My MacBook Air Wireless driver

by Pitfall on 8 Oct 2025 at 10:30

My MacBook Air Mid 2011 has a Broadcom BCM4322 chip, supported by broadcom-wl driver. This driver isn't mantained anymore, so remember to manually download and install it by some mantained repo. Just search for bcm4322 tumbleweed next time you wipe your system.

Maybe this site should be generated by a SSG

Writing a devlog by hand in HTML is of course a lot of fun, but not very scalable, and that's gonna be an issue sooner than later. Granted I'll never be able to enjoy using a generator made by someone other than me, what are the steps I should take to fake my commitment in doing this?

Start with something that assemble some html pages.
Content can be Posts or Pages.
The blog page has like 10 articles and truncated, titles are links.
RSS Feed.
Option to watch for changes and serve.
Include css, js and static files like images.

while preparing for this, this site should be more standard. Like every post is an article.

About containerization

Of course I cannot keep commit-push every time I want to see an update on my blog.

Then I'll run a container, granted I do not wish to run a server on my personal computer.

The choice is for Podman on OpenSuse and container on macOS.

On macOS, start the container system with container system start.

Let's try to do that with similar command, I'll just swap podman with container in the Terminal:


container|podman run --rm \

-v "$PWD":/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ \

httpd:latest

then visit the ip address in the container output. It's working while I write this.

    </body>
</html>

some Podman useful tips

by Pitfall on 27 Sept 2025 at 13:00

Always use rootless mode
Keep containers running after logout with loginctl enable-linger
if SELinux is enabled, folder and volume labels are the following; :ro is read only, :z is shared among containers, :Z is exclusive for the container using it.
to read a log of what went wrong with your quadlet: /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/podman-system-generator --user --dryrun
a log of the service running: journalctl --user -xeu caddy.service
in rootless mode, always use systemctl --user <command>

This is me, in an epic journey. That started with a learning journey about computer science, and now is more about learning what to do, not how to.

This is a pre tag

and it's block scope. print("this is a code tag") and it's inlinable.

print("this is a pre+code tag")

Math can be inline like \(2^{2x}=4\), or displayed like:

\[2^{3x}=8\]

Reminder: use the wiki in the repo also.
