I don't like Linux, but it's the only stupid thing that I can use without having a super expensive spyware computer.
I liked how pretty Mac was but it got to be all "buy all of our stuffs" and I don't LIKE iPhones. They're dumb.
I wish there was a good thing for non techies to use that didn't come w getting talked down to and mansplained when stuffs doesn't work.
What unholy thing is an "AppImage"? WTF?
I thought the #linux world learned it's lesson with "flatpacks" and "snap" garbage, but I guess some are giving it the ol' college try again.
If you want a standalone application, make a container or a statically linked binary. (#rustlang and #golang made that popular again)
Or, like, create a Makefile like a normal person.
Wtf Linux world.
Okay, this is literally incomprehensible: on my Alpine v3.24 VPS, drill github.com, nslookup github.com, getent ahosts github.com, ping github.com, lynx https://github.com/, and manually sending hand-written queries to the configured DNS servers all return/use the correct IPv4 address, and return nothing as expected when querying for AAAA records.
And yet, curl and git both have completely nonsense IPv6 addresses returned (they're random Cloudflare addresses) alongside the correct IPv4 address, and then prioritize them. Those tools also completely ignore any overrides in /etc/hosts and I can't find any way to see what fucking broken bullshit they're doing to resolve DNS (because it's apparently not fucking getnameinfo nor manually reading /etc/resolv.conf).
There is literally no possible source for those addresses to be returned when resolving github.com AFAICT and no way to override them other than having to edit literally everything that might touch github to add -4 to those utilities' command lines
Do mini PCIe hardware security modules or standalone cryptographically strong pRNGs exist? If they do, where can I get one? NetBSD is complaining about low entropy (laptop from 2011) & suggests I keysmash, use an entropy file, or get a USB pRNG. I would prefer to have all of my USB ports free.
I have no idea where to find such a thing & I can't even find USB HSMs besides the one that YubiCo sells. The closest thing I have found is a bunch of TPM2 chips with SPI headers on them & I don't think I have any free SPI connectors in the laptop. For now I'll use an entropy file but I would rather do something better like using a proper RNG device.
I think people watching these tags might know more than I can find with a search engine. Thank you.

What is a good backup program? Where I can just use that program to write everything onto an external SSD and then open that same program up on a different computer and have everything just restore as long as I'm on the same distro.

At this point, at this point, i'm just going to copy my home folder over and that's as much as I can figure out how to back up now. But if there's like a better way to do it, then I would love to hear suggestions for next time I do this.

Had to compile himitsu and all its dependencies from source. It does not integrate well with KDE Plasma and has not been updated in a while. Vaultwarden stopped working with the official Bitwarden clients. KeePassXC integrates better with KDE Plasma, but is not as seamless as having your password filled for you in macOS, for example. Pass, the Standard UNIX Password Manager takes a weird filesystem approach so entries can't have sensitive titles, not to mention it relies on GPG. There has to be a way to have a password manager that works™, and integrates with your desktop environment/window manager on #Linux and #OpenBSD.
In case you're unclear why there is hubbub about #Linux 🧵
"And no, AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.
Because it's not like natural intelligence is always all that great either.

"Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.
This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.
In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.
And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools."

☀️ Hitze, 🛋️ Wochenende, 🥱 Langeweile – was macht man da?
Genau: Sinnfreie Statusseiten mit eigenem Design bauen. 😄
Da sich unser tolles Werkzeug #UptimeKuma ja so *hervorragend* designen lässt (Ja! Das war dezente Kritik. Dennoch: Danke für dieses tolle Stück Software! ;) - musste ich für die Optik mit der API ran.
Für zwei von drei Welten gibt es nun kleine eigene Statusseiten die zwar schon bestanden und auch weiterhin bleiben, aber eben im eigenem Kuma-Design.
Beide greifen auf die API ihres jeweiligen Origins zu:
🌐 #AWsite – mit eigener Subdomain:
https://status.weindl.biz
🌐 #FEROX – bekommt einen Pfad:
https://ferox.cc/status
Einzig #AWiT bleibt vorerst beim Kuma-Standarddesign. AWiT bekommt aber in absehbarer Zeit ein komplettes Redesign, sobald die Vereinsgründung abgeschlossen ist.
Nun aber: Weil ich heute durch einen anderen Post auf den Geschmack gekommen bin, heißt es jetzt #Couchen und #DemolitionMan in OV schauen. 📺
Sanfte Grüße 🌙 und wer Probleme mit seinem Bidet hat -> die 3 Muscheln benutzen!

For eighteen years. No public exploit exists yet; no CISA catalog entry as of August 7.
Restrict SCTP access on multi-tenant systems and containers, and patch the Linux kernel when fixes become available.
Reward: You've received the Phantom Packet Badge. It does nothing. Much like eighteen years of SCTP audits.

Sooo.
I went and installed Artix Linux (the OpenRC flavour), and in some ways it is awesome. It is a bit lighter, but Incus gave me a headache. I had to write an OpenRC service script to initialise it and get it working.
After that, it has been awesome. Most of my configuration from Arch Linux works alright on Artix. I say “most” because I may find an issue later. All in all, I moved to Artix, and it is cool.
#artixlinux #archlinux #openrc #systemd #linux #scripting
It has been assembled. Tomorrow is first power and trying it out. Maybe it'll become my daily driver by the end of the week. But first the firmware update, then the OS install, then the data migration, then the reconfiguration of everything so I can use it all again.
And then comes turning the decommissioned desktop into my home server. And getting that reformatted, and built up, and...
Getting the new computer is awesome. Getting it ready to replace the existing one? Not so much 🙂 Here's hoping this one lasts as long as my current one did.
Så har jeg endelig modtaget min Sailfish mobiltelefon, som kører Linux og Android apps i simulator-sandbox. Det spiller bare. Under opsætningen blev jeg spurgt om jeg ville bruge Android apps og der var sat et flueben ved Android AppSupport.

Derefter kunne jeg installere Android apps og bruge dem, da jeg lige var blevet fortrolig med at navigere i Sailfish brugerflade. #sailfish #linux #mobiltelefon
Wondering how many homelabbers bother with #SSL certificates for local network stuff. I have tried so many times over the years to figure out how to do this and I can never seem to get them to work. I feel like every guide I find is always missing some part or something that I just can't sort out.

I would like to escape from systemd. Two options considered were Artix and Void, but Artix is on Twitter and Void is heavily reliant on M$ GitHub. But a plus is that the latter is on Mastodon as well.
Are there more progressive options? I'd prefer rolling release, fairly bleeding edge and ideally precompiled packages are available. Main socials are in the fediverse and hosting is e.g. forgejo/gitea/codeberg. A policy against LLMs would be great, too.

For Linux users on servers/personal computers, do you use full disk encryption (FDE), if so did you know about these performance tweaks? #luks #linux
I found out after using full disk encryption on my Linux devices for a long time that there are these tweaks that make it soo much more efficient and fast (as in throughput and latency).
I am talking about `no-read-workqueue`, `no-write-workqueue` and `discard`. Most distros do not set these options when you check to encrypt your drive at instalation, and using these tweaks really makes a big difference, try it for yourself.
I wrote a post on it: https://cosipa.dev/posts/full-disk-encryption-tweaks/
As always no AI used in the making of the post and no tracking/cookies or anything like that.
