Turns out Universal Blue Aurora works great on a Chuwi Minibook X, with only minor issues! But, let’s back up - what’s a Chuwi Minibook X, and why did you get one and put Linux on it?
Introducing the Chuwi Minibook X

The Minibook X is a very small laptop with a hinged touchscreen display that’s reiminiscent of Netbooks of yore. But with actually decent performance for the price. It also comes with 12 GB of RAM,... Read More
Welcome to the last post in my end-of-2024 Auth series. This post covers the "other" stuff that I didn't cover in the previous 4 posts. It's mostly just the fun wrap up post to hit some things you probably won't need to know about but might want to know more about.
Here we are again! This time we're going to talk about one of my favorite subsets of this topic: Passkeys. You should mentally prepare yourself for this, it's going to be a lot of information and a fair amount of it is dense.

Welcome to part 2 of the rambling journey through how to do authentication systems yourself (or at least understand how they work). This time it's an extension of part 1, where we learned how to do Username and Password Authentication. It's a topic that's pretty closely attached to that "now that I can log users in, what can I do to make their account resistant to nefarious multidimensional entities who wish to look at their weird game history?"
Okay, maybe you're not asking that exact... Read More
Hello and welcome to the first part of a multipart post series where I'll dig through the depths of authentication knowledge and share all of that with you, including some deep lore of how we got from the early days of the internet to today (though, I'm a millennial, so I wasn't exactly a web professional back then. Neopets all the way).
😈
This guide is targeted primarily at web developers who want a deeper look at authentication implementations and some (but not all) of the considerations... Read More
