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.

Done with my last week of work in NL. Next week I pack it all up and move back to Texas.

Pick a random consumer device lying around your house and imagine someone coming across it after 70 years of neglect. Part of the device no longer works. Would they be able to fix it? https://puri.sm/posts/beyond-right-to-repair/
And back in .nl
Getting close to boarding time for my flight back to .nl so I can pack up and move back to .us
If you were wondering how to get the Bluetooth to work on your Librem 14 it's pretty simple - just install the non-free firmware-atheros from Debian Bullseye. If you're not sure how to do that:

How do you fund free software sustainably? In this post I talk about some of the main approaches, the problems with some funding models, and specifically how (and why) Purism takes the approach we do. https://puri.sm/posts/how-purism-funds-free-software/
With Spaces in both Synapse and Element now, I've created one for my various #libre projects to hold rooms for support in each one.
https://ajmartinez.com/tech/posts/202141-001-spaces
To that end, I've also started posting in each of these rooms when I update my various projects and am likely to discontinue doing so here.

The root cause of this failwhale is truly impressive. I deal with a lot of surprises on a regular basis, but social security numbers in html attributes may take the cake since I’m going to go ahead and guess those are the plaintext sort keys in the backend.

Honeymoon complete. Back to NL now for a few more weeks before we move back home to TX.

Got hitched last Saturday at Traquair House, and have spent the last week traveling the beautiful Scottish countryside. Not mad about it at all.
I heard FB was down for a long time from friends on IRC and Matrix. Even my wife didn’t really notice because we were busy hiking around the Scottish highlands all day. Perhaps if the outage resulted in an increase in quality of life it’s wise to just stay off those platforms entirely…
Always perplexed by “director of security” folks who shoot off emails that this request was blocked by me personally for its dependencies on Open Source tooling, only to follow up with a list of Enterprise Solutions that are Open Source Inside through and through.
Done did the deed. The weather was typical Scottish fall weather though the rains cleared for a few minutes just in time. Had a lovely wedding with a few of my closest friends and family. Now for a honeymoon in the Highlands.
Off to Scotland to get hitched.
About six months ago I reserved a crate name for a job execution framework in Rust. Over the last three weeks I've managed to cut away a little time and actually get an initial release cut. There is undoubtedly work yet to be done, and there's plenty of room to grow but this project has given me a lot of opportunities to learn Rust even better.

I don't dispute that jails are hard to break into, but they are even harder to break out of. How many of us would choose to live in a prison in real life? Instead we make risk assessments that balance personal freedom and security, and the digital world should be no different.

The security industry has largely failed to build security measures without reducing a user's freedom more than attackers. It's not only harder to build security solutions that give users control, it reduces dependence on the vendor. This is why vendors just build jails.
