Another "Introduction to Piracy" post

There's a few of these going round but they can be dense, spread different information through different reblog chains, and other such impracticalities, so here's a fresh, quick & simple one.

1) Necessary Software

You're going to want two things: a VPN* and a Torrent client. Personally I recommend Mullvad for the former - flat charge of €5/month pay-as-you-go, unlimited data and solid speed, very privacy-focused - and qBitTorrent for the latter.

Once you've installed both of those, you should open qBitTorrent and make sure it only runs through the VPN's internet connection: open Tools in the top bar, then Options->Advanced, and select Mullvad from the Network Interface drop-down box.

*For those unaware, a Virtual Private Network routes your Internet connection through a proxy server and then encrypts it, hiding your activity from your ISP and giving any sites you visit the impression that you're based in whatever country the proxy server is.

2) Finding your desired content

There are many sources of pirated content out there on the Internet, and you can find an awful lot of it on 1337x.to, but personally I always consult the FMHY.net directory, a site dedicated to cataloguing how to find different content by type - films, games, programs etc. If you're worried about the safety of downloading these things, risk of malware and such, honestly you don't really need to be these days - any of the dedicated sites & repositories listed on FMHY should be safe, and if you're going to a general-purpose one like 1337x then as long as the file you want lists a decent number of prior downloads it'll most likely be fine (just avoid The Pirate Bay these days, it is not the haven it was 20 years ago).

3) Downloads

Now, content generally comes in one of two forms: either a direct download, or a torrent. A direct download is exactly what it sounds like, you just receive a copy of the files you want (usually packaged in a ZIP file).

Torrents are a little different. With those, you download a .torrent file, then you open up your torrent client and add it there, then tell it where to save the actual content you want. Torrents are a peer-to-peer download system, meaning instead of downloading the whole file from a specific server you're downloading many parts from everyone else who's previously downloaded it (and is running their torrent client) - this means that how long it takes is entirely dependent on how popular the content in question is, so something obscure and old might take a very long time while a popular new release might be limited only by your internet speed. It also means that you should really keep the .torrent file once your download is finished to help everyone else, an act known as seeding; the alternative, to delete it once you've finished, is known as leeching, and it doesn't harm you but it's generally considered rather impolite.

I think that covers everything, if anyone has any questions or suggestions feel free to say so and I'll update this as needed, until then - hoist your black flag and have fun!

15.03.25

I tried out Zorin OS Linux on Distrosea.

https://distrosea.com/

Zorin OS started its development in 2008 by co-founders Artyom and Kyrill Zorin. The company is based in Dublin, Ireland.

Main site:

https://zorin.com/os/

Wiki link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorin_OS

Like Linux Mint, it is based on Ubuntu, which in turn is based on Debian and uses the current Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS base release.

It features the GNOME 3 and XFCE desktop environments and is available in Lite, Education and Core editions.

Due to enhanced performance optimizations in the Core, Pro, and Education editions of Zorin OS, the Lite version is being discontinued.

However the XFCE desktop packages will still be available through the official software repositories:

https://help.zorin.com/docs/getting-started/getting-zorin-os-lite/

I chose version 17 and selected the 'Core' edition.

This version (Core64) features the GNOME desktop and a few more apps. I clicked 'Try' when the Linux distro booted up to the install wizard. The distro performs a md5 sum check before boot-up to check the security of the .iso file.

The distro can be easily customised to echo Windows or MAC-OS, as well as being tweaked to the users preferred layout.

Software can be installed through Zorin's Software Store. applications are available to install in APT, dpkg, Snap and flatpak.

Windows software can be ran using Wine, a compatibly layer for running Windows only programs on Linux, MAC OS and BSD systems.

Zorin OS 17 also comes with various menu layouts from a Windows Classic/7 layout, Windows 11 style layout, GNOME menu and full screen menus. Some of the menu layouts are only available in the paid for Pro edition.

For more about the various layouts and a review see:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/zorin-os-demonstrates-exactly-what-a-desktop-operating-system-should-be/

The panel (referred to as a taskbar) is also highly configurable in size and appearance and can be changed to match the desktop layouts.

Various window management set-ups are featured for tiling windows to the sides of the screen.

I like the operating system as it is both familiar to me as a Windows user, but also is very configurable, features a polished user interface and is easy to navigate. Also Zorin comes with some very striking desktop backgrounds and colours!

However, I couldn't get the VM to connect to the internet, so I couldn't browse Firefox or try out any additional software.

This is just the way that it has been set-up on Distrosea. For test purposes though, it works very well.

It also feels very speedy, even in a virtual machine over the host internet!

Engineers for Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, are working on new software that could assist mass firings of federal workers across government, sources tell WIRED.

