I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.

Last Notes npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to KeePassXC. It's a fantastic FOSS password manager that you can find in your distro repo; a PPA; Flatpak and an App Image. You can use it on Linux; BSD; Mac and Windows. The code is licensed using GPLV2.0 and GPLv3.0.[email protected] npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Theo de Raadt has released OpenBSD 7.4 as the latest version of this BSD flavor. There are a lot of bug fixes as well as new kernel features; security updates, AMD Zenbleed handling updates, and more. OpenBSD is a great option for those who are looking to avoid Windows and Mac OS in order to get a more privacy and security friendly option. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Many people know about the state of Linux gaming but BSD doesn't get as much attention. Below is a video from Alexander Vereeken showcasing playing Need For Speed Most Wanted (2012) on FreeBSD: npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS firmware/BIOS updater "Fwupd" has been updated to version 1.9.6. This update fixes eleven bugs; adds support for eight new devices; and more. Fwupd is a piece of software that works with the Linux Vendor Firmware Service to give an easy way to update firmware and BIOS for various devices. The firmware and BIOS that the vendors offer isn't always FOSS but Fwupd itself is. The code is licensed using LGPLv2.1. Fwupd can be downloaded through various Linux distros as well as through Flathub as a flatpak. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness I just heard about a new RISC-V board called the "Milk-V Pioneer". It's a mATX board that is more similar to a normal x86_64 motherboard than a SBC. It has four DDR4 memory slots, dual M.2 slots, three PCIe x16 slots using x8 lanes, five SATA ports, eight USB 3.2 ports, and dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports. The CPU comes soldered on but the RAM; storage and dedicated GPU can all be added or removed manually. The CPU, while soldered on, is a 64 core chip. You can purchase just the board or you can purchase it as a complete system. It can use ECC RAM as well. It's not a cheap product but that has been the case form any RISC-V product that aims to be more then something low end. It's a very interesting product form anyone wishing to get away from Intel and AMD. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS MMORPG "Stendhal" has been updated to version 1.44. This adds new achievments; new NPC's; bug fixes; and more. The code is licensed using GPLv2.0 and it is made using the Arianne engine. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub16h5…rwsx npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub18k3…upyq @npub13pv…dl8a npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub16ne…thh0 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to Panda3D. It's a FOSS game engine used by a variety of games such as the FOSS racing game "Yorg". The code is licensed using the Modified/3Clause BSD License. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to Christian Kußowski also known as "Krille Fear". He's a FOSS developer who contributes to a number of projects such as the Matrix client FluffyChat; the Matsodon client uMastonauts; Jotit Notes; and others. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS space trading game "Naikari" has been updated to version 0.10.1. This is a small update that fixes one bug. Naikari is a fork of the 2D space shooter "Naev". The code is licensed using GPLv3.0. You can download the game from Itch.io and Github. [email protected] npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS RTS game "OpenHV" has recently been updated to version 20230917. This update fixes ten bugs; adds new animations; artwork; load screen; and more. The code is licensed using GPLv3.0 for the code and Creative Commons Attribution_ShareAlike v4.0 International for the assets. The game is available on Github; as a Flatpak as well as on Itch.io. The game is made using the OpenRA engine. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1msm…0dqu npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1rl7…xawh npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1rl7…xawh npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This weekend donation went to Libredirect. It's a browser extension that helps you avoid websites and services that aren't privacy friendly by forwarding you to a better alternative. What it does is if you try to load a site or link such as Twitter or Youtube (among others) it will automatically redirect your browser to open the link in a FOSS friendly way. For instance if I open a Youtube link it will open in Invidious or if I open Twitter it will open in Nitter. The extension is availble in the extension store for various browsers. I myself can say it works in Abrowser which is a Firefox fork. The code for the extension is licensed using GPLv3.0. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub12xf…9ps4 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness I was reading an article at Phoronix which stated that in kernel 6.6 microcode will be switched to loading unconditionally. Does this mean that all blobs will be loaded regardless of whether your hardware needs them ? npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness I learned of an interesting tablet tonight: The Librem 11 from Purism. It's an 11" tablet that comes with a physical keyboard that can be attached; 8GB RAM; 1TB NVME storage; and a 2560x1600 screen. It runs Pure OS; has Pureboot for the BIOS; and the Intel ME has been disabled. It's not cheap at $999 USD but will have better support than my PineTab software wise. In any case if you're looking for a new tablet and privacy and security are high on the priority list it's worth a look. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub16ne…thh0 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to Chris Talbot also known as "kpop316". They're a developer who contributes to MMS & VVM functionality for the Pinephone and Librem 5 as well as other work. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub16kx…gym2 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1w6v…exxg npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1z24…xc0v npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS space trading game "Naikari" has been updated to version 0.10.0. This update improves the interface; new ship upgrades; bug fixes; mission tweaks and more. Naikari is a fork of the 2D space shooter "Naev". The code is licensed using GPLv3.0. You can download the game from Itch.io; Github; and Flathub.[email protected] npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to 3mdeb. They work on porting Dasharo, which is their version of Coreboot, to motherboards thus freeing them from using a closed source BIOS. They also sell motherboards and whole systems that are already corebooted by them if you don't know how to do the work yourself or just don't want to. Those looking for more privacy respecting hardware should give them a look and consideration.[email protected] npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS racing game "Pixel Wheels" has been updated to version 0.25.0. This update adds split-screen multi-player with support for up to four players; a new vehicle; Italian and Dutch translations; bug fixes; and more. The code is licensed with GPLv3 and the assets are licensed with Creative Commons Attribution_ShareAlike v4.0 International. The game can be downloaded from Itch.io; various distro repos and as a flatpak. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS turn based strategy game "Tanks of Freedom II" has been updated to version 0.4.0. This update adds two new campaigns which brings a conclusion to the story; fixes a bug that caused a crash; added changes to the split editor; and added more tiles. The code is licensed using the MIT license and the game is made using the Godot engine. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1hdj…ck09 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Linux distro "Mageia" has been updated to version 9. You can download Live Media that uses KDE Plasma; Gnome; and XFCE. 32 bit support is available but only by default in the XFCE version. This new release will use the 6.4 kernel and upgrades Mesa to version 23.1. They also replaced libdb with RPM DB; reduced the size of the install images; enhanced the rescue system and more. "Mageia" is an indepentent distro that uses SystemD. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Brick breaking game "CircumBreak" has released with a native Linux version; a playable demo; and is available DRM free. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Survival horror game "Apartment 1406" has been released with a native Linux version and is available DRM free. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1hdj…ck09 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1ahf…jdrc npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1fzn…tde7 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub187f…78ad npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1q8n…kct8 @npub1jwj…egwq npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1jwj…egwq npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Semi FOSS BIOS "Coreboot" has been updated to version 4.21. This update adds support for two dozen new devices; improves boot splash screen support; improves the UCHI driver; and more. The code to Coreboot is licensed using GPLv2.0. The reason I call it semi FOSS is that it does have to include varying levels of closed source blobs to make many models work. Having some FOSS in Coreboot beats having a fully closed source BIOS though and it is a good step for users to take to get more privacy and security for their devices. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to the Free Software Foundation also known as the FSF. They're a non-profit organization that focuses on spreading awareness of the benefits of free software as well as the pitfalls of proprietary software. They maintain lists of reocmmended software and distros as well as hardware that infringe on your freedom less than alternatives or not at all. They have a variety of campaigns made to educate users as well as post videos on a Peertube account towards the same goal. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1hdj…ck09 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1gfd…7gg6 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1v7t…ck6k npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS firmware/BIOS updater "Fwupd" has been updated to version 1.9.4.

