I think this #xz thing is gonna go down as the day #FLOSS officially lost its innocence.
You know what I hope comes out of this moment of sincere sadness for those who care about this stuff?
A sense that we will no longer be abused by Megacorps who build on the backs of our work but can't be arsed to help fund that work despite the fact that literally THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF THEIR BUSINESS depends on it.
Do you think #google, #amazon or #facebook could exist in their current form without oodles of super high quality free software to run their server swarms on?
Because they can't. For those of us old enough to remember, just imagine "the cloud" if every virtual server required a Solaris or SCO license.
If you've given all you can give, walk away. Open source is wonderful and amazing but you are human and your health and well being is more important. I don't care what falls down as a result.
#embedded #linux heads: i'm trying to change the boot animation on my #pocketchip. i can change the plymouth theme and update-initramfs and it shows the theme i picked. i cannot for the life of me preview plymouth without rebooting the computer, trying to debug plymouthd under x simply fails to use graphical mode and all i can previeiw is the fallback text boot splash. but on a real boot it works fine. help me not reboot my device a hundred times to test new themes

i actually found two roms, one larger than the other, but so far i can only get the second one to do this
development documents. this mentions the rom is for both models ("Mac512/Unitron 1024") but i don't think the sources in them are complete
the source i found has several floppy images, but also some folders that seem to be from different floppy images destructively extracted into a FAT type system so some of it might be lost
