cobwoms , in systemd Rolling Out "run0" As sudo Alternative

i feel apprehensive about adopting a new way of running commands with elevated permission when sudo already feels trustworthy. i’m sure it’s safe but i need an xkcd comic about good old run0 before i can trust it

hperrin , in Linux for Kids?

Give them a real desktop, like Fedora. If they enjoy computers, they’ll love it and they’ll be excited to learn how to use it.

ProgrammingSocks , in Linux for Kids?

I was installing Linux myself on extra computers we had at 13-14. Adding to the people saying just give them something like Mint or Ubuntu.

stsquad , in Linux for Kids?

I just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn’t bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.

fhein , in How to figure out why BTRFS drive reports it is out of space

Would be nice if there’s some automatic solution, but after running into this issue I always run a couple different btrfs balance after deleting larger files for good measure. Took a while to figure out why Linux said there wasn’t any space left when df reported several GB available on the root partition

daq OP ,

I am surprised there isn’t an automatic mechanism to handle this especially if it is such a frequent issue.

I don’t know why but this gave me the idea of running meterpreter locally lmao

nossaquesapao , in Noticably lower standby battery drain with Fedora 40

That’s interesting. I usually skip each other fedora version, and will probably go from 39 to 41, but if there are improvements to battery life, maybe I will try it now.

Why would you do that, there is absolutely no reason. Fedora only supports upgrading one version up. oops its 2

Stay on the old stable if you like, but then switch to the latest? Why?

nossaquesapao ,

Fedora actually supports skipping every other version. They point it at the docs:

. System upgrade is only officially supported and tested over 2 releases at most (e.g. from 38 to 40). If you need to upgrade over more releases, it is recommended to do it in several smaller steps (read more).

As for why I do that, the six months release cycle is too fast for me. I struggle a lot with things and end up living in a slow paced manner. In this case, the process is supported and I receive security updates normally, so I don’t see a problem and it works fine for me. Besides, I have only one computer I use for everything, and I had problems with things not working properly after a distro upgrade in the past (it was with ubuntu, but I got a bit traumatized after that).

lemmyvore ,

TBF with Ubuntu it’s only partly their fault. The other part is indirect due to the way apt works and the spread of third-party repos (launchpad etc.) that would throw you in dependency hell come upgrade time.

Ubuntu (and Debian, and any distro using apt) are badly in need of some way to dissociate core packages from third-party better. For Ubuntu that way was snap.

People may dislike the politics around snap or the technical implementation but the reason Ubuntu resorted to it is valid.

StrangeAstronomer , in Any way to autologin with LUKS encrypted boot drive?

Another approach entirely is to use pam_mount(8) which can automatically mount a disc on login. I use it to mount /home/$USER (obviously this couldn’t be used to mount the root fs !!)

JackbyDev , in Much ado about "nothing" - Xe Iaso (==Goodbye NixOS)

This post contains massive spoilers for Neon Genesis Evangelion, The End of Evangelion, and the four part revival Evangelion movies.

A Cruel Angel’s Thesis

In order to properly convey the level of emotions that I feel about this situation, I need you to understand the weight of The End of Evangelion.

I can’t get through this article without leaving quotes of it as comments.

On NixOS I did this:


<span style="color:#323232;">services.displayManager.autoLogin = {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	enable = true;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	user = "kevincox";
</span><span style="color:#323232;">};
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Avoid setting up a keyring every time I do a non-auto login.
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/seahorse/-/issues/159
</span><span style="color:#323232;">security.pam.services.login.enableGnomeKeyring = lib.mkForce false; 
</span>

N0x0n , (edited ) in Repairing bad sectors in an external drive

Hey did you find a solution? I maybe found something that could interest you !

Complementing @thebrain anwser, I totally wiped and fixed bad sectors on a old SSD drive I fought was borked because of alot of unallocated pending sectors. (In/out errors)

Keep in mind this is advanced stuff and could not work in your case and EVEN brick your hard drive. You will lost all your data and everything will be rewriten.

Manually rewrite sectors

https://leo.leung.xyz/wiki/Hdparm

Full wipe with “–security-erase-enhanced”

https://tinyapps.org/docs/wipe_drives_hdparm.html

This can take some time (3hours in my case) and it looks like your terminal is stuck, don’t worry just wait until it finishes !

Again this can be DANGEROUS ! Only attempt such mesure if you don’t care to lose your hard drive.

Sentau OP ,

No I am still working on this. Thanks for the advice. I was having trouble with hdparm because I didn’t have enough information about with sectors are bad. Was trying to use ddrescue to make a map. Thanks for the resources

Frederic , in Wanting to dual boot Windows with Kubuntu. Am I fine getting a Windows 10 key instead of 11?
