I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....
I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value...
That’s an even worse idea imo. If you’re not very familiar with bcd and grub you will find it hard to boot into Linux once windows decides to “fix the boot issue”.
Better to have a separate drive so you can select by picking boot device on startup.
I know it’s possible to dual boot, but it will be some issues at some point
Same - I’m a natural optimist and live a good life. But I can’t see any solutions for the horrors of the world. I only see new disasters brewing up, and being backed by more and more people.
But I’m finally starting in my new position at work next year and that good for me.
Nobody in this thread seems to be discussing kernels - but rather talk about Linux distros. While GNU userland still dominates most distros, most of the rust replacements seems to be mit or bsd-like licenses. Like the coreutils
There’s no requirement from the kernel that the userland is GPL. It’s by chance - and replaceable. Like with Android - there’s not much left of gnu userland there afaik. If you look at end user devices this makes up the bulk of devices running the Linux kernel.
Looking at today’s landscape of Linux development, replacements for userland is likely to be rust code. The majority of this code is MIT or BSD licensed. The coreutils implementation was an example of this. It’s not GNU licensed.
Before I say anything else, I should mention that this is nothing ground-breaking, neither is it terribly difficult to implement. This is simply how I envision a simple solution....
Longest shower though I’ve seen for a while. While you seem somewhat clueless in what you talk about you manage to fit in many cool words. That’s a plus.
It’s mostly for home-points. It’s not likely to get passed. Also questioning the idea that Poland is to be a leading country in EU any day soon. It will be hard for Tusk to pass anything but what he can agree with pis.
Snorre never cared - I tried to teach him about the importance of music, but he just never cared. Like he just filtered it out. No Matter the volume, no matter the music.
Also it’s the name of a Norse skald from ancient times. We do believe it means something like “the fast” originally, but in his case the s was silent. When he was put to sleep he has diabetes and kidney failure. His weight was about 8kg. snorre the magnificent
The doctors said it would make no difference. It was a tough decision to put him down even if we knew he would only suffer. It still hurts missing him, but most of the time it’s all beautiful memories of all the time we had together. My SO had him for 8 years before we got together, so I only have pictures of his younger years. He was always fond of warm cozy places close to the food
That was a lot of fancy words that I wish I understood. I’m betting my money (it’s not much) on this: his diabetes was because he was fat. The kidney failure we’re not sure. But the result of the mix was that he could not eat carbs for his diabetes and proteins was out of the question because of the kidney failure. We do believe (in hindsight) that he had diabetes for a few years before he was medicated.
If it’s one thing I might say kept him going for so long was that he was on science hills organic food from the beginning (real food not leftover proteins from fish industry) and the last 4 he was on diet food and later on medic food, and only wet. He had to pull teeth on one side, and always preferred wet food. He had about two years on insulin.
He got very poorly and we had regular monthly visits to the vet. The insulin could no longer take him down to sustainable bit high values of blood sugar. He did not show any pain and was not grumpy. The veterinary told us to think very hard about keeping him alive as he would not have a good time. One last photo of him - his last minute on my SO’s arm at the vet. snorre
We put his ashes in a grave and planted a tree there - he did love trees and other plants
So I’ve been thinking about Linux recently, and I’m told this is where the Linux experts hang out. I have a lot of questions that I can barely articulate, so I’m just hoping someone gets where I’m coming from....
If RH survives because of the support, why would they care about this? Only reason it’s a thing is because of their idea of restricting the rhel code. Restricted enterprise Linux is worse than no enterprise Linux.
I’m just guessing but I think rhel made money off their support already, but someone in management figured “we’re giving this away for free!”
Without gpl source there would be no RHEL. If they want closed source there’s other kernels with userlands under proprietary licences or bsd-like, yet they went for the GPL one. To lucrate (?) on top of it.
How many do you reckon would be using systemd if it was closed source? What about Wayland? I’m thinking mostly just you and their fanclub
At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.