The software, called AutoRIF, which stands for Automated Reduction in Force, was first developed by the Department of Defense more than two decades ago. Since then, it’s been updated several times and used by a variety of agencies to expedite reductions in workforce. Screenshots of internal databases reviewed by WIRED show that DOGE operatives have accessed AutoRIF and appear to be editing its code. There is a repository in the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) enterprise GitHub system titled “autorif” in a space created specifically for the director’s office—where Musk associates have taken charge—soon after Trump took office. Changes were made as recently as this weekend.

So far, federal agency firings have been conducted manually, with HR officials combing through employee registries and lists provided by managers, sources tell WIRED. Probationary employees—those who were recently hired, promoted, or otherwise changed roles—have been targeted first, as they lack certain civil service protections that would make them harder to fire. Thousands of workers have been terminated over the last few weeks across multiple agencies. With new software and the use of AI, some government employees fear that large-scale terminations could roll out even more quickly.

While DOGE could use AutoRIF as the DOD built it, multiple OPM sources speculated that the Musk-affiliated engineers could be building their own software on top of, or using code from, AutoRIF. In screenshots viewed by WIRED, Riccardo Biasini, a former engineer at Tesla and a director at The Boring Company, has seemingly been tasked with pruning AutoRIF on GitHub, with his name attached to the repository. “Remove obsolete versions of autorif,” one file description authored by a user with Biasini’s username on GitHub says.

Biasini has also been listed as the main point of contact for the government-wide email system created by the Trump administration from within OPM to solicit resignation emails from federal workers.

OPM did not immediately respond to requests for comment from WIRED.

In order to conduct RIFs, government HR officials are required to create lists ranking employees who may be subject to firings. AutoRIF does that automatically, a former government HR official tells WIRED. “However, even with the use of any automated system, the OPM guidance says all data has to be confirmed manually and that employees (or their representative) are allowed to examine the registers.” It’s not immediately clear if AutoRIF’s capabilities have been altered either by the Defense Department or DOGE.

The revelation that DOGE is working on AutoRIF comes as it seemingly prepares for its second major round of firings. On Saturday evening, government workers received yet another email purportedly from OPM demanding that they reply detailing what they accomplished in the last week. Some agencies, like the FBI, asked that employees not respond to the message. In a meeting with HR officials on Monday, OPM told agencies they could ignore the email.

In these emails, government workers were asked to lay out five bullet points explaining their top work achievements of the last week. On Monday, NBC News reported that this information would be fed into an unspecified large language model that would assess whether an employee was necessary.

Before the first round of probationary firings, Centers for Disease Control managers were tasked with marking workers they deemed as “mission critical” and then sending a list of them up the chain of command ahead of firings, a CDC source tells WIRED.

“CDC went through a very, very deliberate effort to characterize our probationary employees as mission critical or not, and that way we could keep those that would have real impacts to the mission should they get terminated,” they say. “None of that was taken into account. They just sent us a list and said, ‘Terminate these employees effective immediately.’”

How to install and use IrfanView in Linux - Tutorial

How to install and use IrfanView in Linux - Tutorial

Updated: May 30, 2022

My Windows to Linux migration saga continues. We're still a long way off from finishing it, but it has begun, and I've also outlined a basic list of different programs I will need to try and test in Linux, to make sure when the final switch cometh that I have the required functionality. You can find a fresh bouquet of detailed tutorials on how to get SketchUp, Kerkythea, KompoZer, as well as Notepad++ running in Linux, all of them using WINE and successfully too, in my Linux category.

Today, my focus will be on IrfanView, a small, elegant image viewer for Windows, which I've been using with delight for decades now. It's got everything one needs, and often more than the competitors, hence this bold foray of using it in Linux despite the fact there are tons of native programs available. But let's proceed slowly and not get too far ahead of ourselves. After me.

As I said, it's majestic. A tiny program that does everything. It's fast and extremely efficient. When I posted my software checklist article, a lot of Linux folks said, well, you should try XnView instead. And I did, honest, several times, including just recently, which we will talk about in a separate article, but the endeavor reminded me of why I'd chosen IrfanView all those years back. And those reasons remain.

Then, I did play with pretty much every Linux image viewer out there. None is as good as IrfanView. It comes down to small but important things. For instance, in IrfanView, S will save a file, O will trigger the open dialog. Esc quits the program. Very fast. Most other programs use Ctrl + or Shift + modifiers, and that simply means more actions. I did once try to make GwenView use the full range of Irfan's shortcuts, but then I hit a problem of an ambiguous shortcut, wut. I really don't like the fact that hitting Esc takes you to a thumbnail overview mode. But that's what most programs do.

