  • How locked down are the Chromebooks?

    Remote VM seems overkill if you can just enable "Linux for Chromebook", which gives a sandboxed terminal at which point you can setup and install software like Blender, PrusaSlicer, etc.

    It won't be the fastest because they are thin clients, but even modern thin clients do decently for 'light' work.

  • Google's WebP

    Jump

  • There are good reasons for why both JPEG-XL and WebP exist though.

  • What do you guys think about RHEL 10 adopting RDP instead of VNC or Spice?

    Jump

  • Reading up on RDP as it's something I do not utilize, I wondered just how encumbered RDP is compared to Spice and VNC. Wonder how third-party server and clients are handling the patent-encumbered protocol.

    Do third parties implement an older standard of the RDP protocol that isn't as encumbered?

  • How to start a script after logging in AND WiFi is ready?

    Jump

  • Oneshot services are for things like scripts that do a thing and exit. Simple is for basic services that intend to run for the lifetime of the system (or for user units, the lifetime of the user's session).

  • How to start a script after logging in AND WiFi is ready?

    Jump

  • Create a systemd user unit that waits for the network-online.target.

    A script something like:

     
        
[Unit]
Description=Startup script
Requires=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot # either simple or oneshot, but sounds like oneshot
ExecStart=/home/<user>/script.sh
RemainAfterExit=yes #if oneshot, otherwise no

[install]
WantedBy=default.target

    Edit the template according to your needs and dump it into ~/.local/share/systemd/user/<unit>.service and enable it with systemctl --user enable --now <unit>

  • [SOLVED] Marvel Rivals - After the recent update, the game does not launch at all for me.

    Jump

  • Wine client error:0: version mismatch 787/856.

    Check for and kill all wine-related processes and then swap Proton versions for the game again.

    Seeing prefix breakage messages with a wine version mismatch is often because of remnants of WINE processes that didn't stop correctly. Steam prevents game launches for games that still have child processes present from previous launches.

  • I went ahead and made a few small edits to hopefully better explain things for most desktop environments if anyone else stumbles upon this thread.

  • Trouble getting RaftModding for Raft on Linux to work

    Jump

  • Scrolling through their Discord, that particular mod doesn't work on the latest version of the game as it's long out of date. You aren't likely to find another client or server that is hosting it with it actually working. Checking the mod listing page, it just claims untested on latest version.

    Unfortunately a lot of the more useful information for the RaftModding ecosystem is all gated behind Discord.

  • Trouble getting RaftModding for Raft on Linux to work

    Jump

  • I had written about this in their Discord in a thread:

    using this shim script I made, do the following:

    1. Install Raft with Proton 9.0-# prefix
    2. Place the shim file into the game directory
    3. Mark the shim as executable
    4. Set Steam launch options to: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp.dll=n,b" ./shim %command%
    5. Launch Raft once
    6. Place RMLLauncher.exe into Raft game directory
    7. Look for a plaintext target file that should be created in the raft directory
    8. Copy the location of the RMLLauncher.exe (exact folder and filename) (right click > Copy Location in KDE / Steam Deck desktop mode)
    9. Paste this location into the target file and save
    10. Launch Raft
    11. Go through RMLLauncher first-time steps
    12. Press Play
    13. Stop the game and add mods into Raft mods folder
    14. Launch the game and load the mods in-game
    15. Play Raft modded through Proton

    (Instructions adapted from both mine and Discord user YumiChi's)

    This method doesn't require custom installations, messing with bottles, nor wine runtimes other than Proton.

  • CrowdSec vs Fail2Ban - What to use?

    Jump

  • If you're running an email server for more than a handful of persistent users, I'd probably agree. However, there are self-host solutions that do a decent job of being 'all-in-one' (MailU, Mailcow, Docker-Mailserver) that can help perform a lot of input filtering.

    If your small org just needs automation emails (summaries, password resets), it's definitely feasible to do actually, as long as you have port 25 available in addition to 465, 587 and you can assign PTR records on reverse DNS. Optionally you should use a common TLD for your domain as it will be less likely to be flagged via SpamAssassin. MXToolbox and Mail-Tester together offer free services to help test the reliability of your email functionality.

