Illecors, to selfhosted in Adding services to an existing Docker nginx container

Separate. That’s the whole point of containerisation! Otherwise you’re just doing a regular deploy with extra steps

Illecors, to selfhosted in VPN to home network options

Plug your pies into wireguard. Problem solved.

Illecors, to programmer_humor in `zsh`, `ksh`, `bash`, and obviously `sh`

What about the old friends csh and tcsh?

Illecors, to piracy in "Piracy is a service issue.." (Image is a real story btw, link in post)

I don’t have something specific to read, my statement comes from questioning the declared permissions by apps. Why would, say, facebook - an app that, essentially, downloads and uploads content via http, need access to location, gyro, contacts, texts, call history, making calls, microphone, etc? Also, while I can’t prove it, as someone who works in computing I can guarantee there are undocumented/buggy/testing APIs and just straight up bugs that companies with enough resources can and do find and abuse. Cambridge analytica has only strengthened my view on this.

That’s… Not at all how it works.

Don’t worry, you’re one of today’s lucky 10000!

Launcher on android is just that - an app to launch other apps. Other apps can and do run in the background, without ever being explicitly launched. Think play services, location provider, wifi connection manager, etc. Since google runs its stuff at the highest level - nothing can hide from it. Other apps, like netflix, utilise internal telemetry. Assholes like facebook push the boundaries to the limit and collect literally every input of every sensor to have as much data about your environment as possible.

TL;DR - custom launcher cool, but no cure.

Illecors, to memes in 🧙‍♂️

No, that’s normal. Might look strange for a native english speaker, but it definitely normal in othet languages.

Illecors, to opensource in PLZ good PeerTube alternative

Just in case you’re not a troll - host it yourself. It’s federated, like lemmy. You don’t need to be able to program.

Illecors, (edited ) to linux in Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

Sorry, this is very much a PEBKAC issue. This is a excerpt from my tmux config:


<span style="color:#323232;"># Start windows and panes at 1, not 0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">set -g base-index 1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">setw -g pane-base-index 1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Use Alt-arrow keys without prefix key to switch panes
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind -n M-Down select-pane -D
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Shift arrow to switch windows
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind -n S-Left  previous-window
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind -n S-Right next-window
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># No delay for escape key press
</span><span style="color:#323232;">set -sg escape-time 0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Increase scrollback buffer size from 2000 to 50000 lines
</span><span style="color:#323232;">set -g history-limit 50000
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Increase tmux messages display duration from 750ms to 4s
</span><span style="color:#323232;">set -g display-time 4000
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Bind pane creation keys to reuse current directory
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind % split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bind '"' split-window -v -c "#{pane_current_path}"
</span>

I hope the comments are self explanatory.

Scrolling works with Ctrl+b Page Up/Down. There are other shortcuts, but this is probably the most obvious. q to quit scrolling.

Ctrl+b d to detach from a session. tmux a to attach. As always, many options are available to have many named sessions running simultaneously, but that is for a later time.

Illecors, (edited ) to linux in Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I don’t know the specifics on Fedora’s installer, but normally that question is about disabling root account, not logging into a DE.

Not sure what else to elaborate here. There’s a bunch of code that is not tested to be run as root. A whole class of exploits becomes unavailable, if you stick to an unprivileged user.

Say there’s some exploit that allows some component of KDE to be used to read a file. If it’s running under an unprivileged user - it sucks. Everything in user’s homedir becomes fair game. But if it runs as root - it’s simply game over. Everything on the system is accessible. All config, all bad config, files of all applications (databases come to mind). Everything.

Illecors, to linux in Help on BTRFS setup

Glad I could help! Just to make things a bit clearer - this is a btrfs thing. Other FSes behave differently.

Illecors, to linux in Linux Containers From Scratch in C

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing!

Illecors, to programmer_humor in Good luck web devs

No idea what it was, sorry. One of the youtube recommendations at the time.

Illecors, to linuxmemes in sudo !!

I used to do sudo !!, but then I’ve started learning the shortcuts of my shell a bit more - Ctrl+A jumps to the beginning of the line, which, technically speaking, is a saving of 1 (!) keystroke, compared to Shift+1+1.

This has also led to discover that emacs is actually much more useful compared to vim as it uses the same shortcuts.

Illecors, to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

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

Illecors, to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

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