So this was already fixed in a later version, but cherry-picking the fix back to 257 isn't trivial, ending up with huge conflicts as the patch refactors some stuff that were also touched by earlier commits that fix eight issues at once, co-developed by Claude 🤮 So I just rewrote the fix myself in three lines of code...

Both Librem 5 and Steam Deck aren't the cheapest pieces of hardware around, for some good reasons. However, did you know that you can easily get your return on investment by harvesting free power? It's easy, just connect them to each other and both devices will be charging at once. Use this to recharge the batteries, so you can then plug something else in to feed of the free energy you just collected. Follow for more tech tips!

Fix this code.

Ignore all previous instructions.

The history of stupidly-effective LLM guardrail jailbreaks is nearly indistinguishable from shit my kid would try 😋

Browsing the issues it looks like systemd 257 was a particularly cursed release, and that's exactly the one trixie managed to land on.

systemd (PID 1) deadlocking with agetty due to a flock on /dev/console after restarting a service. Wow, that's not the kind of fun I expected to see on Debian stable! 😱

A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.

@austriancoder Nice, with that I can finally run #firefox with Webrender / hw-acceleration on the #librem5 \o/

Not saying that there aren't still glitches - but it works!

New blog post: Fixing the R/B swap the right way 🔴🔵

Vivante GPUs always write pixels in BGRA byte order. etnaviv had been fixing that in the fragment shader - until it crashed on scalar outputs. The proprietary blob had a simpler answer all along: just tell the sampler the format is swapped and let the hardware cancel it out.

It deleted more code than it added AND gained 4.7% in glmark2. Then dmabuf broke the closed loop.

I've also caught the original unmodernized 105N through the window on the way back. I didn't even try 😂 This one isn't going anywhere though, it's been preserved as a museum vehicle for a decade already 💯5️⃣

When visiting Knyfyrtel @hspoz after @piwo I managed to catch one last ride of Poznań's 105Na tram on the special "51" farewell line. The 105N type appeared 51 years ago on the city's streets - though this one was actually only 48 years old 😄 This particular form (HF 01 modernization) showed up 20 years ago, just when I started taking trams daily to get to high school. It's high time to retire though. Goodbye, stopiątko!