Linux privilege only understands user id’s and group id’s. These are mapped through /etc/passwd and /etc/groups. You will see in passwd that the root user has UID 0. Any account you create with UID 0 will have root privileges. So running the command specifying any user with UID!=0 will run without those privileges.
It’s also possible to set user on execution with setuid - but that won’t work on scripts only binary executables.
Read your other post and it seems to me that a rebuild of the system to accommodate non-root users would be my preferred solution. Trying to “work around“ issues like this are prone to break as the system is updated/changed. And you’re back to trying to figure out what’s changed and makes your script break.
Laziness sparks innovation, and there could possibly be some other way to drop privileges. There’s loads of stuff I learn about Linux still - and my first install was summer 94
What solutions out there can package software in the native package format? I only found fpm (effing package management) and OBS (Open Build Service) so far....
The normal way I believe is to provide dpkg, and rpm to cover a few distros and to make sure your software is good enough for someone to pick up and maintain packages for other/their distros. ;)
The options you already mentioned seems a good fit - with OBS being a bit rpm centric.

You can put as much makeup as you want on a pig, it’s still a pig. Force people to move, and bombing civilians? Donning a Jew star in the UN? The whole country of Israel is a disgrace
Do you have any idea what that star was used for? Tip: it was not to mark people who was murdering kids. It’s spitting on those poor souls that was forced to wear the yellow star. These guys represent a country that bomb civilians and has nothing to do with holocaust.
We’ve been doing extended openings 0700-2200 for several years in Oslo. As do libraries all over Norway. You need to use your library-card or app to open the door, so there’s some control (data lives for 7 days). We have very little problems - maybe there’s some homeless there but they are as welcome as anyone else. We do have security guard, or one that strays between branches. And yes we do have homeless people in Oslo.
And the most popular one: the podcast studio. I’d like to point out that the other 20-ish libraries we have besides of Bjørvika are amazing too! You should see the one we open in Holmlia dec 1st. It’s even got a separate youth-library next to the normal one.
A lot of Norwegian libraries are underfunded as well.
In Oslo public library (Deichman) we’ve been given more money the last 10 years than previously. And we have shown what that money can do.
During Covid shutdown the Library was what kept open except for two weeks - that really showed what kind of back-bone we were for Oslo.
It was very tough on our frontline workers as we were swamped with students ignoring any precautions. Working in libraries are still low paying compared to the education
After watching this video, I’m tempted to give it a try myself. The idea of swapping out traditional CLI tools for Rust-based alternatives is intriguing, and I’m curious to know if anyone has undertaken such an endeavor....
Yeah - it would have been nice of them to inform him. I still don’t think he was “screwed over” by anyone and it seems like he doesn’t either. He updated his code for them without asking what they were using it for. And as he’s against the ME itself he claims he would not have cooperated if he had known.
Insightful comment! This is what we need to build a good community!!
If you don’t like MIT/BSD licensing it’s fine with me, but to claim those that use it is stupid or exploited because of their choices. These are people far smarter than you and capable of making their own choices.
My understanding is that FreeBSD has no issues with Apple basing their OS on FreeBSD. But you guys probably know better
I connect to a WireGuard installed on my VPS. Then I go to a random VPN service marketing page on which I’ll discover that my DNS leaks. And which is correct because I’ve specified DNS = 1.1.1.1 in [Interface] for all the Peers....
That page gives me varying info, and the only leaks I see are to my forwarders. Also when connected to vpn.
Do you see any NS discovered in a leak-test that’s not upstream from the vpn exit node? My vpn config is basic, with no DNS= setting and 0.0.0.0/0 as allowed-ip
WireGuard don’t do bridge. But smtp is tcp on port 25 and can go though proxy.
Note: you’ll need a ptr record for your VPS IP, not all providers allow this. You’ll also need to make sure your vps provider don’t block port 25. (like digital ocean)
What’s your current setup? VPS with reverse proxy and WireGuard to your home server/network?
I tend to use haproxy and would just add a tcp frontend on port 25 and have the backend point to my home-server WireGuard IP and the port I run my smtp server. Or the local ip - if your lan subnet is in the allow section of what config on the VPs side
