Re: USBGuard integration next to encryption?

2023-04-16 Thread Christian Stadelmann
What does USBGuard have to do with encryption? As far as I know, USBGuard is 
used for blocking unwanted USB devices. You can have disk encryption with or 
without USBGuard (or the other way round). You can install usbguard on 
workstation if you want. It is a bit tricky to setup though,as you can lock 
yourself out of your system quite easily.

Thanks for the hint on "rpm -qf"! I only ever used `dnf provides`, which takes 
a longer while.

Re: audio fails under sudo

2022-12-30 Thread Christian Stadelmann
You really really really shouldn't play audio/video under sudo (or browse the 
web or whatever). Please don't. sudo (as the root account) is meant to be used 
for system administration only, i.e. stuff like `dnf install blabla` or `vim 
/etc/[some config file]`. For almost everything else, you really shouldn't use 
sudo/root. sudo/root is not designed for this ind will break at any point. 
Also, you are massively increasing the attack surface on your computer.

How about contributing the info they need on the upstream bug (see link above) 
to fix this issue? Free software can only evolve if people contribute, this 
includes useful information for fixing bugs.

That's probably true. I'm just here to help, not to complain.

Re: Gnome shell high memory usage

2016-09-23 Thread Christian Stadelmann
This is a common issue with gnome-shell.
1. Can you try disabling any gnome-shell extension and see whether it is still 
present? If no, then one of your extensions is to blame. There is no easy way 
except manually enabling/disabling them and having a look at gnome-shell's RAM 
usage.
2. If you are sure it is an issue in gnome-shell, you're probably running into 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642652.

Re: yumex-dnf font size

2016-09-15 Thread Christian Stadelmann
Ok, then go to the KDE system settings and change either your desktop font size 
or the Gtk+ font size under "Application appearance".

Re: yumex-dnf font size

2016-09-07 Thread Christian Stadelmann
Same as for all gnome (Gtk+ 3.x) applications: use gnome-tweak-tool and change 
the font size or the font scaling factor.

Re: Browser Privacy

2016-08-31 Thread Christian Stadelmann
Thanks for sharing this!

Some more addons I use:
1. HTTPS Everywhere – force-redirects to HTTPS on a list (whitelist) of known 
sites. Doesn't break much stuff. I think this is a must-have.
2. RequestPolicyContinued – can be configured to disable _all_ requests from 
any server but the page source host. This preference is pretty safe but breaks 
_lots_ and *lots* of pages. In contrast to uBlock Origin (which does 
blacklisting, same as AdBlock and other ad blockers) this addon can do 
whitelisting. Better protection, more sites break.
3. CanvasBlocker – blocks canvas elements used to track you.

More addons, not security-related:
* Config Descriptions – for heavy users of about:config

Video without flash:
I highly recommend you don't use any plugins in firefox, not only for security 
reasons but also for safety (crashers!) reasons. You won't need flash on many 
sites anyway.

You probably should disable search suggestions too, because due to correlations 
on your typing frequency you could be tracked even through "anonymizing" search 
engines like DuckDuckGo.

The Firefox-inside-VM sounds like [Qubes 
OS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubes_OS) to me, maybe that's of interest for 
you. Since you're not saving any history at all, why don't you use the tor 
browser? It has some more very nice anti-tracking features btw.
