Until now I've never bothered to look into the internals of keyboard software support and whatnot, but for a long time I somehow put up with #Alpine #Linux (or maybe it was a #KDE / #Wayland issue?) not enabling by default key repeat - or however you call holding a button and have it register as continuous holding instead of a single press.
Lo and behold, on #OpenBSD that just works (I just passed by the conf where key repeat is explicitly defined, so you know real people put real effort into this system). On the other hand, changing the language on my keyboard when using cwm instead of something like KDE?...
setxkbmap -layout ro does not output an error, but still doesn't mean it actually switched me to Romanian (however, something like French actually just works). wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=ro outputs the error that ro is not a valid encoding. According to the documentation, encodings are apparently listed in /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h - and indeed, there seems to be no "ro" in there. Changing locale didn't seem to help either.
Then I took a deep dive into the man page of wsconsctl(8). There it says: "The current mapping can be printed with wsconsctl keyboard.map. The value for each keycode specifies the keysym that is output when each of Key, Shift + Key, AltGr + Key, or Shift + AltGr + Key is pressed" A magic thing then happens... I test wsconsctl keyboard.map+="keycode 15 = l L at" - afterwards, I see in the keyboard mapping "l L at at"; the output is a Polish l=L with slash. I decide to test AltGr with every other key on my keyboard...
I burst into laughter when I realized that I do have now Romanian characters: they were hidden in plain sight, usable with AltGr as modifier. I can't seem to spot them in keyboard.map, where according to the documentation all keysyms should be specified. Maybe setxbkmap did the magic on top? At least I am grateful I can type ăâșîț and not have to copy paste the characters.

Ich habe #Alpine Linux in meinem Mail-Container von 3.21 auf 3.23 aktualisiert und damit auch #Dovecot auf Version 2.4.x - was eine Neukonfiguration bedeutet, da sich die Konfigdateien grundlegend geändert haben. War das ein Krampf. Meine bisherige Konfig war echt simpel: Mailuser = Systemuser, Auth über driver shadow. Mööp - gibt es bei Dovecot 2.4 nicht mehr, Nachfolger ist der Driver "PAM". Gibt es aber bei Alpine nicht. Es muss also zwingend eine eigene Auth-Datenbank bzw. ein eigenes Passwd-File für Dovecot angelegt werden. Dann klappte die Mailauslieferung an die Inbox nicht mehr, weil dovecot-lda nun die globale Config einliest und als User-Prozess natürlich nicht auf den SSLPrivate Key zugreifen darf. Also musste eine zusätzliche Config nur für den LDA angelegt werden. Orrr ...

@saustrup Get well soon. I am struggling with the spring laryngitis. and playing with distros: one #alpineliux, one #openbsd ( my local git server ), one #netbsd where I am learning Go, and an #rpi with #raspbian just to see if it was still alive. All on cheap refurbished machines. I stopped teaching it, no I am only playing with it. But it’s fun.
PS #mash ran out on my streaming. I look for late seasons (>16) of #NCIS -

Alpine Linux, Ligera y Minimalista
Seguramente muchos bloggers y vbloggers, han escrito mucho, sobre esta distribución, que definitivamente no es para todos los casos, ya que Alpine Linux es una distribución #Linux ideal para #IoT y dispositivos embebidos (como #Arduino/ #RaspberryPi), desconozco si ya se tienen planes de ampliar sus usos a Lavadoras, microondas, termostatos, unidades de control de motor (ECU), sistemas de frenos…

Week 6 of #OneWeekOneDistro - #Alpine Linux, #i3wm here.
I missed this minimalistic system experience for a while: out-of-box it's pure console without anything, but taking just ~70MB RAM. Setting up X and the WM was not super smooth, but here is what I got.
I believe it's an excellent solution for some special purposes with containers, embedded or very old hardware, but not something I'd suggest for a modern desktop system.

Rethinking sudo with object capabilities
Alpine Linux maintainer Ariadne Conill has published a very interesting blog post about the shortcomings of both sudo and doas, and offers a potential different way of achieving the same goals as those tools.
Systems built around identity-based access control tend to rely on ambient authority: policy is centralized and errors in the policy con

I didn't stop at Alpine Linux Pi5 install
I continued with LibreELEC the Kodi Raspberry Pi installation.
LibreELEC is a wonderful distro to play with.

I've been packaging #mycroft for Alpine Linux lately and finally got it to talk to me after I asked it a question today. Hopefully we can run it on our phones and maybe even TV's (#plasmabigscreen) soon!

@rl_dane @codemonkeymike @glitzersachen I'm running #OpenBSD on an old Toshiba laptop. Suspend acted funny once or twice, but otherwise seems to be working, that being said I don't use suspend a lot.
I can say not enough thanks to OpenBSD for having crafted a reasonably smooth installation and post-installation process.
Otherwise, it did personally help me that I've switched from #Alpine Linux, where one also has to spend a bit of time in the tty and manually edit a few config files with vi or something else. -
This is the next Raspberry distro I shall play with

As of today #postmarketos on irc.oftc.net is the fifth biggest IRC channel on OFTC.
#alpine-linux is, as of today, *the* biggest OFTC channel, and behind #alpine-linux is #oftc itself.

I think I've finally graduated from #linux college.
I've got an old Sony Vaio with 2gb ram and a piss-poor CPU. I tried everything on it. #openbsd, #alpineliux, #tinycore, #antixlinux.. but at the end of the day, it's just slow. So I settled on Alpine with no graphical session. I've been living in the TTY for about 2 weeks now and I gotta say.. who needs a GUI?
With #tmux as my window(pane) manager, I'm able to do everything I need it to.

Recent privilege escalation vulnerabilities in GNU C Library #glibc widely used in many #Linux distributions such as #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Fedora and others.
CVE-2023-6246 #privesc #vuln can be triggered via #syslog by using long program name or ident parameter in openlog().
Another vulnerability is in #qsort function. While real-world affected programs are currently not known, this vulnerability is pretty old - since 1992 until now.
This is just another reason to consider using Linux distribution without glibc, for example #Alpine Linux with #musl

I've updated my @nlnetlabs #unbound #docker image and build environments to #alpine #linux 3.18.5 and optimized the #openssl and image #dockerfiles a bit. The size got reduced, too. The version is 1.19.0-2 now.
It's almost the image's second anniversary, btw! 🥳

It is based on Alpine Linux 3.23.4.

Anyways, the last part of today's research dive was more #Docker.
The most interesting discovery was #distroless images. I was familiar with #Alpine #Linux, but I hadn't really stumbled across distroless yet. Specifically I noticed that #Envoy shipped a distroless image, but neglected to really explain it short of "it's faster and better".
Google's distroless project is limited to standalone application runners (Node, Java), but #ChainGuard has their #Wolfi images that cover more bases. 👍
