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?

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.

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.

What is this:

https://opensource.org/ai

"Open Source" is "Open Source AI"

OK, cool.

This must be then an AI:

```
int main(void) {}
```

For me this has an appearance of a scam, and it also reflects a recent outbursts such as e.g. this one from Microsoft:

https://www.techspot.com/news/103609-microsoft-ai-ceo-content-open-web-freeware-ai.html

Not pointing out to Microsoft here in particular. It was just so arrogant, obnoxious and ignorant take from Mustafa Suleyman that it carved to my brain forever.

IT giants have put way way way too huge stakes on top of the AI game board. There's also a strong motivation to compound "Open Source" and "AI" as interchangeable concepts to justify evil corporate tactics. Right from the get go OpenAI picked up a name, which misleads by implying "openness" (with no anchor to anything actually open).

Standards share no resemblance to this eye roll trick. I read them a lot as part of my work (the most recent was DWARF4 spec few weeks ago), and I know what a standard should look like, if anything.

This is not an opinion about AI way or another but I recognize a fake standard 100% when I see one, and this is as fake as it can ever get. It could be at worst interpreted as an attack against open source and free software governance, and the values that we believe in.

After four weeks doing Rust it became clear to me that LSP is quite useful sometimes, when you have to deal with a language that was not designed to be written by humans.

[That said: even less so by Copilot, Bob or Clippy]

;-)

I've managed mostly with vim and rusty-tags so far but to help with code exploration I installed vscodium. Seems to do the job since it has a vim emulation plugin and works together with rust-analyzer. And LSP does not work too well in terminal anyhow...

PS. This is the most useful documentation that I found on topic: https://bootlin.com/pub/conferences/2020/elce/opdenacker-using-vs-code-for-embedded-development/opdenacker-using-vs-code-for-embedded-development.pdf

I installed Asahi Linux to a 128 GB rootfs (out of 1 TB of internal storage). It is connected to a dock with an external 1 TB M.2 drive. Fedora sees this drive as /dev/sda.

Migrating the subvolume of /home was just a matter of creating a single all encompassing BTRFS partition to /dev/sda and then:

sudo btrfs device add /dev/sda1 /home -f
sudo btrfs device remove /dev/nvme0n1p6 /home -f

Now there is an airtight separation / and /home physically, and also they pool space only within their own cages.

Apple firmware supports only booting macOS from external storage, thus the rootfs must always reside in the internal storage, but I think this is already quite sustainable way to deal with it.

This bottleneck/policy can be mitigated but it does not pay the price. It can be overcome by installing macOS to an external storage and consuming internal storage in its full extent for Asahi Linux. Just mentioning this last for completeness ;-)

Encryption can/could be done by following https://davidalger.com/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-on-apple-silicon-with-luks-encryption/ with “a twist’ (since different partition/drive topology).

my friends have started to bully me as "jarkko.js" (those are my name letters). did not came to mind when picking username for my github account duh...

Since I guess Google knows Rust better than me I guess I'm doing the state of art with custom target JSON-files, i.e. deploying them to a random directory in the project directory :-)

I kind of hoped that there would be a place (let's say .cargo/targets or similar) under the project that gets automatically recognized by the tooling. Then you could just put that to rust-toolchain.xml like any other target.

Have not really checked this through but what is keeping v4l2loopback out of upstream?

It's useful for instance using a phone as a webcam during meetings, which actually quite useful (because e.g. iPhone actually has a quality camera).

That was a little scary. I asked ChatGPT, how would I best do X ? It responded, why don't you use thing Y that you have? I had told it in the past that I have thing Y, in a different chat session. That means we have arrived at the state where it's keeping track of what I said in the past.

Advice needed. what i say if i get a patch in the form "Dr. Firstname Lastname" in SOB?

I can say that it does trigger me a bit but I can deal with my personal issues ;-)
