Buidl Crypto just published an long-form interview with me where I touch on just about every aspect of @purism. It's a great conversation, check it out here: open.spotify.com/episode/290Ap

@rbrown yeah, and given that I’ve got PureBoot and my Librem Key there’s still a fair deal of security to be had. My private keys are on hardware anyway.

Started the Rust Embedded Discovery book today. After making an issue regarding the dependency instructions for Fedora (which was rapidly addressed), I made it through the first steps. Looking forward to learning more.

@piggo one of the projects I’ve not actually released any useful code for yet is for a job executor, and pipelines are one of the use cases I have in mind. The process of bumping deps is pretty simple, and it’s incredibly frustrating when projects that might be useful are stale for no real reason. My crates are all tools I’ve written to satisfy my own use cases, and learn the language more, so I’m probably the only user. Still not a reason to let my work lag behind.

Bumped dependencies for two of my crates today. Should automate that process.

1m34s from my projects qube for a release build of ARSE 0.11.0. Pretty impressed by how close the VM performance is to the live distro performance.

The Librem 14 running Pure OS Byzantium off a USB stick did a normal release build of ARSE 0.11.0 in 1m30s. I need to build it in Qubes OS again and make note of the time for a better comparison because I did add two new dependencies between 0.9.0 and 0.11.0.

Lots to like about this machine.

@rbrown @kyle audio jack still did nothing in Pure OS but I went an hour or so without my USB-C Hub shutting off randomly. That might be a record, or a coincidence, so I’ll try to just use it for a day running Pure OS off a USB stick. One benefit to having a whole lotta RAM!

v0.11.0 of A Rust Site Engine is out, and completes my 1.0 feature roadmap items. I've not rev'd to 1.0 as there is some refactoring to be done, and I would like to get that done between now and the time I actually release 1.0.

Earlier this week my significant other, for whom ARSE was created, made her own post without any assistance from me. Now, with 0.11, interested parties can hit also consume content by RSS.

@kyle back in my racing days I used to listen to When The Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin during every run, so when it comes on now I’m still inclined to want to nail every apex. Not even an up tempo song, but it always helped me remember slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

One more thing I've meant to give a go on my @purism Librem 14 for a while was just doing straight DP over USB-C. I've had a cable for this for a long time from when my NUC was in my office. Anyway, it works fine. Of course having left my regular charger across an ocean this means I can only do this when running on battery since I must charge over USB-C for the time being, but I'm glad it works without issue.

@dredmorbius @kyle probably for the best given the OpenPOWER of such large flames

@kyle when I compiled Buildroot in my projects qube (assigned all 12 threads) it was loud enough I could tell the job was done from another room, but that’ll happen when the whole thing is pegged for 72m!

@kyle yeah, a bit strange indeed. Not sure how much it matters this red hot second. Of course, I could back my stuff up and load clean again to see if that makes a difference. I’ve got plenty of machines available now!

@kyle interesting. It is there, it doesn’t auto load for me and modprobing it makes it show up as in your notes but no dice on showing any more objects in the sys paths. Maybe my EC is older itself?

@kyle what kernel are you on in dom0 - dkms complained about 5.4.125-1.fc25.qubes.x86_64. Looks like if I boot one of the older kernels it may work though.

For any other Librem 14 users running Qubes, I was able to install the librem-ec-acpi-dkms package in Qubes dom0, which lets you have more control over the embedded controller including setting charge thresholds. I documented my steps here: source.puri.sm/-/snippets/1170
