OK I give up, where's the Wireguard for Absolute Dimwits guide? I am very bad at network but want to access crap at home while away. My public IP is reasonably stable. Currently I have a hodgepodge of mostly security-through-obscurity stuff, like a NAT-forwarded raspberry pi as my SSH host running fail2ban, and privoxy/pihole ACLs only allowing my cell provider's ranges. Not really sustainable since things do change once in a while. I'm failing, I think, on what addresses/ranges go where. And of course the iptables rules that go in the configuration. Or, I just discovered that my router has openvpn, but I can't seem to get that working either, mostly because it also wants a range. It suggested a 10.* /24 on its setup page, but I'm using 192.168... argh

Not really sustainable since things do change once in a while. I'm failing, I think, on what addresses/ranges go where. And of course the iptables rules that go in the configuration. Wireguard Quick Start (wireguard.com) If it helps, here is an example client configuration with instructions in the comments. I gave that example Wireguard client configuration to a couple people a few years ago and they were able to configure their client and then connect to the VPN. As part of the setup they sent me their public key and pre-shared key, which I added to the server configuration, Note: If you do use that client configuration I suggest skipping the DNS and pre-shared key options initially to simplify the initial setup. One thing to keep in mind is that Wireguard won't really do or say anything unless it recognizes it's peer. In other words: both sides are configured with the other side's corresponding public key and (if you're using one) the same pre-shared key. This is an awesome security feature because it makes Wireguard invisible to network scanners (versus TLS VPNs like OpenVPN, which loudly announce themselves to the world). Unfortunately it can also make the initial setup extremely frustrating, because neither side will say much of anything if something is misconfigured.

I am trying out endeavoros on my laptop and I got a strange problem: Konsole is eating the output of long commands, it only displays the first few hundred lines. The command outputs correctly on the pure text login. It also outputs correctly on Konsole my desktop which is an older Manjaro install. The probably is an option hidden somewhere, but I can't find it. They are both set to fixed scrollback, switching scrollback options doesn't help. e: it is not a length issue, I am noticing. It seems to stop at the same output every time at a specific unusual filename with. On both computers now that I copied it. Still confused why Konsole can't handle what non-graphic login can. The other graphic terminals also crap out. The cursed directory name: code:VictualSquid fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Oct 7, 2023 |

Says it's U+0090. Looking at your text in the quote window, it appears to be between ‹ and ³, and if I remove that character and paste the string, Konsole gives no complaints.

So after three days with Fedora and KDE I'm really impressed, I guessed I would switch to Win11 immediately but so far so good. BUT, the updates. Like, is this a Fedora or a KDE/Discover thing? Why is there no way to set an update schedule? It keeps checking for new updates, which tanks my slow connection. The only solution seems to be to deselect all sources in Discover and basically switch to dnf/CLI.

I personally uninstalled/disabled those things. Don't remember how, it's been years, but I never saw the value they would bring to the table. Just run "dnf update" whenever you feel like it.

I assume that's because the auto update service is centralized in PackageKitD and Discover is a PackageKit front end or consumer. Used to be that there were a lot more alternative front ends.

Yeah, I'll check that. Meanwhile I've discovered that docker freezes the KDE desktop (https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/1096). Sigh. Edit: maybe it's just the latest version I'll check the distro-appropriate packages urhg

For Quadlets there is a github project that tries to convert a podman run command or a compose file to the corresponding quadlet files https://github.com/k9withabone/podlet It may not support all the newest flags added by recent versions of podman's quadlet though. And run commands that rely on rootful podman may error out. Still though, it's a time saver if you're just dealing with pretty simple compose files or run commands.

Going back to this:ihafarm posted:kernel altinstructions is what I think they’re referring to pseudorandom name posted:I'm referring to arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c and arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h (and similar for several other architectures). I think it's related. I tried Googling "alternative.h" and had a much better time. Also, I think it does explain how a function I was trying to call was hitting an IBT trap. From what I can tell, there is a function to blast away all the ENDBR opcodes that IBT uses to bless indirect jumps inside the kernel functions across the kernel text section. Fun times! I haven't verified if I have agency over it yet but there's a block of stuff I think I can mess with to stop that. I haven't verified it yet because I have to restore my debug situation for it. Coincidentally, while trying to understand what __START_KERNEL_map was, I wound up on 0xax's page. So it is destiny.

You can just use docker-compose directly if you install the podman-docker* compatibility tool. * That's what it's called in Debian. don't know about other distros.

Grey Area posted:You can just use docker-compose directly if you install the podman-docker* compatibility tool. That package is basically just a shell script that may as well have been a symlink to run podman instead of docker, plus symlinking of docker.sock to podman.sock. You can set DOCKER_HOST to point towards Podman's socket instead for the same result. More important for docker-compose use is getting Podman's Docker compatible API ready by enabling socket activation.

I've heard lots of discussions about various *nix distros here, but almost nothing about openSUSE. Is there something particularly poor about that distro? I'm thinking about using it as my main WSL distro or when I want to use some *nix utilities on Windows.

So you don't get as many people talking about it here. One or two people ITT have said they use OpenSuse Tumbleweed, which seems to be good if you want a rolling release distro with a bit more structure than Arch.

I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with openSUSE, it's just a combination of SUSE the company focusing on enterprise, and.the distro having lower market share to start out with in the English speaking world.

I'm thinking about using it as my main WSL distro or when I want to use some *nix utilities on Windows. It's just a low percentage platform overall. Red Hat owns the enterprise and Ubuntu reigns in desktop (but there's a lot of RH and Fedora there, as well). At least in the US, SuSE getting bought by Novell pretty much cemented its niche where RH did everything else.

suse is profoundly boring and ships kde as a default, making it probably the best desktop distro, and it's backed by a real company so if you need enterprise support you can get that too i guess i'd definitely be running it if i wasn't already so at home in debian, when i used it on my work laptop i had zero issues past minor annoyances like searching in the wrong place in /etc or typing apt into the console when trying to do things

If IBM fucks up Red Hat and by extension Fedora, Suse would be the next one I'd think about. So far Fedora's doing fine though.

Cool, thanks all! I'll go ahead and keep using it for WSL. It will give me a chance to learn a different package manager than what Debian, Arch, Alpine, and Ubuntu use.

I have a laptop with Fedora 38 (Mate as the desktop environment, if that's relevant). For some reason, Firefox on this laptop signs me out of websites very often. Like within a day of signing in, I think. This has happened across at least this site and inoreader.com, but doesn't seem to have happened for reddit. I have Firefox sync turned on, so my settings on this machine should be the same as the other two computers I'm signed in on (both running Windows 11). Since this seems to be specific to Linux, I'm asking here. Any ideas what might be going on?
