And I know the Coreboot port isn’t finished yet but with the way the tech industry is going I might as well grab one now before motherboards are the next thing to triple in price :neocat_shocked:

RE: https://masto.ai/@phoronix/116689164548291086

Hmm… only £140 and I can get Coreboot on my current-gen system? :neocat_aww:

(MSI PRO B850-P WiFi by the way, as it’s not in the original toot)

My Subvert membership zine has arrived! :neocat_aww:

It says to share on Instagram, but I don’t have that, so you lovely Mastodon folk get to see it instead.

For those not familiar, they’re essentially aiming to build a co-op version of Bandcamp. Really looking forward to seeing what it becomes!

Been a while since I posted a blogpost so this is a quick one.

Raspberry Pi OS can cloud-init now for pre-boot config which is awesome. :neocat_laptop:

But there's not many guides out there that cover the right syntax for static IPv6 networking with it, so I threw together my working config and notes in case it helps anyone.

Still not 100% sold on #NixOS, but I guess this is how I do major version upgrades for my desktop now which is fun... :neocat_laptop:

Last.fm is now independent :neocat_book:

Interesting. I was already thinking of signing back up as part of my experiment leaving streaming services behind

I meant to start posting regularly for #BandcampFriday but keep forgetting.

This month’s earworm :neocat_bongo_down: :

Nekrogoblikon have a collab with Reel Big Fish on their latest album, and it goes unreasonably hard: https://nekrogoblikon.bandcamp.com/track/secret-elephant

If you like melodic death metal mixed with ska (who wouldn’t), it might be for you.

I crave details, NCSC! Give me your threat model! :neocat_glare:

The UK NCSC are releasing some kind of inline display connection widget thing to “secure” HDMI and DisplayPort connections.

Really struggling to understand the threat model on this one… it seems so badly explained in the post.

Are they trying to suggest channels like EDID or HDMI CEC are actual threat vectors? Or maybe it’s an attempt to defend against people plugging in inline capture cards or something? (Can’t really see how that’d work anyway) :neocat_googly:

Woop. Last month’s Bandcamp Friday purchase finally arrived :neocat_aww:

Things we know:

* Valve have been working on an unknown project called” HLX”
* Valve promised an updated version of the Half-Life 2 “Raising the Bar” book in 2025, but missed the deadline for unknown reasons
* Valve’s new hardware launch has been delayed by the RAM crisis

…there is a non-zero chance that Sam Altman has delayed Half-Life 3

Real world implications of the OSA

“Sorry I’m 15 so I can’t say the name of the [Sexual Offences Act 2003] or Reddit will mark my post as not visible to me and I won’t be able to verify my identity to view my own post.”

The new "AI Kill Switch" in Firefox is a welcome addition, but did they really not hook this up to the Enterprise Policy framework? :neocat_scream:

Doesn't seem to be affected by the existing GenerativeAI policy.
