What's the most "unique" DE/WM and why?

So I asked questions about linux distros already and I did get alot of answers, but now I wanna know what your most unqiue de/wm is!

For my it's nscDE because it replicates the og xorg style so well and it also gives nostalgia vibes. If you aren't familiar with that DE you can seaech it up,youll be stunned

Where do i find guides on configuring aerc (the terminal mail client)

Hey,

I want to make a switch to aerc from thunderbird to me more efficient with my email workflow.

I've chosen aerc and I can send and receive emails fine but I'm having trouble configuring it.

1. I want to do things like: setup notifications
2. change storage location of my email
3. remove plain app passwords from config and move to something more secure, etc

but I cannot find any guides or even good documentation on aerc.

Also where does aerc save my mails by default? Or it fetches headers everytime and then fetches mails by default?

Are there any resources I can consult to configure my aerc.


Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Arrows/Delete key produce characters in Debian 12

Working in a fresh VM, first time using Debian. In the terminal, when I press the arrows up, down, right, and left, it generates ^[A^[[B^[[C^[[D. The DELETE key also produces characters.

Any idea how to get my arrows, delete key, etc to work?

Meow! this is basically a cat like utility that uses Neovim

Before asking, there's two cool things I can think of when using this:

Neovim lua configuration, allowing to a lot of customization (I think);
Easy to change colorschemes to use with Neovim (it does not use some plugin manager, it just clones a repository and source it, but it's lua! you can add a plugin manager if you want). here's the link for it: repository

Funny story

So I was just starting out with linux today, I dual booted kali and ubuntu on one ssd with windows on another, however, try as I might, I could not get my tethered usb connection to my phone to be stable. After attempting a numerous amount of fixes and solutions, I fixed everything by moving the usb cable from one of the front ports to one of the back ports of my pc. I was almost about to give up, but luckily found a situation.

What options Linux have for Memory Isolation?

Many years ago in 2012, I was studying QNX in college and we saw a lot of advantages of it. One in particular was memory isolation and dedicate CPU. Now, I was studying TEE (Intel SGX) and I understand one of the advantages is memory isolation, something that I understood QNX solved long time ago now could be possible in Linux only by using specialized secure hardware.

I saw this as a negative aspect of Linux, secure research is aware that whatever process with privileges can hack other process by accessing its memory. I am not sure if QNX solution is 100% trusted, but I want to know fi Linux is doing something or considering something for this problem.

Only the Tip (ghostty)

PSA - Only the tip version of ghostty requires zig 0.14 to compile, everything else requires the older zig version 0.13. This can be slightly confusing with the new documentation saying simply that zig version 0.14 is required (yes, but only for the tip).

When in doubt use the full path to the desired zig binary when compiling (or simply download the compiled ghostty binary instead).

My little cheat sheet, csv style:

"ghostty version", "zig version required"
"v1.1.0", "v0.13"
"v1.1.2", "v0.13"
"v1.1.3", "v0.13"
"tip", "v0.14"

>Note: I feel like ghostty version 1.1.4 must be coming soon and that will probably require zig 0.14 to compile, similar to current tip.

In unrelated news (since it happens to be in the screenshot), PowerShell version 7.5.1 is available now! Totally unrelated to ghostty but it looks like they do have support for PowerShell on the roadmap.


//Edit: fixed version numbers that I butchered.

Is Kernotex a good LFS resource?

This playlist by Kernotex, is it good for learning LFS https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyc5xVO2uDsB9d49xOfLDObv9O0a0G6kH ?


Yes, I will also have the book itself by my side and read it but having someone to do the steps with you makes it less intimidating.

Do you restrict your SSH with PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms?

As per the noscript, I wonder if it's common practice to change the defaults (see below) and if you do, what do you typically end up with?

From man 5 sshd_config:

PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms
Specifies the signature algorithms that will be accepted
for public key authentication as a list of comma-separated
patterns. Alternately if the specified list begins with a
‘+’ character, then the specified algorithms will be
appended to the default set instead of replacing them. If
the specified list begins with a ‘-’ character, then the
specified algorithms (including wildcards) will be removed
from the default set instead of replacing them. If the
specified list begins with a ‘^’ character, then the
specified algorithms will be placed at the head of the
default set. The default for this option is:

ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp384-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp521-cert-v01@openssh.com,
sk-ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com,
sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com,
rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01@openssh.com,
ssh-ed25519,
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,
sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com,
sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com,
rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256

The list of available signature algorithms may also be
obtained using "ssh -Q PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms".
