Compiled the zsbl, compiled edk2 - both with the properly pinned DTB. Now I just need _a linux_... xD That should be fun.

"zsbl" means "Zero Stage Bootloader" and is the very, very first piece of the puzzle to boot the Milk-V Pioneer - which I now own. user@BIGBOI:/opt/zsbl$ du -h zsbl.* 132K zsbl.bin 944K zsbl.dis 772K zsbl.elf 240K zsbl.map It feels stupidly weird to just... compile your bootloader. This is literally the first thing that gets invoked after the CPU; it is what bootstraps the initial hardware and eventually goes to EDK2 / u-boot. o.o This is probably as close to an IPL as Ill ever get. xD

Most people: Oh no, my Facebook got hacked! PANIC! This lad: Oh no, my Facebook got hacked! Welp, I'll make it a song instead. I SWEAR THIS GUY JUST FUCKING RULES HOLY SHIT #tunestr

Hey @GrapheneOS - quick question! Have you patched CVE-2025-48561? Thanks. =)

TIL: There are FreeBSD NVIDIA drivers. o.o

Index of /XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/580.105.08

... I was not ready for that. Also, Wayland and KDE work there too. Holy shit, I feel like I've been living under a rock - although I really haven't. Dude this BSD rabbithole goes fucking deep O.O

So while looking through proxy tools like clash-rs, sing-box and friends, I came across Mihomo. The repo says it's 100% python, the README is about Honkai Star Rail. ...but check the branches, and you'll see something odd. Within there hides a Go application that is the _actual_ project. xD Pretty cheeky hiding, yeah, but the kind of software I am looking at is for evading censorship and alike - so... weird meassures are to be expected. Slightly shady and I am still intrigued. This stuff is mainly targeted at China users but... hey, who says I can't deploy that here, and make some good use of my ProtonVPN connection? =) This'll be fun to explore. One day, my whole network will have gone underground. Will take me quite a while to get there tho...

I have a new reason to have "an issue" with Rust. Not really, but see: - OPNSense is an appliance based on FreeBSD, - it disables the FreeBSD repos for stability, - it provides source-ports to add some individual packages when needed, - among those is fish, - fish is written in Rust, - Rust is based on LLVM, - LLVM is fucking gigantic. So this source port literally went from LLVM into Rust into Fish and took THREE FUCKING HOURS XD. Let alone the disk usage; easily 15GB for the entire build tree. @.@ I hope I never have to update this... because otherwise I am just gonna cry. Really, if elvish didn't have it's flickery odd behaviour in the Windows Terminal, which IS my primary terminal, I'd just use that...

That Sophos is now running OPNSens. Time to learn a new thing!

This lad's story sure aged like milk... Meta, OpenAI, Microsoft and basically any "big tech" could not even remotely care less. I doubt today's Reddit would do what it did back then - heck, not even WordPress...
