Recently bought a YubiKey 5 to use with my Linux desktop

Now I can automatically decrypt the filesystem just by plugging in the key during boot, and login / sudo just by tapping the button! No more typing passwords, but everything is still encrypted and secure.

A little disappointed that Intel Macs can’t use it with FileVault during boot, but the Mac already has a fingerprint reader so I wasn’t planning to use the YubiKey with it anyway.

Home Assistant OS on KVM

Migrated my #HomeAssistant server to the new Home Assistant OS ARM64 image running in #Linux KVM on my #RaspberryPi 4.

I was previously using a docker installation on #Ubuntu that is no longer officially supported, and various things stopped working properly recently.

Haven’t noticed any performance difference between docker and the virtual machine, and now it’s officially supported and much easier to maintain!
