#PhotoOfTheDay Observatories atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii, combining two of my passions - astronomy and Hawaii. :) Elevation close to 12,000', which is impressive as you come up from sea level. Also the only time I've hiked in Hawaiian snow! It's somehow fitting that these observatories are in an otherworldly, somewhat Mars-like setting. #photo #photography #astronomy #hawaii #MaunaKea

After 2 weeks of effort, the #GPU decoder COMPILES!

...The screen is green.

But hey, I actually know how to debug this :D It's almost as if 10 years of #debugging and #ReverseEngineering paid off!

We just shipped some major refactoring in our initramfs, removing some of the oldest tech-debt in the distro and finally making it possible to boot without first finding and unpacking the "initramfs-extra" archive!

This new unified-initramfs behaviour is now the default for most devices, and may lead to a slight boottime speedup!

We're hopeful this doesn't break anything, but if you do run into issues please go check out the tracking thread here https://postmarketos.org/edge/2024/10/31/Recent-changes-might-affect-booting/
