I've been using web-based email so much that I almost forgot how FAST a terminal client is, even Alpine, even over multiple SSH hops.

the debugging manifesto poster I've been talking about is finally available for sale! You can get it here for $20 US + shipping: https://store.wizardzines.com/products/poster-debugging-manifesto

it was redesigned and riso printed by Inner Loop Press and I'm SO delighted with how it turned out (https://www.innerloop.press/)

@olivvybee and the next available appointment for a DHCP lease is scheduled for November 2027?

TIL: Vimeo still exists.

@mos_8502 I wonder if George Lucas is on the spectrum.

Just published the #ASG2024 schedule! Lots of good stuff, and at least one terrible talk that nobody should attend.

Early bird tickets are also still available - but not for long - go grab them while they last!

@robpike "one out of 3 ain't bad"

@robpike definitely not missing my SCSI DAT backup that cost a fortune and never worked properly on Linux in 1995.

It's been a while since the last one, but here is the fourth #Landlock newsletter: https://lore.kernel.org/landlock/20240716.yui4Iezai8ae@digikod.net/
Moar sandboxing! 🥳

Another relatively small update, but here are the LSM, SELinux, and audit* highlights from the Linux v6.11 merge window.

There are three hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and getting your video game character onto a ladder.

@gigabecquerel this is giving me anxiety

@ftg these are incredibly useful for all kinds of basic testing, and yep, that is the right coax to use, and yep, I forget what it's called too

Of course, everyone's favourite tool to build secure Linux images with dm-verity, TPM, SecureBoot is mkosi by @daandemeyer and others. It now is learning a new trick: support for AzureLinux (ex CBL Mariner) – in addition to the other 12 supported distributions.

And that's really great, because this means I can finally quickly test the stuff I am working on within the systemd project on my own company's Linux distribution, the same way I test other distributions.

Yay!

Imagine being a billionaire and not living in a house like this.

Narrator: you cannot trust an $8.99 7-port USB hub.

@g4dbn @M0YNG something that surprised me is people running FT8 at 700W on HF. Weak signal HF to me was always 5-10W.

Really “enjoyed” hand soldering this VSSOP device with 0.5mm pitch. Time to get a hot plate reflow setup.

Pioneering computer scientist, electrical engineer, and transgender activist Lynn Ann Conway has died at the age of 86. Every modern silicon chip incorporates her ideas, and her courage was an inspiration to many. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway Long may she run...
