I'm going to this year's LPC and Open Source Summit Europe 🥳. I will organize sessions on two days after the conference program to exchange PGP fingerprints for keysigning to improve the kernel's web-of-trust (but of course everyone is welcome). For details see my announcement on LKML . Note the registration deadline …
I have a SHT3x humidity and temperature sensor connected to the i2c bus of my Turris Omnia that runs OpenWrt . To make it produce nice graphs shown in the webif I installed the packages collectd-mod-sensors , luci-app-statistics and kmod-hwmon-sht3x . To make the sht3x driver bind to the device I added echo …
The Linux kernel's development process makes use of PGP. The most relevant part here is that subsystem maintainers are supposed to use signed tags in their pull requests to Linus Torvalds. As the concept of keyservers is considered broken , Konstantin Ryabitsev maintains a collection of relevant keys in a git …
I'm going to FOSDEM'24 . Assuming to meet Debian and Kernel folks there, this should be a good opportunity to do PGP keysigning. If you also go there and you're interested in keysigning: Send me your key via email to fosdem24-keysigning@kleine-koenig.org. I'll collect the keys, create a paper list …
I recently bought a Hue Bridge to experiment a bit with Zigbee and 802.15.4. Following two posts for the hardware version 2.0 and some comments about the differences to version 2.1 I was able to get shell access on my 2.1 hardware. As there is …
After installing Debian on Turris Omnia there are a few more steps needed to make use of the network switch. The Armada 385 CPU provides three network interfaces. Two are connected to the switch (but only one of them is used to "talk" to the switch), and one is routed …
I am lucky and get both IPv4 (without CGNAT) and IPv6 from my provider. Recently after upgrading my desk router (that is an Netgear WNDR3800 that serves the network on my desk) from OpenWRT to latest LEDE I looked into what can be improved in the IPv6 setup for both …
Recently I got "my" Turris Omnia and it didn't take long to replace the original firmware with Debian. If you want to reproduce, here is what you have to do: Open the case of the Turris Omnia, connect the hacker pack (or an RS232-to-TTL adapter) to access the U-Boot prompt …
After finally being able to fix Debian bug #794266 I want to thank those who made this possible: Some time ago my colleague Bjørn offered an Arietta G25 to me. After Jochen, another colleague, helped me to solder pin headers on it, this machine served as host computer for my …
On Thursday the lawsuit about GPL compliance of VMware's ESXi products starts. I support Christoph's position and share his view that VMware's product is in conflict with the GPL. Read more on the software freedom conservancy's FAQ about the case . I keep my fingers crossed!
Let's encrypt entered public beta and there is a Debian package in experimental for their client available. After some reading and testing I came up with the following commandline to give me what I want: letsencrypt -- manual -- config - dir $ HOME / letsencrypt / etc \ -- work - dir $ HOME / letsencrypt / var -- logs - dir $ HOME …
My Squeezebox Radio does its duty most of the time. Unfortunately it depends on a single central service run by Logitech. Well, from time to time this service doesn't work which makes me wish for an alternative firmware that doesn't depend on such a service. Moreover it doesn't feel too …
The Netgear ReadyNAS 104 comes shipped with U-Boot. To access its "shell" remove the small quadratic sticker at the backside to reveal the UART pins (3V3, pinout available at Arnaud's NAS page [1]) and connect a matching adapter. Also connect a network cable to the lower jack. Then on a …
