Hm, if i want 12 V from USB-C, I need some kind of PD-IC regulator, right? Like a tps25814 ?
I want to supply a circuit with just "dumb" 12 V, no extra USB-C features needed.

@quixoticgeek basically yes. But they would need only to pull the killswitch on windows, similar chaos. That's why I run GrapheneOS and Debian.

Hmm, I should write a gnuplot cheatsheet.

Learn to self host now. While you still can.

@navi great, thanks!

Its a well known fact that the 4 CPU architectures are x86-64, aarch64, riscv64, and s390x

Nobody has ever actually directly observed s390x but, like dark matter, we can infer its existence through compiler support

I'm so tired of the LLM bullshit.

@navi does that mean it will be able to activate a sway session and I won't have to wrap it in dbus-run-session call anymore? Much appreciate your work on openRC!

@decathorpe same. Though I saw them twice when I was in Canada. Still, it's something to behold.

Hyped for tomorrow:
My KVM switch should arrive, and my kernel patch will gets its first review.

@infosecdj well, it's Bild, a rag tabloid. I wouldn't give them any credit.

*almost* done, just need to figure out GPIO. But that's a problem for later

@Ganneff Personally I watched it from the sidelines, and while I am politically very much against AI usage in the project, here it could be rebuffed with the copyright:

There's no way that LLM generated code can be copyrightable when there is no free LLM with its training data available
I read which model they used, and that certainly doesn't fulfill the DFSG. If we do not care about that then we might as well ship proprietary firmware in main.
