Got the honors to help testing LittleFedi, an #opensource project by @nprofile…vf35 and a very interesting one!
Why? Small, focused, no clutter, simplicity, easy to use. Also, Stefano is a great person and used the feedback he received to make it even better.
If you want to set up your own Fediverse instance, then this might be the one to start (and stay).
So do follow @nprofile…dp0k and visit the website https://littlefedi.org/ for more information.
🔁 Spread FOSS and great projects ❤️

I think #OpenBSD has one of the easiest methods to update (important) system updates. Just run syspatch and reboot.
Simplicity has many benefits and I think OpenBSD is one that clearly shows this.

Is there a name for this nasty action, like command hijacking? I remember when you shared this story and immediately thought about the frustration it must give you. I have a slightly different one: one of the #Lynis packages contains extra non-official tests. Users complain sometimes about them and there is nothing I can do to help them 😬

🧰 The 'column' command is a great (and often overlooked) tool.
It creates structured output of data and turns it into columns, hence the name. It makes it easier to understand the data and its values. Great for CSV and data files.
💡 You already might have the command on your system, as it usually is installed on #Linux, #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and others.
What other commands would you recommend for dealing with data?
If you like the effort I'm putting into these tips, please get them far 🔁 🚀

I shared it before, but think that #littleFedi is a better Mastodon experience. In fact, soon we have to find an alternative icon for our websites (instead of the Mastodon icon) 🤯 Maybe we already need a more generic Fediverse icon?
For example: the attention for the little things, like displaying the alternative text under an image.
Why littleFedi? Lightweight, useful options, no feature creep 😍
Can't say it enough: @nprofile…vf35 (and team), you can be proud on this nice work and keep doing it.

Need to know what day a specific date is? Meet the 'cal' command 🧰
This little nifty tool is typically preinstalled on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and others.
💡 Without a parameter it shows you the current month
💡 Use -m or -M to start the weekday on a Monday
💡 Give it a year to see the full year
Fast, clear, and no distractions 😎

💡 New to OpenBSD and wondering what fw_update does?
No, it does not update your firewall 🔥 😉
The fw_update tool can be used to download additional firmware, such as a driver that is not by default available in the installation (often due to its license).
You can perform a dry-run to see what it already has and what it would do.

FreeBSD has a great way of monitoring IO (input/output) with the help of the top command.

🧠 Did you know?
You can run the top command in "batch mode" and have it stop after gathering information once.
Great for getting information and sorting it, for example by processes consuming the most memory.
Could be a useful alias if you need it more than once.
This also works for the BSDs, but with slightly different options.

The world of mechanical pencils is a strange one. I wanted a specific model by Staedtler, a German brand. So I thought that would be easy, being located in the neighboring country. Apparently some models are made in Japan, including this one. Maybe it needed an even higher standard of manufacturing? Or that their market is better tailored to it?
Anyways, I am a fan of German and Japanese quality, so having that combined works for me.

My presentation clicker was full with a sticky residue. Some plastics are known for this. Probably some manufacturers know this and use this as #plannedObsolence 🥹
To clean:
- Bowl with warm water
- Add baking soda to the water
- Remove accessories like batteries
- Rub the soda water with your fingers
- Now and then clean surface with a rag that has no loose fibers (e.g. old t-shirt)
- Repeat last two steps
No more throwing away sticky appliances and devices 👌

Thanks!
You could consider a hybrid approach: start with hosting the incoming e-mail yourself and send out via a relay server. When all is running as expected, start sending out some mails via your own server and test deliverability.
So far I have not experienced delivery issues, for example with a custom relay server that runs for 10+ years now.

Sometimes things come together nicely. I decided on my personal website (POSSE, IndieWeb) plus Mastodon to replace LinkedIn. But, there is another contender that might be a great addition to that combinaton: Nolto.

If you live in or outside Europe, this is the time to stop using X, LinkedIn, and decrease your dependence on other #BigTech.
Reduce those subscriptions, buy music, and start (writing on) your own blog (again). Avoid #AI, invest in people that do good work, and pay them fairly.
Switch to European alternatives that care about ethics, privacy, and healthy business.

