i need some guidance from all you smarties out there on the fedi.
i have headless #debian server.
no remote root login, but sudo user is available.
trying to run "shred" command on a few HDDs.
obviously this is a very time consuming process.
how can I initiate this process via #SSH and logout of the pty without killing the shred process?

Another reason to hate Systemd: I’ve been fucking around for the last 30 minutes trying to switch off password login in sshd and doubting myself big time.

I’ve changed the ssh_config file but I can still login with a password. I’ve rebooted. Same problem.

Turns out that I have to ALSO edit or delete 50-cloud-init.conf in sshd_config.d directory.

What a load of fucking shite.

Tailscale und Minecraft funktioniert.
Musik- und Videostreaming vom Homeserver sollte auch gehen, aber es wollen erstmal ~13 TB Mediendateien indiziert werden. Server ist belastet, aber wird kaum warm. SSH vom Handy ohne Port-Forwarding am Router läuft. Ich hab, was IT angeht, für heute Feierabend. 🔥🌃 Cheers!

The Pine Phone Pro arrived earlier this week. After a few unfocused, false starts I finally got it booting into Gnome on PostmarketOS and currently installing Waydroid over ssh.

My wife uses a cheesey coupon clipping app (iOS/Android) for doing the groceries and such. I'll need to take a look at what traffic flows in-n-out of this app to see what is being farmed and segregate/container off if required.

We are heavy Signal users but I may use this as an excuse to set up a XMPP server. Twas on the 'roadmap'.

Initial impressions are good. Definitely not as shiny and smooth as an iOS or Android device but - it's a phone. We spent half our lives with dumb rotary dialing doohickeys - we'll survive. lol

Pretty impressed with Gnome on a touch device so far. This is my first real experience with it. No 'klunkiness' so far but just scratching the surface.

It will be interesting to see how a non-technical person takes to it. I'm going to monkey with it myself for the first week or so to find the hard edges to save her the frustration.

I want to experiment with Android Auto - see what (if anything) is possible.

I also obtained a Seeed Studio Sensecap T1000-E (meshtastic, lora, etc.) to connect to this device. We'll see how far I get with that.

I really need a staff... 🙃 Ha!

I've just installed #atop on #sydbox #ctf server in case people want to explore exploiting the recent heap corruption. I don't trust jia tan enough to leave atop.service running as root though so the attack vector is limited. Sail with #ssh to syd.chesswob.org (user/pass: syd) or go to syd.chesswob.org although the #nodejs client is a bit more limited. See here for the #security issue, openwall.com/lists/oss-securit (tl;dr uninstall #atop asap!) and here for #sydbox #ctf ctftime.org/event/2178

@sstephenson the good old #rsync (mostly over #ssh) remains the work horse in the absence of these. And then, for a bit more modernity there is #rclone which lets you deploy a static site the same way but to a lot of CDN-back-ends (so that makes me free of the vendor lock-in).

It's #nerd tip o'clock:

After 2 days using #ssh on the new computer, and needing each time it wakes from sleep, to re-ssh into the machine where a program I use daily runs in a screen session, I took 5 minutes to reinstall #Mosh (mobile shell) and updated my alias from "ssh" to "mosh".

mosh.org/

✅ Runs inside your terminal
✅ Get rid of network lag
✅ Change IP. Stay connected
✅ including if the client goes to sleep and wakes up later or loses internet connection

MoshMosh: the mobile shellMobile shell that supports roaming and intelligent local echo. Like SSH secure shell, but allows mobility and more responsive and robust.
