🆕 blog! “Reading NFC Passport Chips in Linux”

For boring and totally not nefarious reasons, I want to read all the data contained in my passport's NFC chip using Linux. After a long and annoying search, I settled on roeften's pypassport.

I can now read all the passport information, including biometrics.

Things that piss me off in #Linux...

#KDE Plasma - resuming my laptop and being unable to access part of whatever app because it's covered by notifications of every Telegram message I received in the time my laptop had been sleeping.

Out of memory? Let's just lock up, with little hope of recovering other than hard reset. Doesn't affect all systems, but the ones it does drives me batty.

Oh, you have stuff running in terminal? But no kb or mouse input, so sleep!

It's true that open source is made up of community members coming together to make software solutions in a collaborative and open way.

It is also true that open source is defined by a bunch of licenses.

The licenses may not be the fun part, but being organized about what parts of your project are under which license is important for all the rest of it to work!

Thanks to the @fsfe we have an easier way to manage that. :)

Someone help me fix this in #linuxmint as I have failed to have gparted running. I install it, run it, and it asks for a password but when I put in the pw nothing happens. In the terminal I get this message

and I can't figure out how to fix it. No useable help from online forums.

Have you installed devel/libcjson via ports (or official pkg)? Or built without using ports?

https://www.freshports.org/devel/libcjson

Usually using ports/pkgs whenever available is the way to go on #FreeBSD.
And creating #ports at the first place is usually the way to go when porting #Linux apps to #FreeBSD to get massive benefits from ports framework.

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/

An example of help by ports framework:

Wanted: OSS life apps, subscription or self-hosted all good 💯 opinions are requested 💝
- Prefer group of OSS apps, but "Best in Class" list also good
- Requires cross-platform via either web-based, but ideally Android and Linux/BSD native apps
- Prefer not using NextCloud (due to PHP) but open to compromising if necessary
- Terminal access / TUI also yes wonderful
- Examples: reminders, notes, caldav, webdav, docs, etc

@rees Nice work! In the Universal Blue section, when you mention that it's causing a stir in the Linux world and things might be going that way in general.

The reason we're able to do what we do is that containers have dominated the Linux landscape since 2015 - we're just one of the first to bring cloud native techniques to the #linux desktop.

Vid is awesome, thanks!
