NordVPN for linux app.

Hi all,

I've created a small app that lets you connect to nordvpn on linux, it uses their cli, xtermjs and electron under the hood. Note that this app is not final, actually it's a first small release with most of their cli functionality working.

[https://github.com/martijnmichel/nordvpn-linux](https://github.com/martijnmichel/nordvpn-linux) for some small docs.

[https://github.com/martijnmichel/nordvpn-linux/releases](https://github.com/martijnmichel/nordvpn-linux/releases) to download the release.

I hope to get some feedback. Thanks

Windows missing from bootloader

So, I have a bit of experience with Linux and I've tried a few distros and I quite like OpenSuse. Problem is after installing it I boot to the Grub2 Bootloader and my options are: "OpenSuse", "Advanced OpenSuse" and some other option that just has more OpenSuse in it. If I change the boot order in the UEFI menu I can boot into Windows normally and hitting F11 during startup brings up the boot menu like normal for me to choose.

So my question is, is there a specific way I have to install OpenSuse to include Windows in the Grub menu or can I add the windows entry to the grub menu? Windows was on there first. Linux is on a separate ssd

Experimental Panfrost OpenGL ES 3.0 support has landed in Mesa

Panfrost's ES 3.0 support has landed in upstream Mesa and works with a mainline Linux kernel. The support is still early, but if you're feeling adventurous, feel free to give it a try on your favourite ES 3.0 applications and games!

KDE Plasma and Latte dock stuck in full-screen/low resource mode.

Hey all, I recently tried playing 7 Days to Die on my PopOS install. Long story short, I tried generating a random world, the game locks up my system and I had to reboot. However, since rebooting my KDE Plasma desktop and my Latte dock have been constantly stuck in their full-screen mode, or their "low power" mode or something like that. It's the mode when you're playing a full-screen game so it doesn't take up too many resources, when all the flashy effects are disabled and Latte constantly has a static brown background.


I've tried rebooting a few times, tried launching 7DTD again and quitting instantly as well as some other full-screen games, and looked into some settings and searched some questions online but can't find any existing post about this, so I'm asking here. Are there any methods I can try to fix this, preferably without reinstalling Plasma and Latte?

Linux jobs in smaller US towns?

I understand that the jobs are in the big cities, with strong economies, etc.. I know the salaries in such places are higher, but I just really need to get away from the hustle and bustle. My commute is miserable, there are people stacked on top of people here and to be painfully honest, I just want to distance myself from the BS.

So, with that being said, I want to move. I'm not really concerned with 'where' in the country, as much as I am with just finding a job that I can go to everyday, and not want to **rent a bulldozer with a omni-directional flamethrower for the drive home.** The searches I have done, seem to regularly want the swiss-army knife IT guy.. *'someone to manage our network devices including firewalls, SAN, Active Directory environment, our Linux servers, and handle desktop support, oh and be available for 24x7 on-call'*

**I'm not interested in that kind of nonsense.**

Me? I've got 20+ years working with Linux, up to Team Lead roles, in very established large companies, as well as StartUps.. ***So here is my question:*** Where are you folks *(and there have to be some of you out there that were in similar situations)* finding jobs in smaller towns?

The Internet was never designed with security in mind?

Interesting quotes from a Bruce Schneier book. It's news to me that the Internet was never designed with security in mind. As it does exactly what it was designed to do, deliver packets end-to-end. If you've got control of a BGP system then you can of course get up to all sorts of mischief.

“ [Click here to kill everybody](https://www.schneier.com/books/click_here/)“ by Bruce Schneier Sep 2018

“The Internet was never designed with security in mind:“

“When the Internet was developed, what security there was focused on physical attacks against the network. Its fault-tolerant architecture can handle servers and connections failing or being destroyed. What it can’t handle is systemic attacks against the underlying protocols.“

“And even for relatively high-quality software systems like Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, you’re still installing patches all the time.“

“Criminals have harnessed large numbers of hacked computers into bot, or zombie, networks.“

Notice how Schneier manages to not mention Windows in relation to bots and gives one mention to linux in the footnotes.

“Nearly all of us use one of three computer operating systems and one of two mobile operating systems.“

Still no mention of Linux or Open Source and just who in their right minds runs the DHS on Windows.

He does quote the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) from 1996:

“It is highly desirable that Internet carriers protect the privacy and authenticity of all traffic, but this is not a requirement of the architecture. Confidentiality and authentication are the responsibility of end users and must be implemented in the protocols used by the end users. Endpoints should not depend on the confidentiality or integrity of the carriers. Carriers may choose to provide some level of protection, but this is secondary to the primary responsibility of the end users to protect themselves.“

Yea, Confidentiality and authentication are the responsibility of end users, and all the rest is doom-and-gloom waffle.

Hello Reddit. After a lot of research I have decided to switch to Linux but when I try to boot into my drive (with Solus) then this happens. Any ideas to fix it?

@r_linux

I want to go to my local Microsoft office this Sunday with my friends and protest proprietary software. Do you think this would be worthwhile? If so, then DM me to obtain more details.

This one: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/about/officelocator?Location=77024](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/about/officelocator?Location=77024). I'm trying not to advertise, but I'd like to promote and encourage others to join my favorite/our favorite cause.

​

EDIT: I seem to have been enlightened by the Linux community. What about creating, for example, a booth where one can ask informants about open source software? Sort of like a Socratic advertising strategy (which sounds ironic for FOSS).
