The background makes ir better than systemd-boot at least. Still not nearly as good as what I had on grub tho. Now I need to figure out if I can customise the rest of it too and if I can send old generations to a separate menu.
Today’s goal was getting remote boot to work before traveling tomorrow tho, so that’s good enough for now.

Careful if you're copying around Firefox profiles and rely on settings to be retained: The default value for the about:config key datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled differs by I-don't-know-what. If you disable the "Send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" checkbox in an instance where it's default off, no value is stored (because it's "default"), and it may be on in another.

Fun observation: The CONFIG and CALIB registers on the PIC12F683 contain 12 documented bits each.
The physical die layout, however, contains 25 fuse cell instances not 24. So there is one undocumented bit, perhaps a chicken bit for something or an extra calibration setting, or maybe a parity check over some or all of the other fuses.
If it's an actual config bit my money is on bit 5 of CALIB which is documented as unimplemented/RAZ.
Maybe it's not? Or maybe it's…

If you're writing a library, you should really avoid #CMake. CMake is designed to lock you in. As in, once you release a #FreeSoftware project using CMake, you can't switch to another build system with causing real trouble to your users. And if you support multiple build systems, as soon as you start supporting CMake, some of your users are going to start locking everyone else in.
That's because CMake uses a custom package discovery mechanism that's hardly compatible with anything else, and that is so complex that it's very hard to reimplement it with any other build system. So when others start relying on the CMake config files being installed (and they naturally will, since that's how CMake does things), you can't stop installing them without actually breaking stuff. And if you want to preserve them without actually using CMake, well, good luck with that.
And if CMake is one of the options you support, then some of your consumers will accidentally start relying on it anyway. And this will be much worse for everyone, because now their projects won't work for people who build your project with any other build system. Which in turn will force more projects to use CMake anyway. Which in turn will make more people rely on CMake being used…
Use #Meson as the build system, it's clean and not designed to lock you in. Use pkg-config for library data; it's simple and portable.

C-b = ":echo %sh{git blame -L %{cursor_line}, 1 %{buffer_name}}"

A little byte swap here, a change to CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_VGA16 there, badabing badaboom - the framebuffer console has the right colors!
Linux assumes framebuffers to be little endian.
In case they are not, as I recall reading, the client is supposed to take care of conversion.
But what if the client is the (Linux internal) console driver?
I couldn't find a config option, so I hacked a byte swap into the color map helper (there are many similarly named functions btw):
