@ljs it is also nice to get chance to work a bit entities like ethereum foundation (and earlier enarx) because it is at the same time chance to see how all this looks from a perspective of a users and not just e.g. kselftest :-)

@ljs yeah i actually do enjoy now a lot of working in tee and confidential computing area. at some point i thought i was bored but now i'm feeling confident that it is good place to stay. also it helps that distributions and cloud service provides have seemed to gained new interest to these technologies and they are getting enabled (like TPM2 across the board). So yeah probably also plan to stick on making sure that we can identify software that runs in host and also in the cloud (not just server where the software runs) :-) i don't think this is coming less important at least...

@ljs I'm not young, I'm middle-aged and have also done bunch of non-kernel things :-) 43 now and been in industry since 2003 starting from Symbian OS and doing even one full 3D engine and bunch of things. In 2010-11 I did for fun initial bits of WebGL for QtWebKit and then Research in Motion contacted me and wanted me to come to visit in Canada. But then Nokia clash happened and I ended up to Intel and have been working on kernel since (there I implemented TPM2 and SGX support and some other stuff). After Intel I went to a startup called Profian where I implemented SGX backend and some other bits for https://enarx.dev/.

I took the researcher job and rejected factors better paying industry job because my juices were gone after startup madness. Also there was chance to learn RISC-V (see e.g. https://www.sochub.fi/).

So somehow I've converged into the "hardware TEE jack-of-all-trades-but-master-of-none" type of person in Linux :-) Do not mind and I always find some new endeavors like connecting with ethereum foundation (they paid me a trip to Tallinn where I spent weekend and brainstormed ideas for better Linux support).

So yeah in my work life the only stable thing has been chaos and uncertainty, and I'm used to it, so I never really feel that much pressure or stress even if the platform is not that stable :-)

edit: s/ethernet/ethereum/ ;-)

@ljs agreed, this is true and more or less what i've been doing :-) i rejected industry job to be able to study new things like riscv-architecture. and also now i'm doing some collaboration with ethereum foundation as it seems interesting and fun (do not own any of that currency btw but tech is fun in general). so i'm not actually worried that this would not lead to something but still doing a bit of seek to see what there might be for me.

@ljs i'm in half-hobbyist mode. i'm working on riscv soc's and doing maintainer stuff on side but yeah getting full-time to kernel would be great :-)

@ljs Congratulations! still working on mine, some ideas are emerging but nothing locked in yet. My contract with the university ends in the end of September so there is luckily also some time to consider :-) Took a 1.5 years from the industry and now looking for coming back.

oct-git and its sibling project https://crates.io/crates/openpgp-card-ssh-agent are concrete options for OpenPGP card users to explore OpenPGP use without GnuPG, today.

In addition, the "Stateless OpenPGP" tool (https://crates.io/crates/rsop) also supports using OpenPGP card devices (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli/ for more).

Extremely incredibly annoying that google removed the cached page feature. Crazy decision. Sigh.

@orhun @ratatui_rs that said i've looking something like this to replace gui with tui so definitely going to try if it works for me :-) dd is great for scripts and build systems etc. headless stuff where you want long-term backwards compatibility and you don't anyway use it directly.

@orhun @ratatui_rs to be fair dd is a low-level plumbing tool and this is more like being sick for something like balenaEtcher... so i don't see this comparative angle but otherwise could be interesting to try out.

@ljs yeah, i kept messenger so can keep contacts but not sharing of content :-) And mostly because of relatives. I've bumped into similar situations where it is either Facebook or GTFO but I'm ready to confront those inconveniences.

TBH, I've just wanted to delete #Facebook account for a years already but my music projects have kept me there.

So now that I've outsourced maintaining them to my girlfriend it is finally time to do some layoffs to reduce the costs, i.e. costs of wasted time, so I layoff myself :-)

I've never had e.g. Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and I've deleted my LinkedIn some time ago not a big deal. I just wanted to make up a ridiculous excuse :-) That way people might at most think that I'm an idiot, which works for me.

One could claim that people should get salary for being in social media sites like #Facebook and #Instagram, and for any possible content, e.g. a cat video or random rant like this.

Right now the cash flows is for e.g. Facebook something like:

  1. Users produces raw content.
  2. Facebook processes data into assets with momentary value.
  3. Facebook trades with these assets in various profit generating ways.

User is a staff member in this scheme with total zero salary. And some say Amazon factory jobs are crap…

So how can this work as a business model? I have zero idea but neither current business model works for my benefit. It is a loosing game.
