As there is no progress around MIrrorPinky since 5 years now, let's say the project is dead and look for something different, which allows Mirror administrators to edit the settings of their own mirrors.

I have noticed that explaining HA cluster concepts to non technical people is not easy (my parents for example hehe). In order to improve that I would like to create a more visual project using raspberry pi-s.

Hackweek 21?

I'll spend half of hackweek preparing for the CISSP certification, in the other half I want to learn Ghidra (https://ghidra-sre.org/) and solve some reverse engineering quests with it

It's been a little while since I last needed to do some binary reverse engineering, so I want to up my game.

I just recently started a new project which is meant to be a wrapper for OBS's API. The library is written in Ruby.

In the past, some customers ever complained that OCFS2 file system performance went down when listing a big directory (e.g. include 400k files). According to my preliminary investigation, this performance problem is related to file system block allocation algorithm. Then, I want to look at the current mainstream file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS, etc) block allocation algorithms in this hack week, compare and analysis these algorithms advantages/disadvantages.

Pi Security

A common challenge for OpenStack and K8S deployments is debugging the network when things go awry. The aim of DPHAT is to provide operators of cloud infrastructure with tooling that can analyze the environment and supply the following:

The primary arcade machine emulator is MAME, and it has a very specific format for romset compression. I have previously started a project call pyros that allows the creation and update of MAME romsets. The project consists of the following tools:

The salt-toaster (https://github.com/openSUSE/salt-toaster) is a tool created and developed by SUSE employees that we've been using for testing Salt since few years ago.

At SUSE we've implemented a module on Salt called ansiblegate which allows to run and manage your Ansible clusters using Salt.

Currently, way we distribute ssh keys within QAM on our testing infrustructure is a bit cumbersome - maybe we should try to (ab)use existing salt used by our internal infra team.

Currently, As QA, we design matrix for the test cases, then use matrix to generate test cases' name, then according the test cases' name to add related settings, then add those cases' name and settings to the openQA test suite. I hope, we can design matrix first, then other steps will be generated by automatically.

Metal³ is the idea to support a declarative bare metal cluster management for Kubernates by employing a simplified stand alone version of Ironic.

A filter to scramble writing actions to a stream randomly into multiple sequential actions, aiming to provide some protection against deep packet inspection, implemented in the form of an OpenSSL filter BIO.

INSTRUCTION: A remote reminder connected this server with WIFI module(Maybe not just a reminder ).

Since my mailbox has migrated to office365 mailbox a couple of weeks ago, I tried to optimize my tool chain to sync my mail and calendar and integrate to the gnome-shell (calendar, notification). So far I am comfortable with such a set and gonna use 2-3 hours in hackweek to summarize the practice of combining the following tools in written format:

It ain't rocket science, it ain't thrilling, it's just useful.

The idea is simple - I want to learn Python :) My previous knowledge about Python is small. Only few tutorials and some initial readings of below mentioned books to get an overview.
