Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Remote access home PC to test remote access to the work PCEnglish
5·6 days agoAlthough this stance makes me think I should never use remote desktop at all
Yeah, generally speaking, remote access logically puts the remote system (or whatever resources are being remotely accessed) in the same “security domain” as the endpoint being used to do the remote access. So, system administrators and other security-conscious people indeed tend not to SSH or remote desktop in to important systems from other people’s computers :)

16·6 days agoCongrats on fixing your issue and progressing in your self-hosting journey… but… from a security standpoint it is not really a good idea to log in to your home server from your work PC.
Anyone else who is able to run code on your work PC (your employer, rogue coworkers, hackers targeting your employer, hackers randomly exploiting the 15-year-old version of Office or other software you’re running there, etc) could easily discretely retain the access which you gave them to your hopefully-better-secured (or at least differently-secured) Debian home server.
Damnit, this is the The Scream dog all over again
yeah, no, there are still not designated toilets for you on this planet @dalekcaan@feddit.nl
😱 (in case it isn't clear to anyone, the dog-eared Scream is also shopped 😂)
Bespoke is a synthesizer first but “like a DAW in some ways, but with less of a focus on a global timeline. Instead, it has a design more optimized for jamming and exploration.” (youtube trailer, wiki, wikipedia)
“But you can’t copy with Ctrl+C, it’s…” - You can. When something is selected It copies selection to clipboard, otherwise it sends SIGINT.
What terminal emulator are you using where ctrl-c copies instead of sending SIGINT when text is selected? In every one I’ve ever used, ctrl-c still sends SIGINT even with text selected (and one must must use ctrl-shift-C/ctrl-shift-V to copy/paste).
I don’t have any suggestion for getting the behavior you’re asking for, but besides the normal ctrl-(shift)-C/V clipboard FYI you also have two other types of clipboard-like things: one which works anywhere (not only in the terminal) and is actually always automatically copying anything you select and lets you paste from it with middle click (this originated with X Windows but i think most Wayland compositors have also implemented it by now), and another which is found in GNU Readline (used by bash and numerous other REPLs) called the “kill buffer” which can be pasted (or “yanked”) from and cut (or “killed”) to using Emacs keyboard shortcuts (which also include various cursor movement controls).
Notes:
- the kill buffer is local to a given readline context, it’s not shared across different shell windows.
- the list of emacs keybindings in that wikipedia article i linked is currently confusingly referring to the kill buffer as “the clipboard”
- you can drastically reconfigure your readline keybindings and other behavior by editing your
.inputrcfile, but you cannot achieve what you were originally asking for because there is no concept of text selection in readline.
HTH!

Linux@lemmy.ml•What would you do with a device like thisEnglish
6·24 days agoI suppose it runs on an Arm-Processor
It would be odd if a device labeled “Wintel Pro” had an arm CPU.
Wintel means Windows on Intel, or more broadly Windows on any x86 or x86_64 processor.
I am thinking of airtight windows! No other country can build such airtight and beautiful windows. - Angela Merkel in a 2004 interview, answering the question of what emotions Germany arouses in her

sudo apt --update --autoremove upgrade -ynote
this doesn’t actually do the same thing as the previous comment running autoremove afterwards does; the former will remove things which were rendered removable by the upgrade while the latter will only remove things which were already autoremovable prior the upgrade.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] how do I remove flatpak end-of-life runtimes without being prompted to install them again when updating?English
10·1 month agothe info line contains the answer:
Info: applications using this runtime: io.github.Hexchat
You need to remove Hexchat if you want to remove the end-of-life runtimes it requires.
I regret to inform you that the maintainer wrote in February 2024: This will be the last release I make of HexChat. The project has largely been unmaintained for years now and nobody else stepped up to do that work.
My computer uses both system and user remotes.
Because my .var directory is almost full, […]
If you’re low on disk space you probably want to have everything installed as either user or system, to avoid having some runtimes installed in both.