WINE configuration

The first step is to have WINE installed on your system. I am going to use the exact same method outlined in the SketchUp Make 2017 tutorial. I have the WINE repositories added, and I installed the 6.X branch on my system (at the time of writing).

IrfanView installation

Download the desired 32/64-bit version of the program and then install it. The process should be fast and straightforward. You will be asked to make file type association. You can do this, or simply skip the step, because it doesn't make any difference. You need to associate IrfanView as the default image viewer, if this is your choice, through your distros' file type management utility, whatever it may be.

And the program now works! In Plasma, on top of that, you can also easily pin the icon to the task manager.

Plugins and existing configuration(s)

Much like with Notepad++, you can import your existing workspace from a Windows machine. You can copy plugins into the plugins folder, and the IrfanView INI files into the AppData/Roaming folder. If you don't have any plugins, but you'd like to use some, then you will need to download the IrfanView plugins bundle, extract it, and then selectively, manually copy the plugins into the WINE installation folder. For instance, for the 64-bit version of the program, this is the path:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/IrfanView/Plugins

As a crude example, you may want to make IrfanView be able to open WebP files. In that case, you will need to copy the WebP.dll file into the folder above, and relaunch the program. Or you can copy the entire set of IrfanView plugins. Your choice, of course.

Conclusion

And thus, IrfanView is now part of our growing awesome collection of dependable tools that will make the Windows to Linux migration easier. I am quite sure the Linux purists will be angry by this article, as well as the other tutorials. But the real solution is to develop programs with equivalent if not superior functionality, and then, there will be no reason for any WINE hacks.

If you're an IrfanView user, and you're pondering a move to Linux, then you should be happy with this guide. It shows how to get the program running, and even import old settings and plugins. I've been using IrfanView in Linux for many years, and there have been no problems. That doesn't say anything about the future, of course, but then, if you look at what Windows was 10 years ago, and what it is now, it doesn't really matter. Well, that's the end of our mini-project for today. See you around. More tutorials on the way!

Cheers.

Configuring Zephyr: A Deep Dive into Kconfig

We presented The Zephyr Project RTOS and illustrated a personal best practice for beginning with "Zephyr" in an earlier blog post. A custom West manifest file is a great way to guarantee that your code is always at a known baseline when you begin development, as you saw in that blog post. Following the creation of your custom manifest file and the establishment of your baseline repositories using West, what comes next in your Zephyr journey?

Enabling particular peripherals, features, and subsystems is one of the first steps in putting embedded software into practice. Some MCU manufacturers, like STM32, Microchip, and TI, have tools in their IDEs that let developers add subsystems to their codebase and enable peripherals in their projects. These tools, however, are closely related to the MCUs that the vendors sell. Applying these tools' functionality to other MCUs is challenging, if not impossible.

However, we can enable a specific MCU subsystem or feature using a vendor-neutral mechanism provided by The Zephyr Project RTOS. For people like me who don't like GUIs, this mechanism can be used with a command line. The name of this utility is "Kconfig." I'll go over what Kconfig is, how it functions, and the various ways we can use it to incorporate particular features and subsystems into our Zephyr-based project in this blog post.

WHAT IS KCONFIG?

Kconfig is still utilized today as a component of the kernel compilation process, having been initially created as part of the Linux kernel. Kconfig has a particular grammar. Although fascinating, the specifics of how Kconfig is implemented in the Linux kernel are outside the purview of this blog post. Alternatively, if you're interested, you can read my article here: (https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2021/244/Kconfig-Deep-Dive), which walks through the Kconfig source code. However, after seeing an example, it's simple to become familiar with the format of a "Kconfig"—the slang term for a specific configuration option. The Kconfig system consists of three primary components.

First, there is the collection of Kconfig files scattered across different OS codebase directories. For example, if we look under "drivers/led" within the Zephyr codebase, we see a file named Kconfig with the following contents:  menuconfig LED     bool "Light-Emitting Diode (LED) drivers"     help      Include LED drivers in the system configurationif LED...config LED_SHELL    bool "LED shell"    depends on SHELL    help      Enable LED shell for testing.source "drivers/led/Kconfig.gpio"...endif # LED

Using the if statement, the line that begins with "menuconfig" tells the Kconfig system that "LED" contains a number of feature options that are only visible if the "LED" feature is enabled. The user can then activate the "LED_SHELL" option if the "LED" feature is enabled. The result of this configuration option is a Boolean, which determines whether this feature is enabled or disabled, as the line that follows shows. If a configuration option refers to a particular configuration parameter, the result can also be an integer in addition to a Boolean. The line that starts with "depends" indicates that in order for the "LED_SHELL" feature to be visible, the "SHELL" feature needs to be enabled. As a result, only after the "LED" and "SHELL" features have been enabled will the "LED_SHELL" feature become visible. A more detailed explanation of the feature can be found in the two lines that begin with "help". Last but not least, the final line before the "endif" lets us refer to additional Kconfig files, which aids in classifying components. As though they were copied and pasted, the features of the referenced file are present in the current file. It is crucial to remember that the path to "source" comes from the Zephyr codebase's root.

