efivars partition got full!! How to clean thing?? Firmware update failed.

efivarfs 148K 144K 0 100% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

Oh, I have read the wiki : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Efivarfs and the kernel docs : https://docs.kernel.org/6.1/filesystems/efivarfs.html and this GITHUB post too : https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker/issues/90

But not sure how to clean or decreased the store. And it seems DBX update is failing for lack of space.

And the damn thing has showellen considerably ....irks ...

While sipping my chilled 🍹 and thinking how much cruft has accumulated due to my negligence and time ...phew #linuxadmin #tool #vim #opensource #editor

Wondering if there is too much convolution?? Should I build it in a more slim or streamlined way?? 🤔 #linuxadmin #tool #vim #opensource

True... true...that also needs a chunk of your lifetime ....worth it ...I believe ... commenting on your code like this makes you superior to others. Period. #linuxadmin #programming #assembly #opensource https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HLXUgEEaIAAyPFv?format=jpg&name=medium

Few of the notable Kernel improvements will be landing/visible in next release i.e., 7.2

+- strscpy() when the destination must be NUL-terminated.

+- strscpy_pad() when the destination must be NUL-terminated and

+ zero-padded (e.g., structs crossing privilege boundaries).

+- memtostr() for NUL-terminated destinations from non-NUL-terminated

+ fixed-width sources (with the `__nonstring` attribute on the source).

+- memtostr_pad() for the same, but with zero-padding.

+- strtomem() for non-NUL-terminated fixed-width destinations, with

+ the `__nonstring` attribute on the destination.

+- strtomem_pad() for non-NUL-terminated destinations that also need

+ zero-padding.

+- memcpy_and_pad() for bounded copies from potentially unterminated

+ sources where the destination size is a runtime value.

Messing around .....you see! Idle brain wasting time doing something remotely useful to the wider public ... #linuxadmin #opensource #tool #emacs #shell #bash #gnu #operatingsystem #linux

Well, some people like complexity and that was different era with very limited resources. #linuxadmin #tool #emacs #gnu #opensource
