Sounds better than the other boards, they could have written this stuff as selling point.

Who cares just about plain HW specs? Nowadays I also expect the info on whether it supports UEFI booting, whether the firmware gets updates (and if fwupd or not), and if mainline Linux can boot and from what version. Too often these product

Missing: When using "set -o pipefail" you should also catch any non-zero return codes that you want to accept, e.g., "{ grep -o pattern file || true ; } | sed pattern" to let the command continue (if desired) to execute

Actually a nice idea to make lecturers collaborate and share more: Maybe it would help if the website could be used by university courses, e.g., by allowing to overlay custom course infos or modify sections.

It doesn't mention unsafe in the README but the website says: The first versions of our tools are under development, and target a small but interesting fragment of Rust without unsafe features; in the future, we plan to extend our

I can really recommend weasyprint for (markdown→)html→pdf generation: https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint Things like columns, footers/headers, hyphenation are all easily done with modern CSS.

With (al)pine in contrast to mutt you at least have filtering rules to move a mail to a folder. I hope that this would be added to meli, too - that's the last thing I would consider missing when reading the docs on the website: https:

I'm excited about the UDP support and official support for virtual network interfaces as known from VPNs. The library usage of the new Rust implementation is also great for integration and spinning off Onion Services for your servers o

Many Android phones are also open like this as shown by pmOS: someone somewhere has to work on mainline Linux support and normally mainline doesn't really work and there are still some downstream patches left, meaning you can't ru

In general it's not a good idea to forward the keyring just for the purpose of jumping to a next machine. If the first machine is compromised someone may get access to your private key. For mere jumping, you should use "ssh -J jum

I think the proposal process works very well to modernize the distro and drive forward the improvements of the default installation, while in Debian the teams seem to do their own thing and innovation is very slow and even controversial (e.

ZPAQ is the name of the tool but ZPAQ is also the name of the container format that gets used. ZPAQ embeds the decompression algorithm in the archive. One could store zstd-compressed blocks in ZPAQ archives as soon as a zpaql decompressor e

For a polished GNOME experience I recommend Fedora (once you know how to install the missing media codecs). Even Firefox there runs natively under Wayland and you also benefit from the latest advancements such as the Thunderbolt or performa

With garm ( https://github.com/cloudbase/garm ) you can spawn ephemeral runner VMs, be it as Azure/GCE ARM instances or as lxc VMs (or lxc containers).

Thanks, yes, makes sense to look at the GCE announcement instead of the GKE announcement for this info.

They could have named Ampere and give credit to them, I think it's common in cloud instance offerings to have AMD or Intel also being named as underlying physical CPUs, even with the generation.

It's quite light on details: What properties does the (virtualized) ARM CPU that one gets have? Can it do KVM itself (meaning the underlying real CPU has support for nested KVM)? Can it do ARMv8.3 pointer authentication?

Yes, automation with IPMI can be done (for a particular hardware due to quirks), and I recommend doing it (and I have done it) with a separate DHCP environment for the BMC NICs to be at least agnostic about the OS NIC's network environ

What is missing is a middle ground: an improvement over the IPMI broken-state-of-things that is aimed for automated deployments, without demanding a certain network environment for PXE booting and configuration of IP addresses for managemen

Some aspects of git submodules are bad, especially for beginners. When I used them the first time had the strange experience that checking out or pulling left the submodule out of sync and I had to go to the directory and check out the righ

Can't agree more! For 2FA there are much better options, like TOTPs which are more secure against phishing and account takeover (because they don't allow outside parties to trigger a verification request on your device). Let'

It really looks promising with a fanless design, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and both large fast storage and RAM. No idea if or how well it runs Linux, though.

For good processing of the output it makes sense to add a flag like "--json", otherwise people have to come up with their own parsing that makes assumptions of the output and breaks as soon as the output is changed slightly, e.g.,