HOW SHOULD YOU USE KCONFIG?

A collection of applications that enable users to enable or disable the features listed in all Kconfig files make up the second component of the Kconfig infrastructure. Zephyr provides a Visual Studio Code extension that enables users to carry out this task with a graphical user interface. For command line enthusiasts like myself, the VS Code extension provides an alternative to utilizing a graphical user interface. In order to configure Zephyr appropriately, the extension can accept a file, which is the final component of the Kconfig infrastructure and contains a set of configuration options that can be turned on or off. The following snippet shows an example. CONFIG_BT=yCONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL=yCONFIG_BT_GATT_CLIENT=yCONFIG_BT_MAX_CONN=1CONFIG_BT_L2CAP_TX_MTU=250CONFIG_BT_BUF_ACL_RX_SIZE=254

There is nothing complicated about the file format. "CONFIG_" appears at the start of each line, and then the configuration option's name. After the "=" symbol, the line either ends with a "y" to activate the feature or a "n" to deactivate it. In the example above, we configure the stack parameters and activate the Bluetooth stack in Zephyr along with specific stack features. "prj. conf," which contains user-defined features, is the default file in the majority of Zephyr-based applications.

 

CONCLUSION

The Zephyr Project RTOS provides a robust, vendor-neutral mechanism called the Kconfig infrastructure that allows us to fully configure our entire application. It can be used to control particular subsystems and peripherals within the MCU in addition to turning on or off individual stacks within the RTOS and setting configuration parameters.

A Week of Troubleshooting [My Own Stupidity]

Day 159 - Apr 12th, 12.024

I have been trying to host Forgejo (a lightweight software forge and repository hosting service, forked from Gitea) in my home lab/server for the past week. Falling over and over again and loosing hair because of stress with errors which I can blame anyone besides me. So why not finally tell this little history, since I finally was able to make everything work? Because I really don't know what to feel.

The Context

For these past months I have been working on automating some tasks in my life and career using a home server and various self-hosted services. I won't go into too much detail since it is a topic for another post, but the main piece of this automating system is the Forgejo/Gitea actions feature, similar to GitHub Actions which you probably already know of (and if you don't know or aren't a programmer, just think of it as something that runs tasks automatically for you based on some predefined actions/triggers that you can configure).

My home lab is configured with NixOS, a Linux distro based on the Nix package manager, that lets me configure the whole computer using a single collection of files. The main reason for using this distro is of course the ability to have a portable configuration, which I can use and apply in any computer, but also, another advantage is being able to write and setup everything on a single file format. It is pretty much like writing a cooking book with a collection of recipes organized in categories and the same format, instead of a bunch of sticky notes with different recipes scatted around on some drawer or something. I have been using Nix for a year now on my desktop, so I'm somewhat familiar with it, and my home lab was already running with it hosting some other services like AdGuard Home and Tailscale.

In general, I hadn't a lot of troubles with this setup.

The First Domino Piece

Setting up Forgejo in NixOS is somewhat simple, since it is pretty much a matter of enabling it with:

And it was what I did some months ago when I first settled it up, so I have been using it for hosting some coding projects and backing them up to Codeberg and/or GitHub, without any specific reason, I just like to have and use it.

But then I went to try using Forgejo Actions, and discover that for using them, I needed to set up another service with it, the Forgejo/Gitea Actions Runner. And going through the options, I found the options to enable it, so again, it was a simple matter of doing something like:

Then, after some issues here and there and just following the documentation, the runner was up. I tested it with some simple scripts, and they ran in their containers successfully. However, there was something which I needed to test, in GitHub/Forgejo/Gitea actions, you need to use an action called "checkout" to get the code from the repository and put it inside the container, so you can run things on top of it and manipulate it as you wish. And obviously I needed it to run my automation scripts and system. So I tested and...

This is not the exact error since I wasn't able to get a screenshot at the time, however the reason was pretty much the same, there was some connection error.

