Stories, insights, and behind-the-scenes looks at photography
The hero image on my previous post cost me nothing — generated in 25 seconds on my own desktop by a model that lives on my hard drive, on a graphics card from 2021. Here is how easy local AI image generation has become, how good it is, and why the one model I cannot run is a story about the world's memory supply.
Hibernate on my openSUSE Tumbleweed workstation had never actually worked — every "resume" was a cold boot. It turned out to be three bugs stacked on top of each other: dracut silently dropping resume support from the initrd, a chicken-and-egg resume-device problem, and SELinux denying root. Here is the full walkthrough.
A bleeding-edge stack — Arrow Lake-S, kernel 7.0, the NVIDIA open kernel module, KDE Plasma on Wayland — that slept fine and woke up dead one resume in four. This is the war story of the night I stopped waiting for a fix that was never coming, built a custom 610.43.02 driver against my own kernel, registered it with DKMS, and watched the zombie not come back. Honest about the dead-ends, the netconsole blind spot, and the three failed installs along the way.
Every modern NVIDIA GPU on Linux fires the GSP firmware heartbeat bug on every suspend right now — across Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, and Arch. Whether you experience it as a zombie wake depends almost entirely on your compositor. KWin retries until the firmware recovers. Mutter often gives up. Real data, sourced reports, and an open-source logger you can run on your own machine.
A complete guide to monitor colour accuracy — what to buy, which certifications matter (Calman, Pantone, VESA DisplayHDR, Fogra), how operating systems handle colour, and how to keep your panel accurate for years.
Every Linux speed test I tried was broken, browser-bound, or phoning home. So I built one. Fast, native GTK4, four live-working backends (Cloudflare, Ookla, M-Lab, LibreSpeed with a built-in server picker), zero tracking — installs on any distro with one command.
Avro Phonetic for Linux had a 14-year-old bug that broke the Left Shift key, and Wayland broke input switching entirely. I forked it, fixed the Shift bug, ported the install to GNOME 50+ and KDE Plasma 6, built a GTK4 manager, and shipped it as `ibus-avro-fixed` — one install for both desktops.
I bought a $10 USB fingerprint scanner for my Linux desktop and discovered it was not supported. So I built an open-source installer with a GTK4 GUI that makes it work across Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and more.
