@ljs you got it, i did my fedora ark test (compile a random tip as distribution kernel) with a "random patch set".

@kernellogger OK so I also only now found: https://cki-project.gitlab.io/kernel-ark/

It was informative ;-) Now I know what ark is. So if you put your stuff that Git at some point (e.g. in Gitlab) I can look at secure boot at some point.

My take here is the ability to build distro kernel with secure boot and TPM2 encryption with the goal to get an environment with most popular security features enabled in order to see how they play together.

Normally I just run BuildRoot image in QEMU or similar but this would be a good test to do e.g. before each pull request to Linus (once or twice per release cycle).

Took few hours to realize today that ZSH figures out from EDITOR with '*vi*' that you "want" different keybindings. So I unset that.

If I did ssh or tmux, CTRL+R stopped working. Looking at bindkey output, it was different in a nested zsh (find this out while running zsh inside zsh).

I think I also had to delete a file called '.zcomdump' or something (don't what it is actually and to be totally honest) and I still don't get why it had "unsmarted" key bindings when there was just one instance of zsh.

How do you disable ZSH AI features?

#zsh #ai #shell

What is the difference between clevis and systemd-cryptenroll, and why do they both need to exist?

Example: https://fedoramagazine.org/automatically-decrypt-your-disk-using-tpm2/

Uses both. Why? Also: how does dracut interact with these shenanigans?

Checking if I could use Firefox given that there is no aarch64 version of Chrome (and still have just one browser).

First time ever I've seen WebMIDI work in Firefox (for uploading firmware with SYSEX). Has been literally a lock-in to Chrome for me.

@Aissen @fsfe Source code licenses are essentially legal documents. They enforce restrictions.

Stating support for "Open Source AI" does not enforce to do anything at all.

@kernellogger It started building but it needs tweaking to get packaging to sign binaries with my own MOK key, doesn't it? I.e. this would not pass secure boot?

@kernellogger I'll give this a try once the week starts.

I'm going to order this: https://www.ifixit.com/en-eu/products/iphone-se-2022-battery

In a repair shop it is 100% more expensive.

@troed So the way I think I'm still happier that Matrix is used rather than Slack or other proprietary service. So it is least worst option at least to IRC :-)

Also: having work a lot with cryptography (as an engineer not as mathematician) over the years, I'm sure the standard could be leveled up to provide sane way to exchange room keys.

@janantos I can show the first IRC server in the world :-) It's in the local museum: https://www.vapriikki.fi/en/

@fsfe OSI is an org where corps say what they want or makes sense for their benefit only, and it is represented as a some kind of one voice of the open source community. This is at least how this looks like. Total and complete loose of trust to this entity.

"AI = Open Source"

You can't make this shit up. It's the most insane argument I've heard for ages.

@janantos let's drop for a beer or something some day. I randomly visit there (no immediate plans ATM) :-) I'll ping when around! Not dependent on where my part gets printed :D Just came to mind.

@janantos Has been a while when I visited in a library :-) It's a good tip anyhow, I'll go check. Thanks!

@aks Not pointing out fingers here, and do not even try to change this madness but at least I have right to complain and whine ;-) Making sure that an open source project somehow linearizes its history of communication is an incredible asset and definitely worth of pursuing for. I would do my job factors worse if e.g. kernel ML archives and lore.kernel.org did not exist. At min once a week I'm looking for some old discussion or similar just to check up on things.

You don't have to do this or make effort on establishing such ecosystem, that is true, but I'd look it also as an competitive advantage to have a documented history of work done.

@aks The features you described are what I would consider harmful features [1]. In the past there was thing called a meaningful chat history, which could be interpreted and studied years and years after the discussion took place.

IRC is also the only protocol of which raw protocol dump is easily interpretable without help of a machine. XML/JSON protocol dump is waste or human interpreting it manually can be claimed to be a subject to brutal torture :-)

I'm not capable on understanding what is going on in a typical workplace chat overall even for the span of a single day because they are full of videos, code snippets and countless other distraction signals. By any practical means, they are usable only in that moment when the messages are being exchanged. It's literally like having a workplace discussion by using the walls of a public toilet as the main medium for discussion.

IRCv3 adds some of the modern ideas but not at the cost of retainable chat history.

[1] Thanks to Github who created this culture of bad quality. Steady stream of bad and worse chat services such as Slack, Discord and many others followed the lead.
