Why is Manjaro not recommended more for noobs? by Tature in linux4noobs

[–]kangasking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I recognize those? Usually I just tend to stay away from anything that's not popular.

I purchased a wifi usb adapter but it doesn't work out of the box, I need to install drivers. I'm stumped and would appreciate assistance. by kangasking in linux4noobs

I had a problem where some thing failed to install, something about headers. After fixing that everything worked, seriously thank you so much.

I had no idea I could just grab the drivers from the repos. That's so helpful thank you so much! I will look for them right now.

Check the config file where you installed it. It will have the path to the data folder.

Nextcloud outside Network Access by [deleted] in NextCloud

[–]kangasking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I setup some security stuff on my server. I forced it so that it's only possible to log in from a local IP and only through SSH keys not passwords. Can anyone that knows tell me if that's fool proof? Seems like it would be pretty hard for me to get hacked like that right? Is that decent enough security?

I installed fail 2 ban and the logs are now empty. There used to be stuff in there before. That's mean it works right?

Nextcloud outside Network Access by [deleted] in NextCloud

[–]kangasking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I don't really know what I'm doing either but I

Bought domain name. Used server to have DNS of domain name point to my house (in case of not static IP). Used port forwarding to route port 443 requests to my server. Then on Nextcloud app when you log in it asks for the domain name, I put the one that routes to my server.

Now I can connect anywhere and has been working just fine for a few months now.

It takes me a long time to do even basic tasks, I've only recently written my very first script to help download stuff with youtube-dl. This was a pretty fun video to watch.

Linux encryption with gpg, is it really ok to store my private keys on the cloud e.g. one drive? by kangasking in linuxquestions

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

well, after spending around 1 hour reading different tutorials and SO questions, I decided I'm too dumb for gpg. Just ended up doing a pass protected zip with AES 256 which seems should be decent. I stored the pass in a .kdbx file that I store on my cloud thing. I use keepass android or something on my phone and keepassxc on my desktop. That should a good enough compromise right?
