Well, that’s the last excuse I needed. Time to finally buy Witchfire.

Ironically, my first instinct to opening that page and seeing it’s unusual layout and density on mobile was to switch to the reader view. Immediately getting hit with the cyphertext output. Cool, I guess.

I suppose I could have phrased that better. The registers themselves correspond to particular applications/stages, but the values store in those registers should change based on how the application/stage was loaded. Switch the order or inject a new binary and the hash from that stage on should change.

Any changes in the boot process should change various PCR registers. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module#Accessing_PCR_registers

Yeah, that’s it. I normally recommended going through the main readme https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader?tab=readme-ov-file#-installation

If I resort to using a Mac I want someone to put me out of my misery.

There was a rather famous piece of software at my last job. Guy writing it wanted job security. A lot of the core variables of the application were named based on the sounds a helicopter made. God damn onomatopoeia variables. Pretty sure that shit is still in use somewhere.

Yeah, not sure how much he’s distancing himself from FUTO related things though. He brought up grayjay recently, but only specifically to talk about the devs comments on recent Texas app store legislation. Kind of a wash.

Given he is playing politician now, I don’t think he’s going to make a public statement about it. Not only would it hurt his influence but it would probably stall out any ongoing negotiations regarding right to repair. Shit sucks in general.

Honestly surprised nobody has tried to sell some bolt on diffusing/screen mask for this reason

I’m pretty sure the mirror was setup before that was an option. No reason to turn it off now that it’s a source of entertainment.

It’s better than nothing but I hate the additional logs that came from it constantly fighting firewalld.

This was a large part of the reason I switched to rootless podman for everything

Do the opposite of all this, assuming you ran this script some time between 2024 and now:

Honestly, I was running into the limits of stow. Want to unstow some configs on a bare machine? I hope you wanted that entire directory to be a symlink. Then I saw that someone had actually fixed that many years ago but the maintainer at the time was caught up in some personal crypto related projects and did not appear to be looking at the mailing list.

Chezmoi fixed that, applied a templating engine and added a data mechanism. In moving my stow configs I realized that application specific config file deployments are nice but shouldn’t be necessary. Templates fill that gap, and meshing them with scripts allows you to do some cool things only when variables change.

Plus I was beginning to play around with go at the time, so it just seemed like a good idea to use something I could contribute to if I needed.

I still don’t think I’m using chezmoi to it’s full potential, but I am fairly proud of the script I use to determine data sources for my waybar config on all of my machines.

All public and I regularly link people to my bash functions. Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi. If I need anything more complex than chezmoi for these I’ll probably give up syncing them altogether.

It’s astounding how many lowlifes are using commit counts to measure impact. It’s just throwing bisectability out the window and promoting stupid tactics for quick returns.

The problem here being these payment processors are global and none of this is illegal in the jurisdictions affected. This regional blocking, while nice, shouldn’t even need to be a “solution” to this. It’s a sledgehammer “solution” to something that was never enough of an issue for actual legislation.

Edit: clarify point

Well, to be fair the 10 series was actually an impressive improvement to what was available. Since then I switched to AMD for better SW support. I know since then the improvements have dwindled.
