Yeah I noticed informing me of mistakes it made during sessions. It felt really off when it informed me of a mistake it almost made but caught it before it landed.

Not sure of the current progress with breeding and cultivation, but there is a naturally occuring caffeine-free coffee plant. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffea_charrieriana

If you don't mind a baking soda toothpaste, then another option is Trader Joe's. They made a baking soda & fluoride toothpaste that is SLS free. Been using it for a number of years now... Though it's been briefly discontinued and is slated to be back later this year.

Superhots also produce capsaicin in the fruit, unique from non-superhots. Removing the pith from a ghost, reaper, etc., will significantly reduce the heat but still contain a lot of capsaicin from vesicles present in the fruit itself.

Anytime I hear sundials, I now think of my trip to Jantar Munter in Jaipur, India. Home to world's largest sundial, accurate to two seconds.

Also home to many other instruments of measurement, absolutely fascinating.

I've been drinking hop tea and hop seltzer from HopLark. It's not trying to replicate beer. I like that with the exception of some limited releases, they're just carbonated tea and hops or carbonated water and hops. Unsweetened and have both caffeinated and caffeine free variants.

My favorite so far has been a spruce tip tea with sabro hops.

I haven't quit alcohol consumption entirely, but I limit it to once every few months if I feel like having one, typically with family.

Also working on just making it myself, with tea, hop pellets, and using a "drink mate" (like sodastream but can carbonate any liquid, not just water) to carbonate it.

I think so. This was posted a few weeks ago ahead of the 248 release. http://0pointer.net/blog/unlocking-luks2-volumes-with-tpm2-f...

I'm gonna try it out once my Solo V2 arrives.

The title sparked a memory of someone using a flatbed scanner and some software back in 2002 to extract audio from scanned images of record tracks.

Results were interesting though fairly unintelligible. Practicality aside, wonder if/how much this method could be improved today?

The homebrew scene for dreamcast is impressive and still surprisingly active.

Good list of emulators available for the DC too, though in various states of functionality: https://dcemulation.org/index.php?title=Emulators

Mentioned below by another commenter, for what this feature is, it makes sense to keep it opt-out. A technical user can figure out how to change it, while the target audience of it, would not (or not as easily).

Could make a subdirectory, subdomain, or even different domain e.g. runnaroo.tech that allows you to keep the user-friendly defaults on runnaroo.com, and more technical users could go to an alt location with a different set of defaults, and perhaps more features exposed by default.

Similar to having a mobile, lite, or no-js version of a site.

While I wouldn't call it polished, at the very least, the PrawnOS image will give you a quick way to get a Debian-based distro onto the c201 to customize as you see fit.

I noted above it uses Linux-Libre, so the internal WiFi does NOT work with the distro "as is". EVERY other component is supported though. If you need internal WiFi instead of external USB WiFi, you can modify the build script to use the regular Linux kernel & add the non-free Debian repos to sources.list. I've done it before and it works fine.

The default image when you build or download it puts you at a command prompt where you can either use it "as is", run a script to install a pre-configured desktop environment(XFCE, GNOME, or LXQT), or custom install things yourself.

GNOME was just recently added. The RK3288 processor in the c201 is now supported by Panfrost for 2D/3D acceleration, but I think it still has a bit to go before GNOME is completely usable. If save the resources if you're doing development.

4k output should be available soon, just tested patches for that. Admittedly 2160p was much smoother. Eventually there will also be hardware video decoding. The RK3288 has a full Hantro G1 VPU and drivers for that were recently merged into the kernel.

For alternatives, there is a decent list here that might be better suited to your needs: https://github.com/nikolas-n/GNU-Linux-on-Asus-C201-Chromebo...

Do you have that running Linux via Crouton or have wiped the C201P? Or something else?

I just use mine for fun/learning. Have it flashed w/ Libreboot and running PrawnOS (Debian / Linux-libre based) which keeps seeing a nice amount of improvements. https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS

Thanks for confirming my suspicions with this comment. Was just messing with an internal Zip-750 drive. I tried both SATA to IDE adapters and an internal USB to IDE adapter. I tried with two different drives using Ubuntu 20.04 and jazip.

With both drives there was a brief moment the the zip disk showed up, once. Then never again.

