I am a software developer interested in the weird and surprising bits of it, the stuff that sometimes brings everything to a halt or helps you out. More generally, I'm interested in how we construct, convey and care for communal spaces. Maps, architecture, language, and many other things. Always antifascist.

I appreciate if you interact with me before you follow me.

i installed on a xiaomi poco f1, and i'm facing issues with wifi firmware crashes. i have been unable to figure it out for quite a while. anybody who could help me debug it, or at least find a way to reload the firmware without having to reboot the device? 🙏 it would already help me a lot if i could chat someone that knows a bit about linux firmware and the networking stack and ask some questions.

it's a bit annoying to figure this out because it happens irregularly. it does seem to happen much more frequently when running from the battery, but this may be a false trail

@craftyguy when reloading the module, do i need to manually reload the dependent modules? and is there a maningful difference between rmmod and modprobe -r?

i feel like i've said this before, but i just hate it so much how common police control has become when crossing european borders. entering bavaria from austria by train the first thing that happens is an announcement that border patrol will stop and search the train, please keep your ids and passports ready. the bavarian government is proud to show no mercy against migrants, and the tension is felt among all passengers. there is no way to fortify your borders without fortifying the society they are allegedly protecting

this is really a cool: a font that throws a shadow depending on the time of day

@computersandblues@post.lurk.org avatar

from what i can tell the font doesn't know about the time of day, so you have to appropriately pick the variant but it's still a really nice use of opentype features

„I believe that artificial intelligence has three quarters to prove itself before the apocalypse comes, and when it does, it will be that much worse, savaging the revenues of the biggest companies in tech. Once usage drops, so will the remarkable amounts of revenue that have flowed into big tech, and so will acres of data centers sit unused, the cloud equivalent of the massive overhiring we saw in post-lockdown Silicon Valley.“

"Importantly, these means (ActvityPub) can serve as a kind of vehicle by which we are able to guarantee that the objects in our collection, which by virtue of their inclusion we argue means they are worthy of repeated consideration, can enjoy a kind of repeat visitation. Even if that revisitation is virtual it fosters the practice of seeing, and re-seeing, the objects in our collections more than once." – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2024/03/12/activitypub/
