My personal favourite use of the colon command is what I've written about some years ago: https://johannes.truschnigg.info/writing/2021-12_colodebug/

I guess it is, but solar can only be part of the answer: You need a solid plan (and all the infrastructure that implementing this plan involves) for when the sun does not shine, be…

Long-term, that's the smart and also necessary move. But it can't be done overnight, and the transition has its significant challenges. I hope they don't mess it up it and will add…

Netgear GS308T, Netgear GS108T v3, and HPE JG925A.

With the 25.12 release, the luci app to use ASU for upgrades became installed by default in OpenWrt's "vanilla" images the project builds and provides for supported hardware and de…

Your OpenWrt ecosystem knowledge seems oudated; upgrades are a solved problem since the advent of "Attended Sysupgrade": https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.s…

Windows actually needs to be laid to rest forever. Win32 may live on as a legacy/stable API (via WINE) on superior free and open platforms.

Living in a city in Europe in a very decent apartment in a building that was erected in the 1880s (sic), this article made me chuckle - but also feel bad about how the throwaway so…

We use this technique in our team to distribute passphrases for our secondary secret stores (that contain instructions on how to access our primary secret stores) in a "democratica…

I recommend https://johannes.truschnigg.info/writing/2025-02-simple_effe... as an (imo) better approach than fail2ban parsing your logs to deal with the problem.

One of my most esteemed former co-workers used to say that whenever you succeed in making something idiot-proof, the universe will create a better idiot, undoing any progress you m…

Does Windows on ARM use VBS/Virtualization Based Security, and does ARM support nested virtualization to do so in a VM, too? Does it employ costly CPU vulnerability mitigation tech…

I'd say it's either because they're just having fun, or because they're dumb.

Thanks for this (and I actually learned about PS1's handy Unblock-File this very moment! :)), but I am aware of the "mark of the web"-stuff MSFT had introduced after realizing that…

"works just fine on Windows as it always has" is just not true. These days, I cannot even run my own cross-compiled Go executables of a cross-platform tool that I am developing in …

As a wireguard user myself (even on the lone Windows machine that I still begrundingly have), I am happy that this problem could have been resolved. I am just wondering - if there …

I am already donating the rough equivalent of the cheapest Microsoft 365 subscription to The Document Foundation each year, and won't stop now just because they're increasing the v…

Thanks, but no thanks. The only winning move, long-term, is to excise everything this wretched company makes from your life as vigorously as possible. It's been true 20 years ago, …

None of the missing ones have proper, official, upstream LineageOS support. If you install LineageOS on these, you install somebody's own, personal fork of LineageOS. Which might b…

A true hero and legend. RIP.

I disagree. If LineageOS builds were actually unsigned, I would have no way of verifying that release N was signed by the same private-key-bearing entity that signed release N-1, w…

LineageOS isn't unsigned, it just happens to be signed by keys that are not "trusted" (i.e., allowed - thanks for the correction!) by the phone's bootloaders.

No.

Yeah, they can fuck right off with that kind of shit idea.
