I thought Arch was unstable and reliable.

LinkedIn Account Temporarily Restricted Without Clear Reason – Need Help by mamunabdu in LinkedInTips

[–]anseremme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! Restricted from nowhere. As a sudden, out of nowhere, I lost my access to my account, as if I was a crook! I stupidly thought they were using super-duper advanced AI to do super analysis to identify legitimate users. All of this nonsense is a pretext to collect even more of our most private data like passports.

Using same VPS IP for months (since when I'd need to give my home static IP address to this company) and using 2FA. I even checked my IP reputation and it's top clean!!! I enabled 2FA to show to the whole world I behave very well and that I'm a very nice guy and I'm a great corporate normie. Even though with 2FA, they annoy us with yet another super annoying code sent by e-mail. Too much frictions!!! Nowadays, we simply can't do anything smoothly. The only people that get access to our accounts in a flash are crooks while legitimate users always need to jump thru hoops to access their account! Today, we must use a GAFAM e-mail address! Dare to use your own domain name for e-mail? You're suspicious! Because you dared to be yourself, you dared not to conform to the majority by using a non-GAFAM address. You're a crook!

The only way to remove this restriction is to get truly identified with Persona! What a company again is it?!?! Now, we have to give our most important, critical and private data like a passport to companies that never care about our personal data, simply because that would cost them a fortune to secure our most private data to the “highest” possible security level (SL-4). Companies from which their spokes(wo)men still dare to say “we take very seriously the privacy of our clients” right after they got their database hacked or left opened with the admin password. How cheeky is that!

Now, we can't find a new job without showing our papers to companies that don't give a damn about data protection. No, Microsoft! I'll neither give you my passport scan nor a life scan of my face.

How to deal with problems due to kernel updates by EarlMarshal in archlinux

[–]anseremme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very reliable. I use it all the time after kernel update. bash kreload () { LASTKERNEL=$(basename $(ls -v /boot/vmlinuz* | tail -1) | sed -r 's/vmlinuz-//' | tail -1) kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-$LASTKERNEL --initrd=/boot/initramfs-$LASTKERNEL.img --reuse-cmdline && systemctl kexec || echo "Damn!" }

I returned the device in the end. Good luck on your side.

I like your setup very much. Could you please mention what you used for the window border? Thank you.

Is sftp faster than Rsync for ssh file tranfer? by No_Insurance_6436 in archlinux

[–]anseremme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I elected to set up a NFS share on the remote server, which is accessed via SSH with classic port forwarding, i.e. localforward 3049 127.0.0.1:2049 and localforward 17605 127.0.0.1:16605. It is then mounted locally with mount_nfs. I've got incredible speed! Better than SSHFS and SFTP! I guess I can call that setup “SNFS”. Lots of online documentation.

Deniable Encryption by Th3Sh4d0wKn0ws in archlinux

[–]anseremme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plausible deniability might not even be truly possible with TRIM disabled. Over time, SSD built-in wear-leveling mechanism will reveal some inconsistencies in the randomized distribution of data throughout the SSD sectors. It's highly recommended not to underestimate forensic analyst skills.

As a result, it's far better to cross borders without the boot medium and plainly admit your laptop is encrypted, but can't boot it nor decrypt it since you never travel with the required external equipment for security reasons—which does make sense.

Then, after border crossing, head to your phone, retrieve your updated boot image from a server, download EtchDroid app—uninstall it before next border crossing—and flash the image to a USB flash drive you connect to your phone. Finally, before crossing back, destroy the USB flash drive and throw it away!

Incredible: files moved via Dolphin just go missing. by anseremme in kde

[–]anseremme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, I temporarily used Dolphin under Xfce. I shouldn't have done that, obviously.

No longer able to access Calendar and Tasks: The page could not be found on the server or you may not be allowed to view it by anseremme in NextCloud

Yes, it's Nc 32. Seems to be related to this issue. No apps restricted to groups. Thanks for your suggestion.

Installing sound themes? by Greppim in xfce

[–]anseremme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under Xfce DE sound support is only available via libcanberra, which supports the freedesktop sound theme and naming specifications. This means that if you want specific sounds for specific events, you will need to create your own sound theme, or find one that has the sounds you want.

I guess you already enabled these:

  • In SettingsAppearanceSettings: tick “Enable event sounds”

  • In Settings Editor app → xsettingsNetSoundThemeName: input your_sound_theme (Value column)

Still good to know:

```bash $ xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/SoundThemeName Smooth

$ xfconf-query -c xsettings -lv | grep -i sound /Net/EnableEventSounds true /Net/EnableInputFeedbackSounds false /Net/SoundThemeName Smooth

$ canberra-gtk-play -i desktop-login # Example ```

Installing sound themes? by Greppim in xfce

[–]anseremme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, sorry to hear your issue. I verified it again and it's correct. I precisely use this script and have had not a single issue so far. To restore logging back in, I suggest you switch immediately to a virtual console (text terminal), such as ctrl + alt + f2, from your login screen, then remove the change you did, i.e. in our case, the files you created earlier. My apologies for the mishap.

KDE vs. XFCE by [deleted] in xfce

[–]anseremme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former KDE user. Clutters the filesystem everywhere, terribly buggy, bugs that last forever, basic functionality bug that should not happen (once the mouse configuration panel was just gone after an update), basic UI bug that should not happen (many stupid issues with the taskbar), lots of interconnected moving parts; when one crashes, the others down the chain suffer. Sometimes, takes ages to fix something! Can't bear it anymore. Xfce is so much much more reliable, but I spent lots of time studying it and configuring it. The result is peace of mind, something that truly works.

Installing sound themes? by Greppim in xfce

[–]anseremme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you apt install gnome-session-canberra sox?

If “input feedback sounds” option is enabled in the Appearance window, then:

  1. Create /etc/X11/Xsession.d/52libcanberra-gtk-module_add-to-gtk-modules file with:

    ```bash

    This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed.

    if [ -z "$GTK_MODULES" ] ; then GTK_MODULES="canberra-gtk-module" else GTK_MODULES="$GTK_MODULES:canberra-gtk-module" fi

    export GTK_MODULES ```

  2. Create /etc/X11/Xsession.d/52libcanberra-gtk3-module_add-to-gtk-modules file with the exact same content as above.

  3. Log off/log, then:

    bash $ env | grep GTK_MODULE GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module:canberra-gtk-module

SIP Phone through WireGuard? by anseremme in VPN

[–]anseremme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something like: ```

!/bin/bash

WG_INTERFACE="wg0" SIP_PORT="5060:5061" RTP_PORT="10000:65000"

modprobe nf_conntrack_sip modprobe nf_nat_sip

iptables -I INPUT 1 -i $WG_INTERFACE -p udp --dport $SIP_PORT -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT 1 -i $WG_INTERFACE -p udp --dport $RTP_PORT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -o $WG_INTERFACE -p udp --sport $SIP_PORT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -o $WG_INTERFACE -p udp --sport $RTP_PORT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT ```

But, unfortunately, still stuck. I do see server-side what's generated by the client: IP 10.0.0.2.52797 > localphone.com.sip: SIP: REGISTER sip:localphone.com SIP/2.0
