I blogged that I could not run Linux support (Crostini) on CloudReady and Chrome OS Flex. Every time I tried to enable Linux support in the settings, the activation failed with an error.

How I can access Linux with Chrome OS Flex

Published on in ✍️ Posts

I recently installed CloudReady on my ThinkPad. Unfortunately, the Linux feature is not available there because microcode updates are missing, there is no BIOS update and Crostini is quite strict about security.

Good weather today meant that there was a lot going on in the park. After almost -20°C last week, almost +20°C are expected this weekend.

Human communication

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Is it good or bad that human communication is so ambiguous? Human communication is complicated. How about if human communication works via a well-defined interface (like a programming interface) and the communication recipient always understands messages exactly as the communication sender intended? From my naive point of view and as someone who prefers unambiguity, I would say that this could solve a lot of problems, or prevent them from happening at all.

The ActivityStreams module for Hugo should work with image attachments too. This is a test post to see how they are displayed on Mastodon.

But I want to take the opportunity to introduce my readers to Unsplash, where you can find many nice photos for free use. Like this picture from NASA.

Mastodon doesn’t support “Article” posts and only shows the summary from them. But not only that, it doesn’t seem to unescape escaped HTML and that’s why articles from my blog looked so weird on Mastodon, while they worked fine on Pleroma and Microblog.pub. I now fixed the escaping. My Hugo module for ActivityStreams representation is available on Codeberg.

When you’re on the go quite often (at university during the week or with the family during the weekends), it’s actually quite difficult to use the spare time you have for writing blog posts instead of fixing bugs or coding new features for your favorite project. That’s why I recently built the habit of writing most of my posts on the go.
