Illecors,

It does, but apt is the only package manager on Debian.

Illecors,

I’ve only got a few years on Gentoo - how has your journey been? You must’ve started with stage 1!

Illecors,

While debian is the least offensive, I did explicitly say world. Add your buntus, mints, whathaveyou into the mix and shit hits the fan very quickly. Yes, real world runs that bollocks in prod. No, I do not agree with it.

Illecors,

No, it was the “don’t sue us and we’ll testify in your favour while you’re suing our competition”.

Illecors, (edited )

Most of them.

  • Debian world - apt sucks. For something with a sole purpose of resolving a dependency tree, it’s surprisingly bad at that.
  • Redhat world - everything is soooo old. I can see why business people like it, buy I rarely, if ever, agree with business people.
  • Opensuse world - I’ve only tried it once, probably 15 years ago. Didn’t really know my way around computers all that much at the time, but it didn’t click and I’ve left it. Later on I found out about their selling out to Microsoft and never bothered touching it again.
  • Arch - it was my daily for a year or two. Big fan. It still runs my email. At some point the size of packages started to annoy me, though. Still has the best wiki. I’ve never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with.

I’ve got the Gentoo bug now. For the first time I genuinely feel ~/. A lean, mean system of machines :)

Illecors,

There is no installer as such. You copy an archive, extract it and rebuild @world. Anything beyond that is up to you. I’m sticking to openrc - haven’t had any issues since libxcrypt news item. Can’t even recall what it was.

Illecors,

Whoosh.

Illecors,

I can show/help you how to self host for about $6/month + $10-15/year, if you’re interested. Could be cheaper if you’re willing to bet on a less reliable cloud provider.

Illecors, (edited )

Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don’t do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise :::: spoiler ain’t nobody got time for that :( https://i.imgflip.com/1f0umb.jpg

Illecors,

This meme is pushing it because, well, meme. And that’s all fine.

As a non-native atheist speaker, though, I have to say “happy holidays” just doesn’t roll off the tongue the way “merry christmas” does.

It’s not a big deal at all, but I do find it annoying at the minimal level.

Illecors, (edited )

Do yourself a favour and don’t host it, yet. Lemmy is not quality software. You have 3 options here:

  • pay someone to take care of it for you
  • learn more about computer management and computers in general, first; then host it
  • ignore the first two options, which will inevitably lead to your instance crashing and burning

Best of luck!

Illecors,

I get the same issue all the time lately. Search, click link, go back - clicked link gone, different results shown.

Illecors,

That’s what I do on the desktop, but on mobile there’s no quick way to open a new tab.

Illecors,

While this is not a bad shout, I hate that this rearranging logic has made it to production in the first place. Ddg should really know better.

Broke a partition. Is there any way of saving it?

While I was switching distros, I accidentally broke a partition. I’m almost certain that all the data is there, but it doesn’t have a filesystem (I used ext4). Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...

Illecors,

You can try fdisk.

If the partition table is there - create a new partition at the exact same location, of the exact same size.

If the partition table is not there - create *the exact same type (mbr vs gpt) partition table, then do the first if.

Fdisk should tell you that it found a filesystem signature. Do not wipe it.

Illecors,

What kind of privacy are you after?

How to make sure transmission is using my vpn?

I have transmission running on my server in a docker container that is supposed to go through gluetun. If I run test with ipleak and other torrent ip testers it shows my vpn’s ip address. However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all...

Illecors,

Packet sniffing.

Illecors,

I don’t like what you’re trying to do, but I think gnome-keyring would do this for you. Seahorse is the gui for it

Illecors,

Yes, it can be done. Not to the point of deleting your key (that makes no sense - you need the key), but ssh-agent is what you want. Add it to your shell config and it will only ask to be unlocked once per however often you define.

I have this function defined and called:


<span style="color:#323232;">function ssh-agent-setup() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    # SSH agent
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    pid_file="$HOME/.ssh/ssh-agent.pid"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$HOME/.ssh/ssh-agent.sock"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if [ -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      # no PID exported, try to get it from pidfile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      SSH_AGENT_PID=$(cat "$pid_file")
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    fi
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if ! kill -0 "$SSH_AGENT_PID" &> /dev/null
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      # the agent is not running, start it
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      rm "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" &> /dev/null
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      >&2 echo "Starting SSH agent, since it's not running; this can take a moment"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      eval "$(ssh-agent -s -a "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK")"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      echo "$SSH_AGENT_PID" > "$pid_file"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      >&2 echo "Started ssh-agent with '$SSH_AUTH_SOCK'"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    fi
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    export SSH_AGENT_PID
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ssh-agent-setup
</span>

This way it stores the unlocked key in memory until the end of the session.

Illecors,

If you don’t mind sanitising PII and sharing it here - give it a go.

Illecors,

I can already hear the internet complaining abiut stepping into sheep shit.

Illecors,

This doesn’t affect websites as such - it’s the end clients, i.e. browsers that would be forced to accept gov issued CAs. I don’t see anyone going after TOR as it’s already a very niche thing, so it should be fine.

Illecors, (edited )

No idea about what happened behind the closed doors, if anything; but I feel like compiling your browser with a patchset that removes the restriction on CA removal is going to become a thing. Good thing I’m on Gentoo already.

Illecors,

Oh, it doesn’t - the restriction is not in place to begin with. But it will definitely happen if this is to go through.

Illecors,

I’m not convinced this is better thatn my floating alacritty window piping through fzf, sort and xargs.

Repo needs at least screenshots, ideally a gif or two showing the product in action.

Other than that - great work!