There are updates and fixes to every program in the suite, some have over a dozen, as well as updates and fixes to the core software and API. LibreOffice can be downloaded through varius Linux distros; as a Flatpak; and as an AppImage. The code is licensed using MPL-2.0. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1qyr…9qlq npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS init "SysVinit" has been updated to version 3.08. This update was a small one that added just a few small patches. The code to SysVinit is licensed using GPLV2. You can find some distros shipping iso's with SysVinit as an option or the sole init such as Artix; PCLinuxOS; Deuvan; and more. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Emulator "Box64" has been updated to version 0.2.4. This update adds support for the RISC-V platform; improved multithreading support; added a Ukranian translation for the README file; fixed support for various applications; and more. Box64 is an emulator that allows you to run x_86 programs on ARM and now RISC-V systems. The code is licensed using MIT. You can compile Box64 from source on Github; can install from the AUR; and you may find it available in certain distro repos. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub14g4…xnzh npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Narrative crafting RPG "Book of Hours" released recently with a Linux version and it's available DRM free. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to the QMK Firmware project. It provides FOSS firmware for a variety of keyboards including the System76 Launch keyboards; ZSA keyboards; and the MNT Reform Keyboard. The code is mostly licensed using GPLv2.0 but some parts also use the MIT license; the Modified BSD license; and the Apache license. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1xrm…dncv @npub13v6…hy07 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness Phoronix recently benchmarked the StarFive VisionFive 2 SBC. It's a RISC-V system that is on the cheaper side. I am always happy to see more RISC-V systems regardless of how well they do at the moment. Hopefully more optimizations and work can help it improve down the road. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to Clayton Craft, aka "Craftyguy".

