Created a working driver to drive a LCD 20x4 display based on HD44780U (http://www.exp-tech.de/Displays/I2C-LCD-1602-Module-652.html) via PCF8574 i2c bus expander driven from a raspberrypi.
import smbus

import sys
from time import *
from time import gmtime, strftime
# TODO: Factor out all device_write calls to some PCF8574 specific module ...
# will be different with another io expander
# communication from expander to display: high nibble first, then low nibble

Enable TRIM in OS X 10.7.5 to 10.9.5

Enable TRIM on non-Apple SSDs in OS X

NOTE: This is tested on the versions mentioned in the title, and NOT earlier or later versions. YMMV.

Run the following commands in Terminal…

Backup the original driver:

sudo cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage-backup

Debian 13 trixie upgrade

Debian 13 "Trixie"

To start, read the official release notes.

If your install fits into "vanilla Debian plus maybe a handful of 3rd-party repos", then this guide for a simple upgrade to Debian 13 "trixie" from Debian 12 "bookworm" can be helpful. 3rd-party repos are handled with a find command.

If you are on a fork of Debian such as RasPI OS, use their instructions, not this gist.

Note upgrade is only supported from Debian 12 to Debian 13. If you are on Debian 11, upgrade to Debian 12 first. Then once on Debian 12, you can upgrade to Debian 13.
