I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an #OpenSource #PersonalKnowledgeManagement software. 🐰

I'm gonna give a second try to @zettlr tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure #CommonMark where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of #TeXLaTeX, #MermaidJS, and pop-over #footnotes. Provision of the simple #PDF export and #Pandoc customization are welcome, too!

But, to be fair, I may be overexaggerating how good #Zettlr is because of my recent disgust with #VendorLocking. In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is #FreeSoftware might suffice already. Having something as advanced and closer to the roots is certainly refreshing!

На YouTube появился доклад тех самых трёх польских хакеров исследовавших странную блокировку поездов.

Занятное зрелище, интересные находки. Местами легко представить себе менеджера компании-производителя, который приходит к разработчикам с очередной великолепной идеей.

К слову, на всех трёх героев презентации можно подписаться в феди. Оставлю ссылки в первом комменте чтобы не втягивать их потенциально в тред.

Continued thread

Since #Apple's devices are literally designed to be #fragile, I do think it's safe to assume if not demand that having parts from a donor machine should allow one to fix an issue...

Just like on any major brand laptop.

Even #hp and it's #ProBook #Laptops with their #FUD-based #VendorLock for #RAM that literally bricks #PXE and remote/headless/timer-based booting don't literally lock up unbootable if you were to take a differen ProBook's RAM sticks, WIFI, WWAN, SSD, Keyboard, Screen.
