Wine is not an emulator. It’s not sandboxed either. If you can do it as a user, a program running in wine can do it too.
There’s nothing stopping a piece of malware from crawling your disk for sensitive information, or encrypting your files for ransom.
You inspired me to test on 6m. Not a good match at all (SWR 40+). Gonna explore more, but from what I read about moxons on Wikipedia, they don’t lend themselves well to multi-band operations. I guess the measurements can be very band-specific.
Honestly, my plan is to use it as a minor propaganda tool: Call up a local ham friend for a “radio check”, and “just happen” to mention that there’s a protest going on and nobody is being aggressive, etc. I hear way too many maga guys on the airwaves, I want to do what I can to counter it.
Plus, if the cops do get violent, there’s no downside to having a communication tool that doesn’t rely on big tech or cell phones. One more way to get the word out.
Of course, something like this could be adapted for tools like meshtastic, or used with digital modes in order to coordinate a group.
Serious answer: ownCloud
There are some sites where Anubis won’t let me through. Like, I just get immediately bounced.
So RIP dwarf fortress forums. I liked you.
What do you mean by handling the keyfile?
You can generate your ssh keys outside of docker and make them available in the container through a mounted directory. You will need to manually copy the public key to your remote host authorized_keys file anyway.
The pain of keeping it around will outweigh the pain of needing it and not having it.
Quick boot into windows to help a friend test something on your machine?
And suddenly, that’s where you’ll be spending the whole afternoon. I agree with the others who say a VM is probably good enough.
Shouldn’t he be folding little origami animals or something?
You should report this to somewhere like 404 media
I do that for data I want to persist, but which I don’t care about backing up (eg caches)
Small blessings. Seeing a WSL user means that some dev out there didn’t have to implement Windows support.
I’m not going to say “Don’t learn gentoo next” but if you’re already well versed in Nix or setting up a base arch install, I feel like the only thing Gentoo will teach is “How long does it really take to compile Firefox from source?”
Are you able to independently confirm that the domaincheck container is listening to the right port? Eg netstat -tunlp on the host
There definitely are FOSS projects run by the US government: Ghidra is an open source reverse engineering tool developed by the NSA.
There are definitely UI inconsistencies across devices, especially smart TVs. Jellyfin on Firestick looks different from Jellyfin on Roku which looks different from Jellyfin on WebOS. Some devices deliver Jellyfin through a thin browser client, and in those cases you get access to a unified design. Outside of that it’s a crapshoot as what the app will let you do. Of course, it’s a volunteer project (and all my thanks to any maniac willing to develop TV apps), so I don’t expect that everything can be easily and neatly unified.
I can’t deny that it’s sometimes hard to support my users because of this. Someone complains that they’re getting movies dubbed in an unwanted language: I can’t guarantee that the button to select audio track will look the same on their end when I talk them through it.
Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, no way around that without a GPU or a processor with integrated graphics.
You should be able to get a used workstation GPU for $20-40 on eBay. Something from Dell, or a basic nvidia quadro would do the trick. If you could sell the 1660 super for more than that, could be worth the effort.
Alternatively, the 1660 Super would do the trick nicely if you ever needed to transcode video streams, like from running Jellyfin or Plex.
However, I was never able to have the server completely headless.
Depending on what you mean by “completely headless” it may or may not be possible.
Simplest solution: When you’re installing OS and setting up the system, you have a GPU and monitor for local access. Once you’ve configured ssh access, you no longer need the GPU or monitor. You could get by with a cheap “Just display something” graphics card and keep it permanently installed, only plugging in the monitor when something is not working right. This is what I used to do.
Downside: If you ever need to perform an OS reinstall, debug boot issues, or change BIOS settings, you will need to reconnect the monitor.
Medium tech solution: Install a cheap graphics card, and then connect your server with something like PiKVM or BliKVM. They can plug into your GPU and motherboard and provide a web interface to control your server physically. Everything from controlling physical power buttons to emulating a USB storage device is possible. You’ll be able to boot from cold start, install OS, and change BIOS settings without ever needing a physical monitor. This is what I do now.
Downsides: Additional cost to buy the KVM hardware, plus now you have to remember to keep your KVM software updated. Anyone who controls the KVM has equivalent physical access to the server, so keep it secure and off the public internet.
Thunderbird is back in active deleopmemt though, and not just as a maintenance project.
Gamevault is cool, but I wish they weren’t windows-only on the client side. Lutris integration would be excellent.
I wouldn’t think so. Isn’t bottles just an easier way to manage wine prefixes? If so, it doesn’t do anything to hide your Linux system from the executable.
Wine prefixes are not sandboxes. They are a way to separate the windows-level configuration for different programs (eg env vars, or drivers, etc).
Wine is a translation layer between a compiled windows binary and your Linux syscalls/libraries/device drivers/etc, nothing more.
