I like to work with my hands. That may mean hammering out solutions to complex problems in #Python or #Rust, building things in my shop, or spinning yarn to knit something warm. You’ll likely see some of all of that here. By day (and sometimes night) I keep >13k nodes and services alive in the Electric Vehicle sector.

Customers are asking us about the recent GRUB2 vulnerability so I wrote a quick post explaining how it works and why @purism hardware isn't affected. For even more details, check out Dan Goodin's excellent Ars Technica article I link in my post.

Perhaps on my upcoming flight back to The Netherlands I’ll have a chance to really outline the recent work I’ve done to extend a service portal’s RBAC to OpenSSH certificates that tighten down console access in thousands of embedded systems across my network.

“But safety is only one attraction of in-cabin monitoring. The systems also hold huge potential for harvesting the kind of behavioral data that Google, Facebook, and other surveillance capitalists have exploited to target ads and influence purchasing habits.”
Happy birthday to me, I pre-ordered the Librem 14 to serve as my next machine.
Finished my small workbench. No nails or screws, just joinery. Legs are glued into the feet, but the rest is just friction fit for now. It ain’t perfect but it’ll do. Learned a lot in the process too.
If the “solution” to the problem is to disable certificate validation, the problem is much deeper than your TLS failures.
At SEATAC waiting to return home. There’s an observable demographic trend for those either outright not wearing masks, or wearing them in such a way as to be exactly as useful as not wearing one at all.
Almost done. Chopping mortises in the Texas heat is not the greatest, but I will live.
Got outside and did some more work with my hands. It’s hotter than hell, and electing to work with hand tools only made it harder but more satisfying. I’ll finish this bench tomorrow most likely.
Got my SpinOlution Pollywog spinning wheel today and immediately got started with some merino top I got as a sample in a larger order. Spun a single and then plied it back on itself. Will ply the two spools of singles I did on my EEW Nano next.
Finished my first plied handspun yarn today. 90% of the singles were spun on my drop spindle, and the plying was done on me EEW Nano. A proper wheel is likely in my future.
@purism is there a rundown of the various boot options for Librem laptops? I’d like to preorder the newly announced Librem 14 (thanks in advance for the RJ45 jack), but the options are many and I’m not even sure which one I should select.

In honor of the @purism #Librem14 launch I wrote a personal post to share my perspective as someone who backed the original Librem 13 crowdfunding campaign and still use it daily: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-14-thoughts-from-a-librem-13-early-adopter/

The spindle filled up so I wound a cake and started back up. I’ll ply the two together when I’m done. Also made a second spindle for my fiancée
Got started on some new yarn from this roving made of huacaya alpaca and zwartble sheep wool.
