    That is a key area too. I know that most of the distros are working in that direction[1], and in the case of Fedora, openSUSE or Debian they are reaching high level of reproducibil…

    What I do not understand is why not to work with the openSUSE community, or fork from them. But instead use a USA based distro like Fedora. openSUSE has all their tooling based in …

    It is still under development, but try Keylime[1]. They have also a nice agent written in Rust[2] with low footprint. I write some notes[3] about how to use it in openSUSE MicroOS …

    Windows security models and policies are the enemy, not remote attestation (RA). RA is a technology that has its fair use, and can be desired for other systems, like in Linux. With…

    Seems that it can convert from Python to Perl: https://beta.openai.com/playground/p/o4qZWSXVz8JMmVaI9j9NMIK...

    I submitted this entry because IMHO is the first survey, that I am aware of, that is giving some data about the Rust toolchain inside a distribution. I guess that openSUSE can be a…

    We (openSUSE) are doing this in controlled situations. We have a build system (OBS) that create VMs for us every time that we want to create / update a new package. Those VMs are i…

    I think that is this a bit unfair for SUSE. We (I am employee here) have a long tradition of innovation and failing in communication. We had OBS, that is some kind of build system …
