This echos of Google's strategy with Chromium.

Ditto on having services expressed in more portable/cross distro containers. With NixOS in particular, I've found the best of both worlds by using podman quadlets via this flake in…

This "NixOS & Flakes Book" https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world was posted to HN some years ago and is still a good/relevant read.

On a whim, there is a nuanced situation with some Realtek (RTL8671B) bluetooth firmware on Linux that is 'solved' by downgrading firmware version. This random gist has a nice threa…

I've wondered if that's to make dealing with full disk backup/forensic collections/retention legal hold/etc easier: keep the official amount of end-user device storage to a minimum…

Somewhat reminds me of a project out of IBM some years back: "Billy Goat" https://dominoweb.draco.res.ibm.com/reports/rz3609_revised.p... (bummer looks the site certificate expired…

Another rough take with some orchestra music from Stellaris, of all things. Start the SpaceX video and 'Towards Utopia' at around the 2:21 mark https://youtu.be/887f76RXvdE?t=141

I replaced the Slack client with wee-slack [ https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack ]. It brings a much more "zen" experience to using Slack and better compliments my keyboard-cent…

It appears the short 'magic link' was along the lines of https://www[.]klm[.]nl/s/AbCdEf

Looks like support for S3 Express was merged in with version 1.30 just a few hours ago https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3/pull/642

If you're on a distro which has migrated to pipewire+wireplumber, the available and active bluetooth profiles can be discovered with something like: pw-dump | jq -r '.[] | select(.…

I experienced a similar sounding issue, but was able to decipher the blocked emerge output from portage to find that app-crypt/tpm2-tss-engine was blocking the whole system from ge…

Ooooh yes.. Fond memories of attending a few events that were hosted by Hurricane Electric on folding tables in some conference room annex of their data center. And the marvel of f…

Definitely lower battery consumption than Alacritty, at least while this is still an unresolved issue https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3108

Perhaps tpm2-pkcs11 and its ptool are approachable enough? https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-pkcs11/blob/master/doc...

I am reminded of an article some years ago about a group that claimed to detect/track the F-35 via this sort of passive radar technique. https://archive.is/1t5eT and/or https://www…

It may be worth checking the fzf plugin you're using with Fish. There is a more recent+maintained effort[0] that brings an even more delightful feature set, particularly with Ctrl+…

There is a pretty well updated cli for Slack built on top of WeeChat (hailing from IRC heritage) https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack

When browser managed credentials are synchronized across devices, an attacker may be able to move laterally into an enterprise by compromising the personally managed device or pers…

Really depends on the role of the system. Will it be multi-user/single-user? Hosting containers? Hosting virtual machines? Running as a virtual machine? Doing network magic? Each o…

Would only suggest using the Pi's HDMI output to an "HDMI audio extractor", feeding out toslink/spdif to something else, and avoid having the Pi DAC involved with it's 3.5mm output…

There is some rough functionality for operations with wlroots via wlrctl https://git.sr.ht/~brocellous/wlrctl and more generically (via uinput) ydotool https://github.com/ReimuNotM…

Some vendors may only 'test' as far as getting the compiler to produce something without errors. So, first thing an end-user/consumer/enterprise customer can do when encountering a…

The Lexend group was formed out of research on second grade students (US) [ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3777945/ ] that lead them to a font design [ https://design…
