Repurposing Chromebooks: a general method.
A bit more than a year and a half ago, I bought around 10 cheap Chromebooks to better understand how they can be turned back into regular PCs. Here are the notes I took. I just wanted to remember the overall idea and not a detailed list of step-by-step instructions, as it differs from each model. Basically, I just quickly documented the installation pattern, so I can do it again next time, or teach others to do it.

Maybe this can be useful for others, who are looking for a rough TL;DR process, or are contemplating the idea to do the same and would like an overview of the different main steps.

New blogpost: "Configuring dovecot as a separate mail server for encrypted email storage, and fighting with Thunderbird to accept it"
I woke up far too early this morning, so I thought I'd write up a small project I undertook a few months back, as part of my decoded.legal ISO-27001-ish programme.
It was pretty straightforward, right up until I had to fight with Thunderbird, and wow was Thunderbird a complete pain here. But I won!

Yesterday, I was asked to create a Docker server for specific software distributed as a Docker Compose file. I created an Alpine Linux VM, copied the Compose file, and ran it. Everything is working perfectly.
This morning, the person who provided the file asked me about the Ubuntu version of the VM. When I replied that it's an Alpine Linux host, they insisted that Alpine Linux doesn't work because "Docker works properly only on Ubuntu." I tried to explain that it doesn't matter, as the Compose file doesn't require any Ubuntu-specific commands (it's just pulling images from Docker Hub), but they are insisting that I need to install Ubuntu or they won't proceed with the operations.
I'm so disheartened to see such closed-mindedness.

Another great article on #FreeBSD and #BSD in general. El Reg's coverage of EUROBSDCON 2024 and Stefano Marinelli's talk presentation on switching from #Linux to #BSD.
Marinelli's presentation was great and highlighted, still, how relevant *BSD is in the Linux-dominated landscape. Definitely worth reading and the article contains links to his presentation and slide deck.

$HOME
on #NFS, I'm sometimes annoyed by lots of applications "freezing" when there's some issue with the NFS server. I just decided I'll try to prevent this in #Xmoji.Now, how to do that? Nonblocking mode (which I use for sockets etc) doesn't do anything for regular files, they're always "ready to read/write". Still, actually reading or writing might block your thread. Then there's #POSIX #aio. From what I found, this has issues in real implementations, e.g. #FreeBSD uses kernel workers for implementing it, which are limited, and also doesn't even allow it on NFS by default, because it could cause deadlocks. Looking at the #Linux side, there seems to be some platform-specific async I/O implementation in the kernel, but #glibc implements the POSIX aio entirely in userspace... 🤯
Ok, screw all that. I'll do the simple thing and use worker #threads for file I/O calls, should be somewhat easy as I already have a "threadpool" in #poser. I just started doing that in my "filewatcher" in case it needs to use stat()
