Ivan the Terrible died from a stroke while he was playing chess with Bogdan Belsky on 28 March [O.S. 18 March] 1584. Upon Ivan's death, the Russian throne was left to his middle son, Feodor, a weak-minded figure. Feodor died childless in 1598, which ushered in the Time of Troubles.

Debian ZFS Root Rice

This is a document outlining my modifications to the parent doc directly from ZFSbootmenu for installing a Debian Bookworm on ZFS root partition found. The modifications I have made are choosing to boot first from a USB drive, and setting up some symlink magic to lay the groundwork for eventually using the USB to also decrypt the root partition. Once I have that working I will update this document.

Desktop Rice

There was once time where I would pour endlessly over dot files in r/unixporn, and I'm still that person deep down, but as things change and compton is replaced with picom so now you have to learn that or weyland is replacing xorg and so on.

PAM_USB Login

Ill touch on `pamusb` configuration here real quick, cause this one is cool AF. I love the idea of having a little token/key that you authenticate with. The desired end goal of ALL of these articles uses such a device not just to auth the user but to also decrypt the root partition. However this article just outlines userauth.

Coming Soon: Custom Grub Theme

Heres a GRUB theme im working on and it's inspiration. It's scaled perfectly to vmware and virtualbox but I want to make it dynamic to other screens somehow. Got the idea watching the VHS rips of Serial Experiments Lain on the internet archive.