So, I started to tweak my config, and seeing retrospectively, I was lost. The main thing for me at the time was if the error was related to the URL that I used to connect to the Forgejo instance, since because of the Tailscale network on top and the AdGuard Home config, there were five possible URLs that I could use: 192.168.1.13:3030, the local IP on my home's network; localhost:3030, the URL which "makes the server look up its own ports/IP's"; homelab.tailnet-name.ts.net:3030, the readable URL which Tailscale gives for that machine; 100.69.013.10:3030, which is the IP of the home lab on the Tailscale network; And forgejo.homelab.local, a local domain that redirects to the Forgejo instance, configured using Adguard. On top of that, the Forgejo Actions runner has two config values that can affect the URL that the actions, services.forgejo.settings.actions.DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL and services.gitea-actions-runner.instances.<instance>.url, both of them which I didn't know correctly how they affected the actions.

And so I spend pretty much a whole day just switching combinations, rebuilding and rebuilding the NixOS config, trying different combinations to see if any one of these worked, but nothing. All combinations didn't worked. Nonetheless, there were also Tailscale and Adguard, so I also tried tweaking, enabling and disabling, trying everything that I could to see if they were affecting or not and trying to fix the issue. Installed and removed Forgejo and Forgejo Runner again and again, because as always, I also had customized a lot of things before actually testing them, so I needed to rip out and put together everything to see if I screwed up something, trying to navigate also between the layers of abstractions that I made on the configuration.

And then, I went to bed, after unsuccessfully trying to fix the issue.

On the next day, I pretty much started going directly to the computer. For context, I wanted to finish this setup somewhat quickly to continue my other projects that depended on it, so I started to save time by not doing my normal routine (this probably was one of the worst of my decisions ever). I started to again see if I forgot something, if some configuration on another file was affecting it, and then for some reason that I don't remember anymore, I noticed an option called networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts, which I had used to enable the ports for AdGuard Home to work...

And like a pass of magic, the checkout action worked and cloned the repository contents.

The Rewrite

After said success, I continue the configuration of the home lab, and things were getting out of control really quickly. I don't know if it is because I learned JavaScript as my first language, but I do tend to try abstract things a lot. In non-technical terms, I tend to hide away a lot of [necessary] complexity under an all-encompassing function or interface, which backfires a lot. And I was doing that with my configuration, trying to join systems with different scopes under the same umbrella, and of course, thing started to get out of control.

And just to kick me more, probably in between all this abstraction and trying to fix the Forgejo Actions... I apparently broke something, which made me unable to connect to Forgejo via SSH. So after one entire day abstracting, the next one I ripped out everything and started to make my NixOS config something more sane and straight forward, and I think that the commit message for this refactor tells a lot about how my mind was:

And after some two more days also migrating my desktop configuration, everything was finally easier to understand and reason about. I did end up forgetting to enable my window and session manager when migrating the desktop config, nothing really difficult to fix using Vim/NeoVim, but I do admire how the computer looks with just the terminal and how many programmers started and maybe to this day program with monitors showing something like this:

Banging My Head Against the Wall

At this point around four days had passed, and it was Tuesday, and I had started all of this on the past week on Friday. All these days, I wasn't having my normal routine or taking a lot of care with myself, going to sleep a lot more late and tired than normal, and even if this month I do need to push my limit, this was a lot more than necessary, and was also affecting my time that I had with my girlfriend, since I couldn't stop thinking about work or have the energy to give attention to her, which also affected my own insecurities and anxiety, feeling like a bad partner to her. Everything because of a god-damn configuration.

However, I didn't want to stop or give up, I love programming, and if I don't make this server work, I won't be able to continue with my plans. So I continued to push, frustrate myself, and bang my head against the wall until this works.

The Forgejo Actions were working, but the SSH push and pull wasn't, and again, because apparently I don't know how to troubleshoot, I started to tweak the config again and again, for another entire day, counting also other issues and problems that I had with the migration. This was something which I acknowledge at the time, but I was feeling and acting lost, never knowing what thing was causing these issues and having tunnel vision. I tried seeing if it was something with what IP I was using, if it was something somehow related to the proxy and AdGuard DNS redirects, and nothing changed. Every time I tried to push or pull via SSH, I got something like fatal: user/repository.git does not appear to be a repository. What was I doing wrong?!?

I forgot to add my SSH Key to the Forgejo user account, that was what I was doing wrong. I fucking should have taken a step back when I noticed that via https it worked as normal, in all IPs or URLs.

But now, remember the checkout action? It wasn't working again. So I did the same fix from before, allowed the TCP port, allowed also for UDP jut in case, and... the same error, ECONNREFUSED. Again, I started by changing the IPs and URLs in the config, however this time, when I used something different from localhost:3030, I got a different output:

And with the foresight of today, I really should have thought a little more why it was a different error, unfortunately I didn't, and started to again write and rewrite config properties, even rewriting the whole Forgejo and Forgejo Actions config, without any success, the day ended, and I have never been so stressed and tired with a project than this.

