Sure, you can buy Windows 11 Pro and follow these steps, or just install any modern Linux distro and tick the box "encrypt disk" in the installer.

Jensen Huang: Zionist occupation has become Nvidia’s second home

Nvidia has confirmed "Globes" report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.

According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.

Limo: A simple Qt based mod manager

Someone mentioned this on a the recent discussions about Nexus Mods cancelling their Linux mod loader, and after trying it out I thought it was worth making a dedicated post about it.

Shoutout to FerretDB doing God's work.

Putting data from apps that were built for MongoDB into Postgres.

https://github.com/FerretDB/FerretDB

And their lived experience trying to help the MongoDB ecosystem by building an open standard for document databases:

In 2021, we founded FerretDB with a bold vision: to return the document database market to its open source roots by creating the leading open source alternative to MongoDB, built on Postgres.

For years, we tirelessly advocated for an open standard. We built a popular product, collaborated with Microsoft to open source DocumentDB, and held high-level meetings with cloud providers and stakeholders to make the case for a standard that is similar to SQL, but for document databases.

In 2023, a MongoDB VP reached out to me. On a Zoom call, we were threatened with a lawsuit for building a compatible product. Being called a thief by a leader of a (then) $35B company was a moment of stark clarity on MongoDB's opinion about our work and the need for a standard. At the end of that call, I told them the industry would inevitably come together to create the open standard they refused to provide.

Their response? "They would never do that. They are our trusted partners."

Today, the market has spoken. The Linux Foundation has announced the adoption of the DocumentDB project [1] to create an open standard with MongoDB compatibility, the exact thing we were sued for earlier this year. [2]

This is a monumental win for developers and enterprises everywhere. It validates the years of work we've poured into this mission.

It is also telling that MongoDB's SSPL license has been abandoned by Elastic or Redis, the two prominent companies who were initially in favor of MongoDB's attempt to redefine open source. All clear signs that MongoDB's behavior is not appreciated by developers. [...]

Pictured: current TKL below, split ergomech above

Background

So I recently got my first ergomech keyboard: a used BastardKB TBKMini, 3x6+3 layout.

It came with the default keymap.

I have been crafting my own initial keymap, using some vim-based heuristics and Callum style one-shot mods.

Followed BastardKB's instructions and got my keymap to compile.

Then onto flashing. This is where the problem is.

The problem: flashing the board

Instructions: https://docs.bastardkb.com/fw/flashing.html

I managed to put the device into bootloader mode with both layer keys and the top-left key. Verified that it is in bootloader mode by checking that typing has no effect. Also lsusb shows "Atmega32u4 bootloader" instead of "BastardKB TBKMini keyboard".

But I don't get a disk device.

Things I tried

udev

I tried adding the udev rules that QMK docs recommend: https://docs.qmk.fm/faq_build#can-t-program-on-linux

But it still won't work.

OS

I even tried another pc with other OSes: same behavior on

  • Fedora
  • CachyOS
  • and even Windows 10

Help me please! 😥

Any ideas on what is going wrong here or what I could try to work around this? I really want to start using my split ergomech with a proper keymap.

Looking forward to reading your suggestions tomorrow morning (in about 9 hours for me, I'm in Europe). I wanted to post this now because I hope the Americans will be able to help me.


EDIT: Thanks, with your help and the help of some kind volunteers on the bastardkb discord I figured out that I have the old v1 elitec version and I managed to flash it with an old version of the bastardkb firmware. I got the layers working, as well as the combo, but callum’s oneshot modifiers aren’t working yet: https://github.com/fhoekstra/bastardkb-qmk/tree/main/keyboards/bastardkb/tbkmini/keymaps/fhoekstra


EDIT2: I finally listened and just followed the upstream QMK instructions, and it all just works, with Callum-style modifiers, combos, and a custom caps word:

Mig-31 had a major engine fire

Isn't that the normal operating state of the Foxbat family?

Tap for explanationMiG-25 engine service life is 150 hours, MiG-31 300 hours. These engines are essentially burning themselves to death constantly. For comparison: the 🇨🇵Rafale engine, the Snecma M88-2, has a time between overhauls of 3000 hours, and is designed for a service life of 6000 hours.

Plugins on a universal open source IDE are a better system than specialised proprietary IDEs (that also share "core" code but it's not open source).

Fight me.

Fair warning though: I know these

We've been wanting to set up Music Assistant and now since we started using ProtonVPN, Apple Music is constantly blocking our account.

Do you have any recommendations for a music service that works well with Music Assistant and from behind VPN?
