It might work with WSL2 in Windows, and it might work on a Mac. #AgonLight #CProgramming #CPlusPlus #RetroComputing https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/chromebook-facial-control-is-cool/ Thu, 21 Aug 2025 21:33:25 +0100 https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/chromebook-facial-control-is-cool/ My Chromebook just had another update, and it’s now gained the ability to be controlled using facial gestures. And it’s pretty cool. #Linux https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/maximising-the-fun-in-linux/ Tue, 09 Jul 2024 21:39:42 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/maximising-the-fun-in-linux/ Or in other words, I ditch NixOS because it’s awkward and weird, and I install Arch because it’s awkward and weird, but in a different way. And here’s my opinion. #Linux https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/making-computers-fun-again/ Thu, 04 Jul 2024 23:23:22 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/making-computers-fun-again/ It’s nearly midnight, I’m supposed to be going to sleep but downstairs my Surface Pro 7+ is busy compiling a Linux kernel while installing NixOS. Getting that far required a lot of fussing about and a desk fan. And it’s great fun. I’ve not had this much entertainment from my computers since they looked like this… #Linux https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/when-did-linux-get-so-complicated/ Sat, 21 Jan 2023 09:36:09 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/when-did-linux-get-so-complicated/ Today on “weird crap that seems undocumented on the Internet” we have DNS that doesn’t want to resolve and DHCP that is acting weird. My home DNS server decided it didn’t want to resolve things any more, and it took far too long to figure out why. #Linux #Networking https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/raspberry-pi-400-devkit-for-rc2014/ Sun, 13 Dec 2020 22:14:17 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/raspberry-pi-400-devkit-for-rc2014/ I turned a Raspberry Pi 400 into a C devkit for the RC2014. #RC2014 #CProgramming #RaspberryPi #RetroComputing https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/gameboy-advance-dev-workflow-in-2020/ Sun, 01 Mar 2020 08:35:57 +0000 https://beta.ncot.uk/blog-posts/gameboy-advance-dev-workflow-in-2020/ How to write GameBoy Advance (GBA) homebrew using modern tools and systems in 2020. Compilers, editors, debugging and more! This isn’t the definitive way of doing things, but it’s a way that seems to work for me. Also you might read this and think it a bit convoluted and full on. I didn’t create it all in one go, it’s a workflow that has evolved over time. #Nintendo #Windows #Sprites #Linux