The code to Coreboot is licensed using GPLv2.0. The reason I call it semi FOSS is that it does have to include varying levels of clsoed source blobs to make many models work. Having some FOSS in Coreboot beats having a fully closed source BIOS though and it is a good step for users to take to get more privacy and security for their devices. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub16kx…gym2 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1rl7…xawh npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub17rk…qra4 npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness This week's donation went to the OpenAndroidInstaller project. It allows for easy install of various deGoogled Android operating systems to mobile phones. For instance on my Pixel 2 it was as simple as a dozen or so mouse clicks and downloading two files to get Android replaced by LineageOS. There weas no use of a temrinal required for the install and this will really help non tech saavy people get free of Android as well as save time for those who are tech saavy. There are over 60 devices supported at this time.

This update adds support for a few new devices such as the Fairphone 3; F(x)tec Pro1 X; and Volla Phone X23. Some of the devices already had support for the older Xenial based Ubuntu Touch versions so it's good to see them, get support for the newer OS. Some other parts of the update are improvements to the System Settings app; the ability to adjust edge sensitivity; over a dozen bug fixes; and more. Ubunutu Touch is a great option for those that want to escape Apple or Google. What it lacks in app support it makes up for in stability and ease of use. They have a GUI installer that is available in multiple formats and supports a lot of devices which makes getting Ubuntu Touch installed an easy task. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1xju…ekqr npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub15pz…kwvl @npub1dgq…7aev npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS graphics editor "Inkscape" has been updated to version 1.3.

Privacy screens are nice and all but this laptop shipped with Windows 11 and had a closed source BIOS. There is nothing privacy friendly about it. The worst part was in the comments there were some people praising them. I truly hope they were being paid to do so. The first step towards having more privacy is to do research and i'll give you a tip: no mainstream brand of tech is privacy friendly. You will have to go to alternate avenues and make sacrifices to attain even a modicum of privacy. npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1yck…ujmw @npub13s8…xv6j npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness @npub1unu…zsng npub1anv7gavpwt28mt59jrrpewqjsfc7xxlyccpu8zg52607z8sjwulsjyajmr PublicLewdness FOSS space trading game "Naikari" has been updated to version 0.8.0.

The main difference is the Pinetab 2 is Arm based while the PineTab-V is RISC-V based. Both will use the semi open BIOS of U-Boot. The PineTab2 will have support for various Linux and BSD distros out of the gate but the PineTab-V will not as RISC-V suppport is in much earlier stages. In any case you have to be willing to put in some work and be willing to find alternatives as this will not function as an Android tablet or an iPad but from a privacy and security standpoint these tradeoffs are worth it in my eyes.