I really want to be clear that not so many days before all of this, I had a lot of problems and stress with my greater family, problems which really worried about the situation of my parents and the urgency for me to get a job. Thankfully, my parents and I are on a stable situation, and they are really supportive and let me take my time to find a job and hunt what I love, but still, the pressure that I put and need to put on myself to get a job, not only to help my parents, but to also have financial independence and start the first steps in having a home with my partner, all of this was stressing and putting even more weight into this whole thing. Yes, I can find a job without any of these, and I am actively sending resumes where I can, however, this project, server and plan could hopefully really help my situation. And besides all of that, I love programming, I love finding solutions, automating things, seeing the unbelievable amount of progress bars and log streams of processes running, I love this job. So being so.. bad at it, really was hitting my mind.

The day passed, and now it is Friday, the same day that I'm writing this blog post. I fell asleep without even giving goodnight to my girlfriend because of the amount of exhaustion that I had this past night. Thankfully I woke up somewhat on a good mood, even with the stress and exhaustion I was able to get some good sleep and distract myself on the past night to improve my mood in general. However, I needed to fix this issue, already passed an entire week, and fixing or not, I couldn't continue this the next week, I know how much one week can burn out my motivations and love for programming, so, or I fix this, or I change projects and make this a future Guz's problem. At the start it was the same as yesterday, just trying to tweak configurations, even reverting changes to a working state without any success or difference. But then, I started to actually debug this thing, doing something which I really should have done before: test if it is a connection issue or not in the first place. Yes, it is obvious at this point, but when I have tunnel vision on a problem, I really can't think clearly. Nonetheless, I tried using ping to test the connection and...

It wasn't a connection issue... ok... I have to admit that at first glance it just confused me even more, but at least now it isn't a problem with my config? Wait, could it be a problem with the checkout action itself now? How? It was compatible and working with Forgejo without any problems just days ago, and it didn't have any type of update in between these days. I started to search if there was something on the internet about this problem, trying to see if anyone had the ECONNREFUSED problem, but nothing. The Forgejo and Gitea mirrors of the action didn't have anything, nor the issues in the original repository. Maybe it was something related to an API difference between GitHub and Forgejo somehow? The logs say about trying to access an endpoint called /api/v3/repos/{owner}/{repo}/tarball/{ref} to download the archive of the repository, and the "not found" error could be related to some authorization to the endpoint error? Forgejo does show a 404 page when you try to access a private repository or page without authorization, same when you try to clone something via SSH without a key.

Well, I tried to test using curl to the same endpoint, and it returned 404, but the other endpoints didn't... nor in the actions, so it wasn't something with the API it seems...

I went into the Gitea API documentation and... where the fuck is the /tarball endpoint?! It is a GitHub only endpoint! Wait, so why it was working before? What happened? Well, I try to find anything about this endpoint on the GitHub actions, some type of error, or maybe a configuration to use another end point? And for my surprise, searching for "tarball" on the action's repository..

I will hug my girlfriend and cry, brb.

---

Yes, this whole nightmare was because Git wasn't installed on the docker image. And you may be asking why before it didn't use the API fallback? Well, it seems like the official NodeJS debian docker images had Git already installed on them, however, after the rewrite, I started using Gitea's official docker images for actions runner, which don't come with Git preinstalled it seems. And installing Git using apt-get install -y git gave me the confirmation, because the checkout action worked right after it.

Something to Learn in This Chaos

I have been writing this blog post for an entire day now, starting it right after the break to breathe that I needed to have after the action worked.

Foresight really makes me fell stupid right now, not gonna lie. This isn't the first time I'm having this felling, actually in this job is kinda something expected I would say, and the feeling of finally fixing it is rewarding. However, I do feel like it wasn't a healthy way of handling this issue. Again, the pressure I put on myself wasn't helping, and prohibiting me from taking a ten-minute break to rest my mind, really didn't help with the tunnel vision issue, because all the problems that I had were because I wasn't reading the errors correctly and trying to fix things totally unrelated to the problem at hand. And probably, one of the biggest things to me in this entirety, is the fact that I need to learn how to debug problems and narrow the possible causes of them, I wouldn't have known that the problem was Git not being installed, if I didn't have tested the connections with ping and curl on the first place. Will I actually learn because of this experience? Probably not, I will maybe have a lot more weeks of stress until I finally learn and start constructing some muscular memory for this. However, at least now with this blog post, I have somewhere to look back to if I ever need to configure Forgejo again lol.

And, I know that everyone is different and yadda yadda, but having someone with me this entire week, someone which I could rest on her shoulder and calm myself without feeling guilty or something else, someone to talk and have support from, really helped on not going downhill into a harsh burnout I would say. Eu te amo Helena.

