Purple is my natural hair color. I have strong opinions about software and sometime I even get to make them reality. Same for the state of the world in general, but I have a lot less influence there.

courtesy of @davidgerard, Proton is now the only privacy vendor I know of that vibe codes its apps:

> In the single most damning thing I can say about Proton in 2025, the Proton GitHub repository has a “cursorrules” file. They’re vibe-coding their public systems. Much secure!

I am once again begging anyone who will listen to get off of Proton as soon as reasonably possible, and to avoid their new (terrible) apps in any case. https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/114961415946154957

…oh no, it might not have been that issue though. Inserted a different card and the corruption errors while reading the filesystem header are back. 0.o

Now we're cookin'.

(This is still very slow cookin' because SD LOL, but in the traditional "high" speed mode the top number was 20 MB/s.)

[PATCH V4 0/4] Add level shifter support for qualcomm SOC's - Sarthak Garg

"hm, let me finally investigate that UHS SD card issue"

"is there anything about the modes in the other dt- OHHH"

This thread has taken too much of my time & energy, and I'm shifting that to elsewhere. I've preserved the thread here: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/JfGbx

Feel free to stop reblogging. I still would like to see pixelfed actually publish the vulnerability report on GitHub, and fix the issue with followings on pixelfed being out of sync with remote accounts due to this bug, but whatever.

hey, if you're at #why2025 and you (somehow) have something you want to send to me in particular, I have a local friend who went over there who can take things for me! You'll get a sticker from our hacklab in return!

Anyone wanna get rid of a spotify car thing, rabbit r1, or some other embedded Linux/Android junk like that? :3

I am very glad that I spent my weekend watching dinosaurs with my sweetie

but also

I would be less stressed if I had spent more of that time doing meal prep and chores 😅

At long last, I have finished the TCP Header cross stitch!!

I’m looking for remote opportunities — I’m open to both short to medium term contracts, long-term employment, etc. I’m in Brazil. Unfortunately, Outreachy’s financial situation hasn’t changed and we’ll have to cut or reduce some of our core program activities.

I’m the lead program manager, and under my tenure we fostered 700+ successful internships in free software, critical infrastructure and open science. I’d love to keep working with FOSS. https://notapplicable.dev/hire-me/
