ive been loving around with conky and apparently nobody has used it in Years and the syntax has changed so all the cool configs ive seen around are entirely broken now so im slowly writing my own. and yeah its just more for looking cool than actually being useful

got it set up to get the top 5 world news headlines from an RSS feed but so far the only feed ive found that actually works is the new york times. lol. lmao

Does LibreOffice have better compatibility if you stick to .odt instead of .docx? Could you pass the document back and forth between LibreOffice and Word without it affecting the formatting?

I did this for a spreadsheet, and it had fewer issues when I saved it as .ods.

Dunno what features are in the MS Office formats that I�d need.

iirc office does have some support for openoffice documents, but i doubt it's been updated much since they introduced the feature (probably more than a decade ago), so if the openoffice format changed since then (and it probably has) then it probably doesn't work very well

emacs can do full color and mouse interaction a terminal somehow. got it to the point where if i ssh into my desktop the terminal emacs looks/works about the same as locally in the gui version. i mean sure it's a low bar but still

repost from the networking thread

Progressive JPEG posted:

i ended up diying a linux router (debian stable) on a protectli box. running systemd-networkd and firewalld, with all the configuration in a basic ansible config in a git repo making it easy to rebuild later or revert if i break something. wanted something that could serve as a wireguard gateway and also run arbitrary docker containers

got everything working in about a day, with the one annoyance currently being that the built-in dhcp server in systemd-networkd is technically functional but extremely barebones. like afaict theres no way to list the hostnames used by clients to figure out where things are. the best i can find is a list of ips/mac addresses in "networkctl status <iface>"

meanwhile i've already got it running adguard home in a docker container for the dns server, and that has a dhcp server feature, so i might just try using that for the dhcp service too. however the file format for tracking static leases is undocumented which doesn't give me much confidence that it's much better

also firewalld is good but its docs are awful, and requiring "--" for command parameters in firewall-cmd is haram. thinking that ill want to switch to direct nftables someday but firewalld had everything i needed for now and was quick to get functioning despite the docs situation. for example i ended up creating my own zones from scratch because i didn't get the point of the built-in ones. i also don't know when you would want zone rules vs a separate policy, the latter seems to be newer and usually unnecessary

nano can do full color and supports using the mouse, too. i agree there's really not much that separates something like that from an entirely gui-based simple text editor (like notepad or something)

WYSIWYG ones that are more like wordpad or something are probably much easier for someone not accustomed to using keyboard shortcuts, though. having formatting and font options etc. on a toolbar or something is, imo, indisputably easier to use

redhat firewalld is actually pretty nice if you're able to understand the model regarding how you think about it

if you have some esoteric requirements, it could sometimes take time to implement and debug

however, I'm able to configure a router just fine

the model is pretty nice because you can define configurations by services, which makes it much cleaner to have firewalld juggle all the requirements regarding which ports should be open and to which audience those ports should be available to

as a result, if you want to release a new network service and have it play nice with the firewall, you just have to create a service file. Then the sysadmin takes the service file and specifies who gets to talk to the service via IP or via interface or whatnot.

i just have a blanket ACCEPT zone config against the wireguard interface like this and it seems to work:

code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<zone target="ACCEPT">
    <interface name="wg0"/>
    <forward/>
</zone>

sounds like you have this already but just in case: in the each of the wireguard clients connecting to the gateway, the peer entry for the gateway has an AllowedIPs covering everything to be served by the gateway, like:

code:

AllowedIPs = 172.27.0.2/32, 172.26.0.0/16

in that example the gateway itself is 27.0.2 on the wireguard network while the local network its exposing is 26.x.x

i think firewalld allows plain iptables rules if it really comes down to it?

# ? Apr 14, 2024 18:01

and I believe that the FORWARD chain is important in situations like this (between interfaces) but I have to admit I've struggled with similar setups in the past.

it's basically exclusively for wine/proton. those metrics are for performance improvements in windows games, and they're pretty impressive considering wine/proton are sometimes already faster than windows itself

i wonder what those numbers would look like using clear
