Mild panic in the family after devices and console had updated and couldn't connect to the family #minecraft server. Daddy tech support solved the problem although he can no longer login while waiting for the x86 PE client to update 😬 😟 😞 ⛏️
2020 may be a dumpster fire but the #qemu release keep on rolling. Some #TCG features include #ARM 8.5 MemTag, vhost-user support , and gdbstub socket connections. See blog https://www.qemu.org/2020/08/11/qemu-5-1-0/
Interesting new feature. I wonder if there is anything that can bridge the gap between filter bubble and fly paper for trolls?

Well I might as well enable the Welsh locales on my box and see if anything changes.
Say what you like about sdcards but they are very easy to loose down the cracks of your floorboards.

I moved to Server Architecture team at Linaro. So first task was to handle SBSA reference platform in QEMU.
It is not yet ServerReady. But it is work in progress.

As soon as I posted my kernel patches I get offers of sexy time in private emails. I don't think they read the patch details though.
Writing some kernel patches for the first time in a while. Let's see how quickly #tuxbuild works through the matrix for me.
We do have a lot of public data but the (public) granularity is sparser. The #bbc have a site to lookup your country case load: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274 and you can look up deaths to the individual postcode (with some fuzzing) at the #ons website https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/datalist?filter=datasets
A thread on data transparency. The concepts of mapping cases is as old as John Snow (who did indeed know something). The question here is should everyone know? HK's data is to the building level but that could still be 1 in 100s of dwellings. A UK postcode is ~15 households.

Why does data matter so much in #COVID19 and why is the UK getting it wrong? A thread on transparency. And it starts with this. This is the Hong Kong govt's dashboard for the pandemic. It's extraordinary. Every single case mapped, down to the apartment block they live in...

low-level development tooling
#Qemu can load the kernel (ELF) and RAM-disk (CPIO) for you, without any firmware or bootloader. You only have to provide it with a root partition image, where the first process' binary resides.
Then, you can make it drive some of the hosts' devices (not a trivial configuration, but still).
And also, you can use it as emulating debugger (server to which you connect remotely with #GDB). No special kernel modules are required.
So it's a pretty comprehensive development tool, and not just something where you run Windows when you absolutely have to…
The #english health secretary said the new #lockdown rules in #manchester were due to increased transmissions in peoples homes. Where does that data come from? Is that from the Test, Track and Trace numbers?
4 player family #minecraft finally achieved thanks to a fork of the PE launcher. Of course this meant my partner and I spent last night getting our farms in order, making sure there was food in the kitchen chest and tools in the mining chest so we could enjoy a family outing. It's probably a metaphor for something.
Today I'm defensively coding for the year 2062 bug - a.k.a nanoseconds since epoch.
Hmm the mastodon gateway squashed the URL because I used the CW feature so here it is again, my #linaro blog on the evolution of the #QEMU translator: https://www.linaro.org/blog/the-evolution-of-the-qemu-translator/ - warning may contain compilers ;-)
