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.

Update your Rust version if using crates that use std::net - which includes my own A Rust Site Engine.
Bumped dependencies on my various Rust crates today. Still need to automate that process! Perhaps next week.
Went sailing with a coworker today. Fun stuff!
Done upgraded PureBoot and my EC firmware on my Librem 14 today. Audio jack works for output now. Headset mic not detected still. Fn + any non F-key does nothing so the insert key isn’t possible.
I have decided when I return to the US I will immediately acquire an XSR900. It’s been too long with no motorcycle in my life.
@gina how do you say “I love your pants!” in Nederlands? Caty wishes to say this properly and my suggestion to just say it in English has been dismissed as stupid.
Do not want to jump the gun, but a few days with PureOS - and not having to install anything but syncthing from an external repository (staleness reasons) - has me pretty eager to get my Librem 5. For my general productivity needs it’s all there.

The move from Qubes OS over to Pure OS went pretty smoothly. Generally if one can be productive in Qubes OS it's pretty simple to handle a migration to just about anything else IME.
Detailed my process below, but so far so good.... and even my USB-C woes appear to be a non-issue.
No longer pondering. Did a full backup of QubesOS, and will selectively restore some new qubes over to my T460s. I’ve got a Tails stick made, and am installing PureOS on my Librem 14 right now.
Pondering moving my Librem 14 over to PureOS this weekend, and leaving my more esoteric use cases to the T460s on Qubes. I do make heavy use of DispVMs, but in a pinch I guess I could always use a container or if I wanted to Leave No Trace just reboot to a Tails stick.

Made it to 38. Is it time for a mid-life crisis, or can I just count the pandemic and move on?

I dislike when companies capitalize on incidents, so I usually publish my thoughts months later to avoid even the appearance. But folks asked us how @purism products fare against a Pegasus-like attack so I wrote about our overall spyware defense. https://puri.sm/posts/defending-against-spyware-like-pegasus/
Most interesting. As part of my periodic rotation of strong random passwords on my never-used-but-maintained-so-family-can-still-tag-me-in-things-only-they-care-about Facebook account, I noticed there's an option to Encrypt Notification Emails. I've enabled that, and assume that the tiny set of people I know who actually use PGP might be interested to know of this feature. All one of them follows me on here so, my duty is done!
Given that the network I am responsible for is chock full of Azure services, it looks like I will now find out if my brain has any space left for learning PowerShell and C#. My personal tools are quite probably always going to be Bash, Python, or Rust. Same for any work related to the embedded nodes connected to my network. For the cloud stuff the clear winner in exposed functionality is C#, so I guess I’m learning it get around the big gaps in Azure’s Python SDK.

It's strange that we are solving the problem that people use the same passwords everywhere, by replacing passwords with unrevokable biometrics, that *have* to be the same everywhere to work.

Biometrics aren't secrets. It seems like "a good quality infrared image of the target's face" is hard to get right now only because the tech isn't ubiquitous yet. Wait until every website the user logs into has a copy. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/07/hackers-got-past-windows-hello-by-tricking-a-webcam/
This was a good episode
