I've just released mount-insight v0.1 https://gitlab.com/zygoon/mount-insight/-/releases/v0.1

Here's an excerpt from the release notes:

This is the initial release of mount-insight, a tool created to explore and display the data provided by the statmount system call.
Some features are only going to work once Linux 6.15 is released. The code needs to see matching, up-to-date headers for userspace Linux APIs as well.

Oh yeah, I already mentioned this a while ago but I also added support for pidfds in Linux coredumps.

/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been extended so userspace can instruct the kernel to install a pidfd for the
crashing process into the usermode helper process, e.g., systemd-coredump.

I released a new version of the crate: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/rust-landlock/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v042 
We can now easily restrict signal sending and connections to abstract UNIX sockets for programs. The documentation and tests have also been improved. Last but not least, a few new features will be useful for the upcoming Landlock configuration format.

Ok, I'm close to giving up on running my own mail server. Spammers are winning the arms race vs. small mail servers.

What commercial services are folk using for personal mail domains?

The results are in, with 18 votes. I kind of like bsky but not seeing a critical mass of people in my areas of interest.

If you answered other, please feel free to explain.

In honor of this landslide vote, here's a photo of my latest tinkering: making pipecap filters for an 11 GHz RF multiplier (using the W1GHZ board & design). I'll use brass M3 tuning screws once some arrive from McMaster-Carr, although I'd be interested to see if they are very different to stainless steel. And yes, I had to order them online after not finding any metric brass fasteners locally. Why not use SAE screws? Standard metric screws have much higher TPI, even more than fine-thread SAE. This will provide better mechanical stability & finer tuning, but then again, I'm not building a spaceship here, so 🤷

Weekend tinkering: finally made enough room for a microscope on my bench and looked at small things. The chip of interest is 0.7mm wide: a ~60 GHz amplifier.
