Compiled the zsbl, compiled edk2 - both with the properly pinned DTB. Now I just need _a linux_... xD That should be fun.

"zsbl" means "Zero Stage Bootloader" and is the very, very first piece of the puzzle to boot the Milk-V Pioneer - which I now own. user@BIGBOI:/opt/zsbl$ du -h zsbl.* 132K zsbl.bin 944K zsbl.dis 772K zsbl.elf 240K zsbl.map It feels stupidly weird to just... compile your bootloader. This is literally the first thing that gets invoked after the CPU; it is what bootstraps the initial hardware and eventually goes to EDK2 / u-boot. o.o This is probably as close to an IPL as Ill ever get. xD

Most people: Oh no, my Facebook got hacked! PANIC! This lad: Oh no, my Facebook got hacked! Welp, I'll make it a song instead. I SWEAR THIS GUY JUST FUCKING RULES HOLY SHIT #tunestr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHCTTa8UP9U

Hey nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kytcqyp2x308wkaxwxh95zu7uext5hhdvn6y55a9l84z0nj5tw42xqhy76xjduwt - quick question! Have you patched CVE-2025-48561? Thanks. =)

TIL: There are FreeBSD NVIDIA drivers. o.o https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/580.105.08/ ... I was not ready for that. Also, Wayland and KDE work there too. Holy shit, I feel like I've been living under a rock - although I really haven't. Dude this BSD rabbithole goes fucking deep O.O

So while looking through proxy tools like clash-rs, sing-box and friends, I came across Mihomo. The repo says it's 100% python, the README is about Honkai Star Rail. ...but check the branches, and you'll see something odd. Within there hides a Go application that is the _actual_ project. xD Pretty cheeky hiding, yeah, but the kind of software I am looking at is for evading censorship and alike - so... weird meassures are to be expected. Slightly shady and I am still intrigued. This stuff is mainly targeted at China users but... hey, who says I can't deploy that here, and make some good use of my ProtonVPN connection? =) This'll be fun to explore. One day, my whole network will have gone underground. Will take me quite a while to get there tho...

I have a new reason to have "an issue" with Rust. Not really, but see: - OPNSense is an appliance based on FreeBSD, - it disables the FreeBSD repos for stability, - it provides source-ports to add some individual packages when needed, - among those is fish, - fish is written in Rust, - Rust is based on LLVM, - LLVM is fucking gigantic. So this source port literally went from LLVM into Rust into Fish and took THREE FUCKING HOURS XD. Let alone the disk usage; easily 15GB for the entire build tree. @.@ I hope I never have to update this... because otherwise I am just gonna cry. Really, if elvish didn't have it's flickery odd behaviour in the Windows Terminal, which IS my primary terminal, I'd just use that...

Getting to know the ins and outs of FreeBSD under OPNSense. It's rather easy to tell it's ment as an appliance; ports have to be built from source - but their Makefile based system is stupidly good. I really like it. It reminds me of the MacPorts package ... oh, wait ... x) The last "BSD" I ever did _was_ on Mac OS X - first with Macports (I remember exploding /sw multiple times...) and later with Homebrew. Those things were mad fun. But, I intend to very carefuly pick and choose the packages I put here; the firewall is ment to be a firewall. Long-term goal is to use it to put the whole network on a VPN, grant access to tor and i2p, and use DNS proxying/cloaking. I still have to figure out a good way to whitelist things though. For example, for Genshin, any of the *.hoyoverse.com domains need to be routed directly. Clash-rs _can_ do that, and I bet sing-box also. But it'll take time to find workflows from finding the edge cases, isolating them in the log, formulating rules, and then setting them. ... Have I mentioned that I am "done" with the clearnet? xD May sound like a stereotypical braindead imbicile but FUCK DEM CORPOS \m/

That Sophos is now running OPNSens. Time to learn a new thing!

This lad's story sure aged like milk... Meta, OpenAI, Microsoft and basically any "big tech" could not even remotely care less. I doubt today's Reddit would do what it did back then - heck, not even WordPress... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyWnTMM1vO4

Have I mentioned that I love japanese sillyness? x) #tunestr https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/6OoRQHKUV8M0WC4XoudfMX

I finally found an editor to replace nano: https://github.com/neurocyte/flow This thing RULES. It doesnt even feel like a TUI - with mouse support and all. Thats so fucking cool O.O Zig is also a language I really havent looked into all that much. In fact, Zig, D and Swift. I want to give all three of them a shot at some point. Swift in particular, because it can build standalone GUI apps with C interop - and thus, technically with Go interop. xD I have very, very cursed ideas...

Okay this thing is kinda funny - I wanna put it on my desk. xD https://youtube.com/shorts/zDNFxEpirgY?si=axaBMJ4YmSsq4ssw So. Who knows what that thing is? Seems to be some ASIC. #asknostr

Any Apple devs here? Please tell me you guys have a cleaner way than... whatever the fuck this is o_o https://github.com/google/promises/blob/master/g3doc/index.md#async

o.o

veeeery sleepy and cold GM... should've turned on my heater overnight :/

Hey? Americans? I really, REALLY do feel sorry for you, you know? https://www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikToks/comments/1oi0s2n/trump_being_confused_saluting_when_he_didnt_need/ Nobody should have to suffer like this. Truely. ...What the hell have you voted. o.o

I hate, HATE how companies, even nieche ones, have forgotten where they and most of today's tech and innovation came from: A couple basement dwellers poking stuff and fucking around because it was interesting, accessible and they had ideas. Now? If you want to buy the interesting stuff, you have to do so via B2B. Fucking idiots gating access and being surprised about no innovations. Brother. I am soooooo done with this. I have spent the last weeks trying to get ahold of SOPHGON and Milk-V to grab a Pioneer board and some information due to sparse information. Fucking crickets. No reply. But they will HAPPILY repost and share all the community work on box64 and alike and use it to promote their hardware. Dude I am livid. The AI bubble needs to burst and we need a serious rethink; if there are no longer enthusiasts and basement dwellers, then the small web will win, innovation will die, surveiliance will prevail. Because who'd stop it? Or have the means to? Fuuuuuuck. Did not want to get up and looking at my mails and realizing this. Seriously. x.x

GM!

I wanted to find a new ringtone. Instead, I found this ABSOLUTE! CUTENES! #tunestr #mikustr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l8VZEyNRH8
