The page is a wall, and the contributions are my spray paint. Like a tattoo'ed body telling a story.

Guten Morgen! Auf zum zweiten Tag des #OpenScienceFestivalDE, gestern war spannend mit vielen guten Diskussionen über #forschungsdatenmanagement, #OpenScience, #OpenSource. Besonders hat uns gefreut, dass wir für IndiScale einen Praxisworkshop zu #LinkAhead 's Python-Bibliothek halten durften. Wer den Workshop verpasst hat oder ihn nacharbeiten will, hier sind die Inhalte: gitlab.com/linkahead/doc/works…

Le processeur Z80 était au coeur d'un très grand nombre de micro-ordinateurs et a joué un grand rôle dans la démocratisation de l'informatique. J'apprends que sa production s'est arrêtée cette année. Zilog a donc produit ce processeur pendant... 48 ans ! 😮

Processeur utilisé dans le ZX81, probablement un des premiers ordinateurs familiaux disponibles en France. RAM 1K, horloge processeur 3,25MHz, graphiques texte noir et blanc 24X32 caractères, pas de son, interface utilisateur en BASIC avec les instructions associées aux touches du clavier. Il y en avait quelques uns accessibles dans le centre social près de chez moi 🙂

Fun fact : la calculatrice que j'utilisais au lycée (que j'ai fini en 2021), une TI-83 Premium CE, est basée sur le Zilog Z80


I just gave $47 for our 47th president. (I thought about waiting until there were 47 days left but I just couldn't wait that long.)

[solved ⬇️] This seems like a very basic feature for #mobileLinux, so I'm sure someone has to know how to do it but I just can't figure it out: is there a way to use #PAM to have the login be a simple set of digits while all other admin access still requires a proper password (a long list of alphanumerics and symbols).

I don't want to type a long password every time I want to unlock the screen of a phone/tablet but I want sudo/doas commands to be reasonably well protected.

No need to play with PAM for that. With sudo, set a root password and adding
Defaults rootpw
to /etc/sudoers with visudo and you are done.
(No idea how to do this with doas, yet).

Uninstalled Virtualbox because I'm sure my decision to stop using their free product will destroy Oracle, and also because whaddayaknow, #Gnome Boxes was already built-in, I just didn't know about it.
Took a little bit of tweaking to get the client full screen (Windows, because $EMPLOYER remote desktop won't allow #linux clients, so I have to use a VM to remote into their VM. Much productivity very Microsoft).
Not only do you have to install the spice add-ons to the client (spice-space.org/), if your host machine has a big enough display you might have to crank up the VRAM of the client machine, which nobody tells you about.
After installing the Spice add-ons it was only letting me do 2560*1600 or some such. So I set the RAM VRAM and VGAMEM (not sure if all of these are necessary) in the preferences for the virtual machine to 131072 (2^17) and now it's happily filling my 3840x2160 monitor.
Always good to get rid of proprietary software for an #OpenSource alternative.

At least they had the decency to include @wildflyas and #Shibboleth which are actual, and powerful, #OpenSource #IAM tools.
The rest is there for no reason, apparently: just look at the "Pricing" section #facepalm
