ZoL easy to use distribution

Is any of you using ZFS on Linux as a daily driver?. If so, have you found any distribution that supports it in an kind of easy to mantain manner with kernel upgrades?.

My understanding is that at the moment is not as stable and tested as it should be for any distro to choose it as main FS, but I guess some might be do it easier than others to get it running or have a base install with it.

I saw that Manjaro architect has added initial support for it, asked yesterday on the Manjaro subreddit but didn't got any input :(.

If any of you is using ZoL, how has been the experience so far?.

when the cusor is not focused on the search bar, you simply use \`j\` to move the selection of the result down, \`k\` to go up and \`l\` to follow the link it was focused on.

I accidently discorved this when I currently have the habbits of using \`hjkl\` of moving my cursor

[Instructions] Alpine Linux on Kindle Paperwhite with Chromium

Hi,

a while ago I posted on /r/unixporn about how full blown Alpine Linux runs on a Kindle Paperwhite 3. There have been attempts with Debian, but now for the first time there is up-to-date software compatible with the old kernel, useful tools like the onboard onscreen keyboard, and most importantly a proper browser that just works!

Here are some images: [https://imgur.com/gallery/uX1DENC](https://imgur.com/gallery/uX1DENC)

A small video how scrolling through a webpage looks: [https://imgur.com/gallery/F88pKNU](https://imgur.com/gallery/F88pKNU)

A few people stated their interest in how to set it up, so I wrote down tools+instructions to do so: [**https://github.com/schuhumi/alpine\_kindle**](https://github.com/schuhumi/alpine_kindle)

If you have a jailbroken Kindle already, it's really not that hard to set up, the provided image file has a sensible XFCE setup already. Also you don't lose your Kindle's ability to buy and read ebooks, this runs like an "application", all you lose is 2GB storage space (also not permanently, you can easily remove Alpine again). I only tested it on a Paperwhite 3, but it should work on others as well.

There have been a number of threads about linux on epaper devices, and this is probably the best experience possible right now I guess (without building your own device). So have fun with it!

Also the unixporn thread for anyone interested: [https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/cll9zv/kinde\_paperwhite\_3\_alpine\_linux\_xfce\_chromium/](https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/cll9zv/kinde_paperwhite_3_alpine_linux_xfce_chromium/)

nftables: how to do connection rate limiting

I want to limit how many times per minute an IP can attempt to connect to my machine's SSH port. The examples provided at https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Meters don't work with my version of nftables 0.9.1 on kernel 5.2.7.

Specifically, it seems that in the map I need to put a literal colon (:) and then a value after it in the 'type' line when creating a map. I guess this specifies what the ipv4_addr and inet_service are supposed to map _to_.

How does one actually do this? I want to do more or less exactly what the wiki shows.

Also, random nftables gripe, why is it called ipv4_addr and inet_service in the map, but called 'ip saddr' and 'tcp dport' in the rule?

Problems with dual monitors using an Asus laptop

Hi guys! I installed linux mint in my laptop and everything works out of the box except when i try to use a second monitor... I admit that my laptop is pretty bad (it doesn't have any graphic card, and its cpu isn't that great) but i don't have any other problem.

When i connect a new screen, some black artifacts appear on the screen and my mouse cursor completely bugs out (it divides into 3/4 cursors and flickers).

I don't think that this issue is linked to linux mint because i couldn't find anyone with the same issue via Google.

My second monitor is connected to my laptop with an adaptor (DVI -> HDMI), could it be the cause of this problem ???

Edit: My cpu is an Intel Pentium if that can help.

See wifi password in GNU/Linux

If using NetworkManager(Package);

goto /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

as root and read the respective text file name as the wifi name. You will find it in the line "psk=" under \[wifi-security\] section.

Though you need to be root to read those files.

Update:: For those of you who say "We can see password in the router config page" Its useful to see the router's password only if you own the router. This wont be helpful for in case like, you goto your friend's house, he connects you to his wifi but wont tell you the password.

For wicd (I believe parrot sec uses wicd)

goto /etc/wicd
and open wireless-settings.conf
