MIPI-DSI is a display interface for, especially embedded, display panels, commonly used on embedded hardware.
These display panels generally need different initialization code, and depending on hardware also different power management code. As such Linux has code to support a wide variety of drivers for various DSI display panels.
In some cases, however, you may encounter a DSI display panel where the only Linux driver is for an older version of Linux. The Linux kernel is known for having an unstable driver interface, so these drivers just no longer work with newer versions of Linux.
This post will describe the changes you need to perform to allow your driver to be compatible with newer versions of Linux, based on a simplified version of the “clockworkpi”[1] CWD686 panel that I have recently ported fromn 5.10 to 6.6.

The Desktop and Web versions of the popular Matrix client Element, as well as its fork Schildichat, support link previews. These can also be activated inside of end-to-end encrypted chats.
The problem arises from its implementation: The setting is stored insecurely on the homeserver and URLs are sent to the homeserver for link preview generation.
This article is the a full disclosure on this issue.

End to end encryption in chat protocols is a complex topics with lots of pitfalls.
One such pitfall is failing to verify that a ciphertext is meant to be decrypted with a specific key, or that a ciphertext is meant to decrypt to a specific plaintext, especially when an attacker can specify the key.
This post is about how Matrix does not perform authenticated encryption at all for media sent in end-to-end encrypted chats.

Final Fantasy 14 is an MMORPG that is fully playable on Linux with only minor bugs and that I have been playing for a while now. This post will describe my personal setup of it.
Parts of this will also apply to non-NixOS systems

As mentioned in the previous blog post, I am creating a Living Dex in Pokémon Yellow. Currently I possess a total of 40 Pokémon from previous games, but this number is of course going to increase starting now.

I have wanted to build a living Pokédex in the Pokémon games for quite a while and decided that this summer would be as good time as any to start catching them all. After noticing accidental save corruption (some Pokémon disappeared from the box) in the emulator I was using previously, I decided to restart Pokémon Yellow and write down my experiences down the line.
