Two different crossposters have stopped working for me after a while. I do all my posting on Mastodon nowadays. Guess this account will be very quiet.

DOScember is nearly over and none of my systems are bootable. Hoping to venture out on Tuesday to find the following:
Dual P2 system
* ATX case
* ATX PSU
RapidCAD system
* Basically a complete 386 system except the CPU and coprocessor

Amazon driver: calls to say they can't deliver because the hill is too icy to drive up and offers to let me pick up my package from him in a parking lot in town. I drive into town and the hill is merely damp.

UPS: drives right up to my front door, gets out, drops off packages and some branches they cleared from my driveway
One of these has a union.

Partner ordered dinner from a Chinese buffet we haven't tried. Neither of us were prepared for the portion size. We have enough food to feed 12 right now.

Started up an illumos VM on one of my Proxmox hosts. Saw heavy packet loss but only to that VM and only to/from off host. 24h of playing with things later, seems illumos VMs on Proxmox 7 with a Cisco VIC 1227 NIC consistently breaks ARP in mysterious ways. Turning off (1/2)

offloads and other common tricks did nothing. Linux VMs on the same host have no problems. Fresh illumos VMs have the same problem. Swap to a Mellanox CX-3, problem solved. There's a bug somewhere but I'm not going to find it. (2/2)

I've been designing a moderately complicated PKI using X.509 certs with some very specific requirements imposed by the hardware used. I looked around to find a tool that would let me quickly prototype the whole hierarchy. Plenty of tools exist to make self-signed certs or (1/3)

operate a simple CA. None of them were easy to use to setup a 2 or 3 layer hierarchy. So, in typical @oxidecomputer@hachyderm.io fashion, I spent a week building a tool: github.com/oxidecomputer/pki… . It's very rough and has no documentation other than the one example I've been (2/3)

Dogs got into two fights today. Astrid finally wounded Poe this time. While she may see this as a victory in the dominance struggle, Jay and I are looking up dog trainers for in-home help.

Still trying to find a way to have a shared CephFS without running a central directory (LDAP/AD/etc). ceph-fuse is a dead end. I was hoping I could override st_uid/st_gid but it doesn't use the high-level libfuse API.
Next idea is to build an SCIM client that creates local (1/2)

users. uid/gid will need to be consistent across systems that share a CephFS but not necessarily globally unique/consistent. (2/2)

A red flag: When your partner loves to "debate" you and these conversations leave you feeling embarrassed, frustrated and stupid. That's not a debate and that's not a conversation, that's your partner demeaning you.

Really enjoyed #hushcon and meeting more local folks. Still feels weird having moved here Jan 2020 and only just now really to get to know the local infosec/hacking scene.
