schestowitz | <blockquote> | Apr 02 04:29 |
schestowitz | <p>This week I’d like to highlight a very cool development: the automatic crash reporting facility in the Plasma 6 version of our venerable DrKonqi crash report wizard. Automatic reporting is opt-in, but so far lots of people are opting in, and we’re using this data to get a much better picture of the crashes that our users are actually experiencing than we ever could using Bugzilla! U | Apr 02 04:29 |
schestowitz | sing this system, at least three such important crashes were fixed this week, two by Fushan Wen (link 1 and link 2) and one by Vlad Zahorodnii (link)–and possibly even more than I missed! </p> | Apr 02 04:29 |
schestowitz | <p> These reports make a difference; they’re not a black hole. So if something crashes, please do use the automatic crash reporting feature in DrKonqi! </p> | Apr 02 04:29 |
schestowitz | <p> In addition, quite a lot of technical and performance work was merged, especially for Discover and the Baloo file indexer. Finally, features and UI polishing are starting to land in Plasma 6.1. In addition to everything listed here, there’s something big that I can’t mention yet since it’s not 100% merged yet, but only 95%! Hopefully next week. 🙂 So stay tuned for that! </p> | Apr 02 04:29 |

schestowitz | <p> Before I started diving into basic jail management with CBSD, I wrote two articles about the tool in general. This one is more in line with those as we are going to take a look at how to update CBSD (and doing a backup beforehand). We will also be exploring a bit of the pretty comprehensive help system. </p> | Apr 02 04:30 |

schestowitz | <blockquote> | Apr 02 04:32 |
schestowitz | <p>Sipeed introduced the Lichee Pi 4A line of computers, offering a slightly newer T-Head TH1520 SoC, which is also 4-core, but uses faster C910 cores than the JH7110. </p> | Apr 02 04:32 |
schestowitz | <p> So how does it compare? Well, overall, it may be a pretty good RISC-V SoC, but in practice, at least underclocked as it is in the Lichee Console 4A, it's underwhelming (see my benchmarks later in the post). </p> | Apr 02 04:32 |

schestowitz | <p> Morse code may be less important these days for communication, but it's worth learning for some applications. One of the best ways to learn Morse code is to hear it. </p> | Apr 02 04:40 |
schestowitz | <p> If you use Linux, there's a command-line program that can help you do just that. It's called morse. This program translates any text into the audio dots and dashes of Morse code. </p> | Apr 02 04:40 |
