Re:AstraZeneca/EU contract on Saturday January 30, 2021 @06:44AM (#25968315)
> AstraZeneca is currently struggling to produce 2 million doses a week for the UK [0]. How does the EU expect to use UK production to shore up a shortfall of 49 million doses that they require in February/March?

open-source the vaccine, the recipes, processes, etc. everything needed so EU can look for a capable manufacturer on its own?

here's what I had to do on Arch to enable unlocking the root volume with TPM2: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/17741#issuecomment-7...

it'll need some work from the distros so the whole process is a bit more straightforward.

this is exactly the feature that's now possible with systemd too
fTPM on my Ryzen 3600 worked.
There's also this FPGA board and I think you can order it already: https://ulx3s.github.io/

The ULX3S FPGA board has the Lattice ECP5 FPGA, and an ESP32 that connects to wifi and can reprogram the FPGA.

Re:Make Android Self-Hosting on Sunday August 23, 2020 @12:21PM (#24252960)
that seems to me a simplifistic conclusion.

modern interfaces in windows 10 and macOS are quite inconsistent and not-beatiful compared to for ex. KDE which slowly evolves and polishes up. macOS on the other hand limits and removes features without becoming more consistent.

it is runtime config. these are defaults in case the distro doesn't change it, or the admin doesn't set it.
Re:Fakecracker: NetBSD as a Function Based MicroVM on Friday June 19, 2020 @05:50AM (#23572843)
Does NetBSD support initramfs (the name of the Linux feature)? That would avoid having to create a disk image by running a bare system from a ramfs/tmpfs.

I experimented with something like that with Linux and cloud-hypervisor (a firecracker fork): https://gist.github.com/gdamjan/1f260b58eb9fb1ba62d223495858...

any other providers supporting ARM64 VPSs?

why are we (as a civilization) even optimizing for this?

what is "pug"? (a link in the readme would be nice)

you run those on the host, not inside containers

> I wonder why she has no problem with phone companies letting people say illegal things on the phone line.

wait, are you claiming that phone companies are recording all your calls (and content you create) to make psychological profiles of people, and then sell access to those profiles to other companies? Have you ever got any news feed filled with ads based on what you talked over the phone?

yes, you can. the linker loader is the default executable for all ELF binaries

the author can license his own source code however he likes. only, when distributing the compiled binaries, you're required to provide the whole sources under libre (gpl compatible) terms.

that's not needed at all, unless you have legacy applications.

you can open a dri render device node, and use it directly

bless allows to specify the remote user in the certificate. you'll need to customize the certificate issuing program (a small python lambda program)

firewalld is just a management daemon with a dbus intrerface. nothing stops it from using iptables, nftables or bpfilter

Storing it, or passing it by the user can be suitable if the data is signed
That's good enough for U2F (the same chip is used in u2fzero). But not good enough for RSA.

I wonder if it can be made to work for attestation like TPM