Titan (Final Effect)

Lucy drifted aimlessly through virtual space. This was an ancient part of the InfoNet, a server dedicated to data from the original Remnant System. It was home to countless historical archives and virtual monuments, and she allowed herself to bask in the information they provided.

She was going to be visiting Remnant with Kya soon. The older woman was unyielding in her opinion that every person should have the chance to visit it at least once. They were, after all, the Children of Remnant. What kind of children would they be if they did not visit their mother at least once in their lifetimes?

As she tumbled through an archive of data from the Age of Heroes and swam through an ocean of audiovisual files dedicated to the legends of the past, she became aware of eyes upon her. She looked up and ran a suite of sensory programs to try to identify who was tracking her.

She needn’t have bothered.

A titan made of golden fire appeared above her, a blinding, radiant presence in the InfoNet whose mere presence made her shudder in a combination of awe and terror. Unbidden, a dozen defensive programs spun up, ready to identify and exterminate any attempted breaches or to lead them down rabbit holes of junk data and spam if they couldn’t. Four emergency escape programs loaded. She could forcefully eject herself from the InfoNet if necessary or flee onto one of the fortified servers the Satos maintained as safe houses for explorers operating under their banner.

The golden fire intensified and then settled... into the shape of a lawnmower.

“What the actual fuck?” Lucy muttered.

Kya appeared beside her, the Sato chuckling as she activated a complex identification sequence and hailed the lawnmower. “Don’t mind him. He likes to wander when he’s in maintenance mode, and he’s probably wondering why someone who is not a Sato is exploring the InfoNet under our banner.”

The lawnmower replied with a burst of code so complex that it took almost a minute for Lucy’s translation software to decipher it. The message was surprisingly simple.

Get off my lawn.

“Technically,” Kya drawled. “This isn’t your lawn. This server is under the administration of the Knights of Remnant, and Lucy here has their approval.”

Another burst of code followed, and she once again had to wait a minute or so before she could make heads or tails of it.

They can go screw themselves.

“Hah!” Kya laughed. “You haven’t changed a bit.” She turned. “Come on, Lucy.”

“You’re not worried?” Lucy asked, keeping a close eye on the titanic lawnmower.

“Nah. He’s a big curmudgeon, but he’s mostly harmless unless you’re trying to do anything shady. Trust me. If he wanted you dead, he’d have uploaded a program capable of frying your implants and driving you insane by now. He’s just posturing.”

“Oh.” Lucy followed Kya through a portal, and they re-emerged into a vivid representation of a garden. If she wasn’t mistaken, this place was a repository of information about Beacon, which was one of the places they would be visiting. “Who is he?”

“He’s the lawnmower.”

Lucy blinked. “I know he’s a lawnmower but -”

“No. He’s the lawnmower. You’ve probably heard of Oerba Dia Vanille.” Lucy nodded. Of course, she had. Ever explorer had. Oerba Dia Vanille had been one of the two creators of the InfoNet back during the Age of Heroes. “He is her lawnmower, as in the one that has been around since the Age of Heroes. You know, the one who handles the gardens on Lumina Prime.”

“But... but why is he like that?” Lucy asked.

She had seen Synthetics in the InfoNet, and none of them had possessed the same presence in the InfoNet as the lawnmower.

“I mean... he’s a lawnmower.” Lucy tried to wrap her mind around it and failed.

“He was Oerba Dia Vanille’s lawnmower, and he is the oldest complex artificial intelligence in existence. He even predates Penny Polendina. Since Vanille was never one to do things in half measures, she had him fully equipped for physical and cyber warfare. Her descendants have been upgrading him ever since.” Kya grinned. “The lawnmower is considered an Alpha-One level threat... and he has Tier-One Priority Access to the InfoNet.”

“...” Lucy stared. “You’re joking.”

“Nope.”

“I can’t believe it.”

An Alpha-One level threat was one theoretically capable of breaching all but the most secure strongholds of the InfoNet singlehandedly. Basically, if something wasn’t protected by the Dia-Farron, the Sato, or the Schnee, the lawnmower would be able to break into it. And Tier-One Priority Access? Incredible. The lawnmower had the ability to interface with and access the foundational and essential infrastructure of the InfoNet in a way that was forbidden to all but the most privileged of users.

“What... what does he do with all that power?” Lucy asked.

“Mostly, he just uploads footage and pictures of the gardens,” Kya said. “It’s what he does, and he enjoys doing it. Other than that, he mostly just likes to keep an eye on several parts of the InfoNet. If he sees anything out of line, he investigates it. Depending on what it is, he terminates it or throws it to the Dia-Farron to handle.”

“You wanted me to meet him, didn’t you?” Lucy asked.

