Just learned how to update OVMF_VARS.fd offline before running QEMU:

 virt-fw-vars \
    --input "$OUTPUT/OVMF_VARS.fd" \
    --output "$OUTPUT/OVMF_VARS.fd" \
    --append-boot-filepath /EFI/debian/grubx64.efi

E.g., in Debian the package containing virt-fw-vars is python3-virt-firmware but it is also available from PIP: https://pypi.org/project/virt-firmware/

#qemu #ovmf

IMHO still the best "top". atop has especially come handy over the years in kernel debugging given the vast amounts of detailed proc data it shows: https://atoptool.nl/

Going to observe and learn Azure and Intune attestation at work next week :-) Got a tenant to play with. Also nice chance to use Wireshark, which I don't use that often.

Renewed +3 years of Sublime Text and Merge.

I use 80% of time vim but if I really need GUI editor (e.g., for presenting in a meeting) I use Sublime Text (with a Vim emulation plugin). It has one single advantage over VSCode, Zed and many other modern GUI editor: OpenGL rasterizer AND a hand-crafted software rasterizer optimized for actually decent performance with zero glitches. It’s a life-saver, when the GPU driver does not work ;-)

#sublimetext #vim

For what it is worth, this is how a file creation can be backtracked:

$ git -P log --diff-filter=A --follow 1.24.0 -- src/plugins/intel/mm-plugin-intel.c
commit 40c791e293c9c58106a256ec0b251f28ebcd068a
Author: som <somashekhar.puttagangaiah@intel.com>

    intel: new plugin for PCI devices with vendor id 0x8086
    
    For now, just detecting the device and creating generic MBIM or AT
    based modems.

Given --follow, it also takes renames into account.

Reminder to myself ;-)

The 19th is looking for a full-stack engineer! It's a lovely team doing important work. If you're looking for a mission-driven, US-based full-stack role, this is the one. https://19thnews.org/full-stack-engineer-employee-hire/

EDIT: NOT removing this post as it is still informative. As @oleksandr (thanks) pointed out it has Russian binding. So probably going back to the drawing board and finding something else for Chrome.

#fastmail does not have "envelope-to" or similar when configuring rules i.e., you have to go raw Sieve to reach that but I hope this will be sufficient workaround :-)

Migrated to #fastmail for my personal email and @kernel.org. #email
