Unlocking a LUKS-encrypted partition via ssh on Debian 12 Bookworm.
The process for setting up ssh-based decryption of a pre-boot LUKS partition on Debian 12 Bookworm is almost the same as with Debian 10/11, but some of the paths have changed.
I'm always looking for new and innovative wasy to excuse my book hoarding.
I hadn't realised I could use the 'I'll die someday so nothing matters' angle...😜😂
Found a nice piece of software in my mastodon bookmarks. For the people which can't live with a crispy sharp display ;)
It's part of #Debian#Bookworm and called cool-retro-term. There are many options for modding colors, over fonts (like Apple ]) or the jittering/burnin of the display.
The Github project you find here https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
There is also a precompiled dmg for usage inside MacOS classic.

That is over 33 thousand source packages that build reproducibly on amd64!
Not a huge percentage increase over the previous #Bullseye release... but that is about 2 thousand more reproducible packages than the all of the packages in bullseye.
Why in theory? Mainly because snapshot.debian.org does not reliably capture all historic package versions and sometimes throttles downloads too aggressively...
I'm your average next door gal. (Still) waiting my letter from #Hogwarts. Pretending I’m on #Bake Off and Paul Hollywood gives my a hug because I'm that Good!
With a few small bumps, managed to get the #Librem5 booting into a #Mobian installer, and installed with an encrypted rootfs!
So far, only have #Dino configured, but that is enough for this to be a hugely useful communications device, especially with #JMPchat to connect up to telephony networks!
Love the kill switches for cellular modem, wifi/bluetooth and camera/mic!
This is my first #Debian#Trixie based computer, as there may be issues with the now-stable #Bookworm on this hardware.
Good old times, where are you? Todays topic: #sound
My laptop, now on #Debian#bookworm, (and #PipeWire "just works". That is, music plays either via the local speaker, a USB Audio device, a Headphone, a USB headphone (one of those used for video calls), one or two bluetooth connected speakers or, now also, via HDMI. Without a hassle. It even remembers things when I plug/unplug. It lets me easily (KDE, something in the task bar) change stuff around, and it also has no problem to have one source push to multiple of the targets - at home music usually goes to two at the same time. You can even easily adjust the delay that one of them needs.
No long fiddling with any setup, magic or tools, it just works.
(Compared to the customer laptop that runs a recent copy of the #Windows fuckup that #microsoft dares to name "Operating system" - that one is overburdened just dealing with local speaker and usb headphones and breaks on that often enough). No idea why anyone uses that crap system.
On the one hand I’ve asked the 11yo to empty the dishwasher. On the other hand he’s lying on the couch reading #TerryPratchett and who am I to deny him his best life? #bookworm#reading
