Git repos have lots of write protected files in the .git directory, sometimes hundreds, and the default rm my_project_managed_by_git will prompt before deleting each write protected file. So, to actually delete my project I have to do rm -rf my_project_managed_by_git....
If you’re making backups of things you care about and not running sudo rm -rf the command isn’t really dangerous.
But +1 for having it in /tmp I have a bash function I call tempd that is basically cd $(mktemp -d) I use it so much for stuff I dont really care to keep.

Tailscale keeps the private keys locally, . It just facillitates setting up wireguard. They could steal your private keys, as could any program you install with root access. But it would comepletely destroy their business, and it’s open source. I really dont think they have anything to gain by tricking everyone

That’s really weird. I set up a test system and I couldnt reproduce. The only thing I noticed errors flooding dmesg about elogind already running when I enabled it following the docs. I guess sddm is already starting it?
I dont see how that would cause your issue though. I would probably just reinstall lol
Hello everybody! I can say I’m a newbie at Linux. Wanted to ask about Linux’ task viewers. On the famous task viewers such as bpytop, htop etc., can viruses hide from them? Excluding the injected codes, can virus & tracker/logger softwares hide from classic task viewers of Linux? Do they show all kinds of services and...
It also depends on the viewer. I remember using prctl() in C to chamge a process name and top showed my change but htop didn’t. I’m sure a competent malware writer would be able to trick it though

I want to own everything by...
You could try setting TimeoutStopSec=“infinity” for the service. There may be a default timeout for services and its killing rclone before it can finish because the oneshot type is considered “starting” until the program exits.
I’ve been using dnf5 for a few weeks now. I never want to go back. If you use fedora, seriously consider checking it out. The only thing I’m missing is the provides subcommand.
Yeah pretty much, but it’s wayyyy faster. There’s times where it feels like dnf is hanging trying to download metadata that’s 25KB. I have 1Gb down and it takes like 2 minutes, its ridiculous. I know in the grand scheme of things I’m being petty. But it’s frustrating when the metadata step takes longer than downloading 500MB of packages lol
I haven’t yet! Today I did a kernel update with it, I was kind of hoping something would go wrong so I would have a bug to report. But nope. Everything worked flawlessly. I’m not really sure how to break it but I’m going to try (in a vm lol)
I think librewolf scrubs most of that stuff out. I’m basing that off of using burpsuite’s proxy server though. On vanilla firefox it captures so much crap going out. I havent tried with wireshark though.
Found out the version of neovim on PopOS was fairly outdated, and I would like to use more recent versions. So I am confronted with these choices : Do I go for PPAs, or is distrobox fine for this purpose? While distrobox works well, I am worried that mismatches in packages could cause issues....
So I’ve messed up by not formatting my partitions on installation and now things are buggy, dbus returns permission denied on starting is one of the prominent bugs at the moment
I tried restarting portal, didn’t work. systemctl status for xdp did show an error for hyprland about a config file. But I’m running on sway mainly. I just tried out different DE’s to see if anything changed.

What the title basically says. Is there a way to read the startup logs of my OS (running openSUSE tumbleweed)? There are some errors while starting my system but can’t read them since they are scrolling too fast.
From mozilla. I’m guessing that the links were hosted/owned/etc. by google. When your system resumed it only partially loaded the sponsored links and you were left with the text of the url.
Your system is fine security wise, but privacy wise pinging google servers everytime you open a new tab is not ideal. This type of stuff is why I use Librewolf. Of course it’s up to you how much it bothers you. You can disable alot in vanilla firefox too.
Install clamav and run a scan. You will probably get false positives.
For instance the gnome polkit agent has a “malicious” image that it tries to load at start and if it succeeds it kills the program before it can run. This is to keep an actually malicious icon from being used. I spent days on that one lol

I have zero experience with SteamOS but Gnome Boxes uses a qemu usermode networking that doesn’t let you access the guest the way you want to.
I would trying using virt-manager (gui for libvirt). It lets you use a bridge as the network interface and for vm gets a proper IP and can communcate on the network like any other computer
