copyleft

 [This is a crosspost from my phlog post (gopher blog) from Saturday Mar  7  9:30:28 2026]

If you've ever visited my website 'chalsattack.com' you might have

noticed that I have a copyright sign on it. Make no mistake, I am more

the kind of copyleft guy than any other thing you can think of. But I

think I need to explain you one thing first.

In the first place, I put the copyright symbol several years ago only

because I thougt it was super cool having it on a website. I never

gave it any more importance.

Now that I am moving to a different hosting plan (same hoster,

different plan) I revised the text and thought that the copyright

should go away and enter the copyleft one. But much to my surprise I

learnt that copyleft is a mirroed copyright sign and well, I copied

and pasted the code I found on the internet but the sign refused to be

properly displayed.

Too bad. I will try again, no doubt, and I will eventually manage to

display it. I am too stubborn to give up. But I think the copyleft

symbol should have a better/easier way to be displayed.

UPDATE:

(Adding a copyright sign is as easy as typing "©") I just found

out there is "🄯" for copyleft. Let me try...)

What the heck! It works! I am a bit happier now

UPDATE 2:

"🄯" works too in html. "🄯" is hex. "U+1F12F" is unicode

I think I got it right this time with my raspi

 Like I said in a previous post I upgraded my raspi model 4 to trixie (Raspberry Pi OS) successfully some weeks ago. It works fine, the only problem I had back then was configuring the network with a static ip (it is a usual thing). 

 Again, like I already said it pisses me off that I have to re-image the sd card to full-upgrade it. So I thought I should try to install "pure" debian instead of Rasberry Pi os and try to upgrade it by simply running apt full-upgrade (or dist-upgrade). So I did.

 I installed bookworm and then upgraded to trixie. It was fantastic and super fast. So I think that from now on it is going to be a blast updating and upgrading my raspi.

But only time will tell. The fist problem I had after the upgrade (it was configured to connect with inet) was again setting a static ip. What the hell! What is going on with that freaking raspi firmware? I finally could configure it properly and well, here I am writing this post.

 I have not installed a lot of software on it so far. I installed gpm, mc, byobu and weechat. I also installed network-manager because I imagined it would be easier to set the ip with it, but no luck. I removed it and continued with inet. 

 I don't know why it should be that hard, inet's config file is pretty simple in itself. 

From:

iface eth0 inet dhcp

To:

iface eth0 inet static

heck!

I am reading Lou Gramm's biography authored by Scott Pitoniak and himself. 

It is a fantastic book. Easy to read and of course worth reading.

I am truly enjoying it.

Cold morning

In my area -5C is out of the ordinary. Freezing. 

Today is Magi's day. Children are opening their presents and having fun. Who cares about cold today? Tomorrow is a working day. That'll be a completely different story.

Have fun!!!

The geekiest thing

Configuring my wifi extender is probably the geekiest thing I did in 2025 by far. It is sad but true :-(

Raspberry Pi OS 2025

This week I upgraded my raspberry pi os to trixie. And this time it is 64 bits. I had 32 bits before.

 It sucks having to re-image the whole thing again and again. But being a toy, it is not that bad.

And again, as usual, I had trouble configuring its DNS. I had to connect a monitor to be able to use NetwokManager, even though it uses a terminal interfece nmtui. 

I have to say that rpi-imager worked pretty well.

Nevermind, now it is up and running fine. I only have to tweak some things here and somethings there and enjoy my renewed toy whose hostname is kiwi by the way.
