The enterprise cryptographic filesystem for Linux     (www.ecryptfs.org)
submitted by iSnark to Linux 7 months ago (+8/-0)
2 comments last comment...
https://www.ecryptfs.org/

eCryptfs is a POSIX-compliant enterprise cryptographic stacked filesystem for Linux. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decrypted with the proper key in the Linux kernel keyring. There is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself. You may think of eCryptfs as a sort of "gnupg as a filesystem".

eCryptfs is widely used, as the basis for Ubuntu's Encrypted Home Directory, natively within Google's ChromeOS, and transparently embedded in several network attached storage (NAS) devices.

Originally authored by Michael Halcrow and the IBM LInux Technology Center, eCryptfs is derived from Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, and the FiST framework for stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extended Cryptfs to provide advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs is currently actively maintained by Dustin Kirkland (of Canonical, Inc) and Tyler Hicks (of Canonical, Ltd).

"Hello fellow Linux users". Anyone have any recomendations of apps to use?      (Linux)
submitted by Monica to Linux 9 months ago (+6/-0)
39 comments last comment...
One thing I'm looking to do is backup old dvd files and I need a DVD-RW app to read/write using my DVD-RW burner. I also would like to rip some old audio CDs I have.

I also would like to know of a secure browser to use.

Any recommendations to help get me started ... anything really.

edit: I just installed i2p and it's working. I'm kind of excited to see what it's like.
edit 2: I would like a good IRC app.

Where do I find the apps I install? Devaun Linux.     (Linux)

I finished installing Devaun and wanted to install brave browser. That took a while to figure out then it finally looked like it installed. Now I wondering where the is it? How do I launch it. The install instructions said to use the app launcher.

I found 'app finder' and brave browser was not in the list. I have no idea where this installed to.

Edit:
Can't change the title: *Devuan

I've used many different versions of Linux but I thought I'd ask and see if there's something else I might be interested in. I'm looking for a secure way to access the internet. Does anyone have any experience with Qubes-Whonix?

Please list any good Linux OS's you recommend.

I've used red hat, ubuntu, mint, whonix, and I tried installing Arch. I probably installed others but that's all I can think of right now.

'Critical' vulnerability in OpenSSH uncovered, affects almost all Linux systems      (www.computing.co.uk)

More info here: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/linux/comments/1dsvgli/critical_vulnerability_in_openssh_uncovered/

============Below is a comment with other links=============

Debian system on stable seem like they're not affected. I checked my open SSH version using sudo apt show openssh-server and looks like I'm running:

Package: openssh-server Version: 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u4

And the article listed states that this version isn't affected.

My Ubuntu machine is on version Version: 1:8.9p1-3ubuntu0.7 and looks like this version IS affected by this bug. I'm on the jammy release and they have released a new version that fixes this problem, so just a quick update should fix the issue.

Looking at SalixOS. Anyone tried it before?     (Linux)

Its a stable fork of Slackware, and I like the underlying philosophy.

I only have experience with Mint, and I don't actually know what I'm in for. I mostly use my laptop to browse the internet, light office stuff, and to play old video games.

Any current/former slackers here?

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-1086 and carrying a severity rating of 7.8 out of a possible 10, allows people who have already gained a foothold inside an affected system to escalate their system privileges.

Anyone know why a mysql query call to simply select count(*) would take 9 seconds for 2.3 million entries?     (Linux)
submitted by CoronaHoax to Linux 11 months ago (+0/-0)
2 comments last comment...
I moved a db from a personal machine to a VPS, mariadb to mysql, and now -

select count(*) from table_name;

calls are taking like 9 seconds.

Also a lot of other calls that used to take like 0.5 seconds now take 10. They're all calls that are under an index...

Can anyone please tell do you know are there any settings that are likely to alleviate this? I'm finding it hard to believe just 2.5 million records are causing this much slow down just because it's a VPS (4 gb ram, 2 cpus, should be respectable enough hd access)?

Spoiler, the first "rules" are the 10 commandments. They have 72 rules, strangely enough. Not in agreement with this list, as my code of ethics is far simpler than this. However, it seems who made this list wanted nothing to do with the new BS intersectional crap and put a bunch of hard bible shit in there instead.

Ubuntu (from the wikipedia site):

There are many different (and not always compatible) definitions of what Ubuntu is.[7] Even with the various definitions, Ubuntu encompasses the interdependence of humans on another and the acknowledgment of one's responsibility to their fellow humans and the world around them. It is a philosophy that supports [u]collectivism over individualism[\u].

So, the Ubuntu movement by Mandela is the basis of philosophy for ubuntu linux?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Experience_ubuntu.ogv

It seems Ubuntu is now "communism for linux".

Sheepish Goy on Reddit Ask Obvious Question in Linux Forum - Misinformation Ensues     (libreddit.bus-hit.me)

https://libreddit.bus-hit.me/r/linuxquestions/comments/1cf0blg/is_linux_infiltrated_by_cia/

This is a good example of how the conversation is controlled. Look at the downvotes and crap answers that get all the traction and upvotes. Obvious who the "bots" (accounts run by an "agenda" rather than a "person") are in this case.

The question is about the (((CIA))) control of Linux and the user gives an example. Linux goats must know at this point that systemd, elogind, wayland, and these new package delivery systems (snaps, flatpak) all attack vectors on the linux userspace security. On top of that, who the hell knows what's deep in the kernel code itself (this Rust language for example is another "progressive" hack) and let's not get started about the obvious hardware backdoors.

The Link does not go directly to reddit but another place to obfuscate social media information and tracking.

How do I load i2c-module and i2c-i801 driver?      (Linux)
submitted by 2Drunk to Linux 1 year ago (+1/-0)
7 comments last comment...
I'm using an ASUS Laptop running Mint and Garuda. Haven't decided which OS to keep. I'm trying to run OpenRGB for the laptop and both OS give the same error. I'm not very intelligent so I need basic instructions or link to a write up.

This is the actual error msg:

"One or more I2C/SMBus interfaces failed to initialize.
RGB DRAM modules and some motherboards' onboard RGB lighting will not be available without I2C/SMBus.
On Linux, this is usually because the i2c-dev module is not loaded. You must load the i2c-dev module along with the correct i2c driver for your motherboard. This is usually i2c-piix4 for AMD systems and i2c-i801 for Intel systems."

This might be beyond my comprehension. I'm using a intel system.