With more Fediverse instances being deployed daily, a new problem might emerge or become visible: accidental DDoS.
If you post a link, each instance that sees the message, will fetch the URL in the message. Not a problem if you have a static website. However, if you already have a slow host, then it suddenly gets to deal with hundreds of requests in a short amount. And with more instances being deployed, the risk might only increase.

This is why I have rate-limits configured in nginx. After you hit the rate-limit and don't back down (and keep causing HTTP/429), you get a lovely auto-block.
I also block all requests without the Accept-Encoding header.
When it comes to bandwidth, it is too easy to waste resources of others 😕

@nprofile…sr9k that's a crazy story, thanks for sharing!
It reminds me of a developer team I encountered at a Fortune 500 company, that was hammering our NAS servers due to a bad configuration on their end. They started screaming that we should fix the NAS, even after showing them proof that it was just a handful of badly configured servers which they "managed" and that the fix was easy: fix your own stuff. But then the array() of excuses came why they couldn't... Fortunately, no health issues 😃

Need to get just the file name of a path? Then 'basename' is a great utility to implement in your shell scripts to quickly and reliably find the 'last' part. Works for directories, file names, and has the ability to also strip any file extension. Being part of the coreutils package, chances are very high that it is already installed.

For a while I was wondering why some clients kept requesting old images on the blog.
Did I forget to update them in the articles? Nope.
Are they linked from one of my pages? Nope.
Last week I discovered that there are huge image data sets, probably for machine learning, #AI, and other purposes. So many images are being pulled in on a regular basis (and bandwidth wasted), without benefiting an actual visitor.
How did I discover this thing? User-Agent: https://github.com/rom1504/img2dataset

2024-12-24 18:53:57 UTC

Another part of the #blog cleanup: removing categories that are not used that much. Tidying up the blog a little bit more, so that in the new year the search engines and crazy #AI bots can index the whole set a little bit easier. I believe there is also a #SEO benefit, so that's a bonus.
That being said, things on https://linux-audit.com/ should stabilize now after all those cleanups and rewrites. In the upcoming months the focus will be on adding new content pages.

@nprofile…h77u @nprofile…e8p2 I guess because I was once very active with DNS (configuration) and then suddenly not for many years. Your book would have definitely helped me in 2002 😂

@nprofile…h77u That's a great suggestion for this article. Will add it right away.
I used dnsmasq multiple times over the years, so I do know it. What I did not know is your book. Also, never saw a colon sign in URL, besides in the protocol part. So thanks for making me a little bit smarter again 😀

Is your /etc/hosts file healthy? Surprisingly I came across multiple systems over the years with errors in it. Typically discovered with audit tool Lynis.
Just updated a related blog post: https://linux-audit.com/is-your-etc-hosts-file-healthy/

Units in systemd have their own set of configuration settings. Working now on an overview of all these settings and their purpose. #linux #devops #systemd

Feedback, thoughts, and boosts welcome 🤏

And could you then, with the created curl tool, also make a request to the curl enterprise? #fullcircle

If you are into #rss, this looks like a great tool to turn websites without a feed, into one: https://rsspls.7bit.org/
Creative and might come in handy one day.

As the author of #lynis I can answer this one!
It is -also- suitable for distributions that you run at home. From server to desktop, from a minimal container up to a full install.

With date formatting you can extract the year from a date. Not fully sure yet what you like to output without an example or code.

With #systemd 256 the run0 command became available. So time to test it out. So far, I like it. Well done @npub19la…hm4g !

Totally missed this news about Keybase: https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-joins-zoom
As I have a very negative experience with Zoom when wanting to cancel my subscription, I will never ever use their products again. If Keybase remains part of Zoom, then this one will be in hibernation for me. What a shame, it was a promising app.

I thought immediately it could be useful for cache busting.

Was already looking at the software you are using. But I am not familiar with it (I use #hugo for linux-audit.com).

Cool. Always good when more people share their thoughts and experiences with #linux.

Firefox: to browse
KeePass/Bitwarden: storing passwords
Editor (vim/nano or notepad): to store notes
Lynis: scan your system for security and learn Linux along the way
Oh right, one ☺️

Nice! What is the weirdest place that you found curl in/at/on?
