🚀 Introducing #BashLab: A Portable Fast Lab for BashCore! 🖥️🔧

I just set up a lightning-fast portable lab running Debian XFCE on a USB 3.0 drive, fully optimized for BashCore development & testing. This setup lets me:

✅ Boot anywhere with persistence 🏃‍♂️
✅ Work faster than my old HDD 🚀
✅ Keep everything isolated & portable 🔒

Perfect for testing, experimenting, and refining BashCore without touching my main system!

The next #thinkpad on my #workbench is an #E450 – I grabbed this from #ewaste to provide a family member a better laptop. It has a #i5-5200U at 2.2Ghz, and a max 16GB of #DDR3L #RAM so it can/should run #Win11, #linux, or #BSD with ease. The IO is ok, with multiple #USB3 ports, #HDMI, #ethernet and a memory card reader. This is a decent form factor, weight, and would make a decent laptop for someone. Though no docking station capabilities, they removed the port underneath.

There is a big BUT with this laptop though: it keeps freezing, and the video is glitching. Which may be why it went to ewaste…

I upgraded the DDR3L RAM to 16GB, and wiped the 500GB SSD that came with it.
Starting installing #Win11, and I let it install and reboot so I could refill my tea – to come back and the laptop was frozen with a black screen.
I rebooted, and it froze on the initial Win11 change password screen.
I rebooted again, went into the #Lenovo #BIOS #diagnostic tool, and started the full tests. As the test were running, I touched the nub and the video started glitching. Letting the test continue, the laptop froze while testing.

So, is this beyond time & effort to get working – or pull the spare parts and move on from?

The next #thinkpad on my #workbench is a #W510 – it has an #eSATA port as well as multiple #USB3 ports, #expresscard, #displayport, #smartcard, memory card reader, #DVD/#CDRW, with a max 16GM of #DDR3 #RAM so it can run #Win11 (if you are careful) or #linux with ease. This will be a good replacement for my workbench laptop for testing and #wiping #HardDrives and #SSDs

But: the processor is only an i7-Q270 1.6 Ghz
This will be a dog with #Windoz

So I am researching which & where to get a #CPU upgrade.
According to #thinkwiki thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W5 Some models came with an Intel Quad Core Extreme Processor i7-920XM (2.0GHz 1333MHz 8MB L3).

But wowzas the couple I found were expensive as all hell.

Any thoughts on
a) where to find one of these #CPUs at a reasonable cost; possibly locally in the SF bay area?
b) Is/are there other #CPUs that would work in the W510 motherboard that would provide more bang for the buck?

TIA!

Next steps int selfhosting: getting needed hardware

I had a few 2nd-hand shops saved-searches in place for RAM modules, finally happened to order the 8+8GB RAM modules for #dell #wyse5070 for cheap price

#nvme to #usb3 adapters have been ordered too for the #raidz1 setup I intend to create (disks still not bought, tho)

And getting quite convinced for #freebsd on #zfs and #bastillebsd for running the services

First time in the BSD world, I am coming! :D

After DFIR, Host Protection, WebPKI and Crypto sessions, let's discover our 2 #lowlevel and #reverse sessions 😍🛠️

The #lowlevel session will:
- dive into #USB3 hacking with open source HydraDancer by Thiébaud Fuchs from @quarkslab
- explore affordable EMFI attacks against modern IoT chips by @unixb0y from @seemoo at #TUDarmstadt

And the #reverse session will allow us to discover:
- #revng next gen decompiler by its co-creator Alessandro Di Federico aka alerenvg from rev.ng labs
- Prism a light BEAM disassembler by @virtualabs from @quarkslab

Attractive? For sure!

Aaaand here's the final product 🥁 :

Dummifier v1.0: 🎉

The very first USB converter thingy that helps you when your modern USB-C cables don't work for your device to charge and data.

Born out of rage after burning yet another device of mine, but it's designed out of love😆

This is my very first @kicad project, so please don't go hard on me 😊

Here's the project, hosted on GitHub:

Any #USB experts here?

I have 4 #USB3 hard drives and I want to turn them into a poor man's RAID.

They are USB 3.0, so 5 Gbit/s.
I want to connect them to a Futro S720, which has 2 ports rated as USB 3.1 Gen 1, which is the same, also 5 Gbit/s.

So with 4 HDDs at 5 Gbit/s and only 2 ports, there is no way I could operate them at full speed, correct?

To get the best possible performance (not maximum) out of it, I would need 2 hubs with at least 10 Gbit/s, correct?

Btrfs rocks.
I've made a RAID-0 type filesystem on two SanDisk USB 3.0 pendrives. And tested them with f3 (github.com/AltraMayor/f3) - average speeds: about 30 MB/s write and 300 MB/s read! That could be a nice scratch disk, and much , much cheaper than an SSD drive.
What do you think?

#vava #hub #usb3 Un multi ports bien utile pour les devices qui n'ont qu'un connecteur de type C. C'est le cas du MacBookAir qui dispose avec VAVA de 3 entrées USB 3.0 , lecteurs de cartes micro et SD + le hdmi et l'RJ45 ! Compatible aussi avec le chromeBook ;-)
