@sandzwerg @Gina I’ll drink to that, and I’ve stood guard over literal burn pits that were less awful than crypto.

@Gina pretty good day. Was in Amsterdam briefly, and then Den Haag. New suit who dis

@gina we went to the other side of NL today and found hills! Amazing.

@Gina weeeee

Because why not write more about Tails and USB HSMs...

If you want to use something like a Nitrokey HSM2 for other crypto needs using pkcs11 just install opensc and you're off to the races.

Have a Librem Key you want to use in Tails? Read on: https://ajmartinez.com/tech/posts/202135-001-librem-key

@Gina we leave in late November you can join us in the land of guns, rattlesnakes, rampant COVID, and broken healthcare!

But the tacos are amazing.

@kyle that’s awesome man. Old machines are often this way. Shake out accumulation of gunk. Lube. Run it another century.

Another weekend another quick FOSS project to share with whoever might find it useful: CrossBuild is a thing that exists now for providing a container with cross compilation toolchains for ARMv7 and i686. Anyone wishing to add more can surely use a multi-stage Dockerfile to extend what I've already done.

PSA for my fellow NOC managers out there in Azure land. Rotate them keys. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks to the Rust Embedded team's `cross` containers being ancient, and all attempts at updating them appearing to be rejected, I've made my own that appear to work just fine for my needs. Less than 40 lines of notes to get it done. Will share later, it's time for this week to be OVER.

Workaround for a little bit of annoyance between competing daemons snagging my Librem Key:

@rbrown no worries and good luck!

@rbrown join works fine for me with the HDMI port. Insert key too, though I tend to use it with a mechanical keyboard and not the awful onboard one. ctrl-shift-v pastes in the terminal, and other keys paste in Emacs, so I don't miss shift-insert much but that was why I wanted to fix it in the EC. Matt already did it though, so I just went after the numpad next just because it bothered me that I couldn't use it even if I wanted to.
