If you happen to be using Azure Active Directory Login for Linux in your Azure VMs, do not update the aadlogin package. It is broken for both Ubuntu and CentOS. The change to aad_certhandler in the latest version, released 2020-12-15, will break your AAD login. Rolling back to the previous version works for now.

@Gina hah just today I was looking at using one of my Beaglebone Blacks to play NES emulators. Gotta go way back to get to my childhood games! Hope you enjoy the playtime!

@garritfra what does line start as? Chars are also not always what you expect so iterating across them may explode if a line contains non-ascii characters. Since it appears you’re consuming parts of a String to get op and value perhaps it makes sense to use &str slices directly and make a String for each value from those?

Got most of the way through a migration from Fedora based TemplateVMs to Debian based ones. Having been at this whole Linux thing for quite a while it doesn’t really matter that much to me whether I’m using dpkg or rpm, but in general when the majority of machines I must manage for work are on a specific platform my personal use follows suit.

@Gina *clean slate to start... 😬

@Gina definitely one of the places the DisposableVM system in QubesOS comes in handy. Clean slate to state, dirty it up with gross plugins like this, do what needs doing, close the browser and poof bye bye tainted VM.

Still pretty crappy that it’s become so normal to require an insane level of access to one’s data and property for simple tasks.

@the_tower_power_ wow so federated

Today, the first production EV charger was provisioned into life using the security-focused service infrastructure I was originally brought to The Netherlands to design and implement. Now that this milestone has passed, I may have some time to finally do a write up of the process so perhaps others can reduce their IoT attack surface, and move devices into line with the principle of least privilege rather than the Everyone’s An Admin philosophy that seems to guide so many places.

@Gina I bought an ‘87 Camaro once. The engine seized while I was turning through an intersection. I built a new engine with an obscene amount of power. Then the ECM wiring harness shorted and started a fire. By far the worst purchase, but I did manage to strip it to the subframes and sell all of the parts for about $1500 more than I paid all in... at least there was a silver lining there.

@kyle that’d drive me bonkers!

Went to the thrift store for a TV stand. Returned with a TV stand, a vintage spinning wheel, and a vintage sewing machine. All for less than €60. Not mad about it at all.

@Gina does that make them brain sharknadoes in July during Shark Week???

Finished the fingerless mitts I started in... August? Been way too busy lately. Anyway, this is all handspun yarn. My friend did the white on the wheel I bought her, and I did the brown with a drop spindle I made out of wood from a big oak tree damaged in a hurricane years back.

@ju it was a 2m tree! It would have still hung out the back of my truck at home 😂

Still I’m sure a real Dutchie would have managed to carry the tree, a bag of firewood, and a case of Hertog Jan while actually cycling home with no hands.

My fiancée said we must have a tree. This was accomplished by tying one to my bicycle and walking it a few km home. Kinda made me miss my truck 😂

Back when I put #QubesOS on my desktop full time I apparently used my #Tails USB stick. Oops. I'll be fixing that today, and also thinking about how I change my device usage patterns for 2021 when my #Purism machines (Librem 14 and Librem 5) ship.
