I’ve had a Pine Time for just over 2 years [1]. About a year ago I had a band break and replaced it from a spare PineTime and now I just had another break. Having the band only last one year isn’t that great, but it’s fortunate that the break only affects the inner layer […]

I previously blogged about buying a refurbished Hisense 65u80g 8K TV with the aim of making it a large monitor [1] and about searching for a suitable video card for 8k [2]. After writing the second post I bought an Intel Arc B580 which also did a maximum of 4096*2160 resolution. This post covers many […] I have had some graphics hangs on my HP z640 workstation which seem to always be after about 4 days of uptime, in one instance running Debian kernel 6.16.12+deb14+1 I got the following kernel error: kernel: amdgpu 0000:02:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* [CRTC:58:crtc-0] flip_done timed out Then I got the following errors from kwin_wayland: kwin_wayland_wrapper[19598]: kwin_wayland_drm: Pageflip […] HP z840 Dead Slot I just had an issue with the HP z840 system I’m using as a build server [1]. I had to take it to a site that was about 20 minutes drive away and after getting there it didn’t work and just gave 6 beeps and the red LED on the power […] Informative video about the way corporations charge different rates based on location and even type of device used on the web site [1]. This should be illegal everywhere! Bruce Schneier with Heather Adkins and Gadi Evron wrote an insightful post about AI Hacking and the Future of Cybersecurity, the future seems grim [2]. Slaughterbots is […] I have just converted to the Internode NBN500 plan which is now the same price as the NBN100 plan. I’m in a HFC area so they won’t let me get fiber to the home (due to Malcolm Turnbull breaking the NBN to help Murdoch) so I’m limited to what HFC can do. I first tried […] Just over a year ago I configured my blog to only allow signed in users to comment to reduce spam [1]. This has stopped all spam comments, it was even more successful than expected but spammers keep registering accounts. I’ve now got almost 5000 spam accounts, an average of more than 10 per day. I […] Werdahias wrote an informative blog post about Dark Mode for QT programs on non-QT environments (mostly GNOME based), we need more blog posts about this sort of thing [1]. Astral Codex Ten has an interesting blog post about the rise of Christianity, trying to work out why it took over so quickly [2]. Frances Haugen’s […] The FOSS Android program for communicating with smart watches is Gadget Bridge which now has support for the Colmi P80 [1]. I first blogged about the Colmi P80 just over a month ago [2]. Now I have a couple of relatives using it happily on Android with the proprietary app. I couldn’t use it myself […] Dimitri John Ledkov wrote an informative blog post about self encrypting disks and UEFI with Linux [1]. This Coffeezilla video highlights an interesting scam, run a broker for day traders and don’t execute trades, just be the counterparty for every trade and rely on day traders losing [2].
