[SOLVED] I cannot add flatpaks as user, what am I doing wrong?
SOLUTION: add Flathub as a user remote too:
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak lets you install applications as user vs system. I want to install as user because my .var is full.
example: flatpak install --user org.fcitx.Fcitx5 returns error: No remote refs found for ‘org.fcitx.Fcitx5’
flatpak remotes returns flathub system
I'm logged in as user5. whoami returns user5
I don't know what remote I have to add or if I have to add user5 as a remote

Judge who reviewed James Comey's indictment was confused by prosecutor's handling of case, transcript shows
U.S. Magistrate Judge Lindsey Vaala expressed confusion and surprise at some points during the seven-minute court session when a federal grand jury impaneled in Alexandria, Virginia, returned the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey Thursday night.
According to a transcript of the proceedings obtained by CBS News, Judge Vaala asked the newly named interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan — a former Trump personal lawyer — why there were two versions of the indictment.
A majority of the grand jury that reviewed the Comey matter voted not to charge him with one of the three counts presented by prosecutors, according to a form that was signed by the grand jury's foreperson and filed in court. He was indicted on two other counts — making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding — after 14 of 23 jurors voted in favor of them, the foreperson told the judge.

[Question] Visual feedback of my Linux homelab setup/system?
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/36794370
Hello everyone 😀My Linux learning and Homelab setup is going smoothly and after a long period of stagnation, I'm in a new learning curve 😁 ! I just learned the magic of hard links and implemented them with bind mounts (yeah hard links only work on the same file system 😛) to my Qbittorrent scripting to automagically move them as hard links to a bind mount accessible to Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin... and move, rename and do all other things without even touching the original files: PUR MAGIC !
Everything is a file? Naah, everything is a hard link ! (Or inode? xD)While I'm overjoyed I learned and have a better understanding of files, hard links, soft links, file system, docker, web, all kind of things related to IT... I'm getting kinda overwhelmed of what's happening on my system !!
- I have a dozen docker compose on my server, all behind traefik resolved by my piHole DNS on a raspberry pi, some have a custom image made by myself for certificate purpose or some manual changes I added.
- I have some
.configfiles in my~/to improve mymicroexperience and make it more integrated over SSH with my Mac and Desktop. If also have some config files in my/rootdirectory for my miniCA for all my service with my personal local domain name and other config files like/etc/bash_aliasesand some changes in/etc/bash.bashrc- I have some python
.venvfor learning and scripting with python- I have a complex and long bash script backup for all my docker containers to back up my volumes, config files and media files separately
- Installed some useful and needed packages like
resolvconf,wireguard,samba...- I have a few samba shares, all accessible in my LAN with sometimes some exotic configuration for Mac integration
- My docker containers have some bind mounts shared volumes
[....]
And now I also have some hard links lying around in the mix ! So I have to say it out loud: I'm OVERWHELMED !
Yes, I do keep some notes in Obsidian and also have a self-hosted Forgejo to keep my notes updated and have some kind of version control of changes in my scripts, but I do feel like I'm not sure anymore what I have... Not to say I didn't mention all the other stuff related to my phone (baikal, ntfy....) or how to keep everything updated (WUD does the trick for containers 😀) and tidy...
I guess I'm looking for something magic, something that could In ONE blink give me what's doing what and where? And changes my life for an ever-growing IT space ? Preference something visual...?
I hope to hear from you guys on what I can do to take away this feel of being lost and not being able to fully track my systems and my LAN !
Thank you !
like this
1) Simplify. You've made a system more complex than it needs to be. Copy files rather than working around hard link limitations. Use off-the-shelf backup solutions. Have a single file server with a known location for all your mounts. Etc.
2) Automate. Not with bespoke bash scripts but with tools like ansible and terraform. These tools are built to help manage infrastructure and configurations.
Everything is a file? Naah, everything is a hard link ! (Or inode? xD)
Hard links are files...
- Yeah I guess I have made it more complex. But what hard links allow me to achieve is to save disk space while still working on the file without changing the original one. Imagine I have to copy my files to sonarr, have a copy in my torrent directory and also a backup on an external disk... That's alot of space ! This may be a simpler solution, but only If you have money to spare on disk space. Yes, it's "cheap" when you have a bank account and money lying around, but that's not the case for everyone :/. I think the ARR* stack works similarly and works with hard links !
- Oh... never heard of Terraform, will have a look, thanks for the pointer !
Hard links are files…
I guess so, but files are just links pointing to inodes ? 😀 Sorry If I'm wrong here, and please give me the proper knowledge If you are willing to share 😀
Edit: After some reading, I think Ansible seems a better fitting. Terraform is more for creating infrastructures while Ansible to manage them and configure them?
I'm not sure how the *arr stuff works but hard links don't let you "edit a file while preserving the original" - they let you have mulltiple paths to the same file.
$ echo "hello" > file1
$ ln file1 file2
$ echo "world" > file2
$ cat file1 file2
world
worldDoes *arr have some sort of copy-on-write behavior? Some modern file-systems have de-duping behavior and copy-on-write built in that you may be able to save some space with.
But the point of topic 1 was to simplify. You can keep doing your hardlink stuff but standardize it and simplify setup/configuration. If you always do things in the same way it's less complicated to keep track of and fix.
You've understood the difference in terraform/ansible, and yeah terraform is probably not going to be as helpful. Ansible would be much more likely to help. It can seem burdensome to have to write configuration files for things at first, but it forces you to do things in a way that is standardized and repeatable.
China-Linked PlugX and Bookworm Malware Attacks Target Asian Telecom and ASEAN Networks
Cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/43105573
ArchivedTelecommunications and manufacturing sectors in Central and South Asian countries have emerged as the target of an ongoing campaign distributing a new variant of a known malware called PlugX (aka Korplug or SOGU).
"The new variant's features overlap with both the RainyDay and Turian backdoors, including abuse of the same legitimate applications for DLL side-loading, the XOR-RC4-RtlDecompressBuffer algorithm used to encrypt/decrypt payloads and the RC4 keys used," Cisco Talos researchers Joey Chen and Takahiro Takeda said in an analysis published this week.
The cybersecurity company noted that the configuration associated with the PlugX variant diverges significantly from the usual PlugX configuration format, instead adopting the same structure used in RainyDay, a backdoor associated with a China-linked threat actor known as Lotus Panda (aka Naikon APT). It's also likely tracked by Kaspersky as FoundCore and attributed to a Chinese-speaking threat group it calls Cycldek.

in reply to arsus5478 • • •What’s happening here is that you only have a system-wide remote configured, but you’re trying to install as user. Flatpak keeps two separate sets of remotes:
System remotes (available to all users)
User remotes (only for the logged-in user)
Since you have no user remotes defined, Flatpak can’t find anything when you do --user.
You need to add Flathub as a user remote. Run:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepoarsus5478

in reply to arsus5478 • • •I could be wrong but no remote refs refers to not finding a repo for what you are trying to install, so either the flathub repo isnt added which it sounds like it is, or the app you want isnt in that repo.
So you may need to add the repo for that app:
