It seems that a few people are being misinformed about the deprecation of the X11 backend, usually because they read screeds from well-known bad faith actors.
The X11 backend being deprecated mainly means that we're not going to spend time implementing new features, like dmabuf, graphics offloading, or Vulkan support. X11 support will still exist until GTK4 is EOL, which will happen once GTK *6* is released. We're talking about a 20 years horizon, at this point…

FreeBSD laptop hardware support is *IMPROVING* 😏
Look at all this novel shit, it's 802.11g: https://www.phoronix.com/news/FreeBSD-On-Laptops-WiFi-802.11g
@piggz
The Tegra chip it uses lacks VFPv3 instructions so binary packages were all failing with SIGILL, but as this machine only has 512 Mb RAM, building software on it natively smells like a problem, right? Not at all — xbps-src makes cross-compilation really easy, you can do it on a more performant machine that you have even on one having a completely different CPU ISA!
It was a fun laptop for lightweight Gemini browsing until its display panel died 😢

Happy to announce that Void now officially supports a number of aarch64 UEFI devices, including:
- Apple Silicon macs (using components from @AsahiLinux)
- Thinkpad X13s (Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3-based laptop)
- Pinebook Pro by @PINE64 (Rockchip RK3399-based laptop)
New installation images are available for all supported platforms (x86_64, i686, aarch64, armv7l, and armv6l): https://voidlinux.org/news/2025/02/new-images.html
@piggz
Adopting Void to run on any hardware that already runs some sort of linux is relatively easy, there is a script that facilitates building of base root filesystem, which you can decompress on the target machine and make the bootloader it uses load Void's kernel and initial ramdisk image.
I have once made it work on Toshiba AC100 — one of the earliest ARM netbooks: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/110448217215369488

I'm currently looking for a remote software development job
I have plenty of experience making software using all sorts of languages, frameworks and tools. Tho I have the most experience with Rust, C++, C#. I also usually do native cross platform applications and backend.

Mebuk 4,1 is upgradable to 6 gigs of RAM: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.4-black-13-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
Or at least to 4 gigs — 2 Gb DDR2 SO-DIMMs shouldn't be hard to find at all!
It has 802.11n wireless card — potentially a very nice machine! 👍
@gemlog
And yes, likewise I'd still advise against using Signal or anything relying on phone number as primary means of identification — unless you are using an anonymous SIM-card and an actual burner phone — the one you've never used with a SIM-card that could be traced back to your real identity.
@gemlog
I usually just SSH/VPN home where I have an always-on VPN connection to one of Proton Secure Core nodes, the entry and exit IP-addresses of these are in different countries, e.g. my home VPN box is connected to a server in Switzerland, but I would be browsing from Poland — this makes tracing it back to the device I'm on nearly impossible, but yeah — this involves jumping through extra hoops.
@gemlog
> Moscow where there are no anonymous open wifi networks
True. At least it's illegal to allow people to use your open network without making them undergo identification (linking them to a phone number).
It's also illegal to have a SIM-card not tied to your real identity — but it doesn't mean you can't buy one 😏
I don't consider using a non-anonymous connection such a big problem — you can always hide yourself behind a chain of proxies.

@howrd It's an unfortunate coincidence, Andy is from Taiwan, where 88 is a lucky number.
He is also born in 1988.
