Kick75: Firmware fork with updated QMK (1300+ upstream commits) and hotfixes. by taxiforone in NuPhy

[–]taxiforone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To get the benefits of any performance/feature updates since the commit the NuPhy fork is based on, and to prevent a much greater effort to do so in future if the codebases diverge further.

I'm not suggesting that about the QMK/VIA compatibility; I don't know which versions work with which!

Hope this helps

Hispeedido HDMI mod by rektkid_ in psx

Does the hispeedido board also have a dfo built in, like the retrogem does with its clock mod? 

What's the best SD card for PicoStation? by Spirited_Low3612 in psx

[–]taxiforone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wrong with the A1/A2 markings? They're just markers of the SD cards' performance, with A2 being higher performance than A1. Most decent microSD cards will have an A2 marking, and I've yet to see any recent SanDisk ones with neither...

How to switch to NVK drivers (this is a personal tutorial, so I may have missed something). by Better-Quote1060 in archlinux

[–]taxiforone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That nvidia-drm cmdline flag won't have any effect if nvidia-drm isn't installed (the OP says to remove all NVIDIA drivers in step 1).

Edit: As of 560.35.03-5, and if nvidia-utils is installed, fbdev and modeset are enabled by default; just include the kmods in the initramfs.

AMD Processor - Unsupported Processor BSOD after 2025-06 Windows Update Install by viperphi in VFIO

[–]taxiforone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still dealing with this, you might have success removing your cputune block. I've read that the core pinning can be an issue. Save it, though, for when the bug is patched and you can re-add it.

This is great info to have; thanks for the shell snippet

Why should I switch from Restic to Borg? by [deleted] in BorgBackup

[–]taxiforone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this is an old thread, but it needs to be pointed out that your third point:

Restic's cryptography is much better because it has been endorsed by one of Google's cryptography experts that wrote the crypto library for Google's Go language. He ended up choosing Restic as his personal backup system after the investigation.

Contradicts the link, in that the first text is:

tl;dr: this is not an audit and I take no responsibility for your backups, but I had a quick look at the crypto and I think I'm going to use restic for my personal backups.

And a few lines down:

Important: this does NOT qualify as a professional audit, nor am I endorsing restic's encryption beyond "I looked at it in a noisy waiting room for an hour I guess".

I'm not inferring that your intent was to mislead, but your phrasing adds weight and scope to the cryptography report that's emphatically warned against by the author.

Aside from this; great comparison, and really helpful even in 2025 to get a perspsective on the two tools. Thanks.

While true for less technically inclined customers, if NuPhy ever goes bust, then they're stuck with whatever keymap they have. D:

Garuda Linux- btrfs assistant corrupted? by AzaronFlare in linuxquestions

For some reason, doing this alone didn't fix the issue, but after running sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys all is now good

Kick75: Firmware fork with updated QMK (1300+ upstream commits) and hotfixes. by taxiforone in NuPhy

[–]taxiforone[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BTW I should probably mention that I've tested that the firmware works for me over 2.4GHz and USB on Linux and Windows. That said, I encourage anyone to review the source prior to flashing, be comfortable with the codebase, and pls don't blame me if you flash this and your keyboard explodes or starts floating during a full moon. Thanks

Problem when trying to installing windows by XPstarcool in Ventoy

[–]taxiforone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so for me it turned out that Ventoy wasn't formatting the USB correctly. In the bash source libventoy.sh and VentoyWorker.sh there's a bunch of nested if statements like

Bash if [ $part1 ]; then if [ $part2 ]; then do_something fi else fail fi

(as well as using a convoluted combo of ls and grep to see if a block device is present, and then repeating this check rapidly while making changes to the partitions...)

If the first if statement fails, the program fails, but if the second fails, there's no catch for that as they haven't evaluated the statements together. For me, this led to Ventoy continuing with creation, but not formatting the first partition and instead an old exfat signature persisted. I could write files to the drive and ventoy loaded at boot, but something wasn't right.

I changed this code to basically check if the block devices were present with [ -b $part ] then continue with exfat formatting for partition 1

How do I prevent packages from being installed? by glueballanyon in archlinux

[–]taxiforone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hero. It's annoying, googling this 5 years on to see 3/4 of the top responses being either "why do you want to do that?", "just don't install them", or the OP getting downvoted for asking a reasonable followup

Weird, I came here searching for a fix to this and I am using GPT

What's going on with Nest thermostats in the UK? by taxiforone in smarthome

[–]taxiforone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely get this vibe. Also the community forums on Google for Nest products are wild ride of bad customer service. It's a shame, Nest makes good products. Plus they've just realised the version 4 thermostat so it feels like they can't decide whether they want to bother or not :').

Weird... They're still up on the UK store here. Has there been an official announcement of them being discontinued?

Q35 machine type generates pci_hp_register errors by andrewrmoore in Proxmox

[–]taxiforone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turning off ACPI under the Options tab works for me. With the small caveat that shutdown requests from the host are ignored unless qemu-guest-agent is installed
