Inside PH4NTXM: #8 Physical Adapter Hotplug
lugging in a new adapter should not skip the startup contract.
PH4NTXM's hotplug helper derives the adapter's protected MAC from the active session state, applies it, and verifies the result. It also checks the armed termination runtime and the mode's network requirements.
In Linux and Windows modes, the physical packet guard must be enforced and verified as part of that process. A failed completion leaves the interface down. Newly attached hardware has to satisfy the session's protection checks before it is reported as protected.

Inside PH4NTXM: #7 Lone Wolf's Identity Chain
A separate operating mode needs its own identity lifecycle.
Lonewolf establishes an independent seed, hostname, and locally administered physical-interface MAC addresses. Its hardware, CPU, graphics, and display generators consume that mode's session state, with bounded choices appropriate to the selected device class.
Validated identity records are reused within the session, and readiness is published after the required setup succeeds. Tor Browser then follows its dedicated launch environment and browser policy. The system persona is not a promise to rewrite every surface inside Tor Browser.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
A few months ago, I tried #linux on my desktop (my last Windows box). Unfortunately, things didn't work out.
But the thing I remember most is a sense of safety. There was no one lurking in my PC to trick me into buying, or signing in, or uploading my data, or watching me.
Anyway, you should try it. It feels like seeing the stars while camping, or trying butter after growing up with margarine. It's unexpectedly great.
Devil’s Dictionary of Programming:
configurable — It’s your job to make it usable.
dsl — A domain specific language, where code is written in one language and errors are given in another.
disrupt — To overcome any legal, social, or moral barrier to profit.
This was written 13 years ago and is more relevant than ever.
Each new generation re-learns the lessons of the past one, poorly and too late.

Inside PH4NTXM: #6 Lone Wolf Mode
A Tor setting is only useful when the rest of the network obeys it.
PH4NTXM's Lone Wolf mode builds a dedicated routing policy around system Tor. Supported application TCP traffic follows the Tor path, while arbitrary application UDP and IPv6 are blocked. DNS goes through a local bridge into Tor's DNSPort.
Required local link setup has its own allowances. Browser launch depends on protection readiness and completed Tor bootstrap. The routing policy is designed to contain application traffic when Tor is unavailable, rather than offer an automatic direct-network fallback.

I really dislike Discord but all the people I know use it.
I feel like I have to in order to stay in touch with people I care about but the more I use it and with how often it breaks on #Linux I am pretty much fed up with it.
Any #selfhosting people out there want to tell me what they use?
Should I try to install a #Jitsimeet server on my #nas or what?
Inside PH4NTXM: #5 Windows Mode
A Windows-looking browser leaves plenty of other signals to explain.
PH4NTXM's Windows mode coordinates a Windows-aligned persona across selected hardware views, browser settings, DHCP, and TCP/IP behavior. It uses the MSFT 5.0 DHCP vendor class, mode-specific network settings, and packet transformations that keep the supported traffic aligned with that profile.
The underlying operating system remains Linux. This is a coordinated persona across managed surfaces, with explicit limits on what is transformed. Unbound, firewall supervision, and the physical-output guard remain part of the protection chain.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
Inside PH4NTXM: #4 Linux Mode
A network persona reaches further than a User-Agent string.
PH4NTXM's Linux mode prepares a linked hardware identity, bounded Linux-oriented TCP/IP settings, and a wrapped Firefox ESR profile. Supported IP traffic passes through the Packet Transformation Engine, with an additional guard at physical egress.
DHCP uses Linux-aligned client settings. Local Unbound forwards DNS through authenticated DNS-over-TLS. Network Drift and Ghost Stack add their normal-mode behavior, while Boot Pilot exposes protection readiness before its browser action launches the session's browser.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
A hostname tells one story. Your hardware, browser, and network should agree with it.
PH4NTXM builds a linked runtime identity at boot. In Linux and Windows modes, it validates the boot machine ID and combines it with fresh randomness to derive a session seed. That shared state connects the hostname, hardware selection, and physical-interface MAC addresses.
Downstream components consume the same identity chain when preparing their own profiles. The design aims to reduce contradictions across the reporting surfaces controls, while keeping the session internally consistent.

If I earned a penny every time a "youtuber" tried linux for the 1st time thereafter tries to install davinci-resolve when it fails they start to complain and list all the issues davinci has on Linux for more than half of their video's length finally concludes that Linux isn't ready for "real" desktop use 
I'd have more than a minimum wage amount.
I'm not understanding this #omarchy thing. In the 30 years I've been doing this shit, I've NEVER seen "fad" distros last long. Like, CrunchBang..."this is just fucking Debian". I run #macOS for my workstation, but if I need #linux, I stick with the tried and true, usually #Debian or #nixos (because Nix is a huge part of my workflow) to get shit done. These script kiddy distros don't last long, ever. They end up on random FTP servers. They always do. Always.

I just lost my job today, so here we go..
I'm a ~30 years career Sysadmin/DevOps/Server Shepard/Graybeard whatever its called now UNIX nerd.
Looking for work doing UNIX'y stuff. I mostly do automation, and have avoided working with AI and Kubernetes (though I have a bit of k8s experience at two jobs, I just prefer "the old way")
Chef, Puppet, Cfengine, Ansible, Shell scripts, etc.
I've built Linux distributions, and automation tools. Having worked at Redhat, TurboLinux, Penguin Computing, Salesforce, and Chef.
Built and maintained monitoring systems, checks, and lived the on-call life.
Built and managed CI systems, and Pipelines.
I've written and maintained software in Ruby, Python, and Shell. I've dabbled in just about every other programming language you'll find on a UNIX system.
I have spent a lot of time with *BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux, and to a lesser extent HPUX, and AIX.
If its sysadmin work on a UNIX, I've likely done it.

