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.

Ended up kicking Docker Hardened Images to the curb.
The good folks at #Docker decided to update their #Redis image to use a distro-less start (no shell, no other utilities) *without changing the image tag*.
So when I started up my #Mastodon server after an upgrade, my customization script wouldn’t run in the container and I had to scramble to find an alternative.
Basically, they broke the contract of immutable image version tags. Won’t trust them again, even if it did harden #security further.
So this server is back to a good ol’ upstream #PostgreSQL image on #AlpineLinux. And #Valkey on #Alpine, too, because Redis Ltd..’s software licensing shenanigans are sketchy.

@landley @DavittoKun Again: Simplicity on it's own has value!
https://infosec.space/@OS1337/111795968531113076I don't expect OS/1337 to become the major #Desktop OS or even put a significant dent into #Yocto #Linux's marketshare.
But I'd rather want to see it as something that drives #CriticalInfrastructure like #MedicalIT, #PowerGrids and #PLCs instead of cringeworthy #Bloatware like #Windows that is laced with so much #Govware that we can truly say #Microsoft is incompetent...

Curious if others are experiencing #instability with #AMD processors or #GPU on #Linux or if this is #AlpineLinux specific. Opened an additional ticket that is focused on the AMD specific issue, since the last one appears it may have been generalized to the linux kernel overall. I do not see the same behavior on an #Intel #N100. https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16920 #bsod

Do you use @nodejs on @alpinelinux? While the Node.js project publishes Alpine containers to dockerhub it is currently an "experimental" platform and does not have the same guarantees as other platforms.
We are looking for volunteers to help us bring Alpine to "Tier 2" where it would be built and released through the normal CI process.
If you can help and/or work for a company depending on Node on Alpine/musl then let us know at https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/62764

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.

Hello everyone. I'm The Owlbear. I've been here for like, a bit, and decided I finally needed to do a proper intro post.
I'm into many nerdy things, particularly TTRPGS, Video Games, and Science Fiction. A few of my favorite things:
* #Pathfinder2e and #Golarian in general.
* #Murderbot
* #Terraria (I suck at it tho)
* #Fallout but not 76 (or any other multiplayer only game for that matter)
* A very specific and short list of #Anime
* The two #Alien movies (Alien and its sequel, Aliens). I'm so glad they never made more.
* #TTRPGs that aren't D&D 5e (earlier editions are cool tho)
* #IndieGames
* #GameDesign
* #Linux and #Gnome, particularly #Arch #VoidLinux #AlpineLinux and #Fedora
* #LGBTQIA2S
* #Owls
* #Bears
* #Owlbears
* The #DCEU - now that James Gunn is in chargeI like other stuff too.
I don't like hate, that crap they call AI these days, trolls, and being shitty just to be shitty.
I believe in love, compassion, empathy, and generally not being a shit person.

🎉 systemd Lands Experimental Support For musl libc - Phoronix
｢ Systemd today finally merged support for building against and using the musl libc library. This is a win for Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Alpine Linux, and others that use musl by default as their standard C library or offer it as an option. ｣
-
I kind of wish there was a version of Alpine that was libc based - just for desktop NVIDIA support really.
-
My Alpine install is complete.
Surprising absolutely no one that has known me for a while, I am running dwm.
What an amazing distro. I think I am probably going to move to Alpine full-time.

#SingleBoardComputer enthusiasts experienced with booting #Radxa #RadxaZero2Pro with #Amlogic #A311D #SoC? dd the Radxa Debian #linux img to an SDCard, which does boot. The same img file does not appear to boot when dd to USB. Something special need to be done to boot from USB or SDCard? #AlpineLinux appears to have amlogic a311d2 support from https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?file=*amlogic*a311d*.dtb. It's unclear how to get the standard or uboot Alpine tar.gz files to boot. Is this something with #uboot on #armv8/#aarch64?

#i386 machines running #Debian 12 Bookworm
@[email protected]
Debian 13 drops support for i386, which is bad news for my parents' laptops. I don't have the time to help them hop on a different distro right now, but I wonder if anybody here is in the same boat.
@[email protected] and @[email protected], my two faves, still offer support. FreeBSD demoted i386 to tier 2 in 2021. What else is out there? -
hey so. looking for a job (NZ or fully remote willing to hire a kiwi) in SRE, security, or linux/Unix system administration. 15 years experience administering Linux and Unix boxes, intermediate level of experience working with docker compose and containerisation and container security. No prior job experience unfortunately, all those 15 years were mostly personal projects and small-scale stuff for friends. I'm also 26, so I started when I was 11, explaining the no jobs so far. Currently running an entire multi-machine personal cloud infrastructure with a demonstration of all the services I have running at https://status.highenergymagic.net. Three machines, 72 docker containers. One running most of them, one running Mastodon+glitchsocial, one running the uptime monitor. encrypted root on ZFS, alpine linux, gVisor on supported containers, plan to move to Kata. Entirely willing to accept entry-level job placements, no expectation of being paid a lot or anything, just want to be doing something and move the needle a little on my current "being broke" status. Currently using gVisor, docker compose, and kata containers in production, experience with Linux, docker, Net/Open/FreeBSD, Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, Mikrotik and UniFi, configuring and administering Asterisk, plus extensive experience with IBM AIX and Sun Solaris. #fedihired #infosec #cybersecurity #linux #unix #docker #sre #DevOps #GetFediHired

the #dirtyfrag exploit does not run successfully on alpine because the path to the donor SUID binary is hardcoded as /usr/bin/su.
changing that to /bin/bbsuid allows the exploit to run, but it hangs for me on linux-lts 6.18.27.
interestingly, openpax kernels kill the exploit early in the exploit chain.
either way, 6.18.28 fixes it for everyone.
but it goes to show the danger of #SUID binaries and why SUID-less solutions like #capsudo are important.

El tiempo corre: Google cerrará Android en sept 2026. Campañas como “Keep Android Open” buscan soluciones, pero nos queda poco. Necesitamos unir fuerzas ya:coordinación comunitaria, porteo, pruebas, parches y documentación para migrar y mantener dispositivos. Proyectos como PostmarketOS ofrecen opciones técnicas, pero sin trabajo conjunto no bastan. Actuemos ahora, colaborando y firmando para ganar tiempo y libertad. #Android #OpenSource #KeepAndroidOpen @postmarketOS #linux @alpinelinux @phosh

I already learned last week that #homebrew and @alpinelinux already updated to syslog-ng 4.8.1, however now I checked #replogy at: https://repology.org/project/syslog-ng/versions and found up-to-date #syslog_ng in distros I have never heard about :-) Time to check #KaOS and #openmamba

This excellent video and link to the configs by @justaguylinux has me wanting to install and explore i3wm:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xrUVjFKD6E
I have this notion of configuring my Xorg desktop on Alpine Linux to have a single desktop with all windows as tabs, and i3wm has a built-in tab mode.
