Yeah kinda, unix socket does count as ipc

2. Is the usual solution, but instead of file use unix socket and user/group permissions as auth - the running user has to be part of some group so that the control client (A) can access the control socket of (B) daemon.

Alternatively you could use capabilities:

I have been pretty content with just zsh with fzf - extends the ctrl+R with interactive fuzzy search across the history.

In theory some session like behaviour should be easy to make with a little script that changes $HISTFILE

Using pip to install packages outside of venv was always a risk, (newer) pip now has this mechanism to really drive the point home that this can break stuff.

Do I have to do this everytime I start the script via console?

Yes, one way to get rid of this requirement is to package the script as binary/executable package (add pyproject.toml with some sane defaults and with proper [project.scripts]) and then install the project using pipx - pipx install -e path/to/the/project/, the -e flag stands for editable and is nice to have here as you won’t have to reinstall everytime you change the script.
What pipx does is that it creates the local virtualenv, installs everything the package declares as needed and adds a special executable script into location like ~/.local/bin/ that first sources the venv and then starts the entry script - keeping everything isolated.

You will want to use virtualenv, it creates isolated “workspace” so that system (python) packages do not conflict or mix.

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

pipx won’t work for that, it’s a library.

If you are working on your own project/script, you should use virtualenv for development and install all required libraries there.
If you need it because some system installed application or part of your system does not work without it then… you are in bad place - pip is python package manager primarily used for general python development (installing depending packages, and in theory also for packaging python projects) but it should never be used as system wide package manager - you will break stuff (especially when used with sudo).

If you need to install an executable python program, use pipx it will create special environment for the python program so it won’t break anything else in the system but it only works on packages (pipx install some-package) that have entry scripts (so can be called directly, libraries usually do not have that as you use them from other python program).

In short that error you get that tells you to use zypper is there for an important reason.

Afaik you have to replicate the same wave but in opposite “direction” (up/down sinus) to cancel out incoming sound so any anc earbuds have to have microphones and are dynamically shaping the sound.

The first time her videos popped up on my feed I couldn’t believe it’s not some elaborate joke, but shes great

What does lsblk -f show ?

For me, Steam (on Linux) has been periodically corrupting the ntfs disk, I do use it on windows too and not even win hybrid/fastboot/hibernation disabled helps.

May I see what mount options you use for the ntfs3 driver in fstab? I do not currently have the nocase and windows_names …

Also afaik it only works in fullscreen on Linux (and in programs that support it).

Yeah NX is probably not going to be an easy one to implement.

Haven’t tried LFS yet but I have had my share of compiling custom Arch kernel (basically just making it smaller and boot a little bit faster), or cross-compiling various stuff for embedded and having to crawl through some of the lower level stuff.
It might be that time of a year to give LFS a try now that you mention it.

Removed and apt purge’d python2 package.

Pity debian folded in on itself and dpkg required it at the time for something so that wasn’t an easy one.

I wouldn’t recommend putting ssh behind any vpn connection unles you have a secondary access to the machine (for example virtual tty/terminal from your provider or local network ssh). At best, ssh should be the only publicly accessible service (unless hosting other services that need to be public accessible).

I usually move the ssh port to some higher number just to get rid of the basic scanners/skiddies.

Also disable password login (only keys) and no root login.

And for extra hardening, explicitly allow ssh for only users that need it (in sshd config).

Usually I would want any playing video to disable screensaver as long as it’s playing?

There are/were two reasons why I did that:

• board manufacturers like to push the juice into the CPU to make benchmarks look good which is dangerous with these power sucking bricks, afaik this might be already patched in recent bioses but I am not risking it/lazy to tweak back
• depending on the CPU piece you might achieve same performance with less power which is my case, I think I have Core Voltage set to something like Adaptive-0.080 which afaik is still pretty tame and the benchmark scores almost didn’t move
