I don't understand why Tiramisu isn't considered the ideal breakfast.
It has caffeine, sugar, and fat to give you energy for the day and a touch of booze to numb how stupid reality really is right now.

This will allow openRC user services to work in Debian, and eventually standalone init.
Because I set my Mastodon posts to automatically delete, I channeled my anger into this blog post telling Tech Bros to fuck off. https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/a-thermodynamic-failure-of-the-soul/
I'm much less upset about the destruction of rare (old, out of print, niche) books by megacorps than I am about the fact that those books can't be digitized by libraries for public access or benefit because the former is legal and the latter is not.
Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that due to the current DRAM/eMMC shortage, there isn't any plans to continue producing more Linux devices in the near future. Whether production continues or not depends on the pricing situation for those components after mid 2027.
Devices like the PineNote and PineTab2 are currently estimated to run out of stock in three months time. Just pre-warning everyone in case people start asking when things are going to be in stock again.
Meanwhile, devices like the PineTime, PineVoice and Pinecil will continue production as usual!
As for the PineTime Pro, currently the demo firmware has basic drivers for the display, touch, motion, GPS, buttons, heat rate sensor (chip id only), battery charger, motor, microphone and the speaker. Though some issues do need to be ironed out first before a pilot batch begins production.
That's it for this post, all in all it's a bit bleak for the Linux devices, but in the meantime PineStore still have a great lineup of MCU powered devices which will continue to expand with more exciting devices.
Alrightttttt, have a great Monday! (or Tuesday, if you're up that early)
Happy 90th birthday to Margaret Hamilton, who led the development of the on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo Guidance Computer. Here she is in 1969, standing next to listings of the Apollo guidance software she and her MIT team produced.
My summary of the options in the #Debian LLM General Resolution vote:
I do remember it was the first in a series, and had a brown-ish cover.
recently someone posted a book that detailed how to build #floppies from scratch (including the ferrofluid etc.) I thought I had saved or boosted it, but apparently not. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact title, maybe @nina_kali_nina knows? In general the book was talking about magnetic storage, and was from the 80's (I think). Please boost.
EDIT:
Found it thanks to @vaporeon_ and @gloriouscow , it's "Magnetic Recording, Volume 1".
Having started a #Debian GR with probably the most options, ever.
Do Not Talk To Me About "AI"
I had some cards printed up.
These are unlikely to change any minds, but they will defintely shorten some incredibly tedious conversations at the bar.
Here's a PDF if you'd like some of your own.
