Dustin Kirkland here. I lead the Engineering team at Chainguard. We've just published a beta of a Chainguard OS image for Raspberry Pi (v4 and v5), built using the same hardened compilers, libraries, tool chains, and applications as our commercial catalog of container images. We're sharing here for HackerNews' most insightful feedback and comments!


Any plans to run push the kernel to the wolfi oss repos rather than chainguard-private and make the melange source for `linux-raspberry-pi-*` available? That would make it more appealing to the open-source community.


Try using ssh-import-id to fetch your (or a friend or colleague's) public key from Github!


If you like ssh-import-id to pull keys from GitHub, you’ll love AuthorizedKeysCommand to pull keys from GitHub.

Depending on use case, though, this can be a bit sketch. At smallstep we like SSH certificates, which make life similarly easy on everyone with a bunch of other benefits. You can find a couple relevant posts on our blog if you’re interested.

Incidentally, GitHub now supports SSH certificates (for enterprise edition, at least).


Hi there! I'm the author and maintainer of Byobu (byobu.org) here. Byobu started as "Screen for mere mortals", but eventually pivoted to work with Tmux, as well. Nowadays, Byobu is much more tightly tied to Tmux. You can think of it, as a super opinionated set of Tmux settings, easily portable across all of your machines. Happy to answer any questions here!


Does Byobu run best on Ubuntu?

Or is Byobu not (or not any longer) tied to any particular Linux distribution (I am an ubuntu user) ?


As a byobu user, the only difficulties I've had getting it working was when I tried to get it on Android/termux, which doesn't provide Python/etc packages through apt (default termux repos also don't provide gcc). It works fine for me on fedora and other full distros. As far as working well, byobu doesn't work well on windows WSL1, but I think that's more related to the process model being different and the missing (filesystem, init) functionally for status bar applets.


(Author of Byobu here) Byobu does run "best" on Ubuntu + Gnome-Terminal + Tmux, mainly because that's the primary environment in which I test it. However, I and others have ported and used it on many other Linux and Unix systems, and I'm always happy to take bug reports and patches that fix issues on other OSes.


Why tmux instead of the screen?


It's a very reasonable concern. I used to have a Google Assistant in my home office. I've muted the mic and just use it as a Bluetooth speaker.

However, the much bigger concern should be your phone, which has a mic, is internet connected, and almost always listening. You need to also disable the Google Assistant, Sciri, etc. there too.

Oh, and that doesn't just go for your home. That's in the office, at a client, on the train, in an Uber... Everywhere you take your phone.


> Oh, and that doesn't just go for your home.

Once you're out of your home it's hopeless - then you have everybody else's devices to contend with.


How did you mute the microphone? Through the software, which is controlled over the network, or with judicious application from a screwdriver? The latter would be the only way I would trust.


Blog post author here... I'm happy to discuss anything in that post here (rather than Blogger comments, which are pretty unmanageable). Cheers! Dustin


Author/maintainer of Byobu here... Tell me more about your "byobu crash". Can you point me to any bug reports in either bugs.launchpad.net/byobu or github.com/dustinkirkland/byobu ? Thanks! @DustinKirkland


Hi Dustin, thanks for the response. Unfortunately this was nearly a decade ago on Ubuntu server 10.04, and I'm sure that a lot has changed since then.

If I have the time, though, I'll fire up byobu and see if I can make it happen again. I tend to leave sessions open for many months and it wasn't something which happened on a regular basis, and I never experienced it with bare tmux.


Reminds me of the Grateful Dead song I sing my kids when I put them to bed, "The Monkey and the Engineer".


Am I the only person who saw the headline and assumed this was about onion routing?


I do love single malt scotch whisky.

But I will say...Sherry by itself is totally underated.

I spent a week in Jerez a few years ago studying Sherry and it is truly an art.

If you like Single Malt and Sour Beer, you owe it to yourself to seek out a Sherry bar and explore the magic of Fino, Amontillado, and the ever evasive Palo Cortado.


The tough thing about sherry is that it doesn’t keep. I can keep 5-6 different interesting whiskeys in my house for months, but a sherry bottle has to get drunk within a week.

We had a restaurant in Chicago, Vera, with a huge sherry list. It was kind a of a miracle; I’d rather go there than to Longman with their equivalently long whiskey list. Gone now though :(.
