And, mission accomplished, way ahead of schedule. If you're running Slackware64 15.0, this has all of the files necessary to just run the fips.Slackbuild file, and will put a fips-0.5.1-x86_64-1.txz file in /tmp that you can install. You DO need to be running dnsmasq or unbound (just like on FreeBSD), and your /etc/dnsmasq.conf file does need to have your conf-dir line uncommented (conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d). Make sure that 127.0.0.1 or ::1 is your first nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf. Beyond this, edit your /etc/fips/fips.yaml file per the instructions here:

. Start and stop the daemon with /etc/rc.d/rc.fips start|stop|restart (like any other slackware service). File is here: https://blossom.ditto.pub/cc184c148aa1f83033e6929f7358c2b9ed3d77bf3e417211746cc2f31ce8a47e.gz The slackbuild DOES just grab the source right from github. This isn't the most standard thing, and some may worry about it from a security perspective. It's also trivial to change if you'd like, but is handy this way because you can very quickly edit the Slackbuild script's version variable to grab the newest version (and indeed, there's already a newer one out as of 2 days ago). I doubt anyone's grabbing this because slackers don't seem to be here on nostr, but if it's useful, glad to offer it up. If anyone's running another non-systemd linux and wants some of what I learned that isn't already spelled out here, happy to chat. Also, let nobody denigrate free models. This was 1% me and 99% Solar Pro4 running on a Hermes-Agent harness. #FIPS #Freedomtech

Trying to tackle porting FIPS to Slackware. To whoever put together the FreeBSD port, thank you for the piggy back ride. This should bring FIPS to Unix-like GNU/Linux, rather than whatever the fuck the systemd/Linux can be called.

When all the code is written by AI, does that mean there won't be any cypherpunks left? Or do we need to ask Eric Hughes to amend the manifesto?

GM Got Thoth (my Hermes-Agent) setting up Whitenoise today. Decided that even with terminal access off on IRC I think I'd be more comfortable with a more controlled environment rather than just hope an ircop doesn't just play games with nickserv and have access to my bot because they managed to get my name. Happy to report that so far this seems easier than even installing and using Whitenoise myself (though that wasn't too hard either -- just had to avoid the pitfall of using my existing npub with it).
