If you're attending All Systems Go in Berlin, come see the talk by @cas and I today at 10:50am (local time) about #systemd-ifying #postmarketos 😁

I have done The Thing.

I have ported #systemd to #musl. Properly. Passing all tests, properly. Booting my 2012 Ivy Bridge in 3.2 seconds, properly.

I'm aware of how unpopular this will be in some circles. But change does not happen without competition, and musl environments deserve more than what they have right now. systemd isn't a panacea, it isn't even that great, but it's here, it solves real issues people have, and it's now an option. Not a requirement, but an option.

Very happy to share another collaboration with @codethink 🤝

A new way to develop on Linux

Continuing our collaboration with the GNOME Foundation, through the Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), we have been busy on multiple fronts since our last update.

^{www.codethink.co.uk}

Hey folks, we're going to be at @allsystemsgo in Berlin later this year. @cas and @craftyguy will be talking about how #postmarketOS has evolved over the last few years, our experiences with #systemd, and our plans for an #immutable postmarketOS that doesn't restrict user freedom.

If you're into low level Linux userspace and middleware definitely come along :D

this new #systemd feature is really cool
being able to *just* connect to a libvirt qemu vm is really nice, without having to think about network config

i just updated libvirt in nixpkgs to the latest version so it supports this :3

Interested in tooling for development and QA on immutable / image based Linux?

Towards a better way to hack and test your system components

Introduction Hey everyone, I recently joined Codethink and I am contributing to the improvements being made to GNOME OS, through the Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), to make it easier and more useful in day-to-day development and testing tasks, among othe…

Very happy and proud of this collaboration between @codethink @gnome and @sovtechfund

Our goal is to make GNOME OS a daily driver for QA and finalize the migration, but this work will be fundamental to the future of all secure image based / immutable Linux distributions.

GNOME OS + systemd-sysupdate

Did you know there’s a simple way to try the most cutting-edge GNOME software?

Excellent summary by Solar Designer on oss-security of what's happened in the last two weeks in response to the #xz #backdoor:

openwall.com/lists/oss-securit…

Noteworthy:
- #OpenSSH implemented systemd notification
- #systemd moves to dlopen(3) for some dependencies
- another detailed timeline at research.swtch.com/xz-timeline
- similar social engineering takeover attempts suspected in #OpenJS and #OpenSSF

It's big announcement day!

Adding systemd to postmarketOS

Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones

^postmarketOS

I just found out that in the past few months there has been work happening in @gnome to allow for encrypting user home directories using #systemd homed : thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2024/…

It appears as though this would put each home directory inside its own LUKS container that would be locked when the user logs out or the hardware suspends. This would be a major improvement to the security profile of #Linux on the desktop!

Currently, on most systems (including Linux) regular user data is only effectively protected by system encryption when the hardware is completely turned off, but not when it is suspended.
