  1. Very unsettling moment today when I turned on my old laptop, which I had not used for about a year, and realized I had totally forgotten the password for my user name. (It’s a different password on the new laptop.)

    I was about to use #SystemRescue to manually change the password, then decided: well, let me try one variant of what I have been unsuccessful with. Luckily, it worked.

  2. #Ventoy ist eigentlich die Sache, um #linux Live zu starten. Ich hab da ein gutes Dutzend Distris drauf. Von #clonezille, #systemrescue, #gparted und so paar Desktop Systeme wie #linuxmint #endeavouros oder #mxlinux für verschiedene Zwecke.
    Heute bin ich über distrosea.com #distrosea gestolpert. Ok, die eigene Hardware kann man nicht testen und das Netzwerk ist auch deaktiviert.
    Aber man kann im Browser so einiges ansehen und probieren - ohne das System neu zu starten. 👍 cool!

  5. SystemRescue 13 arriva con kernel 6.18 LTS, nuovi strumenti e un supporto migliore ai file system. Un aggiornamento essenziale per chi gestisce sistemi e recupero dati. #Linux #SystemRescue

  6. Die ersten @Datenpunks sind schon auf dem Weg zur Bürgerwache auf dem #Siggi, dem Herzen des Westens von #Bielefeld. Manche haben Malerkrepp und Stifte für die Namensschilder der Helfenden dabei, andere Mehrfachsteckdosen oder Vernetzungstechnik. Ich bringe 20 USB-Sticks mit. Von denen lassen sich verschiedene Gnu/Linux-Distributionen und Desktops starten, und zwar diese:
    :linuxmintnew: :archlinux: :mxlinux: :debian: :fedora: :opensuse: :cachyos: :zorin: :elementaryos: :endeavourOS: :ubuntu: :gnome: :kde: :xfce:

    Ab 15:30 Uhr erwarten wir die Teilnehmenden mit ihren Laptops, um ihnen beim Installieren von Gnu/Linux zu helfen. :tux: Ihr könnt noch spontan dazukommen!
    datenpunks.de/event/linux-inst

    Für den Fall, dass etwas schief geht, sind auch ein paar Rettungssysteme auf den Multi-Boot-Sticks (#grml, #systemrescue, #supergrub, #bootrepair) und #rescuezilla für Backups. Die Datensicherung solltet ihr allerdings schon vorher gemacht haben, denn dafür wird die Zeit in der Bürgerwache nicht reichen.

    Anlass dieser Popup-Werkstatt ist das Ende von Windows 10. Ihr wisst ja hoffentlich alle, dass ihr Windows 10 nicht mehr benutzen solltet, denn seit dem 14.10.2025 gibt es dafür keinen Support mehr, also auch keine Sicherheitsupdates. (Wer Microsoft seine persönlichen Daten schenkt, bekommt eine Gnadenfrist von einem Jahr.) Windows 11 lässt sich auf vielen Laptops nicht installieren, obwohl sie noch einwandfrei sind. Auf fast allen lässt sich Gnu/Linux installieren, und damit werden sie so schnell und sicher sein wie noch nie. Eure Windows-Dateien könnt ihr auch unter Linux öffnen – wenn nicht lokal, dann in einer Web-App.

  7. #SystemRescue 12.02 live system rescue and recovery tool is out now with ssss, a command-line implementation of the Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme, improved audio support, and #Linux kernel 6.12.43 LTS system-rescue.org/Changes-x86/

  9. Arch-based SystemRescue 12, designed for file recovery, backups, and OS repairs, brings kernel 6.12 LTS, bcachefs support, and more.

  10. This is worse than it seemed at first. Even though #SecureBoot is *disabled* in #BIOS, the #MOK volume is still full and one cannot boot SecureBoot-aware systems. I *could* boot with a #SystemRescue stick, but not with #openSUSE #Tumbleweed or #Leap installation images.

    Quick googling seemed to point to resetting the key storage to factory defaults, so I did that. Now Leap installation is safely under way.

  11. Yesterday was one of the very few times I managed to lock myself out of my #Gentoo system.

    This time I didn't understand the severity of a warning after a systemd update.

    With an older #SailfishOS SDK I had to set systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=false on the kernel command-line to get the build docker image working. The updated systemd no longer supports this, and refused to launch...

    Good that I have a #SystemRescue CD for such situations... IT took less than 15 minutes to fix it.

  12. @Gentoo_eV Given that I get a KVM console in time, I will demonstrate my installation guide (gentoo.duxsco.de/) in English using a #Hetzner dedicated server.

    • What? Beyond Secure Boot – Measured Boot on Gentoo Linux?
    • When? Saturday, 2024-10-19 at 18:00 UTC (20:00 CEST)
    • Where? Video call via BigBlueButton: bbb.gentoo-ev.org/

    The final setup will feature:

    • #SecureBoot: All EFI binaries and unified kernel images are signed.
    • #MeasuredBoot: #clevis and #tang will be used to check the system for manipulations via #TPM 2.0 PCRs and for remote LUKS unlock (you don't need tty).
    • Fully encrypted: Except for ESPs, all partitions are #LUKS encrypted.
    • #RAID: Except for ESPs, #btrfs and #mdadm based #RAID are used for all partitions.
    • Rescue System: A customised #SystemRescue (system-rescue.org/) supports SSH logins and provides a convenient chroot.sh script.
    • Hardened #Gentoo #Linux for a highly secure, high stability production environment.
    • If enough time is left at the end, #SELinux which provides Mandatory Access Control using type enforcement and role-based access control
  13. #DIY gift recipe for #nerds: Hacker Multi-Boot Drive!

    1) Get a USB enclosure: USB 4.0 is best, but anything that says 20Gbps is fine; amzn.to/3TPz9bG

    2) Get an M.2 NVMe: PCIe 4.0 is best, but 3.0 works too;
    amzn.to/3XOIp10

    3) Install #Ventoy ventoy.net/en/doc_start.html

    4) Load up with ISOs: #memtest #clonezilla #hiren #systemRescue and #gparted for getting old computers working. #ubuntu #mint or some other #linux. #kali for h4x0ring.

    5) Decorate!
