It felt very weird to be on a plane that had a server with Nginx and Drupal installed on it. According to http headers at least, and those rarely lie. Definitely not a ground link, you aren't getting 5ms pings over satellite.
Their IFE system appears to serve MP3s ripped straight from iTunes (no DRM), with album metadata and such left intact. Is this legal? God only knows.

Last week, I started an Ableton Move track. Today, I finally finished it.
This is a thing I call "Fly on the Wall." Basically, I just wanted an excuse to use one of the Sliced Loops presets, which are in the latest Move beta, along with one of the new autofilters in combination with a second filter and LFO to make one of the included single-sample E-piano patches sound less boring.

I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅
More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟

This sounds like a question for @hackerboards
(Their website is a database about single-board computers, although from a quick check I couldn't find specifics on open boot processes
hackerboards.com/ )
I'm a month late but:
Rockchip RK3399 (e.g. Pine64 ROCKPro64) has zero blobs. As in, both DDR init and ATF are open (former in mainline u-boot, latter in mainline ATF).
RK3588 (e.g. Radxa ROCK 5B+) has open mainline ATF, but closed DDR init (runs once at boot) at the moment.
K3576 (e.g. Radxa ROCK 4D) also has open mainline ATF, but closed DDR init.
RK3566 *does* have something in ATF but I've heard it has problems. Closed DDR init as well though.
The things I learn, even at my age, simply by reading documentation are WILD!

Happy 21st Birthday @openstreetmap! 🍰 🥳 🎈
Gonna meet up with friends to celebrate, do some on-the-ground surveying, probably also walk around with a 360° cam to get imagery for @panoramax. And fly a drone, to get some nice aerial imagery while we're at it! 🗺️ 📷
And of course have some cake too 😂

Had a blast at our little #OpenStreetMap birthday celebration. 🍰 🧉
It ended up being too windy to fly drones for long. Instead we recorded street-level images for #panoramax and GPS tracks, in addition to doing a lot of live surveying – using a huge range of tools that allow contributing to OSM!
In no particular order we at least used: @everydoor, @streetcomplete, @MapComplete, @CoMaps, HOTOSM's ChatMap, iD and JOSM.
Having so many different ways of making contributions is a real feature.

I want to defend Wayland here and explain a crucial piece that I think people are missing...
The splitting of protocols in Wayland and compositor reimplementation were to allow for new form factors. It had to sacrifice the guarantee of all desktop app functionality being present to achieve that.
The idea (as I see it) was never to have 500 desktop compositors all trying to reimplement the same thing with slight differences. Iinstead, it was for 500 different interfaces for different platforms that are compatible with the same apps (e.g. desktop, laptop, phone, car screens, AR/VR, watch). Different form factors have totally different ways of dealing with interface, but share enough common features where it makes sense to have 1 base protocol and many other ones for device/form specific features.
Problem is, while in 2008-2016 we had a ton of new experimental UIs coming out on a semi-regular basis (that was the peak of the whole convergent phone/tablet craze, smartwatches started, fancy car UI, touch tables, early AR/VR) things have quieted down. The purpose of Wayland's insane modularity hasn't been visible to most people given it's almost always complained about in a desktop contest vs X11. But X11 was literally only designed for a desktop form factor and has been refined for that 1 purpose for decades!
As an example of different form factors, Wayland lets IVI (in-vehicle infotainment) systems work way better than Xorg could have. Desktop window layouting on that platform would inherently produce massive amounts of unnecessary complexity, and the ability to direct scanout saves on power/expensive compute. Automotive Grade Linux and COVESA maintain reference interfaces for cars so companies can iterate a ton faster. Wayland gives the app compatibility and they can make the system UI work with more flexibility and ease than an X11 window manager.
Take Linux Mobile too, the compositor can reliably enforce window layout and boundaries and composition. While this could technically be done with an X window manager and compositor, doing it with Wayland guarantees reliability as the app simply doesn't have a choice or room for error. Some things like drag and drop of toolbars doesn't make much sense on mobile given how small the screens are.
There's some interfaces where X11 is basically impossible to use. In AR/VR (where i am making a Wayland compositor) the concept of a screen simply does not exist. How is an app supposed to position itself when the very concept of 3D is not part of the protocol? In Wayland I don't have to implement the protocols that don''t work (e.g. layer shell) and therefore any apps that don't need it will be compatible..
Wayland has allowed for insane levels of flexibility, things that no other display server architecture can do reasonably. Total flexibility between app and screen, direct scanout without hacks, AR/VR support, etc.
Here's some fun and useful stuff that's been done with Wayland, stuff that X11 could never reasonably do:
Now, could Wayland devs maybe have distributed features across protocols better? Worked with app toolkit devs to ensure the protocols they made actually fit what the apps and compositors needed? Stopped bikeshedding (though imo many cases of "bikeshedding" are simply accounting for other form factors)? Absolutely!
My point here is simple: there was a reason for making it this modular, for not having a standard implementation. It wasn't just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn't some corporate takeover. It's good reasons that people using X11 on their desktop/laptop don't encounter. If we made something that wasn't universal, most apps wouldn't be compatible with it and therefore everything but the desktop form factor would lack apps.

Something to always be aware of: Many wheelchair users can stand and move around for brief periods of time. Not all wheelchair users are paralysed. Reasons for wheelchair use are numerous and varied.
Some wheelchair users choose not to stand in public because chances are they will be chastised and harassed if they do. With more awareness and understanding this risk can hopefully diminish over time.
For example, if a wheelchair user is able to retrieve their own wheelchair from the boot/trunk of their car, this does not mean they are ”faking”, and accusing them of this is ableist in itself.

A Windows sysadmin tool that more people should know about is the Magic Number Database at magnumdb.com
This database is great for pasting weird Windows hexadecimal errors into and finding out what they might mean.
Example from today, I got 0x80d02002 during a Windows update. Magnumdb tells me that this result corresponds to DO_E_DOWNLOAD_NO_PROGRESS, so now I know it's probably because an update server isn't responding.

Hey #fedihelp,
I'm struggling with an #Android #widget issue, and I was wondering if anyone had any clue.
Basically: I have a widget with a grid of items. I want the items in the grid to stick to a certain aspect ratio, regardless of the widget width. The height should dynamically adjust so it always stays that aspect ratio. Normally I would use a ConstraintLayout, but that doesn't seem supported on widgets and I cannot find any good alternative.
Code here: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
Thank you!

Peter Vágner reshared this.
I ended up settling on just hardcoding an exact size for each grid entry in "dp", then scaling it up until it "felt right" and going with that. It should work. I'm still annoyed Android widgets are so limiting but well, this will be good enough to ship I think.
github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
Now for a good night's rest and then some final cleanups after work. Then this can probably be shipped with the next release :)
