  • Accessing NAS when not on LAN

    Jump

  • Yes it’s easy, install WireGuard in a container, port forward to it and copy the profile to your other devices.

    When you connect to the WireGuard network on the second device, you’ll have access to your internal network and hence your nas.

    I also use a reverse proxy so I can remember computer names rather than ip.

  • Fish rewrite-it-in Rust progress: 100%

    Jump

  • PL can have a large impact on features, bugs, bug reports, troubleshooting, performance and documentation. Particularly when dev resources are limited.

    It’s hard to see how this opinion holds any water.

    Rust is a great choice for a shell built as an interactive shell that doesn’t have to be core to the OS. Over C++ this also makes development more accessible to young programmers.

  • Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

    Jump

  • It’s pretty easy, just Install snapper and cron. Endeavour also supports zfs out of the box which can be better for certain use cases.

    Edit: typo

  • Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

    Jump

  • I absolutely love void. Second to that I would say endeavour, it’s just arch with zfs, a wm and an installer.

    If you’re interested in learning more try , I use oddlama’s installer. With binary packages, distrobox and flatpak, the small amount of compile time is a much smaller issue.

    Alternatively, if you’re thinking about Fedora maybe play with Silverblue, it forces you to learn a bit of containerisation which is handy

  • Looking to make the switch

    Jump

  • Once you get comfortable arch is a good choice too.

    It’s not that complex and it’s a good way to learn.

    Then of course is Gentoo which is a bit more complex.

  • Looking to make the switch

    Jump

  • Avoid Flatpaks for some things, eg eMacs, vscode etc

    Look into distrobox

  • Looking to make the switch

    Jump

  • This is perfectly fixable, but take the win and leave well enough alone imo.

    If you’re on ext4, you could also simply refind.

  • Fennec vs firefox

    Jump

  • Of course, imagine e.g. games. Setting the refresh rate can be important for a program to work correctly and also performance. In the case of Mull that’s a part of the Rest Finger Printing (RFP) stuff they rolled out around 102.

  • Linux in the corporate space

    Jump

  • It’s much the same where I come from.

    The high quality institutions have Linux in their labs (either a separate lab or dual boot) and a server with say access for training ML models etc.

    The dodgy ones have only Windows with no software and require students to buy a second laptop and install Linux. If they don’t the students fail. Those tests were done in handwriting but they are still an accredited university :(

  • European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying

    Jump

  • Am I mistaken in believing it is an already a browser option?

    Off the top of my head Qutebrowser and Falkon both support not-saving 3rd party cookies.

  • Fennec vs firefox

    Jump

  • Although, Mull is only 60hz. If you do a lot of reading on your phone this can be frustrating.

    I often install both.

  • Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

    Jump

  • I have no clue how dangerous running Firefox as root is, but it begs the question…why would you do that?

    Create a user account for managing things and create a separate user for each service and/or containers.

    For managing things use tmux with ssh, if you want to manage files etc. just use ranger/lf/mc. One can also mount the file system with sshfs.

  • Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

    Jump

  • Yeah there’s a bit of scope to review what op is doing here.

    Why is there even a DE on a server if it’s headless. If it’s not headless why not write up some Dockerfiles and manage it from a non-root account?

    Are the services running as root?

    Also, is it being accessed via wireguard/ovpn? It would be unwise to run a server as root with an open port.

  • 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Oh no, I was just pointing it out for others. I think using the title post is perfectly reasonable.

    Thank you for posting, I found it interesting.

  • 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • It’s worth noting that OP simply used the article title.

    The article title is a little biased, individuals must take greater personal responsibility.

  • 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • users knowingly opted into a feature that had a clear privacy risk.

    Strong passwords often aren't at issue, password re-use is. If un-{salted, hashed} passwords were compromised in a previous breach, then it doesn’t matter how strong those passwords are.

    Every user who was compromised:

    1. Put their DNA profile online
    2. Opted to share their information in some way

    A further subset of users failed to use a unique and strong password.

    A 2FA token (think Matrix) might have helped here, other than that, individuals need to take a greater responsibility for personal privacy. This isn’t an essential service like water, banking, electricity etc. This is a place to upload your DNA profile…

  • New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

  • The Deb and ppa will have the same content, the ppa is just automatic, assuming the owner maintains it.
