Snapper is officially better than Timeshift.
Timeshift has issues with /boot being on a different partition which prevents restoration due to kernel version mismatch.
Here's the packages needed for a good snapper setup;
>Pacman: grub-btrfs inotify-tools snapper snap-pac
>AUR: btrfs-assistant btrfsmaintenance snap-pac-grub snapper-rollback
>Add to end of HOOKS+=(grub-btrfs-overlayfs)
This setup will take snapshots before every update, and also allows you to boot into read only snapshots as if they were a live USB stick.

Setup for an existing @snapshot subvolume:

sudo umount /.snapshots
sudo rm -rf /.snapshots
sudo snapper -c root create-config /
sudo btrfs subvolume delete /.snapshots
sudo mkdir /.snapshots
sudo mount -a #assumes you already have mount options for @snapshot in your fstab
sudo chmod 750 /.snapshots
sudo chown root:wheel /.snapshots
sudo sed -i "s/^TIMELINE_CREATE=.*/TIMELINE_CREATE=\"no\"/" /etc/snapper/configs/root #turns off automatic snapshots every X hours/days

Also if boot is on a different partition (MUST BE BTRFS):
>sudo snapper -c boot create-config /boot
>sudo sed -i "s/^TIMELINE_CREATE=.*/TIMELINE_CREATE=\"no\"/" /etc/snapper/configs/boot #turns off automatic snapshots every X hours/days

Rollback:
>snapper list
>snapper-rollback <snapshot number>

>>102571441
To add to this; The modern standard is to keep /boot on the / root partition while using a separate FAT32 /efi partition as ESP. (Minimum 36MB)
This has the added bonus of being able to both encrypt /boot (with GRUB+LUKS2) as well as easily snapshot /boot along with the rest of the system.

How do I proxy specific programs, like mpv+yt-dlp?
I use foxyproxy in my browser, but I don't know how to proxy specific programs. It's important for me not to proxy the whole system but only specific programs.
I know that a lot of things that work with the internet have configs for proxy, but it would be nice to have one centralized solution with a blacklist/whitelist.

>>102574260
Right now it's writen in some crusty Python GTK bindings AFAIR so anything is an improvement, but the current interface design does a great job at exposing all its features in a simple manner. Surprised how advanced their partitioning and networking sections are for something you're supposed to click through. I hope they don't dumb it down too much.
I was fearing they were ditching it for the overrated Calamares, which is barely better than Ubuntu'a cause it has less clutter.

>>102574309
The intended use case for proxies is programs connect to them on an individual basis. Which mpv and yt-dlp can if you read the manual. There are programs which map a tun adapter to your proxy so you can use network namespaces or user firewall rules to effect a 'system proxy', but you're far better off using a VPN for that.

What you absolutely don't want to do is install some ebpf abuse crap like opensnitch and try to force traffic through a tun adapter hooked up to a proxy on a process name basis.

>>102574567
>try to force traffic through a tun adapter hooked up to a proxy on a process name basis.
That sounds like a terrible idea. You can probably do it more reliably with CGroups though.

Really though the solution is to do what they do in the enterprise and use the proxy for everything and configure a pac file with rules for what should and shouldn't be proxied but not everything accepts pac files. Browsers and anything using libproxy should though.

>>102574839

It's a bug in Firefox, possibly your GTK cursor size is different to everything else.

Dolphin

>>102573666
No. Concurrent operations from multiple threads on a single file descriptor are atomic relative to each other up to a small system-specific size, but without ordering guarantees, which will fuck you up unless your data format can deal with that. Write-ahead logging is an example of it.

Use mutexes and organize your code to minimize use of them. And never use spin locks (or spin lock "optimized" mutexes) for I/O, you're going to make syscalls anyway. You can make use of io_uring to reduce those at the cost of complexity.

Then you can't print. That's the only reason I have cups on my system in the first place otherwise I'd just disable it globally.

It's really sad and ironic that something like Google Cloud Print is probably more secure than CUPS (privacy issues aside).

