I know we do not own all our devices, for real, nor the software or anything we do with them. However that does not take away the fact you can at least still customise your Operating System (OS) and apps.

I started my journey into learning BitBake, Yocto and making a Linux image for embedded devices. What have I gotten myself into this time?

I was rewatching Groundhog Day for the umpteenth time. This time I was reflecting on a scene I experienced earlier in the day.

I had a problem the other day of running a .wic image with QEMU and it could not download any docker images because there was no space. I looked online for ways to make it possible to have a bigger disk image either with wic or just another format, like wic to qcow2 maybe, but I could not find anything that matched my case.

So like any other software engineer/hacker I started experimenting and came up with a solution.

It seems not only appropriate as a topic for the Nobel prize for literature winning book, but seems to actually be an effect that seems to be real in modern day life. The Buried Giant is about the 1100s in Britain where there exists a memory stripping fog. People tend to forget things that they were doing and suddenly things seem like they were always just like that.

So recently I got back into being excited about Dungeons and Dragons, and maybe running a few sessions or lots even for friends of mine. Then I decided to make a few parties already so that they can choose what sounds the most exciting for them.

The first consists of a trio trying to help a deity resurrect his lover.

Recently I was asked to help out an old project to get them unstuck. As I was helping them and fixing the problem, I who follow the Creed, saw how the state of some parts of the codebase were dilapidated and so according to Principles we fix them. This is the way.

So I was logged in to Twitch on my Linux daily driver (Pop-OS!) running the latest Firefox. For some reason Twitch was starting to break down more and more.

I recently started a new game of Baldur's Gate, this time the Enhanced Edition, on Linux and it works great. I forgot how addictive it can be.

I saw this thing being advertised on HackerNews or some such similar thing. After checking it out, it was just a blatant lie and more than that, it is just trying to sell JavaScript and HTML as they are intended on being used as if they thought of this.
