Hello_Head_on_a_Stick
I hope you are well.
Let's throw them headless corpses into a skip full of petrol!
Your knowledge is great, noatime breaks mutt.
noatime is very very commonplace to ease wear on ssd's.
I use easyos 2.6.1 a lot, tons of tools, noatime in fstab,
I just ran PETget and low and behold mutt is not in the Barry Kauler kitchen sink distro.
PETget describes mutt as, text-based mailreader supporting MIME GPG PGP and threading.
What ideas you got on the post re hardening, apart from effective sovereign control and Microsoft buying shares in LSEG!
William Gibson.
The blood of a zaibatsu is information, not people. The structure is independent of the individual lives that comprise it. Corporation as life form.
Certainly I think it is possible to hack down the DC. Ask MSS Guoanbu & mil equiv for a one word answer.
Battery is a parameter choice.
It's the 'information economy,' tell em nowt.
Another idea, during install, after select and install software, I alt f2 and chroot /target and add to etc/fstab noatime.
Running X via a setuid binary wrapper, I do not have the amount of knowledge, I don't know if this is OK or not running in a boot=live toram.
****
Hardening Linux, minimal, to ultra.
I propose that we can perhaps come up with top ten ideas.
My ideas.
Put a tiny bit of blue tack in the laptop webcam hole.
See what Robert Shingledecker and Barry Kauler are doing, they're second to none.
Forget systemd.
For install, do not use mains, use battery. If you need mains get a leisure battery and an inverter about double the watts of your box.
Nuke the internal storage device, fdisk/gdisk and /dev/urandom|zero is OK. I don't use it.
Boot from a flash drive with a loader created by a professor/doctor i.e., Refind.
Do your own specific firmware(s,) choose versions.
Devuan Daedalus netinstall got ath10k in it, brings up wireless, Debian Bookworm netinstall has not does not.
Refracta seems to be happier with Intel i915, maybe, direct memory access or something.
Initial OS minimal install offline I don't install standard utilities.
Boot into OS, mount the install medium, dpkg -i libdbus-1-3 libpcsclite1 libnl-route-3-200 libiw30 wireless-tools wpasupplicant.
For what it's worth, README the wpa, and do the chmod.
See if you can IP masquerade in the new iw.
Build a live and go forward, first snapshot, minimal, no openssl, wget, X, etc.
IP masquerade does not work in systemd and wpa,
if config wlan0 hw ether TH:IE:VI:NG:XX:XX
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether `/usr/bin/hexdump -n 6 -e '/1 "%02x"' /dev/urandom`
Install cpufrequtils and cpufreq-set -u 50% or less, or run refractasnapshot and TOAST your storage device.
Refractasnapshot-base is not working in Daedalus.
/etc/live/boot.conf
DISABLE_DM_VERITY=true
****
and/or
****
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live
line 148 copy_exec /bin/mount bin
****
Firmware Intel i915 may make a difference.
usrmerge is a one way ticket, questionable.
The problem is BI, bone idle.
Boot the live, dpkg -i xinit, startx, where's the config in Refracta to NOT go into X.
& to be able to startx in user install xserver-xorg-legacy &
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
allowed_users=anybody
needs_root_rights=yes
****
Purge information thieves reconnaissance handed on a plate crap, e.g., Chimaera,
dpkg --force-all -P elogind libelogind0 libpam-elogind libpolkit-agent-1-0 libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome
dpkg -i libsystemd0
apt-get -f install, problems, zero.
apparmor, bootlogd, others.
Don't use synaptics, use xserver-xorg-input-libinput.
****ULTRA****
Don't use the wireless card in your laptop.
Get a hotspot Wi-Fi Router (about as big as a disposable cigarette lighter, costs about ten bucks,) & an ethernet cable & an ethernet/USB adaptor if you need, & a powerbank for the magic router.
****
Disconnect the antenna cable inside your laptop.
Use leather gloves to prevent ESD, adequate.
Get a screwdriver(s) and a plastic card, credit-card or equivalent, to get in to your laptop.
Knock off the TINY Amphenol RF connector with a BIC biro top.
Put a tiny bit of tape round the plug.
If/When you reconnect the cable, be ULTRA careful, be DEAD level when you push it home.
See what you are doing with a magnifying glass.
This will MASSIVELY reduce the range from about as long as you like to about less than one metre.
****
Put some caravan tape in your wallet to shield your bank card so the alarm does not go off when you walk IN to the supermarket.

