@shriramk@mastodon.social There doesn't appear to be a pipeline of PhD -> Book, in India, as in the humanities in the US. So popular historians (this author doesn't appear to be a professional historian) don't have a rich set of both primary and historical scholarship to collate from.

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://scholar.social/@khinsen" class="u-url mention">@<span>khinsen</span></a></span> I wish! The problem is there's no such thing as "Indian" history because there's really no such thing as "India", historically speaking. It's not much different than trying to find a single unifying book about "Europe", as opposed to Romans, Pax Romana, Celts, Britain and its invaders, Holy Rom Emp, Renaissance, Reformation…etc.</p>

I want to make N channel PWM fan controller with tacho because on this motherboard fans are exposed only to BMC and you can’t control them from the host system. </p><p>What is the easiest/right way to expose it so it’s visible to lm-sensors? Basically I see two sane options: some kind of standard usb device type, but I couldn’t find that one (never done that). Or serial-over-usb + some custom protocol + kernel driver (never done that either, but I think I might pull this off). Third option is to skip driver part and directly shit over sysfs with files mimicking hwmon layout and just watch them with some script. But it feels fragile</p><p>What would you do? Thanks!</p>
