I'm not sure about the other devs but I believe James uses fossil: https://chiselapp.com/user/jamesbond. It's a good choice in my opinion.

m1k3

Nice job on the improvements to your program!

@m1k3 Do you know the location of the build script that is being used to create the mentioned Vivaldi appimage to review the source? It was right in that repo that I linked to. :) https://github.com/ivan-hc/Vivaldi-appimage/blob/main/vivaldi-builder.sh It sources the latest Vivaldi snapshot (deb pa...

True, although in this case you can review the shell script used to build the appimage and see what the source is.

I'd recommend just snagging the most current appimage: https://github.com/ivan-hc/Vivaldi-appi ... continuous. To update you just download the newest one and overwrite your existing one.

Sorry, just expanded my reply to you above but you replied before I had a chance to save it.

Slackware packages would work too but I the versions can be a little old.

Which Linux flavour are you using on https://pkgs.org/ for Fatdog? What's the exact source of the packages listed on this website? You can use any of them, really. Sometimes it depends on which distro has the particular library in it's repos. But, for the most part I will pick the latest Fedora rpm...

m1k3

Happy to help! Let me know if you run into any issues. Do you manage all the packages that you additionally install in separate SFS files or do you create everything in one SFS? I guess it depends on the package or how the program is distributed. Most of the time I can create an SFS for each package...

Thank @williwaw, that's a nice flowchart.

m1k3

Does anyone know how to get a newer version of Golang installed in FatDog? The cleanest option in my mind would be turn the binary release into an SFS as to not clutter your base FD install. Download the latest .tar.gz archive and extract the files. Create a directory structure that will become the...

@step Ah, that's a good point - thank you.

m1k3

At some point, I question when it becomes too many hurdles, even for myself. I use LibreWolf, encrypt personal documents, run a firewall, and connect via wireguard. Honestly, the likelihood of a hacker or state actor targeting me specifically is very low. I have a small number of sites that I freque...

@jamesbond: Oh man, now I feel dumb. I didn't even think to see what sh was symlinked to and assuming it was dash. Thanks for the info! I'll keep my shell setup in .shinit then.

m1k3

@Imran my bad too, I should have realized that.

m1k3

True, I had noticed when I used the -l argument yesterday but didn't make the connection. I'll stick to .bashrc as you recommended. Thanks!

m1k3

Imran , not sure who you were replying to but I don't use a regular user at all (except spot). I more or less have the same view as the FD devs on root. What I do is create a new symlink to /usr/bin/program-spot for all programs that access the internet so that they run as spot and I stay logged in...

m1k3

Thank you both! Imran , That's a good way to look at it. It surprising because advice on the net is all over the place in terms of using profile vs bashrc. I like your approach though. step , I tried ~/.fatdog/profile as well but it was the same result as putting it directly in /etc/profile which so...

m1k3

Ok, I think I might be getting somewhere. If I export the prompt in /etc/profile then it does in indeed change the login prompt when changing to another TTY. So where does it get reset? Hmm....

m1k3

I hate to ask this because I feel like I'm missing something obvious. When I changed the shell to bash for root, I get the default bash prompt (bash-5.2# ). No problem, right - just change it in /etc/profile or even ~/.profile. Heck, maybe even add a custom prompt to /etc/shinit or ~/.shinit for goo...

m1k3

Yet another alternative to your localhost usage case might be to simply drop some of root capabilities /sbin/capsh --drop=cap_sys_chroot,cap_sys_admin -- -c /bin/sh within a terminal and you can run 'seamonkey' or whatever (as root), but that root wont be able to use chroot, nor mount unmounted dri...

m1k3

No, you just remind me a lot of another person we used to have on the forums who was very security conscious and knowledgeable.

m1k3

@fatdoguser rufwoof, is that you?

m1k3

Neo_78 I make heavy use of SFS files. Most dev and build tools are in fd64-devx_901.sfs which you can load at boot. Another thing I tend to do is to download the binary package (such as Fedora's latest RPM) for what I'm looking for, extract it, and then right click the folder and turn it into an SF...

m1k3

Oh, I see. In that case you'll probably want a new theme then. There are lots to choose from here: https://www.opendesktop.org/browse?cat=140&ord=rating.

m1k3

Are there any benefits to using OverlayFS other than it being in the kernel?

m1k3

retiredt00 You can increase the window decoration size by going into the Fatdog64 Control Panel and click on the Appearance tab and then click on the Openbox Configuration Manager icon. In the Openbox Configuration Manager, click on the Appearance tab and you can change the font size there. As for ...

m1k3

Gotcha. I guess I'm in the Fatdog camp. Any program that connects to the internet I run as spot. That combined with blocking all incoming connections with iptables and running wireguard I think covers security to a sufficient degree (for me).

m1k3

Is that so you don’t accidentally bork your system?

m1k3

Neo_78 Do you have concerns about running wireguard as root? I could be wrong but it doesn't seem much different than any other network interface started as root. If you're not accepting any inbound connections (blocked by firewall) and internet applications are run as spot, it seems that the the l...

m1k3

Is this mainly so that you can access devices on your network such as your printer?
