Firefox and VM

I've been using Apparmor and Firejail to secure Firefox for the past few years. However, for sometime now I'm finding that Firefox profiles for one or the other do not appear to be maintained. Consequently I'm looking to move my use of Firefox to a VM. My dilemma is what OS to use for the VM. Alpi

PXE boot server

Recently acquired a HP 800 mini that I have setup and am using as a PXE boot server. At present I have Clonezilla and Parted Magic being served out. What other tools are others using that might be useful for a SOHO environment? I'm planning to shutdown my Raspberry Pi and move AdGuard over as well

PXE and PartedMagic

Trying to setup a PXE server in order to have some of my tools such as CloneZilla and PartedMagic available rather than use a flash drive. Client machine boots PXE and I am getting the PXE boot menu, but cannot get PartedMagic to boot. dnsmasq.conf looks like this: port=0 interface=eth0 dhcp-range

Docker

I"m looking to dip my toes into Docker for use on my home network. Reading up on what to consider for running atop the bare metal it seems like two of the most mentioned have been discontinued - CoreOS and RancherOS, and Atomic supposedly is not quite ready for production. At least according to som

Re: Anyone use Google Fi ??

I've been using it for a few years now and have been very happy with it. Spam filtering on phone calls and text messages is superior to the VZW / iPhone I carry for work. Monthly plan is similar to any other provider, maybe even a bit less. Steve On Thu, Nov 17, 2022, 12:21 joe--- via PLUG-discus

Conky neither forking to background or transparent

Finally found some time to sit down and rewrite my conkyrc file after they changed the format. However, I've been unable to get it to appear transparent and without window controls. Could someone with a bit more Conky knowledge point me to my errors? Current config: conky.config={ alignme

Handbrake, Flatpak and Pop OS

Recently I reinstalled Handbrake to Linux (Pop OS) hoping to start ripping DVDs again. Previously it was a deb package but it appears Handbrake has moved to Flatpak for Linux distribution. This version of Handbrake is not working for me and I'm struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. When

Pi-hole, Linux hosts file and local DNS

Is there a way to use Pi-holes local DNS functions to create entries for services on my local LAN? For example if Pi-Hole is at http://192.168.1.160/admin can i create something that has that full URL? The Linux hosts file limits me to the IP address and I'm looking for a way to have anything that

NFS/SMB and ransomware

Looking for some information regarding networked file systems and ransomware. If my understanding is correct, should a PC get infected with ransomware it can search out and encrypt NFS and SMB shares. Would it be correct to assume that in order to encrypt an NFS or SMB share they would have to be

Replacement fan for a Pi 3b+ POE hat?

I've been running Pi-Hole on my 3b+ for a while now. She's POE powered or was until recently. The POE hat still fires it up, but the little fan mounted to the top acts somewhat dead. When you first connect the Ethernet cable the fan briefly moves, but then nothing. Google did not appear to find a r

Re: Radeon card recommendations

I've been digging through some of the Arch and Gentoo documentation trying to get a handle on which of the older Radeon cards use the drivers built into the kernel. While they do a good job about telling me chipsets and GCN architecture, I'm still struggling to find a card. The Optiplex 9020 I own

Radeon card recommendations

Looking for some recommendations on a discrete graphics card for a Dell Optiplex 9020 and an HP z27S monitor. I'm moving to PopOS and would like to get the most out of the monitor. If 21.04 moves to Wayland I understand AMD is well supported whereas Nvidia does not support it. -

Editing firefox.desktop

Is it possible to edit the firefox.desktop file such that I can invoke "firejail --apparmor firefox -no-remote" as the default manner in which the application starts? If so can someone point me to a guide or provide me with an example? I'm having some difficulty finding a resource through Google.

Raspberry Pi uses on a home network

I've been offered a Raspberry P 3B+ with a POE hat, but am having difficulty deciding if I really need it. Currently the uses I can see for it within my home network are: 1. Ubiquiti controller (replacing a cloud controller); 2. Pi hole; 3. Tor relay node; 4. Asterisk server. Would appreciate som
