Alternative to docker-tcp-switchboard, but for tcp and virtual machines? (github.com)
docker-tcp-switchboard is pretty good, but it has two problems for me:...
Systemd timer unit
I try to create a timer unit for weekly and daily backups. For example with the weekly unit, it should be executed once in a week, some minutes after login. If the unit was successful, it should shutdown and not start again until the next week. If a start of this unit was missing, it should be start again some minutes after the...
ADWSteamGTK makes steam look more inline with GTK (flathub.org)
I was watching InfinitelyGalactic recent video on Linux mint and he highlighted this program. Works really well I’ve always found steam to be a bit unruly within my desktop especially as I run the forge gnome extension, which further exacerbates the weird behaviours. Supports most of the big colour schemes so finding something...

Using an iPad as a second monitor (wired)
I’m trying to connect a university ipad (air, usb 3 type c, not tb or lightning) to my laptop (Framework laptop, intel 12th gen) running Fedora workstation 39. On Windows, I used a nifty app called Duet Display. I just used a usb-c cable to plug the ipad into the laptop, launched the app on both devices, and windows would see...
Question about ram usage in Unraid
I am about to setup Unraid for the first time, have got the USB and Lisence ready, but watching a bunch of videoes before I dip my feet in. I read and heard that Unraid runs only on the ram, which brings me to the question: My server only has 16GB of ram, whilst my desktop has 48GB of ram, so should I transfer some of my...
PSA: GNOME Shell replace from another TTY
If your GNOME Shell went FUBAR and you can’t reach a terminal from it to issue gnome-shell --replace(apparently this is broken since 3.30), and Alt+F2 doesn’t work, you can use the following in another TTY or via SSH:...
How exactly "secure" is a container with all capabilities dropped, distroless, with a custom rootfs directory, a static, single binary with chmod set at 100 and file ownership pointed to non-root u...
ser*, and said non-root user being “nonexistant” (i.e set via ENV)? Can such container -STILL- be exploited/breached through malicious means? Forgot to mention that its a DOCKER container @ title, but there you have it. Just curious....

Prevent display turning off when playing media
It’s possible to inhibit the display turn off in kde using ``kde-inhibit --power --screenSaver ``` However, I want to inhibit the display turning off only when playing media (either by spotify or a browser), and let it sleep as usual when not playing media....

Use cases over 'distro' discussions (lemmy.ml)
I read the linked post and it got me thinking of a lot of the posts I typically see around Linux. Most of them that are seeking support are very distro focussed; what is the best distro for this, what distro should I choose, etc....
Another post for not using systemd
Before anything else, I would like to say that I admit systemd has brought great change to GNU/Linux. sysvinit wasn’t the best, and custom scripts for every distro is a pain I’d rather not have....
