If you're wondering what this is:

  • Add a power quirk for Framework systems


It's to do with the fact that Framework laptops report themselves as discharging when they're actually fully charged, and BIOS updates aren't allowed when discharging.

But to answer your question, I've been using it with my Framework 13 AMD, and haven't had any issues. Fwupd is officially supported by Framework themselves, and is mentioned on the BIOS upgrade guides.

Boot on LUKS drive ( Rapsberry pi 4 )


Hi,

The SBC Raspberry Pi 4 boot on an sdcard with two partition /boot and /

So I managed to encrypt the partition / with cryptsetup

Here the partition of my sd-card

deviceFILESYSLABELUUID
sdb1vfatBOOT( 9 characters )
sdb2crrypto_LUKS( 36 characters )

I've modified the /boot/cmdline.txt

to ( on one line )

console=serial0,115200
console=tty1
root=UUID=#If I try the UUID of sdb2 it fail and also the UUID when I use `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 b2open`
rootfstype=ext4
fsck.repair=yes
loglevel=5
net.ifnames=0
firmware_class.path=/lib/firmware/updates/brcm
rootwait
cryptdevice=UUID=#I dont know which one:b2open

any ideas ?

Thanks.

Depends on the distro. On arch you need to enable a few hooks, for example

Intel or AMD CPUs for new Laptops?


cross-posted from: lemmings.world/post/17468408

I am thinking of buying a relatively cheap laptop that is reasonably powerful. I am at loss when it comes to new CPU naming and its compatibility with Linux (from both Intel/AMD). I prefer Ryzen 5 or Core 5 above with atleast 16GB RAM.

Framework laptops are not available where I live.

I saw some Reddit posts claiming AMD being not optimized for Linux particularly for arch related distros (I use EndeavourOS). I am thinking of buying a Thinkbook from Lenovo, but confused b/w team blue & red.

Which of these CPUs are better for running Linux long-term with respect to optimizations, power management, thermals, track pad support etc. If anyone has a laptop recommendation, please feel free to comment down below.

Also, should I go for a high end Laptop like Asus Zenbook S14? A lot of reviews are picking it as the best compact laptop to buy this year. Its expensive. But if it keeps working for a long time, like 6+ years, then I don't mind investing.

Edit: I use Gnome as my DE with EndeavourOS, but can also try Debian 12 with Gnome.

Laptop AMD. The only place I could recommend Intel now is if your building a media server with Plex/Jellyfin. The hardware transcoding is to good.

We are fighting a common enemy in Syria: Armed groups to Israeli media


In a new sign of the link between armed militants ists in Syria and the Israeli occupation, a leader of the armed groups fighting in Syria confirmed that "Israel" and the armed groups "are united in fighting a common enemy, which is Iran."

In response to a question about "the role that Israel and the United States should play in Syria," Abu Abdo stated that the militants "expect a coordinated effort to eliminate the enemy."

He continued, "if we do not know how to seize this historic opportunity, the situation will worsen," also expressing "respect for Israel and the United States, and solidarity with their actions against Iran."

A lot of people are very confused about Syria.

I hope this helps clear things up.



PACE recognises Julian Assange as a ā€˜political prisoner’ and warns against the chilling effect of his harsh treatment


The Assembly – which brings together parliamentarians from the 46 nations of the Council of Europe – also called on the US to investigate the alleged war crimes and human rights violations disclosed by him and Wikileaks.

Its failure to do so, combined with the harsh treatment of Mr Assange and Ms Manning, creates a perception that the US government’s purpose in prosecuting Mr Assange was ā€œto hide the wrongdoing of state agents rather than to protect national securityā€.

silver monkey x vervet linux configuration


Hi
Does any of you use this mouse on their Linux machine. Apparently its pretty good mouse other than the fact that software is atrocius and you cant change RGB howewer you want or configure dps and deafult rgb setting apparently suck.
Buuut obviusly i wont be using windows software on linux but probably piper or whatewer else i can find .
So my question is does linux fix the flaws of that mice or perhaps quite the opposite ?
How do gaming mouses even work on linux in general ?

https://www.x-kom.pl/p/1110541-myszka-bezprzewodowa-silver-monkey-x-vervet.html

in reply to szczuroarturo

AFAIK Silver Monkey is rather local brand, created by the owners of x-kom. So the group that uses them will be very, very small. Unless those use driver used in some more popular brand, there's little chance those will be covered by some project that handles configuring mice that aren't configurable via buttons
in reply to INeedMana

Damm i thought it was some global chinese brand. No wonder i found only polish websites.



Versioning as memory?


by @beet_keeper

So, it turns out my theme of the moment is code hygiene (or maybe memory?).

Today I am thinking about versioning, especially in relation to its impact on digital preservation; both software preservation and the impact of versions on long-term preservation efforts in other contexts.
