    bash_profile = read only

    Your profile sets environment variables, functions, aliases, and many other things. That file having any write access can provide an attack vector. That said, excuse me if I'm wrong. but normally it's writable by the owner. Though I'm sure some people have a different security view of when...

    Add braces to a command

    See question in code. filename1=“aaainremote” filename2=“bbbinremote” file names=“cccinremote” # <-- What is this? Is that supposed to be filename3? ipaddress=“192.168.1.100” source=“/home/pi/remote/“ destination=“/homepi/local” scp pi@$ipaddress:$source\{filename1,filename2,filename3\}...

    Any interest in the Olympics?

    As for pronouns, that in no way affects me at all. So I don't care what you want to call yourself. For the first 18 years of my life, I went by my middle name, not my first. I don't feel I should be lambasted for that. That was a choice and at the time, my mother made it but I accepted it...

    Any interest in the Olympics?

    You're right, it has evolved. It's the reason why it has evolved is where the problem lies. The term "Woke" most definitely is derived in racism. You cannot change that fact. The reason the term evolved is because people where using it for it's true meaning and once that got out into the...

    Any interest in the Olympics?

    A lot of people use the term woke and do not even know it's true origins. It is most certainly is related to racism. People try to change its meaning and pretend it isn't racism, but it is and so many people use it actually believing it has nothing to do with racism.

    Any interest in the Olympics?

    Yeah, the wife and I watch it. My wife is Brazilian, but she has lived in the US for around 18 years. So her order of support goes Brazil then US. I am the opposite. US then Brazil. We cheer the same teams, but in a different order. :) This forum needs a rule to keep political bs (it's...

    KVM vm's and Ubuntu 22.04 host = internet blocked

    I just saw the VPN thing. What makes no sense is your VPN software can find the internet, but nothing else. This makes me think you have a DNS issue on your local network. Your VPN software probably connects via an IP address (pure guess here) So that doesn't require DNS. Then once you are...

    KVM vm's and Ubuntu 22.04 host = internet blocked

    Are you installing your new VMs with NAT or are you bridging them to the local network? Are your older working VM's bridged mode or are they NAT'ed on an internal subnet? Do you have 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' in your /etc/sysctl.conf?

    Seems they forgot Canada. They aren't part of the world either, eh. ;)

    International outage

    Several years ago when we moved to EDR solutions, we considered CloudStrike and then even offered a massive discount over there MSRP to match who we ended up going with. (Comodo's EDR) The main reason I didn't go with them where for: They were extremely brash. Almost school yard bully like...

    Why Is The Arch Linux Community So toxic?

    Hateful Gatekeeping from Dunning-Kruger effect candidates is very real. ;)

    Too Much RAM -> RAMdisk?

    Actually using RamDisks are (were) common in some situations. Decrypting files without touching a magnetic drive which the data can remain even after deleting the file Especially before flash SSD flash drives, spindles are relatively slow. You can create a ramdisk and drop files on it for...

    Centos second network interface

    I believe you need to setup a second routing table for the second subnet / adapter. it's been a while since I've done anything like this, but look up iproute2 command and how to set up a second routing table. A quick Google search turned up this article about setting it up. Good luck. Dave

    Suggestion for improving Linux Security

    Redhat clones have "Minimal Install" options. When we are creating a new server template, that's what we start with and install what is necessary for that specific application. Just remember, security isn't a "thing" it's a lifestyle. There is far more than "installed applications" involved...

    LPIC-1 exam

    Certifications have two good attributes. They expose you to areas of Linux you may not have. They are good for the resume and can definitely help land you a job. With that said. Based on your username, I'm guessing you are around 20 years old. If that's the case, then I would say...

    Imaging software

    I've used dd many many times with great success in cloning drives. If you are just cloning one disk to another to migrate to a new hard disk, dd is fine. If you are looking at it for more diverse backup or cloning solution. You should look elsewhere as you cannot really depend on dd to...

    Give your thoughts about Linux.

    I first used Linux in 1994/95. Linux has been a "daily" part of my life since 1997 and I've used it professionally since 1999. I quit using Linux on the desktop (for the most part) about 10 years ago. Primarily for two reasons. Linux doesn't support all the applications I run (Wine isn't...

    Server Glow Up.

    Very nice! Don't forget to try out Harvester too as another alternative to Proxmox and VMWare. It's an up and coming HCI also. As for how I got my first admin job. I was doing "data processing" and it was a manually job where I was editing files with vi and doing other things for nightly...

    People who experimented with Konsole and tmux: what's so special about tmux for you?

    Clearly you used to be a screen user too. ;) I can't stand ctrl+b, Screen's ctrl+a is so much more natural.
