  1. Set up automatic LUKS decryption via a USB key — or an SD card through a reader, so you don't waste a port.

    Key present — boots silently. No key — asks for password as usual.

    The gotchas are subtle: one wrong separator in cryptkey and it silently falls back to password with no error. Missing ext4 in initramfs does the same. Fun debugging at boot time.

  2. A first little release for alpm-types, a crate with basic types for #ALPM based software (e.g. package managers, repository managers, etc.) such as #pacman and #makepkg 🎉

    More additions will follow as we are targeting a file specification and parser 🛠️

  3. DS3231 RTC looks simple until you actually sync it.

    The chip itself is — ±2ppm, I2C, done.
    The hard part is getting accurate time INTO it.

    Source is NTP over WiFi. But between the request
    and the write to RTC registers you have:

    — network latency (variable)
    — AES-256-GCM decrypt of the response
    — JSON parse

    By the time you write the timestamp,
    it's already 50-200ms stale. At ±2ppm accuracy
    that's noise larger than the chip's drift..

  4. Whoops, #ImageMagick was updated in the #FreeBSD repos :drgn_flat_sob:

    Sadly, it is a #slopware version — time to make "pkg lock".