  • CrowdSec vs Fail2Ban - What to use?

    Jump

  • I'm currently going through a similar situation at the moment (OPNSense firewall, Traefik reverse proxy). For my solution, I'm going to be trial running the Crowdsec bouncer as a Traefik middleware, but that shouldn't discourage you from using Fail2Ban.

    Fail2Ban: you set policies (or use presets) to tempban IPs that match certain heuristic or basic checks.

    Crowdsec Bouncer: does fail2ban checks if allowed. Sends anonymous bad behavior reports to their servers and will also ban/captcha check IPs that are found in the aggregate list of current bad actors. Claims to be able to perform more advanced behavior checks and blacklists locally.

    If you can help it, I don't necessarily recommend having OPNSense apply the firewall rules via API access from your server. It is technically a vulnerability vector unless you can only allow for creating a certain subset of deny rules. The solution you choose probably shouldn't be allowed to create allow rules on WAN for instance. In most cases, let the reverse proxy perform the traffic filtering if possible.

  • It doesn't.

  • World of Goo 2 is out now on Steam and GOG - a great pick for puzzle game fans

    Jump

  • The game was under exclusivity contract for Epic Games, but they were still allowed to sell copies of the game on their own website. Now that the contract is up, the game can be sold on Steam. Granting players who bought the game from the website free Steam keys is a nice touch.

  • I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this?

    Jump

  • For desktop/workstation users: the simple answer is just use the flatpak from Flathub or from some other source if you need a user package that doesn't align to the ethos of your chosen distro. In most cases desktop Linux users have gone beyond self-packaging for specific library versions and just use a separate set of common libraries to power application needs beyond the out of box experience of any given distro. It's part of why immutable distros are starting to take off and make more sense for desktop/workstation use-cases.

    For servers, it's in the nature to become part of the technical debt you are expected to maintain, and isn't unique among RHEL, OpenSUSE Leap, Debian, Ubuntu, or any other flavor of distro being utilized.

  • I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this?

    Jump

  • If you're not on RHEL-likes manually installing piles of out-of-tree software or randomly dumping RPMs into your system blindly hoping that things will "just work", all is good on most rpm-based distros (RHEL, Fedora, AlmaLinux, OpenSUSE Leap, etc.). Updates don't have issues and system upgrades (where possible) have had minimal problems within the past few years on all of my systems.

  • Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go)

    Jump

  • Ocis/OpenCloud can integrate with Collabora, OnlyOffice but don't currently have things like CalDAV, CardDAV, E2EE, Forms, Kanban boards, or other extensible features installable as plugins in Nextcloud.

    If you desire a snappy and responsive cloud storage experience and don't particularly need those things integrated into your cloud storage service, then Ocis or OpenCloud might be something to look into.

  • Thank you AI, very cool

    Jump

  • Given the Linux initramfs targets a block device as a file that then gets mounted as the persistent root filesystem, I don't think it would really be possible to unmount / and replace the location with a file. Root isn't represented as a file or directory in any filesystem structure and is a construct of many Unix and Unix-like kernels.

  • This is the same for Intel variant Framework boards.

  • How private is the Pebble?

    Jump

  • As I understand it, most of the Pebble's OS is currently Open Source. Traditionally, you could download updates and applets, watch faces for your Pebble through it's app, as well has have many phone integrations. Most of the phone integrations can now be done through GadgetBridge and applets downloaded from Rebble.

    Given the minimal need for always-online or really much of a internet connection at all beyond what is needed for third-party applets (weather watch faces, etc.), the older Pebble smart watches are able to be made about as private as one could reasonably expect from a Bluetooth wearable.

    The two upcoming remakes appear to be basing the mobile app and applet repo upon the Rebble community's work, if not outright using it as the source. If the watches gain GadgetBridge support and/or the companion app is fully open source, I imagine these will be as worthy as the older watches.
