I suspect there's a pretty high chance of alcohol poisoning with this method, but at least it's guaranteed to get you smashed https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2003/2003.12444.pdf

It's actually called ÜFI. The UEFI spelling is just to be ASCII compatible

I wonder if having Tweag onboard is an indication of more #nixos/#haskell material to come?

SMS just works out of the box on the #Librem5 running #postmarketOS

Size for manual measurement, there may be a 0 to 2 cm error, belongs to the normal phenomenon.

Only 30 years after it was released and finally I realise that the spoken phrase at the start of "Street Tuff" by Double Trouble ft Rebel MC is not "Danny Sutton" but "Tell me something"

This changes everything

This is a minimal circuit to get an ATMega328 running solo, without the Arduino board and USB stuff

If you leave out the 16MHz crystal and use the onboard 8MHz clock, you can bring down the power consumption even more, but at lower speed, obviously

The thing to keep in mind that the Arduino pins and the ATMega chip pins aren't the same. There's some mapping translation involved if you're using the Arduino IDE to program one

#HardwareHacking

This is my yearly Arch Wiki appreciation post. What an incredible source of information

Turns out the reason I can't ssh into my new VPS from the office is not any of {"because it's down", "because it's firewalled", "because there are weird DNS problems"} but "because I was spelling the hostname wrong".

There is some level of irony here: https://mastodon.social/@telent/100013088526728986

Anyone else seeing #chromium won't start in #nixos Wayland (gnome)? Xwayland is running but chromium says can't open display.

TBF now Firefox has containers there's not much point in keeping chromium around just to separate work & personal environments. But it'd be nice to know whats wrong with it, it used to work

"Most Linux systems" seems like quite s strong claim: the vast majority don't even run pppd, and of those that do, surely they run it only on the network interface corresponding to their uplink port? Are there use cases for running pppd on an Internet-accesible interface?

If you can see this, I moved hosting for terse.telent.net from Bytemark to Mythic Beasts. This is the first of several services that need migrating from my old VM to my new one.

(The zeroth was DNS: now instead of using Bytemark's content dns I am running an actual DNS server with actual zone files, and I cannot tell you how much more pleasant it is for setting up AAAA records than futzing with tinydns format files was)

how can it be this much work to get a tindydns data file converted into a standard zone file?

Feeling quite pleased with myself, I have decoded enough of the protocol of my wireless thermostat to be able to validate the frame checksum

What the bits actually mean, I don't yet know. But at least they're probably the right bits

Lately I have been learning about SDR with the intention of spoofing my wireless thermostat (Delta Dore Tybox 33, X2D, if anyone has ideas)

https://github.com/telent/luaradio/blob/x2d/finding-dore.lua

I got a DHT22 to replace the DHT11 in my temperature logging thing. It doesn't like me putting the ESP into deep sleep mode: the workaround is to power it from a GPIO so that I can turn it off before entering sleep and turn it back on when I need it. But - when running off 3xAA NiMH, I only get 2.8v from the GPIO pin which is not enough to run the sensor in the first place. Sigh.

Also, don't use GPIO2 on a "Witty Cloud" ESP12F board, it's the tiny blue LED. The DHT11 didn't mind sharing but the DHT22 just won't work when wired to it

While upgrading to #Firefox 72 I accidentally reverted from #wayland native firefox to X11 firefox, which means that (because I have a hidpi screen and non-integer scaling) all my fonts are fuzzy. Just switched back and found that I now have kinetic/inertial scrolling too.

Which would be nice, except it takes way too long to slow down after I take my fingers off the touchpad, and the zillion and one things I can tune in about:config don't appear to include #kinetic scrolling friction

Who'd have thought that commenting my #c64 assembly code would lead to me getting a song stuck in my head?

I have only myself to blame.
