Emmanuel Kasper: Adding a private / custom Certificate Authority to the firefox trust store

26.března
Today at $WORK I needed to add the private company Certificate Authority (CA) to Firefox, and I found the steps were unnecessarily complex. Time to blog about that, and I also made a Debian wiki article of that post, so that future generations can update the information, when Firefox 742 is released on Debian 17. The cacert certificate authority is not included in Debian and Firefox, and is thus a good example of adding a private CA. Note that this does not mean I specifically endorse that CA. …

Jonathan Dowland: a bug a day

25.března
I recently became a maintainer of/committer to IkiWiki , the software that powers my site. I also took over maintenance of the Debian package. Last week I cut a new upstream point release, 3.20200202.4 , and a corresponding Debian package upload, consisting only of a handful of low-hanging-fruit patches from other people, largely to exercise both processes. I've been discussing IkiWiki's maintenance situation with some other users for a couple of years now. I've also weighed up the pros and con…

Valhalla's Things: Piecepack and postcard boxes

25.března
Posted on March 25, 2024 Tags: madeof:bits , craft:cartonnage This article has been originally posted on November 4, 2023, and has been updated (at the bottom) since. Thanks to All Saints’ Day, I’ve just had a 5 days weekend. One of those days I woke up and decided I absolutely needed a cartonnage box for the cardboard and linocut piecepack I’ve been working on for quite some time. I started draw…

Marco d'Itri: CISPE's call for new regulations on VMware

24.března
A few days ago CISPE , a trade association of European cloud providers, published a press release complaining about the new VMware licensing scheme and asking for regulators and legislators to intervene . But VMware does not have a monopoly on virtualization software: I think that asking regulators to interfere is unnecessary and unwise, unless, of course, they wish to question the entire foundat…

Jacob Adams: Regular Reboots

24.března
Uptime is often considered a measure of system reliability, an indication that the running software is stable and can be counted on. However, this hides the insidious build-up of state throughout the system as it runs, the slow drift from the expected to the strange. As Nolan Lawson highlights in an excellent post entitled Programmers are bad at managing state , state is the most challenging part…

Niels Thykier: debputy v0.1.21

24.března
Earlier today, I have just released debputy version 0.1.21 to Debian unstable. In the blog post, I will highlight some of the new features. Package boilerplate reduction with automatic relationship substvar Last month, I started a discussion on rethinking how we do relationship substvars such as the ${misc:Depends} . These generally ends up being boilerplate runes in the form of Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} where you as the packager has to remember exactly which runes apply to yo…

Dirk Eddelbuettel: littler 0.3.20 on CRAN: Moar Features!

24.března
The twentyfirst release of littler as a CRAN package landed on CRAN just now, following in the now eighteen year history (!!) as a package started by Jeff in 2006, and joined by me a few weeks later. littler is the first command-line interface for R as it predates Rscript . It allows for piping as well for shebang scripting via #! , uses command-line arguments more consistently and still starts f…

Kentaro Hayashi: How about allocating more buildd resource for armel and armhf?

23.března
This article is cross-posting from grow-your-ideas. This is just an idea. salsa.debian.org The problem According to Developer Machines [1], current buildd machines are like this: armel: 4 buildd (4 for arm64/armhf/armel) armhf: 7 buildd (4 for arm64/armhf/armel and 3 for armhf only) [1] https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi In contrast to other buildd architectures, these instances are quite a few a…

Valhalla's Things: Forgotten Yeast Bread - Sourdough Edition

23.března
Posted on March 23, 2024 Tags: madeof:atoms , craft:cooking , craft:baking , craft:bread Yesterday I had planned a pan sbagliato for today, but I also had quite a bit of sourdough to deal with, so instead of mixing a bit of of dry yeast at 18:00 and mixing it with some additional flour and water at 21:00, at around maybe 20:00 I substituted: 100 g firm sourdough; 33 g flour; 66 g water. Then I briefly woke up in the middle of the night and poured the dough on the tray at that time instead of ha…

Erich Schubert: Do not get Amazon Kids+ or a Fire HD Kids

23.března
The Amazon Kids “parental controls” are extremely insufficient , and I strongly advise against getting any of the Amazon Kids series. The initial permise (and some older reviews) look okay: you can set some time limits, and you can disable anything that requires buying. With the hardware you get one year of the “Amazon Kids+” subscription, which includes a lot of interesting content such as books…
