cygnus, in question about the Ubuntu dock size
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

I don’t know why they like big docks so much. My dock is small and I’ve never had any complaints.

It’s not about the size of the dock it’s about how you use it.

JoMomma, in Did deep sleep broke for anyone else recently or is it just me?

For everyone I think

randy, (edited ) in Is there any way to emulate aegis authenticator (fdroid) on an ubuntu based computer?

At a glance, it looks like Aegis generates standard TOTP tokens, which means there’s a lot of software that can do the same thing, so you don’t need to emulate Aegis. I use pass-otp (an extension to pass), but that’s command-line-only, and a lot to deal with if you’re not already using pass. From a quick search, it looks like Keysmith and OTPClient are decent graphical alternatives. From another quick search, OTPClient is available in Ubuntu 23.10.

Edit: Re-reading your post, your issue is that you don’t like logging in on your phone, right? But Aegis just provides the code, you should be able to use the code from your phone to log in on your computer. TOTP codes are only affected by the secret values and the current time, so the code generated on your phone can be used on any device.

Nice, lets keep the moment going. Another great year for Linux and open source.

I don’t understand the scenario here. Typically, you only need the TOTP (time-based one-time password) from your 2FA app, enter it on your computer, and you can use the computer to access your resources. The app itself is actually not even supposed to be on the same device, as an added layer of security.

It sounds like you need 2FA to run your company’s VPN (is that correct?). On your computer, you would launch the VPN, it’ll ask you for the TOTP (which you get from Aegis on your phone), and then you’re logged in and able to access company resources (on your computer).

What happened March-May?

BlanK0, in Thoughts on this?

I have been using Wayland on void for a while and have no particular issue with it. There is screen sharing on stuff like zoom that isn’t working at the moment (unless you use gnome) which is a bit annoying but not really serious enough to force a change to xorg. Also Wayland has more clean code then xorg and I do like the potential it has, specially when it comes to security.

Nothing against xorg, if you can use Wayland its better imo but otherwise xorg is fine as well.

Let’s go! It’s always great to see people wrestle control back from the corporations.

ChojinDSL, in loads of uninstallable dependencies on debian
@ChojinDSL@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Well… Right off the bat, I can see what the problem is. You have totally mixed up entries for different releases of debian in there. It’s a wonder it hasn’t completely broken your system.

Smorty,

It kinda has multiple times. I tried installing a Wayland version of gnome and that ended up nuking the Desktop multiple times. Then to fix it, I just ran this in a TTY: sudo apt remove gnome sudo apt install gnome And that fixed the desktop (even my wallpaper and shortcuts were back, wow).

And yes, I will update my sources to suit my OS.

What would a use case be for

>/usr/bin

versus

/usr/local/bin

SpaceCadet, (edited )
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

Binaries in the former are installed by the OS/package manager, binaries in the latter are installed manually by the user, for example by compiling from source and running make install

prYsm,

Great. Now I gotta refactor some scripts.

bazsy, in Help on BTRFS setup

Do I need to disable compression on my swap subvolume?

Short: No

Long: it doesn’t matter when mounting multiple subvolumes of the same btrfs partition the options from the first one (usually /) will apply to all. So even if you disable it, that will be ignored.

The old way of creating swap shows the chattr +C line which disables CoW. The same method should work for your Downloads folder since CoW is needed for snapshotting.

Illecors, in Linux Containers From Scratch in C

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing!

baseless_discourse, (edited ) in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

What distro are you running? I think you should be able to just find the app in the app store.

If not, the webside includes the download link literally in the first paragraph: mullvad.net/en/download/vpn/linux

Just download and double click the package, that should bring up your app store, and then click install you will be fine.
