- It's ironic - Rust in Liminix
tl;dr I thought there was was going to be some Rust in Liminix, but it turns out there isn't. I'm not opposed to adding it, but the application I thought I had for it turns out to be better done in C
- Centralised logging with Liminix and VictoriaLogs
It's a year since I wrote Log off, in which I described some ongoing-at-the-time work to make Liminix devices log over the network to a centralised log repo. It's also, and this is entirely a coincidence, a year since I made any kind of progress on it: since that time all my log messages have continued to be written to ramdisk that will be lost forever like tears in the rain.
- Liminix is one (dot zero)
Liminix is 1.0 today!
- The pen (test) is mightier than the sword
The NGI0 Entrust Fund, of which Liminix is a beneficiary, also offers technical services and expertise, and one of the services on offer is a security audit.
- BTW I use AArch(64)
Been a while since I did one of these, but I found some time during the Christmas holidays to advance the state of Liminix a bit by finishing off the port to Belkin RT3200. It turned out to be a lot closer to finished already than I remember it, which was gratifying.
- Log off
I missed doing a blog update in September, but I did make a video demonstrating using an external source for secrets management. With a new better microphone, too, so the audio is less awful.
- Secret Service
What I have lately been working on in Liminix is adding the ability to have it use an external source for secrets instead of baking them into the image.
- A surfiet of services
It feels like a while since I wrote one of these, but this might be because [checks post history] it has indeed been a while since I wrote one of these. Sorry about that. It's been a bit of a slog.
- No, U dev
This week in Liminix: also, last week and for several weeks preceding, it has been all about the "device database".