I decided to try #emacs for my note-taking at college, as well #programming #csharp. While I expected it to be not good, I actually have been really enjoying it as my main text editor, and respect how comfortable the default packages are. Of course, I still had to install three other packages (being magit and markdown-mode), but other than that, the defaults have fulfilled my needs.
Note that while I still tend to use #markdown, I actually mainly use #orgmode for my note-taking. It integrates really well in Emacs, and I can just generate my little note into an HTML file to print off from org-mode directly rather than having to open a shell and use pandoc. I do have to remember some of the keybindings, especially when making bullet point lists, however.
In regards to actually writing C#, it's not even that bad. I enjoyed writing my code for my projects, although I tended to use the shell often to use `dotnet solution`. This isn't a pain point however, since eshell got the job done pretty well, all things considered. I just need to set up an LSP and I should be fully able to replace VSCodium for what I do.
I do want to raise that it is quite rough in some scenarios, notably when you DO have to use the shell. For example, `file://` links result in strange artifacts, very visible when running fastfetch in any built-in terminal for Emacs. This isn't a deal-breaker as I can always just... use GNOME Terminal. Maybe I'll have more critiques in time but its' likely solvable with search engines and the wonderful built-in help mode. That's all I really have to say at the moment.

@engadget really irritating generic article. pointless, misleading. assumes the whole online world accesses internet by mobile device [ie, bullshit]. on a linux pooter with my #vpn permanently connected [albeit sometimes to different geo-servers as desired] precisely NONE of the "problems" inferred herein arise. furthermore, these days heapsa countries' govts mandate mandatory data retention by domestic ISPs, so you'd have rocks in your head, if you already had a bloody vpn, to turn it off. articles like this are clickbait crap.
Allocating VRAM for file system purposes, like swap, is a pretty neat idea.
If the current workload doesn't require all the VRAM, one might want to utilise durable memory for paging out CPU RAM, instead of burning PE cycles of not-so-durable SSDs.
Perhaps most useful in laptops with a dedicated GPU, but any suitable old/used GPU is cheaper than 16 GB of DDR5.
vramfs is one of several projects on GitHub - i'm talking about #Linux, but there's prolly something for Windows as well
sudo sed -i -E 's/^#?port = [0-9]+/port = 3306/' /etc/postgresql/*/main/postgresql.conf
sudo sed -i -E 's/^#?port\s*=\s*[0-9]+/port = 5432/' /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf
sudo systemctl restart postgresql mariadb

I'm donating an old computer to a local charity that puts #Linux Mint on them and sells them super cheap to families that need them. I tried to reset Windows to clear our data before that (even though they say they will wipe everything) and it didn't work. So now I'm installing Linux Mint on it myself even though they'll wipe it again.
This is all just to say: installing Linux on a computer seems a lot easier now than I remembered it from last time I tried it about 15-20 years ago. There were a few options, mostly in pretty clear language rather than super technical jargon. It's definitely not as pretty as Windows or MacOS in this install process, but it is not at all hard.

Le monde du logiciel libre est loin d’être protégé du fascisme.
Omarchy est un mouvement politique déguisé en distribution Linux. Il est important de comprendre les liens entre Omarchy et les autres projets d’extrême droite.
Ne laissons pas le fascisme se normaliser dans nos outils !

STOP DOING SWAP PARTITIONS
HARD DRIVES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE RAM
YEARS OF LINUX SYSADMINNING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going beyond CLOSING A FEW TABS
Wanted to avoid the OOM killer anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called ZRAM
"Yes please give me a dedicated 64GB logical volume of SWAP. Please give me unresizable block devices trapped at the end of my disk." - STATEMENTS DREAMED UP BY THE UTTERLY DERANGED
LOOK at what Neckbeards have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the fdisk and GParted Live USBs we built for them. (This is REAL PARTITIONING, done by REAL LINUX USERS):
# mkswap /dev/nvme0n1p3
# echo /dev/nvme0n1p3 none swap sw 0 0 >> /etc/fstab
# swapon -a
"Hello I would like to torture my SSD's FTL because I left three Electron apps open."
They have played us for absolute fools.
Spun up a fresh Hetzner instance from an old snapshot last week, no login screen, just a UEFI shell staring back at me.
New Hetzner hardware only boots UEFI now, no legacy BIOS fallback, and my snapshot's disk never had an EFI partition. The server type I originally ran got marked "Limited availability", so redeploying the same box wasn't an option.
Fixed it from the rescue system: shrank the filesystem live, carved an EFI partition out of the freed space, chrooted in, lost an evening to CentOS 7's dead repos.
Mid-fdisk I said yes to wiping the ext4 signature by reflex. Caught it before writing. You get to make that mistake exactly once.
The site is uasource.com, me and my dad's old Counter-Strike: Source project from when I was a teenager coding mods for it. Almost lost the only working copy of it to a partition table.
Still don't get why Hetzner doesn't warn you before a restore.
