@[email protected] that's correct. it arrived rather recently, and firmware updates are required (easy, but requires Qualcomm's app which runs on windows, so that's a thing). As of today I'm working through some kernel debugging and setting up remote log capture for easier parsing during boot iterations. very fun!

@[email protected] yep, that's a fun mod! ooh the X280 was a great laptop, and is still a great laptop! somewhere around here is a X260 waiting for a panel upgrade, will give your tutorial a shot before disassembly occurs. 👍🏻

@[email protected] fwupdmgr is one of the better examples of a distro-agnostic application. every time that I use it there's an urge for cloning and mirroring the firmware repos in an effort to port its functionality to freebsd.

@[email protected] @[email protected] good question! still looking for a PCB schematic, though getting to a full boot command line would offer a step towards running hardware topo system calls necessary for enumeration.

for better or worse, the text screams by until the panic stops, so I'll be connecting its HDMI out to a PiKVM, which will facilitate streaming log capture; improving access to all that debugging data. typically my workflow for arm64 + freebsd involves either using a SoL terminal and/or RS232 / TTL output capture, but those are not available for a laptop... hmmm hmm.

@[email protected] thanks, it's the higher spec OLED option

@JackbyDev Why would that be a question at all? Buy a domain name and take care of your dns records.

that's an odd way to say that you don't own any domains. that's step one, but does it even need to be said?

@solrize @thehatfox get a free wildcard cert for your domain and use it just like any other. nothing new, nothing different. I have those running on LAN-only hosts behind a firewall and NAT with no port punching or UpNP or any ingress possible.

if you don't want to run a private CA with automated cert distribution (also simple with ansible or a few tens of LOC in shell or python), the LetsEncrypt is trivial and costs nothing -- still requires one to load the cert and key onto a server though, which is 2/3 of the work vs private CA cert management.
