I use an RSS feed for news, and I’m sure I’m not the only one here on the Fediverse who appreciates the convenience it offers, because it helps me stay informed in a way that suits my preferences.

How do you keep up with the important topics that matter to you?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

• RSS feed

My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

Hello!
Who knows how do I pin a package to a specific version in #archlinux? Something like apt's package pinning in Debian.

Why? I don't want to update my kernel to newest versions where the team just silently removed more than 10 Russian developers from maintainers list. This is not fair and I will stay on honest versions with honest maintainers list.

That moment when you're trying to update a nice little package for your distribution of choice only to find out that they have vendored all their dependencies (🧐 ) and also install them all on the (already used) system wide locations (😳 😳 😳 ) i.e. xz, zlib etc. ...

TPM2-measured boot with bus protection is pretty nice actually for Linux installations where secure boot is not enabled, like the default Arch Linux installation for instance.

For the sake of "defence in depth", I'd enable both if it is out-of-the-box feature but would not probably bother with secure boot if it requires extra work.

So, the takeaway from this is that it would make a lot of sense to make measured boot happen in arch-install installation as opt-in feature. No Microsoft key required.

Still so far the most informative overview for the shenanigans is microos.opensuse.org/blog/2023… but I'd also look for more recent references.

Policy hash calculation per kernel package update for LUKS2 is what needs to happen over time whenever a new kernel package is installed with hooks/scripts.

So the thing that was hyped to DRM the world into a locked down hellhole rendered out the Microsoft key hard binding instead 🤷

The #ArchLinux ports #RFC is accepted and ready to be merged and published: gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux…

Although it was a long journey, I'm happy it is now ratified.
Thanks to everyone who spent time writing and reviewing it and provided valuable feedback!

There is still a lot of work ahead adapting and improving our tooling and I hope many will join in this effort.

Here is to #ArchLinux on many more architectures in the future 🥂

(meanwhile I have three more RFCs in the pipeline 😅)
