In Linux kernel maintainer PGP guide I don’t understand the section “Back up your whole GnuPG directory”, and it is also asymmetric with the section discussing paperkey.

AFAIK, this should be sufficient:

gpg --output "priv_0.pgp" --armor --export-secret-key

I do 16 of these and then copy those to an USB stick (i.e. one for each hex digit).

Now that I understand how Ubuntu TPM2 boots looking into OpenSUSE systemd boot version:

- https://news.opensuse.org/2023/12/20/systemd-fde/
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drgo6pvn5hI

I'll check also Fedora albeit I'd guess it is like OpenSUSE (follow cross-distribution standard ways) and unlike Ubuntu (ignoring the common good).

When I backup #OpenPGP private master key to USB stick I tend to do priv_0.gpg, priv_1.gpg up to priv_f.gpg. They are identical but little bit of redundancy should bit more durability. I.e. hex amount of spare copies.

execmem patches v7 providing initial pieces of framework for allocating trampoline executable memory for tracing tools, and kprobes implementation for RISC-V: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20240326134616.7691-1-jarkko@kernel.org/T/#t

I've been pretty satisfied with #OpenSUSE since I started to use it somewhere in the latter part of last year :-) Some UI workflows are not as off-the-shelf polished as in #Ubuntu but payback comes from mostly relying in the common sense standard compliant solutions and not trying to hack features "not yet possible". And when comparing to other rolling release distributions I find it nice that you get the latest shit but mostly as binary packages so update times are always fast.

Six months before my contract at the university ends so better start looking for vacancy preferably a safe corporate job. Not too many requirements expect needs to support being a kernel maintainer...

Hmm.. With DIP switches set to “SDIO” mode, VisionFive2 SBC gives the most informative error message ever:

BOOT fail,Error is 0xffffffff

I’d guess the last value is -1 in 1’s complement format but other than that 🤷

I used #BuildRoot and visionfive2_defconfig. Not sure how feature complete so maybe I will try the official SDK for comparison.

Does anyone provide static and pre-compiled #busybox binaries for #riscv? For #x86 busybox.org provides this but other than that I have no idea.

I guess the software version of Moore's law is that software gets exponentially worse as hardware gets exponentially better. For instance, word processors do mostly the same tasks as in 1993 but do not run with 386 and 4 megabytes of RAM :-)

I love , although ideally we wouldn't be living in a world with such crappy companies in the position these are in the first place.

Not my expertise area at all but I was just thinking how would you measure relative round-trip time of syscalls on let's say between x86 and RISC-V. i.e. when you have your measurements how would you normalize the results for meaningful comparison.

After about two'ish years of use I've reached the point with #aerc #email client that I do not pro-actively hate it :-)

The withdrawal symptons of #mutt are over...

#Rust installation instructions go like:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

But what you actually want to do most of the time, is probably:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | bash -s -- --no-modify-path
