Status report again!
Sitting in front of the wood stove in my country cottage. It’s nice
and quiet. Meanwhile it seems NordicFuzzCon is going on in Malmö.
4,000 furries. I had no idea! That seems fun!
On the other hand I just read that at least 10,000 were protesting in
Malmö today against the Israel-Palestine conflict. I’ve seen the much
smaller protest … ⌘ Read more

Presentation at Sundsgymnasiet school
I was invited by Mats, a teacher at the Sundsgymnasiet school in
Vellinge, to give a talk to his students, all three years of the
Technical Programme. Sundsgymnasiet is an upper secondary school,
probably what in the US would be called senior highschool, with
students normally starting in the year they turn 16 and finishing
at 19.
I didn’t know what to expect, really. Mats told me I could talk about
whatever I wanted, so of course I talked about … ⌘ Read more

Keyboard layouts
I’ve updated my article about keyboard layouts with XKB after 13
years!
https://hack.org/mc/writings/xkb.html
I’ve edited it so the focus is on the layouts if you just want to grab
them and don’t need any handholding. Also added Thinkpad layouts along
with the original HHKB layouts.
It now also includes instructions for use with the River and Sway
Wayland compositors as well as X11.
I will probably update it soon with some images of different Thinkpad
keyboards. ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net pretty nothing berger. The “blowout” was pretty tame coming from Linus kill yourself now. The world will be a better place” Torvold.
The issue was a dev making a “fix” that didn’t have a documented problem. They reused some specific low level functions they did not understand the reason they were made.

Friday is my day off from work, as usual. So when I’m typing this I’m
in front of the hackstation (not a battlestation, obviously) with my
third cup of coffee, writing an update again.
I’ve been doing these status updates on my Gemini log, but I’m
increasingly aware of the dropping amounts of traffic, so I’m thinking
about doing them on the blog instead, but see below for some thoughts
on Gemini.
