asthma if I don't walk on the highway side-walk??

 Tue Sep 22 21:05:03 +0000 2020

the deed has been done, and there were no droppings, but i managed to pull out a small one with roots hopefully-intact, so

it's been 27 days and the grass did not come up and one of the troughs got mossy. good time

yee, as they say, haw

 Wed Sep 23 19:20:03 +0000 2020

there's now a manpage and so klapki, "EFI boot manager; or, well, an EFI bootorder compiler.", though I'm not sure how much of a compiler it ended up being is now releasable to the general public, and you should be able to do useful things with it: https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/klapki

 Thu Sep 24 00:32:03 +0000 2020

ugh sourcehut's rendering sucks ass, here's an HTML that doesn't mangle the formatting: https://gistcdn.githack.com/nabijaczleweli/1530eac3992945c07a7994021873c3bf/raw/6a86aefacf9bbc5c80c6fe902d2208e11aedb578/klapki.8.html

my corporate antivirus just Saved me from the cmdow.exe included in the repository, but did nothing as i built it from source and ran it; safety first, as I'm told they say

 Fri Sep 25 10:28:28 +0000 2020

Please don't kiss the fugu, it stresses them out; we've discussed this.

 Fri Sep 25 12:31:02 +0000 2020

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyeys

 Fri Sep 25 13:40:25 +0000 2020

i get a PCMCIA card *and* a weird-looking driver CD? fuck yes

 Fri Sep 25 13:49:51 +0000 2020

socketserial dot com is now serving scams, but if I'm reading the label right this is a June 2010 produxion?

 Fri Sep 25 13:59:36 +0000 2020

the seventy-megabyte CD contains three (3) twenty-one-megabyte Adobe Reader installers ?

 Fri Sep 25 14:57:45 +0000 2020

i mean, it hardly matters anyway, but still kinda weird that 91.6% in 63.12MiB of the 68.91MiB CD consists of three copies of the same thing

 Sat Sep 26 12:02:02 +0000 2020

first successful deployment on physical hardware, ruined by the french and "👏ki"

 Sat Sep 26 13:38:45 +0000 2020

 Sat Sep 26 16:31:57 +0000 2020

you should now be able to install klapki from https://debian.nabijaczleweli.xyz on sid and have it hopefully integrate well with the usual hooks

 Sun Sep 27 10:56:58 +0000 2020

i unfortunately cannot see him but i am receiving reports that he is still large

 Sun Sep 27 11:46:35 +0000 2020

in comparison to the HP trashtop that had, uh, three? screws, was nastily tabbed everywhere and floppy as, this Toshiba R700 has *twenty four* screws, no tabs, and it's still cock-stiff, a genuine joy to take apart, quite frankly

 Sun Sep 27 16:42:11 +0000 2020

though I guess I shouldn't be surprised, seeing how we've been using this laptop going on 10 years, and the HP died under 1? the lesson would be "don't buy garbage-level HP gear", but somehow I doubt this is a shocker

 Sun Sep 27 16:45:03 +0000 2020

this shot: much harder to get with an AF compact pointed at a heavy laptop

 Sun Sep 27 16:50:52 +0000 2020

this one's acceptable ig

 Sun Sep 27 16:52:35 +0000 2020

forwarding references? argument-dependent types? overload sets? national bodies? bro, what are you talking about? let's go eat a snail

 Tue Sep 29 00:34:29 +0000 2020

owned! on the discord, but I'm considering it

 Tue Sep 29 14:06:42 +0000 2020

nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.gay is an undeniably powerful e-mail address

 Tue Sep 29 14:07:34 +0000 2020

good to be doing something for the benefit of humanity at large for once

IPMI says a hundred thirty watts over baseline; a small price to pay to potentially have to play paper mario less

 Tue Sep 29 23:23:30 +0000 2020

really makes you think

 Wed Sep 30 11:03:17 +0000 2020

a recommendation of the utmost degree

 Wed Sep 30 14:53:47 +0000 2020

i mean, the theoretical ideal would be to use an actual modem or two, but (a) i don't know where i'd even *get* modems with a serial out, and (b) i have access to exactly one phone line, and it's VoIP, which, if i recall Gravis' post right, means it wouldn't get me far anyway

 Wed Sep 30 16:37:57 +0000 2020

Me thinking about soldering: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me soldering, doing another hack-up job because im bad, cant read, and aluminium is a dogshit material: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

 Wed Sep 30 18:38:02 +0000 2020

this is classic "i started well and then it went downhill" quality which means I've burned myself twice and I'll be pleasantly surprised if i don't blow both the motherboard and the serial card
