You need to manually download a color profile data (getweb script) though. Make sure there's /usr/share/foo2zjs/icm/hp-cp1025-rgb-392-bpp1.icm file.
If you tried to use foo2zjs in Fedora / Redhat or similar distro, they now require additional configuration with obscure error message: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FoomaticRipRejectsUnk...
If you have MATRIX PRINTER, please consider running GhostScript regression tests per release (twice a year).
The developer is looking for volunteers.
Otherwise upcoming GhostScript version will remove widely used LQ850 driver and you won't be able to use it in the next Debian/Ubuntu/whatever.

With 64GB HBM2e RAM physically, it's locked down to 8GB with the fuse.
2 months ago, a paper describing security bypass w/ code execution appeared, and a driver patch released a month ago.
You could get these "3090 64GB" for $250 or so only. Now they are $700+.
What's baffling is that hardly any major English tech publisher wrote about this hack of a century!

Recent LLM tests @ Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1vlwjr8/i_teste...
It was initially assumed that the RAM is also binned and the rest of it is bad in one way or another (doesn't work on expected frequencies, flip bits, etc). On 8GB (64GB) model we haven't seen bad RAM so far. The tests are all OK. 10GB versions supposedly have 80GB of physical memory, but only 40GB is unlockable (don't know the reason).
Upgrade to PCIe 2.0 16x possible. 2.0 4x is a software unlock with a driver patch, 16x requires capacitors soldering.
For some reason Windows handled increased memory consumption the least gracefully.
Many people continued to use v1.2 which use regular files.
V2.1 ended up using pread/pwrite nowz it's fine now.
The issue continued for 3 years more or less.
But these are mmaped, I don't know any easy debugging or monitoring solution besides writing kprobes/systemtap hooks.
How would you debug it?
systemd is a stewarded FOSS, which means there's a team behind it, who are getting paid, and develop this software with release cycles, backwards compatibility guarantees, architectural decisions, and such.
These people know better. I usually only prepare fixes for FOSS one-man-show which have little to no maintenance, otherwise I prefer professionals to handle it. Sometimes "suggestion" PR is worse than a triaged issue IMO.

It's my third attempt to make my regular Linux desktop less disk-chatty. This is a huge issue for btrfs and for COW FS in general, because they have massive write amplification for small and frequent writes (38,7 TB written to my idle desktop SSD in 2 years).
If you're interested, here are my findings this time so far:
- workrave: 60 second stat sync https://github.com/rcaelers/workrave/pull/717
- kde klipper: saves to disk on every copy, even if permanent storage is disabled https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501030
- kde plasmashell: saves qt shader cache each time notification popup disappears https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523805
- bitwarden firefox extension: tries to connect to desktop application every 10 seconds, writes about every failure to browser's WebStorage 14+ KB https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/22192
- firefox datareporting/glean: very chatty .mozilla/firefox/xxx/datareporting/glean/db/data.safe
- ipfs: writes every received DHT announce to disk, 20 GB in 3 hours https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/constant-writes-to-datastore-log/20316
- mailcow: redis saves data every 5 minutes https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/pull/7405When I asked CyberShadow why, he replied that CD-ROM case claims Win9x compatibility, that's why any new update should not break it.
Just install "Chess VCL" component, drop it onto the form, compile, and you're ready to go!
If your board needs custom build, it's probably because there's no SPI flash with the bootloader. The board can't describe itself.
This could be solved https://sd-card-images.johang.se/ style: single kernel+rootfs OS image, with the small board-specific bootloader + dtb, which you concatenate to the OS image.
The majority of ARM SBCs can boot UEFI (TianoCore) as a u-boot payload, there are ports for many SoCs/platforms. Raspberry Pi has a port. Libre.computer ships Amlogic and Rockchip with UEFI out of the box.
Nobody just usually bothers because modern u-boot handles all aspects of boot process, incl. display and user interaction. Unless you want Windows on ARM, or want to use beefy server/desktop hardware (ARM non-SBC, non-embedded) with external PCI-e boards which may want to run its embedded .efi rom, you probably don't want UEFI.
I don't get it when the software author choses the license they don't see suitable in full, only because it's one of a common FOSS licenses, and than wiggle around it. There's nothing wrong with making open-source with exception, or dual licenses, or non-free software.
>you can do whatever you want with my work except profit.
GPL doesn't prohibit that.

I've seen https://v-it.org/ here on hackernews. Same idea, different wording.

Just an application which emulates the card over NFC. No need to Google Play Services. It's been this way for ≈10 years I guess.
These GPUs physically have 64GB RAM but locked to 8GB RAM. You can unlock all 64GB RAM with a patched driver.
They used to cost $200-250 but now cost $700+.
No applications except regular ssh client. Needs an SSH connection on the client as well though.
And don't forget about counterfeit products (which look like original but different in firmware) and supply chain attack vectors, which are really, really common.
If you want to buy something as simple as a feature phone, going to a store with 10 of them will give you at least 1/10 chance to buy a phone with a trojan/backdoor.
Every time I see posts like this one and go into comments, everyone in the comments treat writing as a hobby which they would like to turn into work and earn money from, more or less. And I suppose the words "writing" and "blogging" associate with the community around themselves in their minds, not with the text information per se.
I'm writing technical articles (blog posts) my whole life most of the time as a result of me learning something new, to structure the information on some topic for myself and others.
If it's a research, I make a post with all the information and final result of it in public, primarily for myself and sometimes for others, because 95% of the time it's not secret and there's no point to store it privately.
If it's a helpful information (software: unofficial bugfix, hacky workaround, poorly documented feature somewhere, etc), I want it to be searchable/indexed, only that.
I don't care about attribution, about who reads my writing (be it me, my friends, people I don't know, or AI), I have no incentive to push (as in post here or on social networks) or promote these articles in any way. I don't want people to get back to my site, to subscribe to it, or to build a community around it.
If the user types "How do I solve issue X" and by a mere coincidence I solved and documented it, I don't care if the user gets the solution from my website, from the scrape & repost websites, or from AI agent which scraped the site. If this helps the user to fix the issue or to learn something new, every way is fine for me!
But if you're writing for yourself, articles with multimedia, or want to use advanced features, no platform provides anything close to what you can do on your website.
Take a look at https://ciechanow.ski/bicycle/ for example.
