I've messed something up with the bootloader on my Orange Pi 5 Plus and I'm looking for help in digging out of this mess.

While playing with Pxvirt (Proxmox port for ARM SBCs), I had the genius idea to swap out u-boot for this EDK2 UEFI firmware: https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588

Now, when I attempt to boot from USB or SD, it just pops back to the UEFI screen.

I've manually removed every boot option except the USB or SD, but no luck. I've also completely formatted my eMMC and NVME to FAT32, since that seems to be the only filesystem UEFI will recognize.

I've connected to the OPi via Maskrom and flashed the SPI NOR with U-Boot and SPL Loader from Radxa, but still boots to UEFI.

Using Maskrom, I also tried to completely erase the contents on SPI NOR and physically removed my eMMC and NVME drives, but it still booted to UEFI.

I've also completely formated my eMMC and NVME to FAT32, since that seems to be the only filesystem UEFI will recognize.

Some of the boot disks I've tried are: PXVirt installer Orange Pi's custom Debian Bullseye build Debian Trixie for Arm64 SystemRescue

Any recommendations on what I can do to get UEFI completely off this OPi and back to U-Boot? I don't really care whether U-Boot is on SPI or eMMC, just need something working.

I'm a big fan of Q Hayashida's style (Dorohedoro, Dai Dark) and would love some merch (shirts, hats, pins, etc.) with her designs, but everything I'm seeing is from unofficial sources. I'm not seeing anything in the publisher's shops either. Anyone know of sites selling Q Hayashida merch where I know the money will go toward the artist or the publisher (Shogakukan or Seven Seas Entertainment)?

My Netgear Nighthawk wifi router just crapped out last weekend and I’m gimping along on the rental wifi router from my ISP, so I’m looking to buy a replacement and am torn: should I go with a single WiFi Router or a wired router plus a wireless access point?

I don’t need crazy throughput, just enough to handle some lite home automation, streaming, and a future NAS. My house isn’t large, so wifi coverage with a single device hasn’t been a problem so far. I’m also interested in flashing OpenWRT or DD-WRT to the router, so compatibility is a consideration. Hardware recommendations would be great!

I have a small lemon tree that was bought from a local grower and came with the extra bonus of an Asian Citrus Psysllid infestation. The tree is dead now and I'd love to get a new tree, but want to make sure I've done everything I could to prevent a new tree from getting infested by any Psysllid still in the area.

Is there anything I can do to treat my soil or surrounding plants to make sure those little buggers aren't going to keep coming back? I'm in California where the sale of IMIDACLOPRID products is banned, which was previously the primary treatment for this.

I'm still dipping my toes into self hosting and trying to figure out what services I would want to be always accessible from my devices vs those that could be awakened by LAN, and which services should be installed at the OS level vs as containers.

As of now, I just have an OrangePi 5 Plus running Home Assistant Supervised under Debian and nothing else. I'm hoping to expand the OPi a bit and also build out another PC (hardware unknown) as a NAS media server and NextCloud machine.

Before I start doing anything I can't undo, I'm wondering if I' on the right track with my proposed setup in the image, or if there's anything else I should consider?

Hi all! Just curious where some of you find out about new games/systems. I used to really enjoy the RPG Of The Month thread on old Reddit before the site really went in the crapper, but not sure where to find similar discussions nowadays.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a physical remote control that can be used with HomeAssistant? I'm hoping to find a multi-button zigbee or wifi device that HA can recognize and allow me to configure buttons to HA automations.

I'm already using a couple single button devices that can be configured to perform different actions on single press, double press, and long press, but would love a single device with multiple buttons for some locations.

I used to more actively volunteer around the city, but now find that it's been WAY too long since I last got off my butt to help others. What are your suggestions for volunteer opportunities around the city?

I prefer tracking my TTRPG characters digitally and really hate PDFs, so I tend to make custom spreadsheets for each game I play. This is one I made for Werewolf 5e that not only tracks the same info you would see on the standard PDF, but also includes info on gifts, rites, advantages, and forms so I don't have to dig thru the rulebook for the things I need most often.

Feel free to copy and for yourself, or let me know here if there anything that could be improved in this shared sheet. I'll probably switch from Google Sheets to some other FOSS alternative in 2025.

I've also got character sheets for Changling 5e, Vampire 20th, and Masks: A New Generation if anyone here is interested, but those are older and probably not as fully fleshed out as this Werewolf sheet.
