Because nvidia isn’t as hard to get working as people pretend it is.

Or streaming to a device that doesn’t support your encoding. Something like an android tv that isn’t as flexible and may need on the fly transcoding. You can be careful to select a well supported encoding on the server if needed.

By configuring journald to forward messages to syslog as is the default.

“forces on you” 🙄

Edit: Systemd has been around for 14 years. Did you never think to google this?

That’s true - you can often recover a bad ACL. I was thinking more of the “niche use case” where separating duties and restricting root are concerned.

I abhor the idea of things made “for kids”. I learned to program when I was 10 on a Commodore 64. And we would wear an onion on our belt which was the style at the time… Sorry, where was I?

I’d just install a normal distro. Let the kiddo break shit and learn to fix it. Keep backups for recovery and probably isolate the system on your network for if/when kiddo does something stupid. Talk about security, being responsible, etc. We learn through mistakes not by playing in safe walled-gardens.

SElinux is a “global ACL.” You can stop root from doing anything you like with it. Usually by accident and without realizing it’s been done in my experience…

If they had named it systemd-x11 people would hate it.

Let me introduce you to selinux.

Just like gnu utils.

Those hacked together system-specific bash scripts were shit. Having a standard way of creating, starting, ensuring restarts,and logging services is so much better.

You can still get all the plain text logs you like.

Stop trying to make “fetch” happen.

SSH port forwarding is quite handy. You can have SSH setup a SOCKS proxy that you can use to send your browser traffic through the tunnel as well.

Interesting - I had not. It was ages ago I was doing something like what I posted (well before that project ever got started) and it worked “well enough” for what I was doing at the time. Usually I’d run a SOCKS proxy on that second SSH line (-D 4444) and just point my browser at localhost:4444 to route everything home (or use foxyproxy to only route some traffic home).

Looks like sshuttle may have better performance though and provide similar functionality.

Can you ssh out? You could setup a VPS somewhere and use remote port forwarding to tunnel back home.

<span style="color:#323232;">ssh -R 80:localhost:80 user@vps # forward HTTP traffic from remote host to the local host
</span>

You can even run ssh over an ssh tunnel for inceptiony goodness.

<span style="color:#323232;">ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 user@vps  # your home system
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ssh -p 2222 homeuser@vps  # From your remote system
</span>

Wireguard doesn’t obfuscate its traffic so non-standard ports may not help depending on how sophisticated the blocking is (they could recognize the protocol and block your traffic regardless of port).
