Things we know:

* Valve have been working on an unknown project called” HLX”
* Valve promised an updated version of the Half-Life 2 “Raising the Bar” book in 2025, but missed the deadline for unknown reasons
* Valve’s new hardware launch has been delayed by the RAM crisis

…there is a non-zero chance that Sam Altman has delayed Half-Life 3

Framework motherboard isn't booting again :neocat_cry:

On the plus side, the latest updates to the Asahi Fairydust kernel seem very stable so I can daily drive this MacBook even with external monitors.

The new "AI Kill Switch" in Firefox is a welcome addition, but did they really not hook this up to the Enterprise Policy framework? :neocat_scream:

Doesn't seem to be affected by the existing GenerativeAI policy.

Welp. Time to learn how #NixOS packaging works. :neocat_googly:

NetworkManager in nixpkgs-unstable should have all the fancy new CLAT code as it's at version 1.56.0 now

No such luck after pulling it in though. I had to go back to my horrible module that builds from the latest Git commit.

My build needed a bunch of BPF dependencies to get the CLAT support working, while the nixpkgs version bump bumped nothing but the version string and SHA so maybe I need to try and add those build-time deps upstream: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/20f0d91b2273d998b83b46f11b3b229e93a1d5c7

Not sure though :blobcat_thisisfine:

I’ve been trying to use less YouTube (directly at least) so I’ve been using the “Unwatched” app for iOS and casting it to the TV via AirPlay

It’s been working flawlessly for weeks but randomly today it’s stuck on auto-dubbed Spanish for all videos and I can’t make it stop :neocat_googly:

…al menos me está obligando a recordar algunas de mis lecciones de español en el instituto 🇪🇸

Lazyweb: Does anyone have a good FreshRSS client for iOS that actually acts as a client?

I’ve tried a few, like FeedFlow, but the ones I’ve tried seem to download the list of feeds from the server and then fetch all the feeds locally.

One of the main reasons I’m self hosting FreshRSS is so my phone *isn’t* fetching 95 different feeds in the background :neocat_shocked:

Had great fun and met some great folk at my first #FOSDEM!

Learned some interesting things that are relevant to our Confidential Compute plans for Tor Relays with @emeraldonion@disobey.net

Very tired now. Time to try and not fall asleep on the Eurostar back home