I eventually just purchased a PCIe IDE controller card and that works as expected.

Lubuntu plans to support Wayland in the 20.10 release by porting Openbox to Mir, which supports Wayland. https://lubuntu.me/lubuntu-development-newsletter-9/

This is who they're working with: https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/2019/09/slimbook-to-provide...

This is exciting for quite a few boards and notebooks, notably the new Pinebook Pro (RK3399) and the Asus C201 (RK3288) both benefiting from the Panfrost driver.

I wrote a bit a while back on Reddit regarding my experience with the C201 and Linux: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/bebm93/linux_on_asus...

Now with open 3D acceleration, the last remaining bit of proprietary code on the C201 is the WiFi chip. Not sure how much of an impact it'll have, but when Cypress bought Broadcom's wireless division it released the datasheet for this and many other chips (PDF): https://www.cypress.com/file/298141/download

Alyssa Rosenzweig is making amazing progress with Panfrost working at Collabora. Panfrost is now working with GNOME, two months ahead of schedule!: https://rosenzweig.io/blog/gnome-meets-panfrost.html

Not sure about other browsers, but Chrome will ignore certificate pins if the cert provided chains to local trust anchor.

From: http://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/security-faq#...

"Chrome does not perform pin validation when the certificate chain chains up to a private trust anchor. A key result of this policy is that private trust anchors can be used to proxy (or MITM) connections, even to pinned sites. “Data loss prevention” appliances, firewalls, content filters, and malware can use this feature to defeat the protections of key pinning.

We deem this acceptable because the proxy or MITM can only be effective if the client machine has already been configured to trust the proxy’s issuing certificate — that is, the client is already under the control of the person who controls the proxy (e.g. the enterprise’s IT administrator). If the client does not trust the private trust anchor, the proxy’s attempt to mediate the connection will fail as it should."

Oh, good to know. Thanks for sharing that info!

Yup, it supports Weston. Possibly more as it does say it supports some Wayland compositors, but only mentions Weston in the example: https://panfrost.freedesktop.org/building-panfrost-mesa.html

There's a Chromebook, the Asus C201 that will benefit from this. I'm currently running PrawnOS (Debian-based) on it. Wrote a bit about that on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/bebm93/linux_on_asus...

Basically this DRM driver plus the companion Panfrost Gallium3D driver merged into mesa 19.1 will enable blob-free 3D graphics on the C201 and other devices that use this chipset.

Right now the DRM kernel driver does not support X11, so it'll be a few more releases before I can really take advantage of it. I have successfully installed it along with and run the kmscube demo outside of X. Pretty exciting development.

With Panfrost, every component of the C201 except the BCM4354 WiFi chip becomes libre. Cypress bought out a division of Broadcom and started releasing datasheets on a bunch of WiFi chips including the BCM4354, which they now tag as CYW4354. (PDF: https://www.cypress.com/file/298141/download)

Not sure if that makes it easier or any more realistic to get blob-free firmware for this chip. I can only hope.

This sparked a memory of the LS-240 SuperDisk drives that could format a 1.44 MB floppy to hold 32 MB. Of course only usable on an LS-240 drive, and the entire disk had to be re-written any time a change was made.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk#History

If the app is hard coded it shouldn't trust another cert. Note though that browsers, like Chrome, ignore cert pinning if the cert chains up to a locally trusted CA. So the answer is more "It Depends".

EDIT: Spaced on the fact this is a phone app. While Chrome on Windows ignores certificate pins, I'm unsure if this also applies to Android / iOS root stores as well.

I particularly like the audio courses from Language Transfer. They create rules that help you transfer words from English into a destination language.

For example, words ending in ation in English, will end in ación in Spanish. Further, these words are also 'ar' verbs.

Conversation -> Conversación -> Conversar

I've found it quite helpful, especially in conjunction with Duolingo. At some point, I realized what I learned via Language Transfer was applying more as I progressed in Duolingo.

Besides Tab, Diet Coke from a fountain contains saccharin: https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2008/04/17/Coca-Cola-w...

(Trying to find another source, I believe Diet Pepsi from a fountain does as well, to extend shelf life.)

Careful with the USB-C on the Switch as its current implementation is not compliant. (Still agree its adoption is on the rise).
