Reflecting the TPM2 related statements published by FSF, even this year (2025):

1. TPM is first and foremost a protocol for keystores and alike devices
2. If TPM did not exist, every vendor would have their own incompatible crypto co-processor and associated protocol to communicate with the device.

As of today, only Apple has their own proprietary and incompatible crypto co-processor, which manages similar tasks as TPM in that platform.

My usual style to refactor symbol names is somewhat ad-hoc but usually does the job:

$ BEFORE=VIDEO_LOOP_CTL_ADD
$ AFTER=VIDIOC_LOOP_ADD
$ git grep -l $BEFORE | \
xargs sed -i "s/$BEFORE/$AFTER/g"

I don’t have a script for this because writing down manually helps to keep mind focused.

#git

Temu's slogan is "shop like a billionaire" but I can't find "US president" for sale anywhere on their site.

Reviewed this morning the latest incarnation of Trenchboot from Ross Philipson (of Oracle). salute this work in the sense that D-RTM is a hardware feature with something like 20 years of age and no success realizing in the upstream. It's pretty nasty one to get right...

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko opposes Trump’s idea for a U.S. crypto reserve, stating it goes against decentralization by putting it in the hands of the government.

Lindberg ilmeisesti tosissaan ajattelee, että kaikki on USAn kanssa kunnossa, koska "asiaa ei ole otettu pöydälle Naton neuvostossa" ja "DCA-sopimus on nostanut puolustusyhteistyön sitovasti erilaiselle tasolle."

Näyttääkö siltä, että sopimuksilla ja neuvostoilla olisi Trumpille mitään merkitystä?

I might have put this before but it is always relaxing read: Commodore 64 catalog by Finnish Commodore importer PCI-Data from 1985. It has all the best products, including C64 Jump Suit:

Ive never had a sleeping rhythm: i just pass out and wake up randomly. Lately Ive found great help from Melatonin combined with audio book about geopolitics, history and similar ”in-depth” topic. It seems to really do the trick for me. Nice to have a rhythm

Hooray 7am gym. Best time for me to exercise. Have really put effort to get my nutcase sleeping rhythm in order so this is a huge achievement for me.

The slides are here:

In this one I am ramble over the past 14 years of systemd, and the next.

Enjoy!