What's the first program you learn in an OS, any OS, shutdown. Not poweroff; my balls. What's the next program you learn, in any OS.
When was the last time you were ifup and mouse driven came out of X to console; waiting, waiting. Are you a spastic using government corporation thieves synaptics, are you not using evdev and libinput terminate ctrl alt bksp what value is your alt gr sysrq set to is it set to REISUB that's busier spelt backwards practice with one hand blindfolded.
One should totally abstrusely profoundly understand that hardware and software are completely the same thing.
hello amc252,
we problem solve and the issue turns out to be something different.
if you do a vanilla snapshot & it don't work, try that extract live folder from iso method,
i am trying my best, we're all in different date locale on the planet,
please understand i'm doing my best to input
Of course at some point the interweb is going to go pop,

just out of curiousity, just for ideas and imagination, nothing more nothing less.
And if anybody's got any ideas to waste my time, read the post from the beginning.

I can say thank you in 80 - 100 languages.
I don't have a flair for languages whatsoever but I prefer to think not in my native tongue.
The stipes on the Greek flag denote freedom or death, the national anthem means freedom or death.
Freedom or death means freedom or death.
Anybody thinks privacy freedom is dead is a total vlakas.
I'm an artist.
The first thing artists have to say is; if we stop asking questions we don't exist.
no fear, that is an order
Contemporaneously this is the western lands brothers and sisters, the parasite is killing the host.

Anybody got any ideas on the validity of ifconfig.
aluma, thank you for the information,
why that administror tool golinux has any place whatsoever in this forum is beyond me, waste of my mother fucking time.
Needs to fuck off and get on some amateur existentialism bullshit forum.
This is serious existential business.
There seems to be a failure in grasping the first word of this post, problematic,
I was inferring implying, routine engineering.
To say

I've got an ancient druid poem for you,
'who but I sets the cool head aflame with smoke.'
does anybody use debfoster, I mean it's wonderful.
Don't worry, soul killing, killing on a soul level, is bullshit.
If something don't get you, something else will, eat lettuce I say.
All our death certificates should say murder on them.
if it's primarily a disease of the nervous system then calling a WMD nerve agent gene therapy is some agents abstruse and profound words.
great, lets talk about gene 'therapy' I know what, I've got a better idea, I'll go for a walk round the freezing moorside top of my garden with a nail in my shoe.
Thank you Head I like it,
I'm a bit out of date, like you I prority power management,
alternative to wpa sounds wonderful flipping dependencies.
I don't think I'll ever give up ifconfig and route, & debfoster! & psmisc killall
ifconfig hw ether MAC is so easy.
Cheers.
Howdy,
In Chimaera, I use refractasnaphot-base all the time to build up systems.
By the way, it's not working right in Daedalus.
First I will comment on what you're doing then tell you what I do.
I've never dd'd the iso, I do it different.
But it's obviously booting working to some degree.
I suggest trying with the default config, I find some of the config a bit flaky.
How I,
Firstly, I'm a bit prehistoricschool, I don't have a bootloader on my system.
I have it on a flashdrive, like having the key and the lock in my pocket.
Lets be realistic, these days booting is a nightmare, Grub is an installation as big as a shed, what security vulnerability.
Contemporaniously I use Refind, I think it is out of sight, no competition at all, I mean Rod rodsbooks dot com is on the microcode at Ubuntu so we can actually boot our boxes dealing with that crappy reconnaissance.
Anyway, from sourceforge dot net, get verson 0.13.2 refind-flashdrive-0.13.2.zip and unzip and dd.
cp refind.conf _refind.conf
edit refind.conf
timeout 20 change if you fancy
textonly
textmode 0
also_scan_dirs live,boot,ESP2:EFI/linux/kernels
# the above line we have added, live
I cp /home/snapshot/snapshot-XX.iso /root/ss_00.iso
mount -o loop ss_00.iso /tmp
cp -r /tmp/live to_a_flashdrive
boot, tab the entry, and add to the line, boot=live toram
friend, please persevere, I think you'll be impressed, regards
Presently my main motivation for relaxing in Peropesis is to learn some network configuration.
Debian is fine although ifconfig and route on the netinstall would be nice amongst other things, I suppose bzip2 would be asking too much I know it's about security, Red Hat Fedora has become a questionable puzzle, Peropesis is based on a general filesystem hierarchy standard, has ifconfig and route, wpa_supplicant and wpa_passphrase, dhcpd.
And finally, iw.
Time for me to learn some iw as I aborted first time, found it a pain in the bottom.
Does anybody like iw, got anything interesting to say about it.
Presently I'm into peropesis OS.
It's lithuanian.
