Given that Todd Warner stopped doing his element-desktop packages I thought I'd try building them. I'm now much sadder but wiser about the extreme difficulty of electron offline builds. Here they are for openSUSE and Fedora: build.opensuse.org/package/show/h…

Given what's been happening on twitter, I should mention I do have a mastodon account @[email protected], but I mainly use it for checking activitypub on my blog @[email protected] The latter will do mastodon likes and replies as well

I had reason to try to do ipsec for confidential computing and discovered the documentation about how ip xfrm actually works is pretty much non-existent, so this is my attempt to document it: blog.hansenpartnership.com/figuring-out-h…
