@mwichary Never seen that one before! That poor, lonely little Fn key…
This evening in iOS icons. Trying to decide what is worse – incorrect icons, or nonexistent contrast? It seems like since iOS 26 icons have become more heavyweight, they are slower to load in a lot of cases.

For a non-networked device A2Pico/A2RetroNET is so simple to use. Plug in a USB cable (to an iPad in my case), copy disk images and restart; no need to take out the SD card. If you just need SmartPort emulation, it's great — and 3× as fast reading from SD with today's release.

@splorp thanks!
@mwichary Was wondering if you were in Cleveland — welcome! Sorry it's so cold!
@splorp Is it available in English/any screenshots/manual available anywhere?
@drdrang not an excuse for this behavior, but I recently discovered that simply raising your watch and saying how long you want a timer for, such as “30 seconds”, is sufficient to start a timer.
Great talk if you are new to Asahi Linux or haven’t been following closely. (Not as my iPhone transcribed, açai Lennox). https://social.treehouse.systems/@AsahiLinux/115816896637542636

We said external displays would come to Asahi Linux in 2025… and it’s still 2025! Here’s experimental kernel code for single-port DP alt-mode, for developers to test as we iron out the kinks before releasing to end-users: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux/tree/fairydust For more information, make sure to watch Sven Peter’s talk at 39C3: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-asahi-linux-porting-linux-to-apple-silicon Happy new year and happy hacking!

@vyr I'm pleased to hear that #netatalk is useful to you! My collaborators and I have worked hard the last 3 years to get to this point. I'm proud of our achievements.

The com.apple.ResourceFork xattr is a particularly weird beast. Since resource forks are frequently too large to be stored as a "normal" extended attribute, Apple has this "positional" extension to the extended attributes which is stored at an offset and then read by a different API in macOS.

Since Apple has flagged that the macOS AFP client is going away next year, I'm hard at work on an open source AFP client built on macFUSE, but com.apple.ResourceFork is having me stumped so far.
