This is what I do, for the sake of the argument. I never touch client configuration on anything; the router is the boss. Much easier that way in my experience.

Good point. I mainly use syncthing as a "stuff I need on multiple machines" bucket, rather than a big directory of active working files. Think more along the lines of "I saved this PDF on my PC but I'll need it on my phone tomorrow so it goes into the Special Folder" kind of use case. As such it might not be the right fit for "synchronise a file system" use case.

If you're going to compile Firefox for hardening reasons, you should do the same with rust, since the former depends on the latter to build. Regarding libreoffice, I think it depends on where you're sourcing the documents from. If you never have to open a document from an unknown or untrusted source, then it might not matter.

When you built docker, did you get any feedback from Portage about missing or incorrectly set kernel configuration options? Docker has a strict list of things that it expects to be set (and not set) in your kernel configuration, and portage should let you know what it isn't happy about (at least it did in the past for me before correcting my configs) when you emerge it. Additionally, what USE flags do you have set for app-containers/docker?

It was acknowledged in the mask commit that we would lose access to some other packages because of this deprecation, but that's again an upstream issue rather than a Gentoo one. Gentoo is favoring security by masking 7.4, but you can always override it as you see fit for your system(s).

The real answer, that I suspect you're looking for, is no. There's no custom software required in almost any case. Most commercial VPNs are based on OpenVPN. They might publish their own client, but it is just a dolled-up (non-free) wrapper around OpenVPN. All of the real work is done in a configuration file. If you sign up for an account, they will provide you with a set of credentials, and a configuration file that will connect you to one or more of their endpoints. You can drop that configuration file right into /etc/openvpn/ and go. The provider I use (omitted to avoid any pretense of shilling) provides a dozen or so different "exit" points in the US. I keep configuration files for a handful of them so I can switch at will (via a simple shell script) in case one stops working or I need to switch locations for whatever reason.

Or your company forcibly converts emails to HTML so that it can apply a signature, and you have no say in the matter. Like mine. So I write HTML mails from the get-go so I can have a (better) chance to ensure they are formatted correctly.

For the reason that you just demonstrated for the class: HTML emails. Now, your simple mail shows just fine in a plain text only mail client, but in my world, and I'd wager most people's world, handling HTML messages (which includes CSS for legibility) is a necessity to some varying degree.

Re: [gentoo-user] ip_change_notifier - empty IP address
Not quoting anything because I'm just making a general reply, to the general problem that you're generally trying to solve. Generally. You really should be using DNS for what you're trying to do, one way or the other. Reverse DNS, when set up properly, will always return the appropriate IP address for you. If this isn't achievable (I might scoff at a few dollars a year for a domain but others might not), then you should still be using DNS as a protocol, for both speed and reliability reasons. OpenDNS provides this a free service. dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com If you still don't want to use DNS for whatever reason, there are services that are designed for infrastructural reliability for this, namely: icanhazip.com [1] Since 2021 icanhazip is hosted by Cloudflare, and regardless of how you feel about CF as a company, the service is designed for speed and reliabilty for this exact purpose. 1: https://major.io/p/a-new-future-for-icanhazip/

Dynamic DNS is what you want. Example: I have a subdomain set up (whatever-i-feel-like.mydomain.tech) and some software to update it. Of course, this is dependent on a combination of 1) software and 2) service that is supported by the software. In my case, I use OpnSense and their dynamic client updating my DNS on Namecheap using an API key. Perhaps someone has a more simple/elegant solution, but mine required no change of software or service and it is extremely reliable.

I might make use of cfg-update from time to time after all. I usually try not to edit any files that are 'managed' by packages, but sometimes it is unavoidable (eg. no thing.conf.d directory support), so I wind up having to either accept the change and then re-edit it, or zap the change and allow the file to get stale as the package is updated, leading back to the first scenario regardless.

Yes in the sense that a rouge piece of software or a bad human actor could execute `pass $path` and acquire the given secrets, so long as the gpg-agent is holding the provided password. No in the sense of that the file itself (remember pass stores individual files for each secret) is still encrypted at rest. That is to say, unless someone or some software is specifically looking for gpg-encrypted files and knows how to use gpg or pass, they cannot access the data. The original point I was trying to make (in the previous message) is that usability and security are always going to compromise one another, and it is up to each of us to decide where the right balance lies. Since I don't consider local malware a legitimate threat, my concerns are limited to bad human actors. Working from home, and locking my computers when leaving them, gpg-agent being unlocked for eight hours after the start of the work day is sufficient security. People who use gnome-keyring (myself included!) probably don't think twice about the fact that the keyring gets unlocked *once* and stays unlocked until the user's session ends. Heck some of my sessions can last *months* on some machines. Sure, most of us have rigged it up to use a pam library, but the the situations parallel. The access agent is still "unlocked" for long periods of time, while the data on disk remains encrypted at rest.