>>102575870
Not like this issue won't be solved soon, not printing for a few days is not gonna hurt most people.
Claiming there is no mitigation though was totally off.

I'm getting this error trying to run a keygen in bottles. Any solutions?

>>102576632
Only heard about it today, looks pretty good.

I'm currently downloading MacOS to try and run it in a VM on Linux

I might need to buy more RAM to be honest but I'll see how it goes

>>102576725
Running macOS in a VM is a bit tricky because of a whole bunch of terminal prep you need to do to the container so that the macOS ISO even boots into the installer. Hopefully you've read/watched up.

>>102576369
or if you let a guest connect to your network with a compromised device
or if police forced you to give up your phone at the airport and you get home and connect it to your network
or if you're running an exploitable IoT device somewhere
you shouldn't rely on just a single line of defense

>>102576645
Installing vcrun2022 and dotnet8 usually solves all bottle problems.

>>102576752
There's a thing called quickemu which is meant to make it easy so I'm trying that

The reason I want to run MacOS in a VM is to see if I can compile iOS apps (this requires MacOS). So my first step is just seeing if I can get MacOS running.

>>102576792
Literally none of those are attack vectors with this you retard.

Thank you!

>no full 32bit app support, only 10.14 and later
dang, it's a nothingburger for me. i need high sierra and support to move the vm to windows

how would i be able to use discc to use my main computer as a slave to my raspbian raspberry 4b?
I tried the arch wiki distcc but the tool chain is creating invalid elf files on the test (Hellow world) on the pi
I have distcc setup,as in the pi sends it to the main computer it compiles it and sends it back but the file is 64bit and not aarch64

Correct I used Quickemu, it's definitely very easy to use, although I guess if you want specific Mac features then a real Mac is going to be easier

>>102579100
nah mate, a real mac is a hassle to use actually. if you have to use os x, create a hackint0sh. but the gay ceo switched to arm lately, dunno what applefaggots do nowadays. i guess they're fucked

>>102579232
Basically I have an idea for an iOS app, I already worked on it a bit. I realised though that even if I virtualise MacOS to compile the app, Apple will probably tell it's not a real Mac when I submit the app, and they might ban my account. So maybe a cheap Mac, just to build and submit the app, might make sense.

I'm feeling the urge to hop

>>102579260
Didn't follow the convo, but there are services out there where you can rent a mac on a farm somewhere and RDP in.

gnome or kde?

>>102579287
Xfce is the sane choice

>>102579260
Don't you need a developer account or some shit anyway?

>>102575652
How can I safely update files being served by Nginx?

>>102578584
xfs has reflink (thin data copies) and dynamically allocated metadata as an advantage over ext4 and similar to btrfs. It's a good choice if you don't want to do data checksums for performance or power reasons, or if integrity is outsourced to something like hardware RAID or SAN.

>>102579388
It's unlikely you'll have issues just live replacing a file, nginx will stat the file and detect changes only as soon as it's sync'ed.
If you need to swap an entire tree consider switching the root or try_files in the virtual host. You can automate it with configuration fragments and include, just issue a reload when the new tree is in place.

>>102579260
rent a mac VPS to which you connect via VNC

you will own nothing, either with a real mac or a rented vps mac. idk if you're going to be happy, lol

good insider joke

>>102578889
when using distcc, whatever you're trying to compile needs the proper cflags or other makeflags set tailored specifically for the rpi and cant just use -march=native

>>102579260
You can either use qemu on a better machine with passthrough an amd gpu or you can try using whatever the project is called where people try to run macos on unsupported regular machines
Theres a few hacks online for setting up a proper verified apple account in a vm or other unsupported system

>>102579675
Yes i read that,i wasnt using -march=native beforehand.
And i dont have anything special in CC or CCX or LDflags

>>102578889
that's because the compiler on your desktop is setup for amd64 builds, you need a cross-compiler to build foreign binaries

>>102579287
If i had to pick one, Plasma, because it integrates better with 3rd party apps. You can make GTK, Electron and Java apps look reasonable alongside Qt within Plasma. Good luck doing that with GNOME. The massive title bars you can't hide will stop you.

