I'v been doing the testing on device mapper, once there are some regression it's very hard to debug without block-layer knowledge.
I'm very interest on how the kernel handle the bio/request/request queue/elevator system.I think this is good chance to read and learn .

Minion, the job queue of the Mojolicious web framework, currently has to be administrated with command line tools. I want to build an Admin UI that will make the most common maintenance tasks, such as restarting a large number of failed jobs, a lot more comfortable.

Hackweek 17

free hugs for hackweek

While I despise Trello, I quite like the idea of using a Kanban board to organise my individual work and much of my personal projects So if I have time during Hackweek I plan on looking at https://wekan.github.io/ also

Results: * https://ikapelyukhin.github.io/

need to learn more about containers

motivation

I like light weight presentation frameworks based on plain text files. There are quite some frameworks using the browser for presenting but many require a full blown web server. remark seems to be about the lightest I could find. I could make actual use of it when there would be openSUSE(/SUSE) branding.

moin, i am looking for interesting articles that describe how to refactor/maintain golang code. At moment i found this.

Introduction

TensorFlow™ is an open-source software library for Machine Intelligence written on Python. It was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google's Machine Intelligence research organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well. (https://www.tensorflow.org/)

I will deploy a k8s clusters on three pine64 A+ boards, all boards are installed opensuse tumbleweed, and one as k8s-master two as k8s-minions. The whole cluster will use TLS and BRAC security mechanism.

Setup an iscsi server on minnowboard/espressobin/odroid c2 based on opensuse tumbleweed, use two Nics to support multipath Setup an iscsi initiator on odroid c2 and dm

The the LUKS UUID in /etc/crypttab. In general the file system UUID is already used in /etc/fstab. So using the LUKS UUID in /etc/crypttab is a small step towards consistency and should make the system more robust (e.g. avoid bugs like bsc #1063249).

The ZSTD is a new compression method, potential replacement for existing methods. The support has been added to linux 4.14, but the bootloader support is missing. Goals:

Build Stages

Travis-ci.org currently has nice beta features that I've wanted to try for a [long while(#https://travis-ci.org/foursixnine/openQA/builds/280652163)...

To be able to offer real Tumbleweed and a tested Leap for a Raspberry Pi3 the images for it need to be tested with openQA. Since

During my trip to and from SUSECon 2017 I had been working on a pinctrl driver for Actions Semi S500, based on a previous pinctrl driver of mine for Realtek RTD1295. Goal of this project is to complete the driver with pin definitions and muxes.

In os-autoinst and installation/bootloader_svirt.pm we currently we support only one-disk scenarios like SLES installation to disk and deployment from a disk in JeOS & CaaSP scenarios. To support RAID tests we need support of adding multiple disks to VMs. Targeting Xen and Hyper-V.

Try various container operating systems & kubernetes distributions and compare them to SUSE MicroOS and CaaSP, respectively.

In lieu of official hosting which was requested a year ago, go ahead and refactor approach to work on AWS S3. The previous approaches used either soft or hard links to avoid duplicating files that remain unchanged between snapshots, but S3 is not a file-system and does not support links. The closest comparable concept are object level redirects, but managing and creating those would be combersome, slow, and result in a higher bill. To avoid that an alternative that does not require object level redirects to simulate links, but that does not requiring duplicating files would be preferable. In addition the tool built to provide such snapshots on S3 should be easily deployable and setup to run automatically on AWS.

Planning to do some deep learning course sessions e.g. fastai , google ML crash course etc. Also try to understand common tools (tensorflow, jupyter notebook, numpy, pandas, pytorch) and practices e.g. Convoluation neutral nets, SGD used to solve learning problems. Aim is to get ready for kaggle competition (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions) eventually to test out learning and develop intuition around categories of learning problems.

About 3 years ago I wrote some Python and Kivy code for my Samsung Galaxy S4 in QPython. Unfortunately, QPython updated and broke its kivy compatibility. I've been waiting for them to fix it, but mostly have given up. So instead, just investigate how to turn the kivy code into an .apk for installation on an Android device! There are directions for this on the kivy website.

What is kompose? kompose is a tool to help users who are familiar with docker-compose move to Kubernetes. kompose takes a Docker Compose file and translates it into Kubernetes resources.

Explore the GraphQl (v4) GitHub Api and do a small project in (Elixir would be the choice)

Starting from prometheus ( and grafana if needed), learn how to monitor kubernetes and docker and do some valid alert/graph etc. https://docs.docker.com/config/thirdparty/prometheus/

Description

Experiment with and implement a server (openSUSE Kubic, SUSE CaaSP) with connected thin clients (Raspberry Pi) that executes GUI applications from docker containers running on the server.

