Is engineering workloads feasible on Linux.

I’m getting a new laptop in tomorrow, and I’m half considering installing Linux from the get go. I’m in my second year of a mechanical engineering undergrad and I’m wondering if this will be a big mistake.

The easy stuff like math, and data analysis is pretty easy on Linux, just web browser, vs code and a spreadsheet.

Ik solid works on MX Mac’s got a lot better but is it usable on x86 Linux also programs like matlab, solid works, fusion 360, multi sim, auto cad. Just chime in with personal experience

It’s for school so not on a hobby heavy tinkering time table I would love to use Linux but I have no interest in dual booting or lots of vms

Mail system distributed across 2 domains

Hello everybody,

I have Postfix+Courier setup on domain A (my homelab). Second domain B is somewhere on DigitalOcean. Current setup works pretty much well but recently I started noticing that some incoming mail isn't delivering. Also my current internet provider has a good spammer reputation (Spectrum hehe) so Google & Microsoft, as well as other popular services reject my outgoing emails.

What I want to achieve: I want to setup Postfix on machine where domain B is located but make it as a secondary (mail. subdomain) of domain A. Courier will run on machine/domain A. All mail clients (Outlook, RoundCube, maybe local mail addressed to 3rd party addressee) should go through the machine/domain A and then route to subdomain (machine B). I suppose that could resolve the issue with outgoing emails - they will not be marked as spam (because of my domain A originated from the Spectrum subnet).

How to achive that?

Best /etc/hosts file for adblocking?

Hi everyone,

I used to use the gigantic hosts file from winhelp2002 and throw it into my router's hosts file. The guy was a legend but unfortunately passed away. Instead of installing some kind of ad blocker on every device on my network, does anyone know of a regularly updated hosts file to block ads/malware that I can put on my router and servers?

Is there a way to print a list of vulnerabilities?

I am looking to prove there is no sweet32 vuln on my sever. I was screen sharing with another tech recently - I didn’t see his commands, but he ran something and it output a list, he scrolled down and found sweet32, he then upgraded the node, ran the same code, scrolled down and it was no longer showing.

Any idea what this command could be?

Perl terminal for Linux

https://preview.redd.it/ixo1otizr99f1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=012fa5f6e202a5336b59f15632fd713c63641207





Added transparency, custom color schemes (you can colorize everything), system info with custom noscript images, and most importantly super fast change directory cd command instead of tab autocomplete.

This terminal is written in Perl. It has custom border (you can change it from 1 - 5 pixels) with accent colors (it can be changed in settings as well). The panel on the right side is for searching commands.

This Perl terminal has some cool denoscriptive commands implemented. E.g. you just type: "create_backup of <source> to <target>" where you replace <source> and <target> with directories, and rsync does the rest. It creates backup of your e.g. home directory to e.g. external drive. Example:

create_backup of /home to /username/media/backup excluding .cache Movies

Other denoscriptive commands are:

copy <file or directory> to <directory>

delete <file or directory>

find <pattern> in <target>

search <pattern> in <target>

move <file or directory> to <directory>

rename <old name> to <new name>

locate_files <files or directories>

\---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Experienced users don't need this terminal, my intention was to create a Linux terminal that is a bit more fun to use for new Linux users.

Long time Gnome fanboy. But KDE rocks!

I've used gnome exclusively since a few years ago when I switched to Linux. I had never been interested in KDE Plasma DE mostly because it looks like Windows shell.

I decided to switch to Fedora Kinoite a few days ago for a fresh experience. And OMG, KDE Plasma keeps impressing me every hour I play/tinker with it!!!

Can't believe I've missed it for so long. It's simply in another league. Not comparable to Gnome or Windows shell or macOS. It's so polished and has some smart features.

One problem that I could never solve on Gnome was connecting my console to the laptop via an Ethernet cable and sharing the VPN connection with the console (some games can't be played in my area due to geo blocking, etc).
Well, KDE has straight forward options in the settings app for that kind of configure. And it was so simple and seamless!

I'm probably staying on KDE for a long time.
