not familiar, though i'm not much of a horror guy myself

i'm gonna assume based on context it's the kind of work my senior-year english teacher would have spent two classes having us discuss the meaning behind the punctuation (or lack thereof) and capitalization, with my attention divided between [i have redacted this for several reasons...]

no problem! i'm frequently described as "abrasive" so i guess what goes around comes around...

i do appreciate the CSS tip(s) -- that stylesheet is a few years old with many alterations over time, so there are bunch of weird hacks that i'm not even sure why they're there. off the top of my head, for some reason the header is a div-within-a-div: #header and #header_internal. no idea why. :P

yeah, it's pretty unoptimized for mobile. on my todo list.

where does firefox complain about that?

also i should change the license footer, you're right

yeah, i prefer lowercase as i find it comes off more casual / authentic

fellow u-console owner! i have the a-06. the modem is shite, in my experience. i can't say for sure but i'd guess it's arm. the pinephone (pro) uses the eg25-g (as i discuss in the article), which runs an android bootloader, older linux kernel, and generic gnu(?) userland. the bootloader, kernel, and userland are all FOSS (well, they can be flashed to be, anyway). the ADSP (the code that directly interfaces with the radios) is proprietary, for practical and regulatory reasons. this doesn't really effect my threat model, as i assume that anything a sophisticated attacker could glean from an ADSP backdoor they could much more easily glean through the radio traffic itself. the TZ (arm trustzone) firmware is also proprietary, for technical reasons. iirc it's signed by ARM, but this is just off the top of my head, so don't quote me! or do, i'm not your dad...

 

hope i don't get crucified for self promotion, stigmata would be hard to explain to my folks

 

i am tempted so strongly to build a FOSS laptop, with either an ARM or RISCV processor, and a model f ssk. you can buy brand new model f's from modelfkeyboards.com, but they're like $400.

it would be so dope to build something like that, with maybe a 3d-printed case, but i can't justify that sort-of investment on a whim, lol.

please, help me justify a very, very poor financial decision.

was updating my coreboot tree, rebuild after rebuild, etc

pretty sure i nuked one of the flash chips on the motherboard by keeping the clip connected (and powered & all) while powercycling.

i got away with it before, but i guess i rolled snake eyes this time. those are the bad ones, right?

edit: now that i think about it, i was able to read both flash chips without issue, and reflash them. it might just be a firmware issue, after all!

 

had a long-running transcode script running on my t440p while closed -- sustained 90+ C for over a day. speakers are fucked now... lmao

guess who needs to go on ebay again
