Arch Linux AUR Malware Campaign Hits Multiple User-Contributed Packages in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You do have the choice to simply not use the AUR. Has nothing to do with using Arch or not.

And no one has ever claimed the AUR to be safe.

Which is why users are recommended to audit the PKGBUILD and related files before building and installing the packages. In the end, what happens during the installation of AUR packages are the users responsibility.

Malicious attacks on AUR packages (lists.archlinux.org)
 

There is currently a malicious attack going towards the AUR, in the form of a botnet impersonating git users/maintainers to take over packages and adding a malicious payload.

Arch team is aware and working hard to reset/delete the affected commits and packages.

Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 1 week ago

I've used a RockPro64 and a Rock Pi 4 for that purpose before. They do it quite well.

The main reason people recommend Raspberry Pi's when talking SBCs is the software support (OS choices) and comminity size.

No one in the SBC industry beats Raspberry Pi at those things, and they can be quite important ones.

AV2 v1.0 Specification Released For Next-Gen Video Coding in c/news@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show

AV1 didn't even get major traction yet. Is AV2 really needed so early?

How would you expose Jellyfin securely without a vpn? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Mobile clients should use QuickConnect for it (statement by the sso plugin maintainer). Else it should work with everything that uses the WebUI.

Jellyfin had a third party plugin for OIDC. It was archived recently, but I heard Jellyfin has plans to implement it directly into the software. 🤞

Self-hostable projects that are just for fun? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I setup the IT-Tools mostly for fun. I've only used it a couple of times, but it's a swiss army knife of small practical tools.

very slow downloads for upgrade (in yay) in c/archlinux@lemmy.ml
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 4 points 1 month ago

Start with a regular sudo pacman -Syu. Is that slow?

If not, then it's an AUR package that takes a while.

If it is also slow, then check your mirrors. The one you have first in the list, might be having issues.

Seems to be a fixed width site, indeed.

GitLab Act 2 - A letter to our customers and our investors. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 5 points 1 month ago

They are forges.

I think the comment of migrating git, was more for smaller and maybe private projects. Not large collaborations. So only the git part, not the forge part.

Those are all part of the forge, not git.

  • A git migration is easy.
  • Forge migration usually requires some form of migration tool to get all the forge specific stuff (like issues, PR's and todos).

The 2 are very different things.

Resolution restrictions on Plasma Wayland? (lemmy.linuxuserspace.show)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show to c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.

Lemmy Safety now supports cleaning local pict-rs storage from CSAM (github.com)
 

tværpostet fra: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/3076577

I posted the other day that you can clean up your object storage from CSAM using my AI-based tool. Many people expressed the wish to use it on their local file storage-based pict-rs. So I've just extended its functionality to allow exactly that.

The new lemmy_safety_local_storage.py will go through your pict-rs volume in the filesystem and scan each image for CSAM, and delete it. The requirements are

  • A linux account with read-write access to the volume files
  • A private key authentication for that account

As my main instance is using object storage, my testing is limited to my dev instance, and there it all looks OK to me. But do run it with --dry_run if you're worried. You can delete lemmy_safety.db and rerun to enforce the delete after (method to utilize the --dry_run results coming soon)

PS: if you were using the object storage cleanup, that script has been renamed to lemmy_safety_object_storage.py
