As imagens deste post são de um tema QML, chamado O2, que o Nuno Pinheiro anda a desenvolver. Partilho-as com a autorização dele, para que se possam babar tanto quanto eu me babei quando as vi. Mal posso ver a hora de o ver integrado no Plasma Desktop.
O Financial Times teve acesso a uma alegada nota interna da Comissão Europeia que visa expandir o “acesso legal direcionado” às comunicações eletrónicas encriptadas como forma de combate às redes de pedofilia, terrorismo e crime organizado. A intenção, de acordo com a nota, é incentivar a discussão entre os estados membros para os entraves que a encriptação coloca na investigação e condenação de criminosos. A nota contém alegadamente o seguinte, de acordo com o jornal norte-americano: ...
Lately, I’ve been having some problems when building picom-ibhagwan-git and picom-tryone-git. The first one would build OK, but not the second one. After a bit of debugging, I found out that it was a problem related to the way makepkg and git handle the cache when building these forks. This would also happen when adding the picom-git package: it would build because it’s the first package in alphabetical order and Jarvis builds the packages that way, but not the other two. ...
You might have noticed that Userrepository uses Cloudflare. I chose it for two main reasons: their ability to help mitigate (D)DoS attacks and to help hiding the IP address for the VM from script kiddies. It’s not that I think Userrepository will ever be a target for a (D)DoS attack, but better safe than sorry. Also, I have more than enough automated failed SSH authentication attempts without revealing the IP: 441 blocked _IP_s and counting for one fail2ban ssh rule and 2 for another fail2ban ssh rule. I intend to tighten these rules in the near future. ...
It took me a while to update you about the latest changes to my Arch and Arch-compatible Linux distributions repository. But first, let me apologize for the delay: work, personal life and, for about 3 weeks now, a horrible back pain (that just doesn’t stop, even with an handful of medication) have kept me from doing this in the time frame I expected. First on the “agenda”, I experimented with increasing the zstd compression level for the packages like I said I would do in my last post about the repository. The trade-off was not worth it: the increase in packaging time was far superior to the small decrease in package size. So, I’ll keep the zstd compression level to “-12” in the foreseeable future. ...
Caso tenham inserido os dados do vosso cartão de crédito, peçam o cancelamento da subscrição à VodMood através do endereço customersupport@vodmood.com Hoje de manhã, ainda não eram 8h30, a esposa recebeu um SMS de um número estranho (5819PT). Ela pediu-me para ver a mensagem porque está a aguardar a receção de documentação através de uma transportadora e queria saber o estado do envio. Quando vi a mensagem, reparei que o endereço é estranho e não é um que eu tenha visto ser usado pelos CTT ou alguma transportadora. Este endereço, ajoruc.com, é “coruja” escrito ao contrário e com um erro ortográfico. Isto pode ser apenas coincidência, mas fez-me desconfiar ainda mais. ...
Since the last post about my Arch (and Arch-compatible distributions) binary repository, I’ve added a few more packages. Some examples are the Mullvad VPN desktop client and nimdow, a window manager written in the Nim programming language. Or Emptty, an amazing display manager that I encourage you to try. Despite adding more packages, the compilation and compression time only had a small increase and I’m still below the 5 hour mark. And I’ve kept the zstd “-12” compression level. ...
Emptty is one of the newest additions to userrepository.eu and already a favorite of mine. This CLI Display Manager is blazing fast and offers a few configuration options. One of these options and my personal favorite is setting the MOTD, like the one you see on the post image. As far as I can tell, it only supports plain text and ANSI color escape codes. If the possibility for scripts arises, it can allow some really cool stuff. ...
Há alguns meses que não atualizava a minha lista de bloqueio, para adblockers, à merda do Nónio. Ela não me estava a dar problemas, por isso não senti necessidade de a rever. No dia 21 de junho, no entanto, um dos developers do uBlock Origin abriu um bug por causa dos tipos de regras usadas, bug esse que está relacionado com outro reportado no repositório deste adblocker. TL;DR: estava a misturar filtros estáticos com regras dinâmicas. ...
With no special order: Desktop environments and/or window managers plasma (to me, the best desktop environment for any free software operating system) i3wm (paired with picom [https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom] for transparency, blur and rounded corners) Terminal emulators konsole (I’ve grown very fond if this terminal emulator since I switched to the plasma desktop, and it has blur for the blings ;)) urxvt-unicode (with tabbedex, so I can have tabs with it) Text editors micro (my favorite and because it supports gui keybinds, although it’s a cli text editor) nano (simple and super useful, available by default in a lot of linux distributions) vim (I have a custom mode for writing markdown text) gedit (for when I need a text editor with a gui) Note taking qownnotes Browsers firefox (my favorite for around a decade and an half. I actually used the 0.x versions) chromium brave falkon Multimedia gimp (and a fork named glimpse) darktable lightzone (like darktable) jpegoptim optipng oxipng youtube-dl System tools htop gotop cat scat (for when I need to ‘cat’ a file with syntax highlight) less watch (I like to keep a pane opened on tmux with the hardware temperature [watch -n1 ‘sensors -A | egrep “edge|temp”’]) openssh dotdrop (for the dotfiles backup) tmux (I love this terminal multiplexer) tmuxinator (useful if you want to open tmux with any number of panes by default) broot (a cli file manager with vim-like keybinds and commands) fzf integrated with bash (because fuzzy search rocks) pacman (because I use EndeavourOS, basically Arch with a graphical installer) What about you? What are your tools of trade in a Linux system?
