Details on getting this running, now that it was finally released! The instructions & system.img can be accessed in XDA: [A13] Pixel Experience GSI for Surface Duo. I chose to flash the system.img versus the DSU Sideloader method. It’s been a little while since I’ve played around with Android & custom ROM’s so it took longer than usual to figure it out, but i did get it working. I’m making note of the process mainly for myself, but also in case anyone else needs a hint or two. ...

I was trying to make a simple countdown widget to be used on my iPhone lockscreen, but couldn’t find one exactly like what I was looking for. I just ended up modifying this one: GitHub: ferminrp / scriptable-countdown-widget. My modified version is at: GitHub: veritas06 / scriptable-countdown-widget.

Woot or some other deal site had a Surface Go 1 (with LTE) on sale & figured I’d pick it up for fun. After doing a quick search, I came across the Linux Surface GitHub repo again & saw that even the LTE piece should work with a little modification. I usually jump between Ubuntu flavors (usually Xubuntu since it’s a bit lighter) & Linux Mint; this time I was Xubuntu. ...

Since last night I’ve been fighting with a problem on the site… Which is related to …/wp-includes/formatting.php, specifically the convert_smilies function. I ended up just having to adjust the $stop variable to “0”, at least until I can get it permanently figured out. And right now the content of posts aren’t loading, so there is still more to fix. EDIT: June 03, 2023: Okay, so I may have finally gotten it working… I did use the Web UI to re-install WordPress 6.2.2, & I was still seeing errors related to the convert_smilies function again & finally found an answer that helped me get things running again (at least for now…): StackOverflow: base64_encode conflict with convert_smilies in wordpress. The answer about editing the .../v3ritas.tech/wp-includes/formatting.php file, & adding: remove_filter( 'the_content', 'convert_smilies', 20 ); ...

I wanted to make note of this page, because it was a huge help getting the ModSecurity OWASP rule set working with nginx. LinuxBabe: How to Set Up ModSecurity with Nginx on Debian/Ubuntu Then to start exempting specific pages from specific rule ID’s, you’ll using these three commands quite a bit: `tailf /var/log/modsec_audit.log` `sudo nano /etc/nginx/modsec/coreruleset-3.3.4/rules/REQUEST-900-EXCLUSION-RULES-BEFORE-CRS.conf` `sudo nginx -t` `sudo systemctl reload nginx`

I’ve had a tab with this site open in my browser for weeks so I don’t forget to go to it, but still haven’t had time to sit down & go through it, to see what I might want to try. So I might as well drop it here as a reminder & in case anyone else wants to check it out. Dergnz: Fun things to try with your Flipper Zero (and wifi devboard)

I came across this while configure some local services using nginx, & wanted to make note of it: Mozilla SSL Configuration Generator.

I’m trying to play around more with my Flipper Zero, especially since I came across info on custom firmware to unlock some extra features with the device. The install was extremely simple, just using the qFlipper application to flash the CFW: GitHub: RogueMaster / flipperzero-firmware-wPlugins. There were a few extra steps to take after flashing, but as long as you read the instructions provided, it should work fine. I still have to play around with it a bit & see what else I can do with it, but I will definitely be reading \ loading most of what’s available through RogueMaster’s awesome-flipperzero-withModules GitHub repo. ...

So I got a new gaming computer last year, & as usual when I’m running Windows, I don’t login with a user account that has administrator rights. Instead, I login with a regular user account, & if I need to do something as admin, I’m either prompted (i.e.: Installing MSI’s) or I can “Run as administrator” through the context menu. Well it looks like that plan has a hole when trying to use the native win10\win11 Xbox app, & to install at least some games, the two I’m finding now are Halo Infinite & Halo: The Master Chief collection. ...

Two things I’m currently working on: - Ubuntu Touch on my old Nexus 6P, just to see how it’s coming along. I did need to reference this comment in order to get mine booting properly. - LuneOS on my old HP TouchPad… Which is giving me some problems. It started off rough because I was trying to find some files that were released between 2011-2014, & then trying to get them running… Then once I finally got that done, I still wasn’t able to get LuneOS to boot. Here are some of the files I collected while working on this: ...
