sudden sound glitching after rebooting the laptop like a software update borked the linux sound interface. hope a kid didn't drop it. #thinkPad

So maybe someone on fedi can help me here, but after updating my #ThinkPad #T14 #BIOS to 1.17, #fedora can no longer #suspend normally and freezes and requires a hard power-off each time. I tried some #grub stuff, many suggested fixes I found on the internet and a newer kernel (6.18 instead of 6.17) but nothing worked. So I think it may be a #Lenovo issue.

Thanks!

#zed remote dev + waypipe is a really cool combination that makes hacking on Rust GUI applications from my 10 y/o #Thinkpad actually feasible. All the building and running happens on my desktop over tailscale. #linux

This obviously can be adapted to any editor or just run from a terminal. Here's the code for the zed task if anyone is interested: https://github.com/Fingel/gelly/commit/d83b56e85c914b9bdd7372f3af6685295ee313ca

Why did nobody tell me earlier about the middle-mouse-button + keyboard-nipple = mousewheel-like-scrolling feature on thinkpads?
Anyways, i'll use that extensively from now on!

@rubenwardy
ThinkPad? My ThinkPad from 2019 had the exact same problem, as did my partner's from 2016. Once you have access to small screwdrivers, open the laptop, disconnect the battery, wait a minute, press the reset button, reconnect the battery, and start the laptop. After a few seconds into the boot process, connect the power cable.

Well, that worked!

There is only one problem with this laptop. At this point, I'm just ganna consider this 'Expected Behavior'. #WhiskersWednesday #CatsOfMastodon #KittensOfMastodon #FediCats #FediKittens #ThinkPad

"20 Years of Digital Life, Gone in an Instant, thanks to Apple"

https://hey.paris/posts/appleid/

I really feel for this guy. This was me 10 years ago: having my entire digital life wrapped up around #Apple's feckless and capricious "tender mercies." I wasn't an author or dev or anything, and I never encountered anything quite that disastrous, but it could have happened at any time.

The process of removing Apple's many tendrils from my digital life was long and somewhat painful, although accelerated by 1) Apple abandoning my MacBook after only four years of OS updates, 2) Apple abandoning my mom's iMac after 7 years (not as egregious), 3) accidentally spilling tea on my beloved 2014 MBA in 2019,and 4) not being able to afford to replace all that hardware 😄, 5) and buying an old #Thinkpad in 2019 ("just for writing!") that became my gateway drug to using Linux and other FOSS OSes full-time. :)

P.S., Maybe don't link to his blog post if your toot contains 0% compassion for the guy. People aren't object lessons, they're people.

Now that I finally feel comfortable on #mastodon, and have a general idea of what I want to post, I think it's time for my first #introduction!

I'm tpaau, a #Polish guy with #autism. I'm interested in #cybersecurity, #privacy, the #ScpFoundation, #airsoft, and #cats. I will post mainly about my interests, projects I'm working on, and related stuff.

On my #GooglePixel 7 I use #GrapheneOS, and my #ThinkPad T480 runs #secureblue with my custom #desktopshell (https://github.com/tpaau/dots).

Fotema goes brrr on 200GB of photos, on my good old T470.

Do I know people with a Thinkpad E14 Gen 7?

They seem to basically be the same as the T14, but cheaper? What do I miss?

Sometimes old projects are back. Made some updates for my utility, which is used to control brightness of a display, connected to the #Thinkpad X220/X230 via the AGAN X230 board (from AliExpress):

- Since I'm using Awesome WM and don't want to write a logic to change brightness on the Lua, I added the --increase-brightness / --decrease-brightness options to change it by one step.

- Add option --percent to display current brightness level not as internal value from board, but as percentage.

- Update man page, add ChangeLog.

For now it is tested under #FreeBSD 14.1-14.3.
