+1 to cockpit. My entire network is domain managed and cockpit makes managing everything so much easier

Tell me then why it took years for them to add a horizontal rule (literally just a horizontal line). I’m not kidding, it was only added in the last few weeks. How do I know? I commented on the github issue about like 3 or 4 years ago (the issue was already multiple years old) and have been getting notifications every time someone asks for it. And finally like a week or two ago I finally got the notification that it was added.

Debian had corporate funding, even if they those corporations don’t have any ibfluence. It being one of the oldest and mostly widely used Linux distributions means that by the virtue of it being an enterprise-level system it is somewhat more corporate. Debian can neatly fit into most corporate and enterprise systems and probably is somewhere in almost everyone’s stack. That’s not bad and doesn’t make it a corpo distro, but it definitely is more “corporate” than something like Arch which it is rightfully juxtaposed against

I just finished the main quest in my first full survival playthrough (level 64 with Minutemen, BoS, and Railroad) and i make heavy use of settlements. Because of this, probably more than half my crashes come from Sanctuary as I’ve built heavily in the Triangle of Death.

Great story and gameplay, shit game.

It’s not that difficult to get SELinux working with podman quadlets, especially if you run things rootless. I have a kerberized service account for each application I host and my quadlets are configured to run under those. I very rarely encounter applications that simoky can’t be run rootless but I usually can find an adequate alternative. I think right now the only thing that runs as root is one of the talk or collabora containers in my nextcloud stack. No selinux issues either.

Ladybird is on the horizon.

Also Firefox isn’t built from the ground up I don’t believe. It’s based on Gecko which iirc was based on KHTML. idk i can’t fully remember don’t take this as fact. i use firefox and prefer it to chomium based browsers but Mozilla has been making really weird moves lately around AI that I think is very unnecessary.

Schools in the US often have a police officer on campus known as an SRO — a School Resource Officer. They’re about as useful as you’d expect from American police.

at least the positioning is being discussed in a wayland protocol, but its been heavily delayed due to wayland bureaucracy.

This is gonna take time but eventually we’ll see adequate replacements for smaller WMs like awesome. Especially because awesome is based on dwm, im hoping that as dwl (the wayland version of dwm) matures we’ll see projects like awesomewl come about.

are you using an nvidia gpu?

Large Wayland projects like KDE and Gnome that are considered member projects of Wayland had the ability to NACK new wayland protocols and proposals. This has historically been abused by a lot of a different projects, in many instamces Gnome because they didn’t want to implement things. A lot of wayland proposals were unnecessarily delayed because of this. The bylaws of how wayland projects are allowed to NACK things has since changed to make it so a single project cannot needlessly block protocols but this was only implemented in the past few years iirc so for a long time this happened. Thats a massive contributor to why wayland development takes so long.

i will say that wayland has solved a lot of multimonitor issues, although most games where i have monitor issues in my dual monitor setup can be fixed by ensuring the monitor i want to play on is at 0,0 on the layout. sone fames are weird about that

Thank you, it’s a lot of work and I could get by with a lot less but I’d like to essentially have enterprise level everything for me to just fuck around with and provide to friends as i see fit. It’s a bit if a hodgepodge of well implemented stuff stuck together with duct tape and bubblegum but im refining it slowly all the time.

I fr hate using AI to troubleshoot because I can feel how it makes me lazy, but sometimes using AI is better than banging my head against a wall for 10 hours. And usually i stop once I find a productive line of research or investigation to follow.

For local DNS i run FreeIPA since everything in my network is domain controlled. I’m gonna look into adding filtering through that, but we’ll have to see how it goes.

Theres so much I end up handling manually with my UDM that at this point i might rather just install open source routing software on it atp. I don’t even use the web UI for wireguard because I can’t even specify the allowed IPs for a connection.

I just turned off ad blocking. I can set up network wide filtering without relying on proprietary incompetence.

I’m not entirely sure how I want to run my ad blocking yet. I left adblocking on for the wifi subnet because I don’t mind it there, and I have ublock origin on my PC. I might use PiHole but my DNS on my network is actually managed by FreeIPA so making sure everything works properly there is paramount. I’m pretty sure I can do that easily but I need to test it to make sure my forward zones work as expected and nothing breaks.

Yeah I found some documentation from Ubiquiti afterwards that said all DNS requests would get proxied, although it didn’t mention it wouldn’t forward dynamic updates.

I did use dig, but I didn’t do a trace which probably would’ve been helpful. I just didnt anticipate that id be getting MITM by my own infra.
