Made in Rust is not synonym of safety. Every code is as safe as its programmer made it be.

For those who speaks portuguese or for those who don’t mind to read subtitle to understand the video, I really recommend Diolinux

For me this is the best channel about linux and technology.

The only extention I use is system tray, cause I rely on apps that use it. But everything else is Gnome-way and I love it

We all know that nobody respect these definiotions and mostly when someone says linux, reffers to the full operate system

Idk why people are so passionate about it, cause there is no “Linux” - there is a lot of “Linuxes”.

I mean, what defines Linux? The kernel? The desktop environment? The flexibility?

Cause, dude, in a desktop level linux has many options, some very little smooth (like any window manager you have to configure everything by yourself) and some very smooth (like KDE and Gnome). I risk to say that Gnome and KDE are as smooth as MacOs/Windows.

Applications are kind the same. What applications are we talking about? There is a huge range of possibilities, which includes apps that run only in windows as well as apps that run only in Linux. Surely main stream apps are most designed for Windows, cause they have the majority of market share, however almost always there is an alternative good enough in Linux.

I wish the future of Linux would be our own people don’t blame on projects trying to innovate, like Gnome and KDE does. People on Linux looks like loves to makes things hard or exclusive, but man, we need simple things as well. Simple things on Linux does not “rot” Linux, but make Linux more usable and, as consequence, makes development faster while big techs have to start paying attention to Linux.

This ia definitely an issue that Gnome must work with.

However I think I understood the issue. Google is pushing passwordless verification to us, but at the time it’s not supported on Linux.

There are a couple of 2FA to connect into Google’s account, one of them is this passwordless alternative, using a FIDO hardware or a bluetooth device to authenticate me.

When I tried to login with my Google account at a normal browser, such as Firefox, it asks me to connect my device to authenticate me, which I can cancel this operation and select any other 2FA method.

At the Gnome Online Accounts it does not show the popup asking for the device at all, but my hypothesis is that it still waiting for it undefinitely, preventing us to login or select any other 2FA method.

A workaround is disabling Security Device 2FA in your account and using other 2FA methods, like TOPT, SMS and Phone Authorization.

A solution would be implement a timeout on GnomeWebKit aborting the “waiting for authentication” operation and proceeding to select another 2FA method.

This is a issue by Google’s decision to not allowing us select our prefered 2FA anymore.

I never had to create a new TUN/TAP interface before, so I’m on the same boat as you. I’m brainstorming here with you and hoping for the best

But here is how to create a new tun interface:

https://www.baeldung.com/linux/create-check-network-interfaces

You’ll have to manually set some parameters to make it work, I guess

Well, I found this article saying that theoretically is possible, however not so much. It says that depends on how the other VPN works. They even suggest some workarounds, so take a look

Anyway, have you tried to create another tun/tap service to run both VPN?

Ok… I think I didn’t get what you’re trying to say. Do you wanna run a VPN through a VPN?

I mean, you have your RPI 4b as a Tailscale exit node, but the RPI 4b itself connects to the ProtonVPN?

With Tailscale you have only to declare this device as exit node. It’s just one single command, pretty simple

Edit:

Here’s how: https://tailscale.com/kb/1103/exit-nodes/#step-2-advertise-a-device-as-an-exit-node

Based on your requirements Arch Linux or OpenSuSe Tumbleweed is what you want

Run away from Manjaro.

I didn’t know AdGuardHome while back when I was looking for a PiHole alternative. That’s why I chose Technitium over AdGuardHome

Today im an Arch user, however in the past i was a Big Linux user. Even more in the past, i was user of Kurumin Linux

Yes, it does.

Actually with Technitium you can add a list from the internet, so it’s always up-to-date with the deny list you want… And yes, it does have whitelist and blacklist. Is a pretty complete DNS server

PiHole is a pain in the ass to install in x86 Arch Linux, so I installed Technitium on my old laptop to be my home DNS server.

I have a laptop at my home that I use as a VPN exit node from Tailscail, and I installed Technitium there, to works also as a ad blocker. Really sweet to my needs.

It works pretty well

X is deprecated. I wonder why it still on the alphabet.

What makes you think that a community called “Linux” is the best place to ask a question about Windows?

I think inkscape is a better solution as well. Draw has some limitations. However you can use Inkscape to create this borders you want, and then load It in Draw, If you find yourself more familiar with Draw

What are you trying to acomplish with it?

It looks to me like XY Problem

You probably is protected by your routers firewall already. But if you want to keep it safe and use a firewall in your computer, you may install ufw or firewalld. The default config should be alright to your needs
