One thing that kinda pisses me off about @tails is that it's #PersistentStorage - which is just a fancy name for #LUKS encryption - is absurdly restrictive and the #setup doesn't even want to work.
Like yes there's a reason I'm booting the #ISO via #Ventoy [ https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html ] and yes I want to use the vacantly kept 8GiB at the end of the flashdrive to be useable as for persistent storage and no, I need that drive to be as is since it's a #multiboot drive designed to be easily updated.
I am wondering if moving to infosec.exchange may be called for.
I'm switching from a civil service #cybersecurity#policy position to an #ISO function implementing #NIS2 and related directives at a critical infrastructure company in a couple months. Got some new skills to learn, but would still get wound up about #Politics, #disability and #GLBT rights.
UPDATE – The International Standard Content Code (ISCC), a content-derived identifier for decentralised, digital content identification, is currently under development as ISO/DIS 24138, Draft International Standard: https://www.iso.org/standard/77899.html
Read our article here to find out what's #new and what users can expect. And: We are providing you with an #ISO image with Plasma 6 as a technical #preview.
Ok fedi, I am on the search for some kind of ISO auto downloader which just downloads the latest ISOs to / updates the already existing ones on my Ventoy Stick.
Any ideas?
Was going to download #OpenSuse#Aeon but they don't have a Torrent or magnet link option and the direct download is being ferried by garden gnomes who are manually printing out the packets and fighting their way across the lawn to bring me the #ISO. Not a good look for the OpenSuse project.
Tech tip: On Linux, you can easily get the current date in ISO 8601 format, suitable for plugging into, say, HTML metadata, or an Eleventy template, using the command line:
date -Is
That's a capital I (as in ISO) and a lower-case s (as in seconds).
What's better than a #desktop screenshot? A desktop snapshot!
I spent a couple of months creating a set of scripts to build a #bootable#ISO image out of my #gentoo install, with all the packages, patches and configurations it involves.
Doing this allows me to create an archive of not only what my desktop looks like, but what it feels like. #gnu#linux keeps changing, and with it, my setup. It's hard to bring back old configs.
There is an inconsistency on Turkish ISO layout between Windows and MAC, on Grave and NONUS_BACKSLASH keys. For QMK, I had to overwrite and flip them with existence checking of my MAC layer, where I flip GUI and ALT keys.
This both happens on QMK and @ZMK on multiple boards. On ZMK, closest thing I found to achieve this is conditional layers, where I re-define almost every key.
I hate this approach, but couldn't find a better way😔
Public Service Announcement: If you ever need to add a very obscure #language to a piece of software and you can't find an #ISO 639 code for it, remember that ISO 639-2 defines a special range for that.
All codes between "qaa" and "qtz" (inclusive) are free to be used for anything.
So just use one of those instead of hacking some ugly special case in your #software or adding some non-standard code.
