      Making Ubuntu the Way I like It

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 21 November - 17:32 edit

    I’m installing a couple of Ubuntu 22.04 systems for a friend. They want a simple, friendly Linux build, or they’ll go M$! My two preferred distros don’t fit the bill, Debian is tool stale for a desktop build, Manjaro is too dynamic and bleeding edge for a simple user. This leaves me wanting to give &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Backblaze Egress for $0

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Friday, 17 November - 08:46 edit

    Backblaze has a bandwidth alliance with Cloudflare. Leveraging this means you can restore private backup content via Cloudflare, and not pay anything to Backblaze in egress charges! I’ve not had the need to restore 100’s of Gigabytes, let alone Terabytes’s, but at the point where you need to do this Backblaze charge a fee for &ellipsisRead the full post »

      More Happy Desktop

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Monday, 13 November - 18:56 edit

    It’s nice getting your desktop setup just the way you want it. The right mix of icons, cursors, themes, and wallpapers. Now there’s a handy tool called gdm-tools that lets you sort out the style of the Gnome gdm login screen – without the need for advanced brain surgery and lots of file jiggery-pokery. With &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Adguard or Pihole?

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Thursday, 27 April, 2023 - 16:49 edit

    I guess this could fall under the banner of a privateer project. I’m trying to banish adverts from streaming devices and wanted to see if Adguard or Pihole could help. Both of them operate the same way. They act as a DNS server and when a client makes a request for an address, they check &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Great Free and Open Source Software

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Thursday, 30 March, 2023 - 07:07 edit

    Over time I’ve encountered some great pieces of Free and Open Source Software. I just wanted to list a few noteworthy products in a single place I can refer to – in no particular order. NHAS/WAG – Adds 2FA/MFA to WireGuard VPN’s allinurl/goaccess – Real Time Nginx log analysis

      SSSD and SUDOers

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Thursday, 9 March, 2023 - 17:59 edit

    All our remote users are using LDAP cached credentials using SSSD. This works really well for users that transition online to offline, with one failing. When they attempt to use sudo to elevate permissions to carry out a privileged operation. For the longest time I could not get this working. I searched LDAP and compared &ellipsisRead the full post »

      ldapsearch and base64 decoding

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 21 February, 2023 - 16:03 edit

    I recently had to do an ldapsearch/ldbsearch that returned some base64 encoded results. I can go decode them using base63 -d line by line, but I found this magic spell that did it for me. I have no real clue how it works, it’s written in Perl and that is a dark art to me. &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Extracting Graphs from Grafana

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 14 February, 2023 - 12:35 edit

    The Grafana dashboards are a really nice interactive display of metrics. What we want to do is take those graphs from a dashboard and share them on a static monthly report. I found some advice in how to grab shared output using date epochs. This enables me to dynamically specify a URL to grab a &ellipsisRead the full post »
