Code can be lovely
In the era of LLM AI chat bots, this was suggested by ChatGPT as a solution for me to upgrade from Fedora 42 to 43. See this discussion for the context. TL;DR. I moved my Citrix application from native to toolbox (Fedora s version of distrobox), and it works well! Here is how I did it [ ]
I ve recently upgraded my home WiFi setup with Ubiquiti (UniFi) access points (I bought a U7 Pro AP). All is good, except that UniFi doesn t support WPS. On the other hand, my old Canon TS3150 printer can only be setup using WPS. Now, it wouldn t have been an issue, had I not changed the SSID. [ ]
TL;DR. In the UK, you cannot connect the ADT alarm panel with any other devices or services that aren t ADT-certified. Z-Wave Secondary Controller This is the first solution that I tried. Now I no longer say it doesn t work in other regions than the UK, but I also can t verify that myself. Full disclaimer that [ ]
I have this weird issue where my employer s remote virtual desktop is configured in English (UK), and it works well in Windows with UK keyboard layout. However, if I try to connect to the same instance from Linux (or Chrome OS), with the same hardware, it would appear as if I m typing from a US [ ]
感觉这是重复每隔几年就要进行的练习，这一次把Blog从Amazon Lightsail VPS迁移到了甲骨文云（Oracle Cloud）的虚拟机。 很多人白嫖甲骨文云（确实有非常丰厚的免费额度），我之前架设的Termux的APT镜像也是用的甲骨文的免费资源。但是最近发现免费账户基本allocate不到资源了，所以填了个信用卡升级到了Pay As You Go账户级别，突然就能allocate到VM了。虽然是付费账户，但只要还是在免费额度以内，并不会产生费用所以其实无所谓。 甲骨文云的定价真的是白菜价（免费啊！），开了个四核24G内存的VM来作为我主要的VPS，其中一个用途就是用来跑这个博客（部落格）网站。促使我从Amazon…
There is no support for BananaPi M5 from Home Assistant OS, which leaves me either the container or the core version. Originally I was going to use the container image, however, it needs too much disk space (7GB was not enough as it maxed out my onboard storage). I went for Home Assistant Core instead, [ ]
Happy Chinese New Year (Year of Dragon/Loong) to you all! A New Year s surprise from Google. The latest version of Chrome OS Flex finally supports Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 to an extent that can be used as a daily driver. Hardware Compatibility To clarify, I m using an original (first-gen) Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 [ ]
2026年7月25日注：微信有Linux native的客户端了，不要再Wine了：https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.tencent.WeChat 这两天花了一点点时间来优化我的KDE Plasma 5桌面，顺便想起来Wine这个软件而且发现居然已经上架Flathub了！微信很长一段时间都能用Wine在Linux上跑起来，结合网上的一些优化教程，这里总结写一个2024版本的手记。 任何非Ubuntu发行版估计都已经自带支持flatpak而且配置好了flathub源了，flatpak简单来说就是Linux桌面软件的一种分发形式，相较于AppImage的最大区别就是有沙盒（sandbox）一定程度上保护宿主系统。 如果你只是对微信感兴趣，是否通过flatpak安装wine并不重要，我只是喜欢sandboxed wine,…
距离上次写与Chrome OS/Chromium OS相关的帖子又有一段时间了。之前提到了怎么用Brunch项目来运行原味的Chrome OS，奈何Brunch的内核和我的新笔电（Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360）一直不是很兼容，主要两个痛点： 网上有人提到了FydeOS，于是这个周末抽了点时间来试试。剧透一下，感觉真不错！ 官网教程说的非常详细，基本上就是先下载最新的镜像文件，不需要解压缩，用推荐的balena etcher烧录到U盘就可以从U盘启动。记得事先划分一个空白分区（至少30G）用来双启动FydeOS！ 安装器也是简单易用，基本上一路Next就可以，当然分区要选好。启动引导器我选择了最后一项Do Nothing，因为我打算自己修改GRUB2的配置选项。这里贴上我的/etc/grub.d/40_custom供参考： 重启在GRUB2菜单选择FydeOS即可！…
My old ODROID-U3 has been giving me quite some headaches. Its old USB 2.0 ports and 100Mbps Ethernet port are also very limiting in 2023. Its power supply is not the best (not an uncommon issue with HardKernel s products, certainly not uncommon among the older generation of single board computers). A hardware upgrade is therefore [ ]