Mental poker is a principle and also specific protocol to play card games without a single trusted party. This includes shuffling cards, enforcing card visibility and commitment schemes. Imagine playing rock-paper-scissors via phone only. libTMCG is an implementation of the protocol and SecureSkat is an application of this protocol/library to the popular German card game Skat.

The usual baby-phones and phone based surveillance solutions do not fit my needs: - We live in townhouse with reinforced concrete walls (the signal from the babyphone is not strong enough)

2018

new hack

motivation

Lots of crucial steps in the SUSE/openSUSE product build workflow are not known or not even accessible by many people but hidden as "custom scripts" on "some machine" in the worst cases. Nowadays infrastructure and build pipelines should be written as code, e.g. in git repos, with UI frontends to show the always current state of what is going on, what needs to be done to release products, where are problems. The least we can do is learn a bit more in this direction.

Currently helpers for maintenance of SLE/openSUSE such as osc omg exist just as git repo, lets have them as packages.

The openSUSE.org official infrastructure is getting bigger and complicateder, so #microservices and #serverless FTW! :smiley: :thumbsup: :icecream:

Glowing Nixie Clock * A Nixie tube (English: /ˈnɪk.siː/ NIK-see), or cold cathode display, is an electronic device for displaying numerals or other information using glow discharge.

All our packages have a *.changes file and ideally that file would mention relevant changes from upstream, i.e. during version updates. Currently, we find that information manually when packaging Haskell software. This is unsatisfactory because of the sheer size of the package set and the massive number of updates we receive from Hackage. The packaging itself is completely automatic, but editing the *.changes files is not and this issue prevents us from shipping more packages in Tumbleweed and elsewhere. Now, during this Hackweek I'd like to write code that given two Haskell package versions old and new can determine the upstream changelog entries between those two and create a pleasantly formatted entry for the *.changes file that won't need any manual editing to pass the review team. Then I'd like to integrate this into cabal2obs, or maybe even cabal2spec.

In day to day job I often wait for openQA job to change a state. I plan to create chrome plugin which would allow to watch for some certain job and will send you notification when run is end.

I need to get a basic understanding about MD software RAID setup only via command line tools to be able to understand,

Explore the possibility to have a self sufficient frontend server running locally. This server would compile all the frontend code and act as a proxy/middleware pointing either for a dev ref-server or to a local SUMA instance. This way would be possible to do modifications in frontend even without having a SUMA server running locally. http://imagebin.suse.de/2542/img

Some ideas from the list: Small ones:

What is it about? I write lots of notes, about almost everything. Writing is a very important part of my work and of my organization in general.

git-deps and hatop deserve some more native packaging love. let's improve this and make a good package for multiple distros when possible.

SSO for kanku

As we use kanku for testing/debugging our OBS Appliance images.

I want to connect to matrix.org via weechat in Leap 15.0. 1. I need the matrix script

I want to improve myself in Perl & Mojolicious and I want to have a nice open-source self-hosted message board / forum written in Perl. Let's combined it into one ultimate goal. I would like to have:

Background

Candidates

For testing some of the upstream Linux drivers we maintain it is necessary to emulate the hardware as we're getting bug reports for the upstream drivers but have no chance to test fixes. Once the upstream drivers can be emulated we could focus on emulating hardware where only downstream drivers do exist and then write new drivers to be upstreamed.

Every time we went to UEFI Plugfest, one of the frequently asked questions is how to setup a PXE/HTTPBoot server. Besides, we also have to setup and test the server before the event. Although we already have the document(*), it may be easier to deploy with a container image. My goal is to learn how to package a container image in SLE/openSUSE and create a flexible image for the fast deployment of PXE/HTTPBoot server.

I want to dive deeper into React using its Material-UI components to prototype a web interface for SUSE's new Repository Mirroring Tool (RMT). Updates:

Leap 15 and TW supports Transactional Server system role but some additional work is needed to have a transactional desktop system role. The purpose of this hackweek is to document what need to be fixed and try to fix it.

We provide tftp server and RPMs containing the installer to run from tftp. Disadvantage is, that the user needs to setup a tftp boot system first. Why not putting everything in a container, so that the admin only need to run the container and can then choose on the to be installed machine, what he wants install? And following this, put the container in a kubernetes cluster like SUSE CaaS Platform.