Since pass, the utility that OP is using in their script, is built around GPG, of course there have been some spinoffs, using other encryption methods. Personally setting the gpg-agent timeout higher and having good physical security works for my use case, but everyone has a different situation. If I worked in an office still, I think I would have a physical GPG-based key solution, though I will admit I'm not read up on which ones are the tops right now. Efe, it may be useful to review the pass mailing list archives[1] for some other ideas.

I don't have any thoughts on the pam module, but I make use of some scripts that rely on pass as well. For my use case I just raised the TTL setting of gpg-agent to match an eight hour work day or eight hour evening period and ran with it. Feels fairly natural to "log in" to the agent once a day at the first use. Disclaimer: I work from home and lock my computers when I'm away from them.

How many torrents are you seeding, for a point of comparison?

Maybe qbittorrent just doesn't scale well? I feel like I'm on the exceedingly-high end of the spectrum with usage of a torrent program, but I don't know what everyone else is doing.

Anecdote time from a fellow XFCE user. I previously fought against having gnome-keyring and eventually gave up, since more and more things wanted to use it. Now, I find it quite useful. Lots of GTK applications (and XFCE is GTK based) want to use gnome-keyring, and between evolution, dbeaver, nheko, and others, it has become a benefit (to me) rather than an annoyance. If you decide to give it a try, app-crypt/seahorse is a useful companion application for managing the keyring's contents. > > Should not this instruction say emerge --pretend --depclean rather > than --unmerge ?

I went with rust-bin because lots of GTK programs (evince, gimp, deluge) as well as some other miscellaneous utilities rely on librsvg which requires rust. So, since I need rust anyway, I just use the bin version to save effort, but still build firefox from source in order to disable anti- features like EME.

[gentoo-user] dev-lang/perl upgrade failure
I can't figure out why a perl update isn't building. This is only happening on one single machine out of the half dozen Gentoo systems I have running. I've never had issues building perl itself either. Modules sure, but never the main perl package. My search-fu is failing me as well, apparently, so I turn to y'all.

I think you probably depcleaned it at some point since then, so there are no more sources there. Suggest updating your symlink to the version you have installed.

The point is still the same though, packages that require dmd have to be specified which version of the compiler to use.

I've had more problems with the pkg.installed state than any other single thing in Salt. If you states don't need to be extended to other platforms, you could just resort to cmd.run again. Seems you're already doing that with emaint anyway.

I've never used a gentoo system with salt stack, but I had a thought. Salt can be picky with package names sometimes. Try specifying the package name this way, with the repository explicitly specified: dev-python/confluent-kafka::guru

[gentoo-user] eudev/udev changeover: a warning to Linode customers
If you have a Gentoo machine running on Linode, take care to note that the eudev => udev changeover requires some manual intervention before the next reboot. You will need to DISABLE the network autoconfiguration option for the VM, and edit /etc/conf.d/net to specify the new, 'predictable' network interface name. This is because Linode's network autoconfigurator is hard-coded to generate a configuration using the traditional style of network interface names, eg. eth0 Alternatively, you can make whatever changes are required to have the system enumerate the network interfaces with the old style names. If you do neither of those things, you will need to use the rescue console in order to log into the machine and fix your network configuration, as the system will not be able to bring up the network on its next boot. Ask me how I learned this.

Gentoo is in an awkward position here: as was discussed in the bug, it isn't simply a matter of setting libpng[-apng] by default, letting Mozilla bundle their own libpng, and moving on with life. Other programs on Gentoo systems, built against libpng over the years with apng support, will suddenly *not* have it, and this situation could cause problems and data loss for users. I'm not a (Gentoo) dev, and I don't have strong feelings either way, but it is an unenviable position to be in. Regardless, I have trust that things will be resolved reasonably in the end.

That's always been my solution to commonly-connected-but-never-permanently external disks.
