It doesn't do a verification flow on the address provided, so you can just use <randomstring>@sharklasers.com or similar to try it out.

Hi Matt, thanks for contributing to the thread. Do you have any progress on Coreboot support yet? I've been holding off buying until this is available - the presence of bootguard makes me nervous and as far as I can tell, it's not

I much prefer working on my fast Ryzen "NUC" to a Pi4, but for electronics tinkering, I miss it having decent memory-mapped GPIO+SPI+I2C. From time to time, I search around in case someone's done a nice PCIe (or M.2?) card wi

Ouch, that's really horrible - and presumably signing makes it impossible to replace the MacOS recovery with a linux kernel + initramfs to act as recovery UI? Thanks for clarifying. Looks like that's another route to a clean, fast

I agree. It makes building and testing arm64 versions of larger software a real pain. I do personal builds of llvm + clang + rust on a couple of 8GB RPi4s, but it takes many hours. I built a 1U 5900X build machine for about £1500 a couple o

This is really interesting: I'd love to hear more about how you have the mouse key layer set up and how you've managed to make it work as well for you as a mouse or trackpad.

The while (*src++); on line 45 of lib/libc/string/strlcpy.c is an inline implementation of strlen here. It's done solely for the benefit of the return value (src - osrc - 1) but means that it traverses the entire length

Another example: the :/; key looks visually sensible because they nicely balanced and compatible sizes. The +/= key looks super strange because = is HUGE and + is tiny.

Given a random board with an aspeed 2500 on it, I assume that's not sufficient to allow the manufacturer firmware to be replaced with vanilla openbmc by a user though?

Looks great and I'll keep my eyes peeled for when you launch. Rotary encoder is an interesting idea. (Presumably reporting a key-press for each click left and right?) I know you're only at prototype stage, but visually I'd sa

I'd dearly love to do this. I'd even settle for keeping the (presumably ancient) kernel shipped by the manufacturer and just replacing the user space to ditch the hardware manufacturer's pile of hacked together crap and clunk

Nice detailed write-up. A random extra observation: assuming you're building your own kernel, you can bundle initramfs into the kernel as a single UEFI executable without needing that third-party boot stub. Set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE

These look really nice hardware. I wonder if there's any chance of coreboot on them...

Two other macos breakages that I've recently been bitten by: They never got round to implementing unnamed posix semaphores: sem_init() will always give EINVAL. They never got round to finishing poll(). It fails on devices. Because this

This article isn't about creating a repository with non-standard properties I'm afraid. It's just a set of instructions for copying one repository into another. The resulting repo isn't any different from any other Githu

I think archiving stops anyone pushing to a repo at all, but an option to label a repo as a mirror (and thereby block pull requests on GitHub) would be perfect for me - it pretty much exactly describes the situation for my GitHub repos. You

This reminds me of the way ssh became so popular so quickly in the mid-1990s: it was simultaneously more secure and more pleasant to use than unencrypted telnet or rlogin. I've tried to take the general lesson when writing my own syste

Apple's strategy against the web app workaround appears to be two-pronged: abandon any pretence at maintaining webkit whilst continuing locking out more competent browser engines. Even Microsoft in the IE era didn't actively ban N

The tool I used to use for this years ago is isync/mbsync, which worked really well. Nowadays I just use rsync on Maildirs because I don't have any IMAP mail on servers where I don't have shell access, so I'm a bit out o

People typically email using email addresses, and text using phone numbers. They're both messaging identifiers that might be easily be repurposed for Signal. There's no property of the latter that makes them a better choice than t

The constant repetition is indeed nauseating. It's also nonsense. There is another unique identifier that's stored in the local contact list: email addresses. Use either email address or a phone number as an identifier, and you&#x

Signal leaks your telephone number to everyone with whom you communicate, which is a privacy disaster before you even send your first message. (Please don't take this as implicit approval for Telegram's approach to secure messagin

Being unsure of my recollection, I've just bootstrapped and installed the most recent go 1.14.3 release on a pure musl x86_64 chroot. Everything I can think of to test so far is working impeccably.

Are there problems with go on musl, then? Not a heavy go user but I’m sure I’ve built a working go setup fairly painlessly on musl VM before. (Maybe it’s a recent problem or perhaps I’m misremembering and I did something horrid like pulling

I think you underappreciate libvirt here. The qemu command line interface is really quite ugly and awkward to use. You might imagine that, in wrapping it, libvirt might fail to make it worse. But they actually succeeded! (To be fair, if you

Alas you /still/ can’t disable pull requests, even when a Github mirror is completely the wrong place to submit patches.

Surely you mean 'so-called "style" of writing'? :)
