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.

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...

Zip disks, anyone else remember these existed? Anyone?

Would you trust an $8.99 7-port USB hub ? Asking for a fiend…

I think I have teased this already, so here it is:
Proudly presenting “ligra”, an open source projector/projection (LiGra – Light Graffiti) platform, allowing you to broadcast your messages, your logos, your artwork, whatever you need others to hear, to whoever sees it! :3

With ligra I wanted to explore image-projection and especially projections on the cheap, so I went to my local flea market and built a platform around old camera lenses. You can find two of them in the wild at #GPN22

A nice evening of trying to get the best out of our SEM!

I hope this toot finds you well

Should I install this software?

A gentleman named Paul Khoury approached me about getting a retro computer he'd acquired up and running. The computer is a Sun SPARCstation UPN (1997), a prototype for a super small desktop computer that preceded the Mac mini by about 6-7 years. Only about 20 were ever made. I was the designer on the project and had poured my soul into it, so I was proud to help him get it running. I dug out the schematics from storage and gave any advice I could remember and he got it powered on in a few days.

Very excited to have a paper published in DUBUS. I’ve been reading this journal for about a decade and never imagined when I started that I’d be published there. The journal is also translated into German (or English) by the editors, as it’s a dual language publication.

1️⃣5️⃣ Here's the 15th installment of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v256 release of systemd.

systemd integrates with many components of the OS. Due to this it links against various external libraries. Generic distributions – which typically enable all features a package provides – usually have to deal with relatively large dependency trees in cases like this.

It feels like cheating to use these pre-cut wire links for soldering (vs. push-in breadboard), but I’m over making these by hand. #amateurradio #hamradio #electronics
