Learned how to install a “VSCode only” extension to VSCodium:

  1. Go to a page: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=nordic-semiconductor.nrf-kconfig
  2. Download vsix.
  3. codium --install-extension nordic-semiconductor.nrf-kconfig-2024.9.20.vsix

Now Kconfig looks pretty ;-)

Why only Apple laptops have an 3,5mm audio port that is of super sonic quality?

All other audio ports suck. It's the literal truth. It's the killer feature in Apple products.

Try to connect your Thinkpad directly to a stage sound system and it will be hell. This applies to all PC laptops I've ever tried.

Why it is like this?

I don't have personal laptop at the moment but soon going to get a new one, and it definitely will be Apple laptop, and it is ONLY because of 3,5mm audio port.

Noteworthy is that also the latency metrics of Apple's audio are in par with an external audio interface.

Can OpenPGP signing key used also as Machine Owner Key (MOK) for signing kernel and modules by some means? That would be the most practical way as I have that always available in my Yubikey.

I can use my OpenPGP keyring to:

1. Sign tags for Linus.
2. Sign commits at work.
3. Authenticate to all SSH servers I have access to.
4. Authenticate to all Git repositories I have access to.
5. Right and manage my "root of trust" with pass: https://www.passwordstore.org/

I'm sure it must be applicable in a way or another also as MOK.

@ljs It's just that I hate political debates even more than politics itself, which I already hate quite a bit :-) Guaranteed way to get your inner Feng shui fucked up with almost anyone is to end up discussing about the topic...

@aldonogueira This is anyway my end game with these dominating browsers: both suck in their own ways :-) So I use the other until it fails me... Not really fan of either.

@aldonogueira I've put link to "about:profiles" to every profile as the first link in the toolbar. Makes it relatively convenient in the end of the day.

@ljs I've solved politics: my girlfriend says who I vote and then I vote that candidate. If someone asks me an opinion about politics, I'll tell them to ask from my girlfriend what I think. It's been great since the final solution.

The interface is a bit rough but Firefox actually has profiles just like Chrome. This from my work Thinkpad.

Have been converting once again to Firefox from Chrome only because I want to use at least the same browser in every platform and aarch64 has only Firefox (i.e. my Mac mini).

This is how I usually switch between Chrome and Firefox: a dead-end comes and I switch to the other.

Last time I switched to Chrome was because of broken WebMIDI support in Firefox, which now fully works with Novation hardware so the browser table tennis continues.

Only issue I've had with Fedora 41 has been Signal but then I recalled this:

https://github.com/BarbossHack/Signal-Desktop-Fedora

Building RPM packages and installing them fixed all the issues.

"libLISA is a library for automatically discovering and analyzing CPU instructions. It relies on minimal human input: only a definition of CPU state and a CPU observer are required to be implemented."

Fedora 41 upgrade ongoing. More worried when I do the same for Asahi Linux (because never upgraded it before).

@Aissen And maybe was a bit too judgemental, I can admit that. Let's see how this goes.

@BoydStephenSmithJr @jwz a music streaming service has a fundamental problem of having to comply all kinds of legal etc requirements so this problem cannot really get fixed. it is in the genes of the whole business model.

@BoydStephenSmithJr @jwz streaming services miss interesting and obscure. only i like is youtube because it leaks in this sense because it does not "productize" music. while i'm working i just find something interesting from there and put autoplay on and let the mayhem flow in :-)
