This will be my last time trying to comfort a Kingston drive during clonezilla copy.

The Kingston drive dropped again during copying a file. I immediately ordered a SN580 2TB ssd.

I'm done with this shit.

Reverse-Engineering a Disposable Vape (Arm Cortex-M0)

it's 3AM. I can't sleep, and I'm thinking why. I don't know which is the root cause. I'm thinking because I can't sleep? Or I can't sleep because I'm thinking? Or maybe both?

Anyway, I think my current job offers a perfect opportunity to let me escape reality. Remote work, meet with different people from different place and they are so nice. I mean, the job opportunity itself is very, emm, I don't know how say, but it's a rare opportunity to me.

After getting a job, I can feel both my mental health and my life getting better. Although I spent a little bit too much in the first month, I got a decent monocular and dip my toe into digiscoping and bird watching, I got a Intel nuc as my first linux not running as a vm, today I figured out how to watch anime on it, a decent progress towards daily drive machine. Feels like I'm packing myself up and I'm about to start a new life, a life after almost two years of self doubting and frustration without getting any mental issues (at least not diagnosed). But this is the typical timing when you're too happy that you didn't mentally prepare for a bad thing.

although I try my best to escape from any family arguments, but I still need to live in a house, and I don't have one. So as you guessed, my parents again become the most contributions to my mental issues. I'm trying to make myself not care about them, so my mental health can be better, but it's petty hard to do. I mean, you live with someone every day and try not to care? I definitely can't.

Writing at here, I actually don't what to say. Based on what I'm writing, the rational part of me has already run out of battery and died peacefully. I bet myself will be super embarrassing after wake up and find this piece of text. But f*ck it, it's for tomorrow me to worry.

Sometimes (especially now) I wonder, am I really don't have any issue with my mental health? Or is it just not get diagnosed? I don't know. I haven't figured out my medical insurance yet, so probably I won't worry about it in the next 6 months. Time will tell.

And... For now, I really need some sleep.

Good news from Voyager 1.

NASA teams were able to move code that was on a section of corrupted memory in one of the spacecraft's computers. Now it's sending back usable engineering data for the first time since November 2023.

They say you'll have more success with women as you get older. I'd like to file a complaint about that...

Legally speaking, bars in Norway can't serve you if you're "clearly inebriated". In practice, what this means is more along the lines of "if he can't walk, send him home".

New #Linux and #OpenSource News video!

In this one, #Gentoo says no to #AI, and Linus Torvalds finds it "hilarious", we also have a flaw in #Flatpak, plus #Cosmic showing off its theming capabilities, at least for GTK apps, plus some good enws for Linux gaming!

Running Tiny C Compiler in the Web Browser ... Thanks to #WebAssembly and a little JavaScript

Article: https://lupyuen.codeberg.page/articles/tcc.html#appendix-javascript-calls-tcc

No wonder Linux desktop can't beat Windows.

Today I was planning for my new Intel NUC. It comes with a 500G NVMe SSD (the bare bone version is out of stock) and 2x8GB RAM. So I'm planning on the disk layout.

The nuc13 can take one 2280 NVMe, one 2242 M.2 SATA SSD (NGFF), and one 2.5 inch SATA disk. Of course, I'm using openSUSE TW, so I got Btrfs out of the box. The question is what profile to use.

My first plan is to use 3 disks in raid 1. But then I found out the NGFF disk is really slow and hard to find quality ones. So I moved to 2, one NVMe and one SATA.

And then there is secure boot and LUKS things to handle. I want to use TPM to seal the LUKS key so I don't have to type password too many times. And if I'm going to add disk in the future, I should first let luks handle the disk, then add the mapped device to btrfs. Not mention the TPM issue. The TPM support is still under experimental stage, so every time there is a kernel update or bootloader update, the TPM can't unseal the key and I have to deal it manually.

Based on my current poort knowledge with those components, I think I'd just stick with the stock ssd, set up encryption and backup, then call it a day.

Despite I hate Windows, but this part Windows wins. Setup bitlocker is not that hard. And a system upgrade will not break it. And I need to see if I can get secure boot working on intel nuc with linux. If it's not working, then I have to type password anyway.

Well done, Silicon Valley!