“Yep.” Kya nodded. “You’re good, Lucy, very damn good at this. But you need to remember that there is always a bigger fish out there. Some of those fish are largely neutral like the lawnmower. But some of them... well, it’s better you lose any arrogance you might have before you meet them.”

“Like who?” Lucy was curious now.

“ESCHATON is one I hope you never meet.” Kya chuckled. “As you are now, just being near him would probably blank your mind.”

“Who is he?”

“SENTINEL is the Guardian AI the Dia-Farron have tasked with overseeing most of their virtual security. ESCHATON is the swift and terrible sword of the Dia-Farron, a complex AI whose main purpose is to exterminate threats once they have been identified. Basically, he’s the InfoNet equivalent of scorched earth, heads on pikes, and cities on fire. As far as we know, his deployment requires the express approval of both the Supreme Professor and the Supreme Administrator of the Dia-Farron. Outside of them, the only ones who can request his deployment - but not order it - are SENTINEL and the empress.”

“Wow.” Lucy shuddered. “How will I know if ESCHATON is nearby?”

“Oh, trust me. You’ll know. The whole InfoNet usually knows. He’s not exactly subtle.”

Discovering a Free Icon Website with the Perfect Trash Can Icon

In the evolving world of digital design, one of the most common needs for creatives, developers, and marketers is access to a high-quality free icon website. Whether you're building an app interface, designing a website, or enhancing a presentation, icons play a crucial role in visual storytelling. Among the wide range of icon categories available, the Free trash can Icon is surprisingly one of the most frequently downloaded due to its utility in interfaces, especially for delete functions and file management features.

When searching for a reliable free icon website, it’s essential to choose one that not only offers a vast library of icons but also ensures consistency in design, compatibility with various platforms, and flexibility in file formats. This is where online resources shine, giving users access to professionally designed icons without the need to create visuals from scratch. For many professionals, this is not just a convenience—it’s a necessity.

Take, for instance, the Free trash can Icon, which appears simple but needs to meet specific criteria. It should be instantly recognizable, blend seamlessly into modern user interfaces, and be available in multiple styles such as flat, outline, or filled. Designers often need to use this icon across different background colors and device screens, which makes having options in terms of resolution and format incredibly important.

The right platform doesn’t just offer volume—it offers variety and quality. On a top-tier free icon website, users can expect icons that align with current design standards. Whether you're looking for a minimalistic version for a sleek, modern interface or a more detailed variant for illustrative purposes, the library typically has multiple options to suit your needs. These icons are usually downloadable in SVG, PNG, EPS, or even webfont formats, allowing easy integration across digital environments.

Another benefit of such platforms is the ability to customize icons before downloading. Designers can often adjust colors, rotate, resize, and even edit certain visual elements to better suit their projects. This level of flexibility enhances workflow efficiency, saving precious time that would otherwise be spent on graphic editing software. For example, when adjusting the Free trash can Icon to match a dark-mode theme or a high-contrast accessibility design, such built-in tools are incredibly useful.

Usability is further enhanced by search filters and tagging systems, helping users find exactly what they need in seconds. This efficiency becomes especially important for teams working on tight deadlines or projects that require rapid iteration. Instead of scouring different platforms or designing icons from scratch, they can rely on a single source that offers trusted, quality assets.

One more significant aspect of using a free icon website is licensing. A reputable site makes licensing terms clear and easy to understand, which is crucial when using assets for commercial or public-facing projects. Whether you’re working on a business website, an e-commerce app, or educational content, you need to be sure your use of the Free trash can Icon and other graphics doesn’t violate copyright or licensing terms.

Beyond just individual users, such icon platforms benefit agencies, startups, and development firms that require large-scale access to visual assets. A comprehensive icon repository with free access is a cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise on design quality. It empowers creators to maintain professional standards without inflating project budgets.

In addition, the platform’s responsive user interface and regular updates mean that users always have access to the latest trends in design. Icon styles evolve over time, and having fresh, up-to-date content ensures your visuals stay modern. For instance, the Free trash can Icon may be available in a newly released gradient style or with subtle 3D shading to match the look of contemporary interfaces.

Design is all about communication, and icons are a visual shorthand that helps users interact with technology effortlessly. With access to a trusted free icon website, professionals can enhance user experiences, build beautiful products, and keep workflows efficient—all without the burden of additional costs or extended production timelines.

In conclusion, platforms like this serve as a creative toolbox for digital professionals. From sourcing a basic yet essential Free trash can Icon to exploring thousands of other visual assets, the value they bring to the design process is undeniable. With only a few clicks, designers, developers, and content creators unlock an entire world of possibility—streamlining their work and elevating their final product.
