#86box 4.0 is out! https://86box.net/

pretty rare these days how #ckermit is laid out: https://github.com/KermitProject/ckermit. Just a #makefile and simple set of #c-files.

to all my 💯 #followers: thank you

Have had to use serial port a lot lately because working with #FPGA’s and the #lowRISC #ethernet driver is not that stable. #kermit is still the ultimate choice for this type of job IMHO :-)

Whereas in some other options you have surf through menus, this is all I need with kermit:

$ cat ~/.kermrc
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set speed 115200
set carrier-watch off
set flow-control none

How would you partition a pre-created image file (let's say with dd or qemu-img), partition it, and format each partition with the file system of your choice without having privileged access to the system (e.g. no access to the loopback device)?

The only robust option I'm aware of is to create a #QEMU VM just for partitioning and formatting another image (i.e. it runs a script and shuts down immediately after that).

PS. In this scenario, a container, given more infrastructure required, would actually be worse and more heavy-weight option than a VM.

#partitioning

Wondering if there would be a way to sort #ecryptfs and #ssh conflict with a PAM module for #OpenSSH that would sort of “plug out” the #authentication part. AFAIK this problem comes from “non-standard” authentication path of OpenSSH: it ignores PAM and does its own thing.

Each build seems to get a new #BTRFS subvolume at /var/lib/docker/btrfs/subvolumes. This will overtime exhaust the whole root file system. In order to disable this behavior, create /etc/docker/daemon.json with the contents:

{
    "storage-driver": "overlay2"
}

I did not know this and neither could login to my system through GDM nor console. Luckily SSH login worked and I could delete all over 800 GB of subvolumes.

IMHO, objectively the default settings in #Docker are the worst ever.

I thought that OK now Chris Roberts' #game finally came out. Then I recalled that it was "Star Citizen", not Starfield :-) Looks like a game that is worth trying 2-3 years from now after a DLC or few and tons of bug fixes.

Preparing #guitar #sampling setup with SM-57 front of the cabin. I.e. not the cheapest setup with guitar going directly to sound card and immediate plugin chain :-)

#audio #musicproduction #hobby

alias system=systemctl
alias journal=journalctl

… really makes the world so much more convenient. ctl has no legit reason to exist in this world :-)

Something I always tend to forget with a new #Debian #installation: sudo apt-get install iwlwifi

i realized that i have a home page: https://jjs.kapsi.fi/. Had forgotten this but it looks still up to date :-) my web skills are not advanced enough to put the "music" playing background and looping so that could be a level up.

Social media platforms at the moment where I have an account:

1. Mastodon
2. Facebook
3. SoundCloud
4. LKML ;-)

Over the summer I've just made analysis does a platform provide measurable benefit for my life. This caused me to scrape away LinkedIn and Twitter for instance. I can literally feel how much more peaceful I am and a lot of anxiety has gone. Social media is IMHO a digital narcotic.

IMHO, both #AMD #SEV #SNP and #Intel #TDX are quite questionable technologies given the narrow span of user base limited only selected large companies. Very few maintainers can test any of the patches.

We should demand providing affordable #hardware for these technologies like NUC7 in the past for #SGX. IMHO, a technology should not land to the kernel in most cases, unless a college student can afford to buy at least some hardware for testing the tech in question.

I'm wondering why there is so little fuzz about this considering how much FUD was spread all over the community about #TPM's in the past.

What confidential computing would desperately need is new versions of Intel NUC (or is it now Asus NUC) and new UDOO BOLT for testing SEV-SNP.. Otherwise innovation will not exist.

#unpopular #opinion

I’ve ranted lately a lot at #LKML about how #kernel #Bugzilla’s role in the #development #process should be defined better in the #documentation. #linux

I wonder what is the best practice to remove #passphrase from #OpenPGP subkey. I’m using #gnupg2. I’ve spend hours on this and still not able to do it :-(

I.e. I have this:

$ gpg -K
/home/jarkko/.gnupg/pubring.kbx

And I want to remove passphrase from #ed25519 #authentication #key.
