This week's task: enabling /boot decoupling from the SD card on U-Boot-based Hardware Models. Rebooted it more times than I care to count : reliability confirmed. ✅

Now to rebuild the Installer with the final code.

Windows 11 or NetBSD 11... only one will never have ads in the default install.

I was gonna hold off on posting about it until I successfully got something installed on it, but that's proving to be harder than I expected.

This Lemote Yeeloong netbook arrived on the 1st, and is a pretty cool little device, using entirely free software drivers and firmware. #RMS even used to daily-drive one of these.

I'm hoping to get some form of #Slackware on it, most likely through #Bonslack, so stay tuned :)

@alice I was technically born dead. When I was coming out of the womb, I experienced a common phenomenon for babies in that my shoulder was moved weirdly which prompted me to stop breathing and was momentarily pronounced dead at birth. However, since it was such a common issue, they knew how to resuscitate me back to life.

Yay, I'm a zombie :3

How many of you would agree that Pepe the frog as a meme has by and large broken free from his fascist connotations in the mid-2010s? I personally feel that he has, since I see vastly more positive and wholesome Pepe memes these days compared to the bad ones.

Would you agree?

Yeah, we've successfully taken Pepe back :D

Testing some updates to the Slackware AArch64 U-Boot configurator, and decided to bring one of the original RockPro64 systems back online -- the same hardware used at the beginning of the AArch64 port.

Hardware Model: Pine64 RockPro64 v2.1
Linux bladswede.arm.slackware.com 6.9.5-armv8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 18 09:07:28 BST 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

This machine hasn’t been powered on since 2024. It already feels like a different era.

DAW question for Slackware 15.1: Pipewire or JACK Audio?

I bought a new laptop to do some more serious work on, and while I was setting up the audio, installing JACK Audio Server and friends, I wondered what would be the proper path forward for a Slackware DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) when Slackware 15.1 is released with all the improvements over the 15.0 stable release. Should I stick with JACK or look into Pipewire to get rid of the Jack server?

Apple abandoned FireWire last year. I'm bringing it back with this new Raspberry Pi HAT, a prototype of the 'Firehat' by some creative individuals in the MiniDV community. See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuKeW45OL-g

Coreforge is at it again, repurposing an old AMD B350 motherboard (sans CPU) as a Raspberry Pi PCIe breakout board: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/809
