Chmouel | 7 days ago | on: The next generations of Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, and Bubbles are available now

i migrated my tui (lazyworktree) to it and it's been absolute pleasure, they finally fixed the isssue where row could not be "lipglossed"/colored as before (like on screenshots here https://chmouel.github.io/lazyworktree/#screenshots)

Chmouel | 2 years ago | on: An implementation of the NTFS filesystem in a Rust crate

I recently had a bit of a data hiccup on my desktop laptop, where I'm using Btrfs with LVM encryption. What's weird is that I started getting these random reboots out of the blue, with no error messages to explain what was going on. I was scratching my head for a while, thinking it might be a hardware issue.

Then, in frustration, I rebooted into my Windows partition, which I rarely ever use. to see if I could back up my stuff and figure out why I wasn't having the same reboot problems in Windows.

After trying a bunch of Btrfs repair commands over a bootable usb disk I found online, I hit a wall with some errors that couldn't be fixed. So, I threw in the towel and reinstalled my system with ext4. It's been running smoothly for three weeks now with no more error headaches.

Could not find the logs of the errors anymore unfortunately to report.

I think that's the actual goal of kcp: https://github.com/kcp-dev/kcp

I tried that last week, and for me the dealbreaker was the touchpad... It may not really important for other people but not being able to use the f keys directly on the laptop is annoying....

Chmouel | 3 years ago | on: What's new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

you can get them from catalog.redhat.com i.e: for the rhel/ubi9 images :

https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/search?q=ubi9...

red hat has some sort of partnership with docker to have them available in docker hub, i guess it's just not there yet...

Chmouel | 5 years ago | on: UK to depart from GDPR

As someone who was doing the other way around (hey dan!) working in australia coming from france i always find it weird how australian could accepts almost everything from the government with not much contestation,

I remember when there was a law who passed thru in Australia where every small company could fire anyone on the day (it wasn't the case before, i think there was a 3 month period or something).

The law passed and the only comments I could get from colleague at that time (not from you dan ;)) was "humm okay then"

In france there would be riots for months and years if such law passed.

Chmouel | 5 years ago | on: AlmaLinux an open-source RHEL fork

That's not the same thing, it's a whole different thing to do a "rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm" and to actually take a upstream source package it with a spec, patch it to make it compatible with other things in the distro and test them in different setup.

The challenge anyway is not to rebuild packages or make packages it is to actually maintain the build farms and the build tools.

source: i work for Red Hat (not doing any packages work tho) and I used to work for Mandrakesoft on Linux-Mandrake when we were basically rebuild Red Hat rpms to our flavour.

I was the first (or second depend of the point of view) employee of Mandriva back in 1999, quite a journey since then. Sad to see them gone
