If you're cold, they're cold. Let them inside.

turns out it can indeed be hard to listen to the radio if you are of by roughly 3.7 GHz.

The bug that has plagued me for more than a week now was an easy to miss typo at a rather obvious location.
I read through the firmware source of the SDR, the documentation of the platform it was built on, found two different unrelated bugs in the create I am using, but it was a typo/possibly autocomplete fuckup (to_be_bytes would be listed before to_le_bytes if purely alphabetical, but the other calls in the function were correct, so very easy to miss).

… ended up catching up on a story I was a dozen chapters behind on, which helped. It was no setup effort and predictable results compared to the other options more at the whims of external factors.
(but I also only did this after I still read some
of the source code related to my problem).

Hey, any german queers who wanna befriend a shy german trans girl who really needs friends and guidance?

Alternatively, are there any instances that might be willing to take her in?

… which also leaves me int he mood to so fuck all that could usually be maybe fun sometimes. Like vr shenanigans are a constant stream of jank only alleviated if creatures I know are around (so just the next infuriating problem to bang my head against), focussing on other media (reading, watching something) won't work because my brain won't fucking let go of trying to solve the thing, going to Aikido is the thing I fucked up myself, etc…

Recently I occasionally manage to just not let go of a challenging task, even though I would have other plan, which means I mess those up for myself, like today. Which is even more infuriating on top of the fact that thing I was working on should just fucking work.
I have set an alarm now to “get the fuck away from work” on weekdays, maybe that helps.

#AskFedi: So, fun little question: Does anyone know of people, ideally a company (freelancer might be more difficult) with experience in both CTFs (especially attack/defend, ideally design of those too) and close-to-metal programming?

quick! no time to explain! make a creature noise!

it was the bloody firewall, by the way. Not that it told me that. But yeah, now the setup is neat enough to just work with no intervention.

(cont’d) like, my system already does iw reg set based on my timezone properly when a wifi interface is connected, I added a udev rule to disable power_save for wlan* and verified it works, I tried setting the device as unmanaged in nmcli, nothing changes and the error reporting in steam sucks ass (“could not connect” is not a fucking proper error)…
What else is left to bloody try?!

(but this time it is Valve being idiots)

Kennt IRGENDJEMAND irgendeinen Platz wo ich bis auf weiteres Schlafen kann? Am besten im Raum Unna/Kamen mit halbwegs guter Anbindung zum ÖPNV.

Happy late Halloween!

My linux- and VR-related misadventures continue…
This time with the Steam Frame and streaming, I had to enter a pin just once and am forever left “waiting” on the wireless adapter, even though I have checked power save, region, and whether the DE greedily grabs the device…
I just wanna have fun with creatures and every fucking time it is nothing but pain.
Search engines churning out piles of shit instead of results and the sloppification of everything fucks with researching this too.
