I am an Archlinux user, and I heavily rely on systemd for most of my userspace needs. From time to time, I want my laptop not to suspend when I close its lid. I used to do so (DON’T, it’s the wrong way) with the following sudo systemctl mask suspend.target Poettering wasn’t impressed, but did … Continue reading TIL: systemd and suspend
12.12.2024 13:51TIL: systemd and suspendI have a pretty long and articulated ssh config. It reflects the plethora of hosts I want to have access to, and the fact that I do not want to use the same identity (i.e. the same cryptographic key) for all of them. This leads to have a lot of Host blocks with wildcard matches … Continue reading A ssh_config trick to rewrite hosts
14.5.2024 07:34A ssh_config trick to rewrite hostsI just read this article. It exudes a heavy Teutonic attitude to life in that it assumes that all the time dedicated to work is meant to be directed by the employer’s will, or rigidly adhere to production-aimed customs. An excerpt from it reads: “Wait a minute! Should I sacrifice one hour of my precious … Continue reading Work time should not be slavery
31.8.2023 07:00Work time should not be slaveryTL;DR: conductor is a new library I have been working on recently, check it out. Why I am planning to fully rework papero. In particular, the daemon that handles the synchronization of the local folders with the remote IMAP server. The use case that I care most should allow for a single daemon to handle … Continue reading Introducing: Conductor, a small library to coordinate work in a program
8.6.2023 22:21Introducing: Conductor, a small library to coordinate work in a programDisclaimer While the premise of this post might seem a bit cringe, in that is fundamentally a missed conversation with someone I have no way to talk to (and I don’t picture myself as some sort of stan of him), I think it is a good starting point for a broader reflection on some of … Continue reading The lone hacker
19.1.2022 16:30The lone hackerI own a very nice piece of plastic and chips since the end of 2018. My previous smartphone was a shiny almost-everlasting Nexus 5, that unfortunately fall out of the grace of its creators (google + LG stopped to provide updates a long time ago, but the community of OSS tinkerers maintained an updated version … Continue reading Successfully unfucking a fucked partition set in an A/B android device
19.5.2021 16:16Successfully unfucking a fucked partition set in an A/B android deviceDisclaimer If you stumbled upon this post, coming from crates.io, I am sorry. This is just a little sleight of hand to raise the issue on the (absence of) policy choices in crates.io. I am aware of this part of the Policies: Using an automated tool to claim ownership of a large number of package … Continue reading Why so much ado with crates.io?
29.3.2021 13:21Why so much ado with crates.io?With this post I try to materialize some thoughts that have been in my head since I quit academia. The reason why I am doing it now, 6 years after I parted ways with professional research, comes from this twitter thread (from an account I have never heard of, but the content tickled me). While … Continue reading Academia and capitalism
11.2.2021 23:00Academia and capitalismAfter some time, I found this very useful piece of information, on how to make function again apcupsd. The gotcha is this you should change DEVICE /dev/ttys0 to DEVICE in /etc/apsupsd/apsupsd.conf with nothing after it, this way apcupsd search everywhere on the system to find the UPS and connect correctly Thanks internet!
29.11.2020 21:28TIL: apcupsd wants no deviceToday I learned that restarting dovecot with the systemd unit provided by debian (on buster) is not enough to reload the configuration. systemctl restart dovecot I had to manually run doveadm reload Then I realized that this is integrated in the systemd unit, using reload instead of restart: [Unit] Description=Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server Documentation=man:dovecot(1) Documentation=http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ … Continue reading TIL: Dovecot stubbornness
