Pretty self-explanatory. What is everyone working on right now?
Currently, I'm working on sharpening my scripting and development skills with respect to system administration. As in, I'm not trying to become some rockstar software engineer, but I want to be fluent enough to where it significantly aids in maintaining a system. Right now I'm working with python, but I've ordered The Rust Programming Language. I'm interested in using rust and python both for system administration.
Oh, I also just got ssh working with my PGP key. w00t. This makes life a lot easier. No more backing up ssh keys, just back up my PGP key. And one single key to use everywhere. Now I just need to set it up on my personal VPS since I use that as a jump station to everywhere else.
But yeah, let's hear it! Tell us what you're working on!

Now that I've got lists.tildeverse.org up and running I don't really know for short term.
Maybe I'll finally catch up on the 3 (4?) days of Advent of code that I have slacked on...

Rust isn't really intended to be a scripting language, afaiak, but I've heard good things!

The next step is moving your privkey onto a yubikey :)

Definitely nice to have a single hub to log on to! I do the same thing with my weechat. Maybe I should stand up a mailserver on there as well for redundancy.

That was poor wording on my part - I'm not trying to use it as a scripting language, haha. Python as the scripting language and Rust as the compiled language in my system administration toolbox.

I really should get a yubikey :)

I should be getting a VPS shortly so I think I will use that in the same way as ahriman is.

Hey ~ahriman,
Pretty self-explanatory. What is everyone working on right now?
Currently not doing much. Lately been working on my Discord bot and it's config website, but I think I'll have a break from it.
I've been considering to make a website with something else than PHP. Not that I hate PHP, but to experiment some stuff with Flask or something else.
I also recently discovered a variant of Python called CPython which sounds noice.

Sounds cool. Have fun learning Rust :)

How on Earth do you do that ? O.o' This sounds great !

PS: I dunno how my client will behave with the "Integrated PGP" setting. Let's hope for the best x') PS 2: I also hope my mail will be sent first try without ~ben needing to validate all the things ^^

Hey that's cool! I always had a weird curiosity about using Ruby for web development. I bet you'll make some cool shit!

Basically you set gpg-agent to handle SSH authentication, then tell gpg-agent which key(s) to use for SSH auth. This is a good guide: https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide#ssh
If you set it up correctly, you can then gpg --export-ssh-key [id] to get your public ssh key that you place in .ssh/authorized_keys on whatever remote server. And your ability to ssh in goes wherever your gpg key goes, which makes it great for a yubikey.
I need to get a yubikey next so I can just store my pgp key on that instead of relying on manually backing it up.
Oh, by the way Matthias, it looks like your PGP signature was inline. If you use mutt or neomutt, it will automagically be an attachment.

I'm setting up a couple of rpi to handle my 2 cheap UPSs and serve that information to the other machines connected to them, so they chan poweroff properly in the event of a power outage.
Also, while I'm at it, I'll attach some 7-segment display to the pi to provide a nice clock and maybe some UPS info ... still not sure about that.
Anyway, my backlog of systems and electronics projects is way bigger than I can do on my free time, and it keeps growing. So there's always somethig to do !

I'm not really a developer, but after some years of having to create scripts and little programs in about every language I thik I settled now with shell script (POSIX) for almost everything, if that falls short I go with pyton3 or go (If I have to distribute that somehow), and of course there's always C for the microcontrollers.

As Ben said, that with a Yubikey is gold ! I also use the Yubikey to log into my main machine with just one touch. Is really convenient, and super easy to configure on OpenBSD.
Cheers,

Python is very nice for system administration. I'm going to learn rust too - it seems like a very nice language. c++ without crap.

I should set something like this up.

I'm also trying to find ways to get around the new VERY dumb australian anti-encryption laws that are legal. So far, I've figured that using tor as well as a non-australian mirror for my debian should do fine for now.
Eventually I would also like to make a gentoo-based linux distribution that you can verify from top to bottom. Starting with Linux From Scratch (stage0) to create a stage 1 then stage 2 then stage3 then self customization.
Thoughts?

I've already been able to use python for some miscellaneous administrative tasks and it works wonderfully. I can't wait to keep learning and become really fluent in python. I'm very excited for rust as well. It really seems like a beautifully-designed language.
I should set something like this up.
Go for it! It's super easy. Small VPSes are super cheap. I use ramnode for my personal/jump-VPS, and only pay $3 USD a month. I'm not sure if they have a datacenter in australia, but I can't imagine it being too hard to find something you can use. There's always hetzner for cheap, beefy VPSes.

Go for it! Why not? If anything, it will be a huge learning experience and I'm sure it will be wholly enjoyable.

I'm making a cool OS called Exai uwu, and working on sysadmin for my uwu tilde 1000.directory :) ~ arne

I hope your OS works on a live-usb. I might try it out if it does, because I know Ubuntu 16.04 as a live-usb absolutely doesn't work well.

That's awesome! I hope it goes well for you. Keep us posted on the status of your OS. I want to try out Redox OS one of these days just because it seems like a neat project.

Currently standing in as a co-admin for the soon-to-be thunix reborn, and in doing so, brushing up on my Ansible skills.
I wrote a demo playbook a while back, and the playbook to manage some webservers I have in the cloud, but like with anything, if you don't use it often, you lose the "knack".

I hate rockstars anyways. They tend to be arrogant, without cause.

Just trying to figure out why the share settings of solid work with solid.community, but not solid.tilde.team, also thinking about a microblog application, where a user can post something, and others can comment but not edit the original post
