@bagder well if you're bored…

using AI to infer age? Maybe we should all write like youngsters now out of solidarity. I being:

chat this is so 6 7 based, I'm crashing out on the riiiiiizz. lowkey slay.

It's been a year, indeed. We've launched the second, longer term project to address systemic problems in this country. https://blog.codinghorror.com/launching-the-rural-guaranteed-minimum-income-initiative/

I think I spend half my time dealing with people who come up with this "your project would go way faster if you just ran the code before you wrote the code" idea...

“pandoc for the people”, the pandoc wasm web-app, is now available at https://pandoc.org/app/
It allows to run any kind of document conversion that pandoc supports in the browser. The documents never leave the computer, thus ensuring *full privacy*.
Conversions to pdf are done via Typst.

As it came up in a few conversations during "FOSDEM week", here's a link to the OpenSSF blog post about why the idea of "attestation for open source projects" is, in my opinion, and others, a bad idea:

https://openssf.org/blog/2026/01/21/preserving-open-source-sustainability-while-advancing-cybersecurity-compliance/

Yes, FOSS foundations and projects need ways of getting funding, that is very important, but thinking that "attestation is how we will get that money!" might not be such a good idea given the risks involved, and the past experience for those that have attempted it.

I got an "it's AI generated" warning on the ad for this ad, but not on the site trying to look like a newspaper...

All aboard the #FOSDEM #train!

If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse

We've built our own text-to-speech system with an initial English language model we trained ourselves with fully open source data. It will be added to our App Store soon and then included in GrapheneOS as a default enabled TTS backend once some more improvements are made to it.

The @europeanOSacademy‘s Excellence in Open Source Award 2026 goes to @gregkh #opensource #OSAwards #eosawards26, presented by @bagder. #linux

@nor4 There you go.

I am thrilled to be back at FOSDEM. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet with the open source community and connect with fellow developers at such a great conference!

Please join me this Saturday in the FOSS on Mobile devroom. I will be presenting the technical evolution of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, demonstrating how we achieved full mainline support—from power management to the Adreno GPU—running on actual product hardware.

I look forward to seeing you there.
Saturday, 18:30 | Room UB4.132

@jmorris @etchedpixels ah, I guess that explains why they can't find those references ;)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@amutable/115967747219090945

Today I'm super excited to announce Amutable, our new company together with @pid_eins and @blixtra.
I couldn't be happier to have @cyphar, @daandemeyer, @zbyszek, @pothos, @michaelvogt,
@rodrigo_rata, @davidstrauss as part of our team.
I've known them for a very long time and I'm very happy they are on board for the ride.
I can't wait to show everyone what we're building.
Made with ❤️ in Berlin.

@jmorris @etchedpixels it's here https://www.energynetworks.org/publications/statutory-voltage-limits-technical-report . Section 2.5 contains the discussion on distribution losses, skimming it makes me think I don't know how transformers actually work...

ppl always complain that the clock on my microwave never shows the right time bcs i cant be assed to set it manually

so now i have an unfuck-microwave.sh cronjob which briefly kills its power every day at midnight

Heyo Fediverse,

Did you ever want to run your VHDL code on someone else’s FPGA and see the results as a video?

No?

With @icepi-zero-bot you can do it anyway!

Just send the account an ask containing your VHDL code (see the account’s bio for an example) and the bot will synthesize your code, flash it onto my Icepi Zero FPGA board, and record a 30s video of its HDMI output!

I know this might not be the most useful bot, but I’ve mainly made it just for fun.

Feel free to play around a bit with it! :D

I’ll add SystemVerilog support soon, once I figure out how to reliably differentiate it from VHDL based on only the code.

@directhex it's actually really what happened. I think maybe the TV thought the washing machine was a bluetooth speaker?

They all speak so many protocols I'm not 100% sure what's actually connecting to what, though -- the washer has bluetooth, matter, some Samsung stuff, and some Google stuff (as it runs something Android-ish). I don't think the TV is on the network, but the crash just happened once -- and only when the TV wouldn't listen to CEC, so it got power cycled.

That or LG just figured out how to make Samsung stuff crash ;)
