The news was talking about the shutdown of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, which was damaged in the 2001 Nisqually earthquake (yes, it's taken that long to get a replacement in the form of a tunnel), this coming January. They were telling people to prepare for major traffic problems because the viaduct closes three weeks before the tunnel opens. How does that make any sense? It's been damaged since 2001; it could wait a few more weeks beyond the current planned shutdown date to avoid traffic problems.

I think I'm on the upswing from this rhinovirus. Score 1 for the immune system beating back the invader.

Taking the time to wash, dry and fold the laundry and put it into the basket but didn't bother to put things away. Now I find one of the cats sitting on the basket of clean clothes, looking at me as if to say "Y halo thar. Thx 4 giving me warm place 2 sit."

Looking for a liquid cooling option for my librebooted Asus KFSN4-DRE because the CPU fans are so loud. But there doesn't seem to be any for dual Socket F 1207.

I thought it was a great write up and it does reflect a lot of people's attitudes towards FLOSS developers and projects.

Linux-libre On ARM, Take Two
2018-08-02T01:56:13Z via Pumpa To: Public
Okay; my APT repository for Linux-librre https://jxself.org/linux-libre is updated yet again and now has kernel packages for 32-bit ARMv7 with hardware FPU (called armhf by the package manager.)
Linux-libre on ARM
2018-08-01T01:28:43Z via Pumpa To: Public
I've updated my APT repository for Linux-libre; https://jxself.org/linux-libre to include support for the 64-bit ARMv8 architecture, referred to as 'aarch64' or 'arm64' in various places.
My understanding is that it should work on any 64-bit ARM device where the kernel has support for the hardware and where an appropriate Device Tree structure exists.
Has an attempt been made on the Raspberry Pi family via Buildroot perhaps?
Is linux-libre supported via Buildroot?
I've not tried using it on a Raspberry Pi.I have not tried Buildroot but I'd expect Linux-libre to be able to function as a drop-in replacement for the one from kernel.org.2018-07-31T03:58:29Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC:
