    I recently repaired an Amiga 1200 with a difficult to find fault. Unfortunately, it came back to me with more unusual faults that I didnt discover the first time. So, here are the things I missed.

    Some 15 years ago I used to regularly file EP applications that claimed priority from Korean applications, some of which had coloured drawings. I remember in one case that the firm that prepared the black & white [10:39] schestowitz[TR2] drawings that were needed for the EP filing, had problems making legible versions of some of them where the colours represented density contour bands. I ended up making my own much

  • October/November in KDE Itinerary

    In the past two months since the last post, [11:51] schestowitz[TR2] KDE Itinerarys journey search UI got simplified, you got more control over deleting individual entries [11:51] schestowitz[TR2] and altitude information is shown on the live status page when available, among many other things.

    [11:51] schestowitz[TR2]

    Improved journey search page

    [11:51] schestowitz[TR2]

    The interface for manual public transport searches as been simplified. Filters for [11:51] schestowitz[TR2] specific modes of transportation are now on a secondary page, and you dont have to specify [11:51] schestowitz[TR2] a trip to add the results to in the first step anymore. Instead, thats now queried when [11:51] schestowitz[TR2] actually saving a result.

    Archinstall 3.0.14 Fixes Snapper-GRUB Snapshots
    [14:34] schestowitz[TR2]
    [14:34] schestowitz[TR2]

    The update includes multiple snapshot-related fixes. Snapper-GRUB integration has been corrected to ensure snapshot entries are properly generated, and f-string handling in the snapshot debug installation has been fixed to avoid runtime errors during debugging.

    CachyOS November 2025 Release Adds Accessibility Tools, COSMIC Greeter
    [14:34] schestowitz[TR2]
    [14:34] schestowitz[TR2]

    The ISO and installer now ship with Orca and espeak-ng, providing screen-reading capability throughout the installation process. Under the hood, the team has enabled the mkinitcpio systemd hook on supported configurations.

    [14:34] schestowitz[TR2]

    For compatibility reasons, however, the hook is automatically disabled when users select ZFS or Bcachefs as the root filesystem. Bcachefs users now receive bcachefs-dkms, replacing the stock kernel module to provide better filesystem integration.
