To be specific, LUKS supports up to 8 slots. Slots can be used by different decryption mechanisms such as passwords (either typed in, or read from a keyfile), or something like clevis+tang to decrypt the disk on the correct network. Each of

Yeah it appears my Diablo 2 has been pulled from my Blizzard account when the D2 Remastered was launched, at least I can't find it anymore. And now I either have to dig up the CD and key and hope those still work or pay $60 or somethin

I've been similar discussions with our security guy and a few of our build infrastructure guy, and yeah. I think the pattern to consider is: (i) Yes, this would improve our deployment speed/upgrade speed/security posture, pos

We had a few pretty cool courses in university touching this thing. It depends a bit on the work you want to do, but: - Pick a language that's simple enough. A subset of ML would be good, but if you want to complete it, I'd recomm

Functionality for older windows games is a little bit more absurd. I have a few games I kinda gave up on because they stopped working on windows 10, until I chucked them into proton or wine and suddenly those games were working. That was a

One example for using algorithmic over true randomness comes up in games. For example, if the entire map generation is driven by a single RNG instance with a user-chosen (or, initially chosen off of true randomness), players can share seeds

My documentation skills have improved when I started to be critical about "obvious", or "trivial". And now I routinely end up writing "obviously", stop, and end up with 3 pages of clarification.

This is one of the jenga towers that seem to hold up most reliably for me as well. (i) Use python installed via the package manager. (ii) If python is updated, wipe all venvs, because there can be strange interactions between venvs and the

Dude, you are dragging up bad thoughts of how finicky it can be to get ansible to work consistently across a number of systems. This is where I kinda regret switching from and miss chef. Pick up an RPM/APT package from vendor, shove it

Well, yes. Hate me, but slowing down changes and only applying changes very deliberately makes a system more stable. The idea of continuous deployments in order to reduce the size of changes, in order to reduce the risk of changes is good.

I'm using gtimelog for this. Similarly, I don't need a minute-precise account of my time, but it helps to get a rough overview where my time is going - system maintenance, incidents, project work, organization - or what time certa

Shouldn't you rather deny all, and carefully carve out paths you need to allow?

Funny. This is happening at work. Like, technically, we're just sysadmins with a lot of systems and different services running on those. Kinda boring, just like a crud service. But if you squint a bit, we're seeing ideas of formal

This is actually a really interesting post to me. I'm currently working at the opposite of a startup with a shoestring budget. We're a medium-sized company with 100 - 150 techies in there. As a unique problem, we're dealing w

As scary as it can be, but yes. It's similar to strategy games at a point - sometimes it's better to let the enemy push you around for a bit as long as nothing important is damaged. I don't really care if I have to scale up t

I recently setup something simple, but I've been falling in love with it - `goto`. Not as in the funny programming thing, with the even funnier `comefrom` variant in intercal, but as a simple shell script. My issue is that at work, I t

That's good to hear. So I'll just have to spend an hour or so tomorrow night ensuring our private pull-through registry is used on everything prod and the biggest explosion is averted. Images built by the company land in internal

Heh. "But shouldn't an enterprise have all of these things figured out and mirrored and also pay money to Docker Inc"? Should? Certainly. But guess what kind of emergencies it takes to get these things finally prioritized and

Sorry to butt heads there, but what ORM does automatically handle schema changes? I have so many teams with highly abstracted ORMs telling me that no-downtime schema changes are impossible, no matter how trivial the changes are, or would be

The thing is, that's working like partially taking antibiotics. In B2B, you often end up with a customer on an old, customized system making 10% of your revenue. Dropping that often isn't an option.

Yeah this isn't even subtle. They aren't even hiding the pointlessness of the free to play coin grind by limiting it to 300 coins per day. And I'm somewhat sure there is more math in there that a limited time offer for X days
