nixCraft 🐧Ever worried about other users on your Linux server seeing what processes are running? The `hidepid` kernel feature is your friend! It makes processes invisible to anyone but the owner and root user, even in system monitoring tools like ps, top, htop, and btop. This is a great way to prevent sensitive information (like API keys or passwords used in command-line arguments) from being exposed. See how to configure it <a href="https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-hide-processes-from-other-users/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-hide-processes-from-other-users/</a> for more info.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#security</a>

CryogenicNighthawkThe <a href="https://mastodon.social/@eff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@eff</a> made a wonderful project called rayhunter. It detects modern cell site simulators (aka stingrays, fake cell towers).But it doesn't work out of the box on Debian and when I offered a fix (commands to compile a version for Debian), they didn't like it, suggesting that everyone who uses Debian or Ubuntu 22.04 should set up a rust development environment & compile it themselves.The beauty of <a href="https://4d2.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> is that I don't have to accept that answer.

Ben WerdmullerThis is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single blog post or news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host documentation securely and on their own terms.

RichardIf <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> fanatics were 10% as good at writing easy to understand documentation as they are talking down to anyone not on their programming level, <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> would spread across the country. But they got to be closed minded about it. And no, reply guy, I am not interested in the free "seminar" that is really just 20 hours of you on youtube.
