That is what this post is about, IDK who this Torvalds guy is.

luthis,

I would so read that book.

luthis,

Can’t you compile your own kernel with exactly the things you want? Would be a fun project to do

luthis,

I have doubts you would see any performance increases, and if you change your hardware you’ll be in for a tough time but it would be a fun learning experience!

luthis,

Um… I’m going to choose to phone a friend on this one…

Oh, …I have no friends who would know.

My instinct is you’re going to need to journalctl -b and see what modprobe and udev are up to.

luthis,

You’re right, I am not.

What do you think about this? (www.youtube.com)

Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.

luthis,

I’ve been using Arch for years and can’t pull myself away because everything just works. Whats the difference between arch and whatever the derivatives are? I don’t even know what distros to arch are the Ubuntu / mint to debian

luthis,

Systemd is amazing. Every user should at least know the basics.

luthis,

There is an archinstall script??

luthis,

Remote access while ProtonVPN is active.

luthis,

Yes but… I am learnING??

luthis,

I spent most of the day intensely learning nftables and ulogd thinking that was the way. Nope, there was a simple way all along.

luthis,

I have protonVPN, therefore no way to forward packets from their endpoint to my pc.

luthis,

No it’s the second one; server (home pc) is running ProtonVPN and there is a default route that makes all (ie ssh replies) traffic go through the VPN.

I added some clarification, but basically this sets up a port-based default route to the home router instead of the VPN, so that SSH etc works.

luthis,

learnt

learning… it’s extensive!

luthis, (edited )

Ahead of you with the non-default port, I just didn’t use it in the example.

But for the destination IP, I won’t always be connecting remotely from the same one. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

luthis,

Woooah awesome thanks!

There goes my whole day again on systemd…

luthis, (edited )

I was surprised to learn this was a thing, impressive, however;

‘the VPN app sends a request to the VPN server to open a random port’

‘the active port number will change when you disconnect and reconnect the VPN.’

This will not work OOTB with Plex for example, you would need to change the port in the app every time. It becomes difficult to serve anything statically, like a XMPP server or anything that doesn’t let you configure the port.

You also would need to be at home to check which port you’ve been assigned eg if the connection drops and you get assigned a new port, defeating the whole ‘remote access’ thing.

luthis,

FAANG

Facebook Apple Amazon Nicrosoft Google???

Oh it’s ‘Netflix’ apparently, would have thought Microsoft would have been waaaaaay bigger than Netflix.

luthis,

True, but for this purpose it’s totally fine.

There’s also a big disclaimer at the top of the file:

cat grub.cfg

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates

from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

Wording could probably be less DOOM SHALL BEFALL YE, as long as you aren’t messing around and just adding logging it’s not an issue.

More info on grub here: wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB

systemd-analyze plot > boottimes.svg

Open the SVG and have a look at what’s happening during boot.

journalctl -b will give you some more info too. If you’re using grub to boot (probably in /boot/grub/grub.cfg), you can change the loglevel and add the udev option to get a bunch more info. Helped me with a random issue recently. Here’s mine for an example:
