finnish electro classic from 25-26'ish years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZpZWm5GRXo

i.e. when the electroclash boom was ongoing with lots of stuff coming from i-f, parallax corporation, miss kittin and the hacker, dmx krew and others. stuff like that was playing a lot at venues. good times :-)

what a depressing situation really, and weekend is ruined as i cannot do things i like to do on free time but i'll get there!

I'm trying to figure out how to get this to used in the Steam version of Rocksmith 2014 running with CrossOver:

IOUSBHostDevice, id 0x100000$
| | +-o Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter@00110000 <class

There is macOS version of the game at Steam but unfortunately macOS Sequoia broke it, and it goes without saying that Ubisoft will not fix it ;-)

It runs otherwise with zero tweaks required and zero glitches appearing with CrossOver. I'll definitely buy it, if the cable starts working too. There's bunch of free alternatives but I'll just want to get the fucking game working and get on with my life. Definitely worth of paying the discounted price of 51 euros and 80 cents at least (up until 11th of July) ;-)

for what it is worth this is how you “lsusb” in macOS:

$ ioreg -p IOUSB
+-o Root  <class IORegistryEntry, id 0x100000100, retain 36>

ioreg is a wrapper utility for doing queries from https://developer.apple.com/documentation/iokit

just learned this and now i’ll probably remember it too after writing this ;-)

submitted fish version of the mc-wrapper:

https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/4726

i'm actually using zsh (and no immediate plans to switch), but i just wanted to see how fish feels like so did a little bit of scripting ...

#fish #shell #mc

probably this is a better idea: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/aF9QHdH9k8x1mVjy@kernel.org/

Really have been satisfied on moving to Fastmail for personal, kernel.org account etc. It scales the best from iPhone to mutt with no glitches.

#fastmail

came to mind while doing https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20250626101935.1007898-1-jarkko@kernel.org/T/#u

cleanup.h is almost like Symbian cleanup stack (ugh)

#linux #kernel #symbian

Just learned how to update OVMF_VARS.fd offline before running QEMU:

 virt-fw-vars \
    --input "$OUTPUT/OVMF_VARS.fd" \
    --output "$OUTPUT/OVMF_VARS.fd" \
    --append-boot-filepath /EFI/debian/grubx64.efi

E.g., in Debian the package containing virt-fw-vars is python3-virt-firmware but it is also available from PIP: https://pypi.org/project/virt-firmware/

#qemu #ovmf

IMHO still the best "top". atop has especially come handy over the years in kernel debugging given the vast amounts of detailed proc data it shows: https://atoptool.nl/

Going to observe and learn Azure and Intune attestation at work next week :-) Got a tenant to play with. Also nice chance to use Wireshark, which I don't use that often.

@mpdesouza It is still definitely objective strength of Vim over how good or bad text editor it is: its command language has a track record of translating to a number of applications (text editors, file managers and even web sites). Helix as an ecosystem needs grow a bit ;-) Anyhow, I wish best for the project. It is actually innovative Rust based application project in my books ...

@mpdesouza I've been using Sublime Text on side of Vim for number of years (maybe something like eight'ish) for meetings and similar situations, and one obstacle was the lack of helix bindings. This lack of ubiquity among other software than helix itself was the main bottleneck really. Years will show if Helix becomes similar language of interaction (there's extension for VSCode already at least).

@mpdesouza I now remember what started to hit me: it started to be confusing that universal vim bindings work elsewhere (even in many sites), and it started to distract too much and was somehow just too confusing (i.e. to change the mindset)...

@mpdesouza i used it for a while on terminal just to get grip of it but i ended up returning back on using vim ;-) could be i try it some day again... it was not bad!
