  • Not sure if this is what happend, but there is a sync option in samba where you can sync your samba user password with login user password.

    However this needs explicitly be stated in the samba.conf and needs some further configuration. It could be possible that the installation fuckedup something with passwd.

    Just guessing here, I played a bit arround with samba and password syncing.

    I get your feeling :) Don’t worry the silent majority is on your side. However they won’t comment because they fear from being banned or backslashed…

    While It can’t be proven or disapproved, I also had my share of strange coincidence where my mind goes “Huh? How is that even possible?”… Kinda strange feeling! But that feeling gave me the push to the privacy route maybe in a rather to extreme direction? Always follow your guts when there’s to much noise to make a clear decision.

    • RethinkDNS (block every in/out request except those manually allowed)
    • Degoogles android (Shizuku+canta, magisk, debloater)
    • Only open source apps and delete everything else (no exceptions here) -…

    You will never get full 100% privacy or anonymity, however you can make your data as much as difficult to get and waste some of their resource and time :).

    Good luck !



  • XFCE4 ! Stable, simple and EndeavourOS’ design is top notch !

    However there are some glitches from time to time. Nothing to serious but when I use Lutris + Wine my desktop bar does some wired shit.

    Also when coming back from sleep I have to “pkill xfce4-session”. Though I’m not totally sure it’s an xfce issue…this could also be Nvidia or X11 related… Didn’t dived to deep.








  • Hey :) Thanks for the pointer. This was to beautiful to be true ! I searched around the web and found out what is actually happening in the background (learned something new and important so thank you!). And effectively It was writing to the cache and I wasn’t aware that was a thing on Linux.

    The command I used to track it down: sync & watch -n 1 grep -e Dirty: /proc/meminfo. Took me some time to come across the right command and realize what’s happening.

    Will update my post right way (BTW is still hate MacOS !)

    I had a similar experience with a “wow the Linux community is beautiful” feeling after booting into Debian on an old rockchip CPU TV box !

    Have a look at the armbian community. Those guys are on another level 😁.


    Edit

    To my surprise, I even discovered that you can boot Armbian on these inexpensive boxes and use them as a lightweight desktop

    Oupsi ! It’s late here so I didn’t read till the end ! Sorry about that 😅




  • Hi there ! Sorry my English is not that good, but I’m doing the best I can !

    Actually, I do not have a VPS. I use an old spare laptop as server which handles everything.

    I have Wireguard barebone installed with a a second external wireguard interface and some iptables to send all traffic to ProtonVPN.

    All my containers,on the same laptop, are directly reachable via this configuration and HTTPS is handle by Treafik with my self-signed local certificates (root CA with intermediate CA).

    Eg: From my mobile over WiFi or 4G I can access all my containers where ever I’m. My endpoint in my Wireguard’s confirguration (on my phone) being my home’s public IP.

    I hope I answered your question? If not I’m willing to give you a diagram of my setup, this will probably clear up the confusion/question? And will probably be way more explicit than my broken English 😄.
