If you are "theming" your cli more than just changing text colors than you should just use a gui.

I feel that if linux on the desktop is ultimately a cli then that's a fitting end to this effort.

I couldn't imagine the amount of time spent trying to make a decent color scheme/entire theme with hex codes. I apply Molokai to literally everything. if someone hasn't built a Molokai theme for it. it's not themed.

Linux on the desktop at its best is just some terminals/emacs and a web browser.

so why does centos let traffic through my bridge interface when it is supposed to be processed in nfqueue.

code:

iptables -I FORWARD -j NFQUEUE -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged

poo poo works fine on debian with this command. No traffic gets through the bridge unless something (suricata, snort, etc) is in nfqueue mode. I don't think there is a command to disable bypass, I know there is one to enable it if nothing is processing nfqueue.

i've started using centos more and i loving hate it. mostly because I have no idea where anything is since I've been a Debian user for 8 years or so

I should probably learn to use docker but I don't see the point right now. seems like a pain in the rear end to setup networked poo poo. is there anything to control docker like virtual box? I don't want to learn another cli utility, I've hit my threshold for the week. you can give containers their own bridged interface into the network right? unique ip and all?

I�m sorry I have to come with bad news.

We were exposed to an intrusion today. It was brief and it shouldn�t impact many people, but if it impacts you, it�s very important you read the information below.

What happened?

Hackers made a modified Linux Mint ISO, with a backdoor in it, and managed to hack our website to point to it.

Does this affect you?

As far as we know, the only compromised edition was Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon edition.

If you downloaded another release or another edition, this does not affect you. If you downloaded via torrents or via a direct HTTP link, this doesn�t affect you either.

Finally, the situation happened today, so it should only impact people who downloaded this edition on February 20th.

Linux mint + cinnamon being target by hackers! Truly 2016 is the year of linux on the desktop!

So I got a bunch of python and ruby poo poo that all ties together into one cohesive thing. Am I insane for thinking I can package this into a .deb or ppa? I just want it to dump all the ruby and python files in the proper locations and my .deb will tell apt that I need it to install a bunch of dependencies and than installs all the necessary gems and pip files.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:

this is a terrible idea, just completely loving wrong

you can't make an OS package that relies on poo poo like rubygems and pypi, it just doesn't work. (not that it hasn't been tried: rpm experimented with integrating CPAN and it was a disaster.)

yeah. if the whole thing was written in C this might make some sense

Notorious b.s.d. posted:

if you want to distribute binary packages, you need to worry about the details

in python, the canonical method is to use 'virtualenv' to package a complete pre-built set of libraries.

in ruby, you can do the same thing with 'bundler'. ruby also has 'omnibus', which will package a complete ruby runtime with all C deps in addition to the ruby dependencies.

bear in mind when i say "package" i just mean "poo poo out into a directory." you still have to write scripts and poo poo to make an OS package out of it

Cheers. I should probably start hanging out in the terrible programmers thread more.

I've been getting pretty interested in trying to hide data in regular network packets like icmp and I thought this guys linux raw socket examples were pretty neat.

I've always wondered what the Chinese net is like. I'm sure their dark net is a bit more active. or maybe they just get past the great firewall and participate in the rest of the net.

terminals and shells have rolled backwards. xterm is less good than a vt520. bash is less good than ksh93.

when it came time to modernize, and re-do 1970s tty infrastructure for window systems, people only implemented what users asked for. nobody really needed the crazy features in a vt520 or ksh93. licensing and ease of implementation turned out to be a lot more important than the features dreamed up by commercial entities of the 1980s.

So what are some of the cool features we are missing out on these days? genuinely curious

i've never even heard of this poo poo before today

ffs just use gnome like what passes for a linux-desktop-having normal person. or don't complain when you have to manually set that sort of thing up.

how much do you want to bet the author of this dmenu thing has Systemd Opinions

wasn't really complaining. just kinda like lol since steamos is debian based so was hoping it'd go well. dmenu is good though.