>>102579456
sounds like its better to stay on ext4 if one doesnt want or need the features of btrfs instead of trying to settle on a middleground with xfs

>>102579734
Yes i downloaded the pi aarch64 64 bit tool chain and on the distcc on the arch machine its in the environments path file to the bin directory

>>102579287
KDE

>>102579751
xfs is generally faster than ext4, so it's not the middle ground. The only thing that justifies ext4 in a desktop context is shrink.

>>102579819
does xfs have the same durability ext4 has when it comes to recovering from a system crash?
does it also do journaling?

any KDE users know how to force software cursor? hardware cursor plane doesn't seem to behave with VRR.

>>102579456
>>102579819
So it uses more RAM or there's some other catch? Why didn't it became the norm?

>>102580039
xfs is much more durable than Ext4. Ext4 still zeros out and truncates dirty write pages if your system crashes.
Ext4 is a mid filesystem and it's still easy for people to have weird configurations of it, like 32bit inodes (lol) and other funk. modern distros will ship with sane defaults in mkfs.ext4 at least, but still.

also Ext4 has weird behavior like implicit sync on rename() over file, which, while nice I guess, gives you a false sense of knowledge and ability if you use a different fs. I really would avoid ext4 unless you really must use it for some insane reason. Really the only thing it has over XFS is shrinkability and btrfs can do that as well and is much less shitty than ext4.

sup red hat shill

>>102580159
it's the norm on EL distros, but Redhat also hired basically every XFS maintainer and contributor, so it's hard to know if it's just baby duck or sincere knowledge of its supremacy.
Fedora on the other hand defaults to Btrfs because it's basically the YOLO of filesystems in terms of flexibilit and use-cases.
>>102580265
>no argument cuck
many such cases.

>>102580271
Redhat uses xfs over btrfs as the default because they dont have any btrfs engineers, that's the only reason.

>>102580297
Sad! I really think Btrfs btfos LVM2 + XFS bullshit by a lot. LVM copes like DM thin provisioning is pathetic. I kek how Redhat is pushing stratis as some kind of Btrfs competitor.

>>102580234
>I really would avoid ext4 unless you really must use it for some insane reason.
This makes no sense, every distro especially the noob-friendly ones wouldn't default to ext4 for such a long time if it wasnt good and if a better filesystem existed. Btrfs has only started getting pushed recently last year by fedora because they think its mature and stable enough. There's still niche issues that happens with btrfs that doesnt happen on ext4 like the bittorrent COW issue, the qcow2 COW issue and also how the filesystem can slow down and become unresponsive when disk usage gets close to full.

>>102580350
I don't care what retard distros do, retard. Ext4 is a low quality filesystem. Period.

If you want to refute what I said, do so. Btrfs works and is only problematic if you don't know what you're doing, which is true in general with Linux.

>>102580159
End-user focused distros place a lot of weight on being able to shrink. That's why Fedora used to run ext4 by default instead of xfs like RedHat. Also its tooling is mad crusty from corporate Unix heritage and tends to hit lusers when they're already in bad situations. Which results in much saltposting.

>>102580297
A lot of, probably most, RedHat deployments have high level block storage where btrfs is undesirable. Also xfs utterly buttfucks btrfs in postgres and sqlite performance, which are big RedHat use cases.

I've encountered an edge case at work where I need microsoft excel. It's for an .xlsm file with macros.

How the hell do I get excel to work on l00nix?

Tell whoever sent you that shit that you won't even touch it with a ten-feet pole.

I use ext4 and I see nothing wrong with it

so let's say I have an FDE OS running.
I login(decrypt) to do some stuff. Then the power goes out or I hold the power button down until it shuts off.
What happens now? Could something like this break the encryption?
Is the system unusable now because it's couldn't encrypt itself probably before shutting down?
Or is just completely open now without any need of typing in a passphrase? like is it now in a state where you could break the encryption more easily?

