It shouldn’t be because you’re not actually the owner of the IP address. If any user could get a cert, they could impersonate any other.
They’re ‘shortlived’ 7 day certs, verified using a HTTP challenge. It doesn’t matter who owns the IP, it’s just a matter of who holds the IP.
Not really, but once you’ve patched the driver, run dkms status and dkms build <id from status> (e.g. dkms build nvidia/580.76.05) to rebuild the driver for your current kernel.
When you get it working, it’ll be a good idea to write a little guide here for other people to follow.
Oh no worries!
Also hdparam/nvme-cli will let the drive erase itself, and should be faster than operating through a computer. Like it can take seconds on some SSDs since it wipes the chips in parallel, and some drives are self encrypting, so it just deletes the key, leaving the scrambled data. But those usually won’t work on USB drives.
The official driver already uses DKMS (at least in the newer drivers), so you should be able to patch the code in /usr/src/nvidia-470* and have it apply automatically every kernel update.
If it’s an external SSD, I like to format my drives as f2fs, which is a filesystem designed for flash memory, so it might be a bit faster and last longer than ext4. But that’s just personal preference and ext4 should always work fine.
one parallel port (DB25)
You might even be able to use the parallel port as basic GPIO, especially if it’s on the I/O bus and not some sort of PCI adapter.
Don’t Python scripts need
pythonat the beginning of the command that summons them?
Not if the script has a python shebang (e.g. !/usr/bin/env python3), then it will run like any other script.
