Programming Leftovers



Kernel 6.4: More work on MediaTek, Rockchip, and power supply


↺ Kernel 6.4: More work on MediaTek, Rockchip, and power supply


> Released last week, Linux kernel 6.4 brings new features such as support for Intel LAM, user events for tracing, and the ability for the machine keyrings used for Machine Owner Keys to store only CA-enforced keys.



Amlogic C302X, C305X, and C308X Arm SoCs target Smart IP cameras


↺ Amlogic C302X, C305X, and C308X Arm SoCs target Smart IP cameras


> Amlogic C302X and C305X are dual-core Arm Cortex-A35 processors, while the C308X is a dual-core Cortex-A55 processor with all SoCs designed for Smart IP cameras with the integration of an AI accelerator up to 4 TOPS, and 1080p30 H.264/H.265 video encoding. I was first informed about Amlogic C302/C305/C308 SoCs for Smart cameras as far back as June 2019, or about four years ago, but there wasn’t enough information to write anything about those at the time. But I’m now seeing more details about the camera SoCs, now named C302X, C305X, and C308X, so it’s a good time to have a closer look. Amlogic C302X Amlogic does not have a product page for this model, so I need to rely on a recent commit in the Linux Kernel mainline list to extra some information.



Linux and the Planet Mercury


↺ Linux and the Planet Mercury


> Since Linux began more than 30 years ago, it has been instrumental in space and planetary research.  There is truly a connection between Linux, space research, and the solar system.  Let’s start with the planet closest to the Sun – Mercury.

↺ Martin Stransky: No one fights alone. A guide to your first Firefox patch on Linux.


> Have you ever hit an annoying Firefox bug and want to fix it? You’re right here. Firefox is a great open source project with many volunteer contributors, large community and any patches and help is very welcome.


> This post aims to help you with your first patch to Firefox and become an active Firefox contributor.


> First of all you need to get Firefox sources and build themon Linux. Ubuntu is a natural choice of many but I use Fedora as it’s Wayland leading distro and I’m also Red Hat employee. It doesn’t matter much because Firefox installs its own build environment.


↺ Fedora


> Firefox development happens on nightly which is the latest up-to-date sources and all changes goes there. For start you need mercurial package installed.

Class-Action Lawsuit for Scraping Data without Permission


↺ Class-Action Lawsuit for Scraping Data without Permission


> I have mixed feelings about this class-action lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming that it “scraped 300 billion words from the internet” without either registering as a data broker or obtaining consent. On the one hand, I want this to be a protected fair use of public data. On the other hand, I want us all to be compensated for our uniquely human ability to generate language.