Can't tell if the recent 555 update, any Proton update or me adding shit to /etc/environment is the cause, but shit just won't launch anymore
The shit I added to environment was some GL shit that was allegedly gonna make it so I don't need to shut down my other monitors to get full framerate of my main monitor. I don't know if that screwed up something with GL or Vulkan.

End of the Proton log for the game that says it has launched but almost immediately closes:

No. Unencrypted data only exists in memory. Everything that gets written to disk is encrypted.

fuck windows amirite guys
high five me

>>102580622
when you mount a decrypted volume, what happens, put simply, is that the volume key is copied to ram, your passphrase decrypts the volume key, still only in ram, and the volume key is used to decrypt data as it's accessed from the disc. that is, when you read a block, the encrypted block is read into ram, decrypted and placed back in ram. reverse when writing. at no point is unencrypted data written to disc, even temporarily
if there's a power loss, any decrypted data you had open or unlocking keys you had entered will be erased almost immediately, since it's all in dram, which can't hold data without power (the "almost" is intentional, if you want to know what that's about, look up "cold boot attack", this is only something you need to worry about if there's literally a fed standing behind you)

>>102577794
>Still can't name one
You're embarrassing yourself

>>102580733
Except Fedora, RHEL and clones, and SUSE off the top of my head. ext4 on desktop is a product of the Debian midwit engagement complex.

>>102580621
case sensitivity. It's a shit concept. 4chan is the same as 4CHAN. A man named Michael is still michael or MICHAEL.
Case sensitivity is retarded, things can exist twice just because a indicator (the name) is different. It even allows you to get pwnd more easily. If you run Ls instead of ls, that would execute another program.

Maybe you see something wrong with that now.

But as far as I know, it needs a recompiled kernel for that, which would mean no easy live-cd booting in order to debug stuff.

Night clubs are crammed with pussy.

>>102580804
>case sensitivity.
Is fine. Insensitivity should be handled at a higher level. I don't know about you but I don't want the kernel handling Unicode or ANSI codepages.

>>102580902
Data is the basis of every computing system, so I'd say it should be handled at the lowest level. Data is the foundation of everything computer.

>>102580889
If your live-cd doesn't have it supported you need a live-cd that isn't like 10 years old.
You'd probably want that for the hardware support anyway.

>>102580956
Brilliant idea. Next, let us put the graphics stack in the kernel so it can render truetype fonts and icons entirely by itself. I propose calling it Linux NT.

>>102580989
Visuals ain't data. The graphics can be altered by even the monitor in use, e.g. the brightness of pixels is out of control for the computer. Makes no sense to be in the kernel.

>>102580972
I haven't tested that, admittedly. It's just what I read online.

the only other people who are scared of case sensitivity stuff like that are phoneposters who get cucked by their keyboard auto capitalizing the first letter at the start of every sentence

>>102581104
Yes, 5-10 years ago things were different. This is technology. In current year there aren't a lot of desktop use cases where ext4 makes sense.

So is it "scared from computers" or "scared by computers"? Asking for an autistic friend to whom this is a real important matter.

Hello anons, so apparently Ubuntu did something to restrictions to AppImages which is causing me some minor inconveniences but I can't seem to find a good long term solution. So far I've just been running trusted appimages with --no-sandbox, besides turning off the feature (which will turn back on the next reboot) is there anything else I as an enduser can do? Link is a topic of someone talking about it, along with the command to turn it off in case I'm not being clear enough

Thank you, do you mind explaining what the second one does? I'm unfamiliar with the Tee command. google search says it writes to a file. I imagine you're writing to some kind of systemfile so I just want to do my due diligence and at least ask before I run it

File a bug on bugs.kde.org KWin running on an up-to-date Arch system shouldn't have any issues.

You could also try different Wayland compositors to compare against.
