  1. 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.

  2. Alpine Linux is vulnerable to Copy Fail in case any third-party SUID program is installed, e.g. doas or sudo

  3. 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 ...

  4. @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…

  7. Ich habe unter #Alpine #Linux das Problem, dass der Midnight Commander mc segfaulted. Schaue mich gerade nach einer Alternative um. Derzeit im Test: #vifm

  8. Week 6 of - Linux, 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.

  10. 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

  11. 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.

  12. 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!

  13. @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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

    Reference: blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilitie

    This is just another reason to consider using Linux distribution without glibc, for example #Alpine Linux with #musl

  17. I did a thing! I made an #elinks container image using #Alpine #Linux. Now you can browser the internet from your terminal like a pro from one of your fancy immutable distros.

  20. I've updated my @nlnetlabs image and build environments to 3.18.5 and optimized the and image a bit. The size got reduced, too. The version is 1.19.0-2 now.

    It's almost the image's second anniversary, btw! 🥳

  21. this really has me stumped.. ;-;

    alpine linux guest on vmd(8), ping response times have these impossible values, and dns responses arrive but fail *after* with "no answer"

    (context: 10.0.0.1 is a host on my vpn - physically far, definitely *not* 0ms away)

    #openbsd #vmd

  22. 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. 👍

  23. someone have tried to make a comparision about this distros:

    Alpine linux
    Parrot
    Kali linux
    Blackarch

    I try to forge a small Server with some NAS, security and firewall function: the laptop i will use is this:

    AMD ryzen 3 3200u
    8GB ddr4
    120GB SSD
